So I was lurking around some forums on facebook and was astonished to see that a Tai Chi marketing guru was claiming how he repaired his broken spine in three places with Qigong and all his students are praising him. this is not the first time I've seen marketing buffs make such claims as it was done two years ago by another butthead with the same type of following.
Please folks, if you break your back/spine please seek professional help and don't decide to practice qigong because your non-medically professional qigong instructor says it is ok to do so.
There was another Tai chi master who died recently cause he refused to go to a doctor due to his abdominal pain. He thought his qigong would make it go away. Do not be stupid folks.
while qigong may be a adjunct to getting you better along with a doctor's approval after proper diagnosis and physical therapy, it is no way a replacement for primary care. It is even worse to have the marketing buttheads make the claims that they do.
