QIGONG CLASSES

Welcome to the world of Qigong. You pronounce it chee koong. Qigong is a Chinese medical art that uses no drugs whatever yet achieves amazing results. It is used in the Chi Lel hospital not far from Beijing

This hospital is the largest of its kind in China. The Center avoids medicines and special diets in favor of exercise, love, and life energy. It is recognized by the Chinese government as a legitimate clinic. Over the years, the Center has treated more than one hundred and eighty diseases, the overall success rate being more than 95%.

When a patient enters the hospital, he is diagnosed by a doctor and then assigned to a class of fifty or so people for a 24-day treatment period. He spends most of his time practicing Qigong, eight hours a day without television, newspapers, or telephone. In 24 days the patient is usually completely well.

Gary and Siew Lee Powell of the Pink Waterlily Health Centre are qigong practitioners who teach on beautiful Ninderry Mountain, on the Sunshine Coast. Through teaching Qigong, they want to help people:

ü break away from the idea of a drug for everything;

ü learn to stay in top health

ü prevent disease from entering the body

ü cope with the frustration and anxiety that comes from stress

They believe that to be in good health you must be fit and happy and spiritually in tune. The classes are kept to a maximum of 25 people and students learn not only the physical side of the art, but also the mind and spirit sides, to keep you balanced.

A little about Gary
On the lighter side

I was once a guest of Gary Powell, the guy who uses some very unusual but effective methods to heal people of just about anything. There was a time when saw a video of him removing a splinter from his ten year old daughter's foot with a wicked looking bayonet, and she just calmly sat there and let him do it. He once put his hand into a lot of bees and let them sting him because had an arthritic back. He has to be nuts, but he said it saved him a lot of pain. He put some clay type of thing on the stings and told me the pain of the stings left in about a minute.

It may have worked for him but I sure am not going to try it.

I have spoken to many who had some awful problem with their health and were penniless and he got them well and didn't send them a bill. They love him. But some say his methods are certainly very different to anything else they have experienced. I was at his home one day and his daughter came in crying with an eyeful of fine sawdust. Gary filled his mouth with water and held her eye open and pressure blasted that water into it. "Well it works, doesn't it?" is all he had to say.

When I look at the situation it was very practical and results were instant, the little girl was wet but had no more pain and there was no irritation left, so who can argue with that.

But his curry is his crowning achievement. However, be warned, it is not for the faint hearted. You have to be tough, very tough, to really appreciate it. Gary was once trained in the art of stealth and I have seen him come and go from beside a person without them ever being aware he was there, in broad daylight. There have been the unnerving times when I have been walking somewhere with him and I turn to speak to him and he is nowhere to be seen. I turned to the other side and there was no sign of him at all. A few seconds later and he is suddenly right beside me. This may be the original Ghost Who Walks. he does it even when there is no cover for a hundred yards for him to conceal himself.

He makes his curry the same way. It sneaks up on you, but unlike Gary, who simply scares you, the curry goes right for the jugular. The first time I tried it he did warn that he made it for himself and not for strangers, because most couldn't handle it.

I thought, " What's he on about. If he can take it, I sure can too!"

I took a small taste and it was absolutely delicious. I just had to have the recipe but no way was he giving it out so I determined to sneak into the kitchen and get a bowl and back-engineer it so I could make it at home. I managed to get in by creating a little diversion at the other end of the complex that required Gary's attention. I got a bowl of curry and a bowl of rice and retired to my cabin with the loot to enjoy my ill gotten gains. The forbidden fruit is always the sweetest.

I settled in to eat while some beautiful Polynesian music wafted in through the bamboo curtains. The taste was superb, and I wasted no time in demolishing the lot. I was happily trying to work out the ingredients when the curry went into it's second phase.

My temperature seemed to rise several degrees, my tongue and mouth felt like I had chewed on a hot exhaust pipe. My ears started burning and my hair stood straight up and fell back in tight curls with a definite singed smell. My dentures melted in my mouth and the glaze cracked on my remaining teeth. I could not see for several minutes because my brow was so hot that sweat blinded me.

I headed for the cool water but that turned to superheated steam on entering the mouth. My entire body broke out in a profuse perspiration and soaked my singlet and lava lava so that the cool wind blowing in the window started an evaporation process and I started to feel a little cooler at last. I wondered just what sort of fiend Gary really was. I later heard he was expelled from The Hot Place because of this curry.

Half an hour later I was recovering. My head was no longer in orbit and I could see again. My clothes were feeling quite cool because of the sweat evaporating and there was this absolutely heavenly after taste of this secret weapon he calls a curry.

The curry goes into phase three the next morning about 5.30 a.m. You wake with this boiling in the gut and head straight for the toilet. Do not delay getting there.

This is when you begin to know what a jet fighter's afterburner feels like.

That is Gary's private curry recipe. As stated, it is absolutely beautiful, but you need to be as tough as a lumberjack with a leather throat and a cast iron gut to handle it. Good luck, and may the force be with you.

I began trying to analyze it and here is what I came up with.

I don't think Gary has yet woken up to the fact that this curry is the only medication he ever needs to prescribe. It will kill any disease fast. The problem is that it might kill you too.

It is wise to stay on his good side in case he does some dirty little trick like give your wife a packet of the ingredients to innocently cook up for you. He has the most twisted sense of humour you could ever wish to find. I don't know if he is an evil genius or something that fell out of The Hot Place. Maybe it is true about him being expelled from there. How can a man who loves classical music, little children and old dogs possibly have such a devious mind as to come up with these man killers

I am not signing this because I want to live a lot longer

Editors Note:
I, too, have eaten Gary's curry (and survived). I liken it somewhat to paint stripper mixed with lighter fluid and a lighted match thrown in.... Ed
