Format:Paperback
It is a highly valuable and informative book for ordinary folk, therapists, qigong practitioners, healers, medical and health care professionals to read and consult.
It is a fascinating book engagingly written by Paul Perry, in which Dr. Hong Liu, trained in Western and Chinese medicine, generously shares with you his unusual and fascinating experiences and his long hard voyage (years of qigong training with many train journeys to visit the Taoist master/healer living 600 miles away in a cave high on a mountain) in pursuit of advanced ancient healing art that had amazed both him and the medical experts.
Embedded in the stories are gems of Eastern wisdom and expert knowledge from him and his master on health and diseases, waiting for a keen reader to discover.
Dr. Liu kindly presents the qigong exercises that readers can learn and practise. Do not deceive by the simplicity of these qigong exercises that are treasured by the qigong experts.
Qigong exercises, Chinese herbal remedies and healing meals have also been prescribed kindly by Dr. Liu to help people who suffers from cancers, allergies, hypertension, stroke, arthritis, depression and stress.
You certainly will not be disappointed by the book of a top physician and qigong master. After all how many doctors in the world could diagnosis physical problems by just looking at a patient and treat diseases and ailments with amazing results?

Format:Paperback
This book may be said to be written in an easy to read autobiographical style and his main aim may be said to be to propose a cooperation between allopathic medicine and Qi Gong medicine. The author, Master Hong Liu, does this by means of an engaging narrative describing the way he came to know and learn Qi Gong therapy after he was already a Doctor in allopathic medicine in a military hospital of Sanghai.
Think there is a section introducing the Eight Brocade Exercises, with valuable and detailed descriptions and ilustrations of them, it might not be wise to relay just in this book to start learning them. So this book may not be considered a textbook to start learning Qi Gong, it is rather an introduction to a way of practicing medicine with case examples of it.
There is a section to introduce how to deal by means of exercises and herbal remedies some case examples, which include several diseases: AIDS, Allergies, Arthitris, Prostate Cancer, Headaches, Hypertension, Stress and Depression, Stroke and Weight Loss. Each of them is introduced with a story about an actual case treated by Master Hong Liu. Think one may try to practice the exercises which are proposed, it wan't be so easy to find the herbal remedies because they are from the chinese fitotherapy. You may not expect to learn how to heal these diseases just by reading this book.
Conclusion: Hong Liu's book may be read as if it were a novel of how Allopathic medicine and Qi Gong medicine meet in the life of Master Hong Liu. This book may be neither considered a textbook, nor a treaty on medicine, although some exercises and some chinese fitotherapy recipes are described.

Registered Tai Chi Chuan Instructor - TCUGB
Instructor - Northern Wu Style Tai Ji Quan Global Association
The Healing Art of Qi Gong is essentially three books for the price of one.
The H.A.O.Q.G. firstly describes Hong Liu's qi gong (chi kung) apprenticeship in China. Liu was concurrently training in "Western" medicine and he goes on to combine his expertise in both systems to treat a range of ailments.
A range of "miraculous" healings are described; as would be expected in a book of this type. However, Liu's qi gong Master makes clear that the commonplace has a role to play. In particular the practice of qi gong exercises are described as being the best way to tap into the energy required for healing.
In the second part of the H.A.O.Q.G. Liu provides clear and illustrated instruction in the basics of a qi gong set (with some tweaks) that was taught to him by his own master. This is an "eight pieces of brocade" type set. This is a well known and widely practiced qi gong set and its inclusion allows the reader to get some direct benefits from Liu's book.
The third part of the book offers suggestions on the use of qi gong exercise, diet and Chinese herbs for specific ailments and conditions.
I found the H.A.O.Q.G. to be an interesting combination of personal story and chi kung exercise. The range of chi kung exercise provided isn't extensive but it's enough to allow the reader to make a start for themselves and enjoy some health benefits.
H.A.O.Q.G. is a recommended buy.
