Comments Sent by Practitioners with HIV Infection

"I am at this time feeling very well and fit. I feel great with the practice and energy flowing. I feel that my will power is getting stronger and my body nourished through the practice of retaining and cultivating sperm. At this early stage, I slip up at times but I'm working on it. The postures I find very beneficial as I'm getting used to them. I have basically incorporated them in my meditation. I practice Tai Chi Chuan regularly and try to follow Tao as best as I can."

HIV/AIDS and Symptoms

HIV

Human Immunodeficiency Virus(HIV) is a virus that attacks the body's immune system. The virus gradually weakens men's immune system against disease, leaving them vulnerable to many infections and cancers

Some people with HIV infection have no symptoms at all, some have mild health problems, and others have full-blown AIDS.

A positive blood test means that a person has HIV antibodies that indicate infection with the virus. This does not mean the person has AIDS, although many HIV-positive persons will develop AIDS years after infection with the virus. Anyone who tests HIV-positive can transmit the virus to others, regardless of how long they have been infected or whether they have AIDS or other symptoms.

At the early stages of HIV infection, the symptoms don't show up. People can live with AIDS for years without knowing it. Then later the virus grows within the white blood cells and destroys them. When most of the cells are destroyed, the immune system is destroyed and the body weakens. Some patients will have such symptoms as the following: they begin feeling tired and loose weight. They may often have a cold, a cough, diarrhea, fever, or sweating at night. Then at the late stages AIDS virus has nearly destroyed the body's immune system. The body has great difficulty fighting off germs.

AIDS

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is the end stage of HIV infection. AIDS means HIV has seriously damaged the immune system. Often the person has been diagnosed with a life-threatening infection or cancer.

It can take 10 years or more from the time of initial infection with HIV to a diagnosis of AIDS. On average, people with AIDS live approximately two to four years after diagnosis.

The Principal Signs
  • Rapidly losing body weights.
  • Chronic diarrhea
  • Fever lasting more than a month.

The Secondary Signs

  • Intractable cough lasting long over a month.
  • General pruritic dermatitis.
  • Recurrent herpes zoster
  • Morriliasis in the mouth and throat.
  • Herpes simplex.
  • General lymphadenectasis.

In case there are two principal signs and more than one secondary sign listed above in addition to the positive results of the serological and virological tests, the AIDS disease can be confirmed.

AZT is a pill that helps to prolong the lives of HIV infected patients. Ninety percent of patients who have taken the AZT pill are still alive after one year of being diagnosed. But there are some side effects of AZT. Other drugs have also been tested and created in the past few years. These drugs have different side effects. Medicines to fight AIDS need to be developed to kill the viruses, but not the cells that the viruses live in. There is a very long way to go.

    DaMo Qigong Practice: Using Internal Medicine to Achieve AIDS Cure

    1. Mechanism
    Qigong, an ancient science and art of health, is a traditional form of Chinese energy excise and healing art for the body, mind, and spirit. Qigong is ideal for establishing emotional balance in today's stressful lifestyle and for helping to heal seriously ill people--those struggling with chronic degenerative conditions such as paralysis, cancer, asthma, cardiovascular and other more.

    People will ask us what the mechanism of qigong is. Generally speaking, like in a rice field, western medicine always have the trend of using all their means to kill the weeds. But in the meantime the rice shoots incur damage, more or less. Most patients know what the results is when they receive radiotherapy and chemotherapy. But for qigong practice, at beginning it will directly strengthen patients immune system and more deep concerning inner energy system. In a word, it seeks to harmonize the relationship of all internal organs and drop the idea to distinguish which is friend and which is enemy. How to achieve such aim, you may ask? For a tree, at the very beginning there is no division of which is normal and which abnormal for it stays at initiative stage of the very root. But later different branches develop into various forms, and good, bad, long, short, etc. come into being. By adopting special means we can reverse the process of growing up and take the course of sailing against the life current to return back to the very beginning. Once we reach that state there should be no any "branches" possibly existing to wield effects upon our physical existence. Qigong is just the method of how to take the reversing course.

    As like to let the rice shoots get stronger and stronger, the weeds will have less and less effects upon the rice shoots. As the process continues, sometime the weeds will have no effect upon the rice shoots. Later the time will come of the rice shoots overpowering weeds. And people naturally know why qigong can prolong patients' life expectancy, at least. If patients can properly proceed with the practice, qigong can bring them much more than they could expect, especially the serene happiness general people could never have the chance to experience throughout their life time. Yes, somebody may ridicule at the theory, but no proper practice for a certain period people will never know what the qigong is. Qigong is the study of practice rather than just a theory. Qigong theory will be always beyond the thinking sphere of the persons who never seriously join the practice for a time.

    2. Qigong Treatment Course
    2-1. Taking Chinese Herbal Medicine
    Patients with HIV are advised to take some Chinese medicine which can help open up channels and collaterals quickly and strengthen immune system. In most of the herbal formulas the herbs should work together to open up channels in a quick way and strenghten Yin and Yang, make for the balance of Yin and Yang, quicken the blood flow, enhance the presence of Defensive Qi and Operative Qi, enrich the blood and Qi. Etc. Taking such herbal medicine can lay a good foundation for Qigong practice to quickly take effect: first is the Yang Qi can have a play ground to arise and reside in. Second, Qi can arise quickly in large amount. When Qi arises from the very deep Qi Ocean the internal organs would function more harmoniously with each other and they would like more to behave as like an integrated unit which can effect incredible power in launching overwhelming force against any potential pathogenic factors.

    2-2. Persistent Self-Practice
    When channels are opened up and evil Qi is driven away, the excellent environment for Qi to arise comes to be ready and patients should pracitice diligently with the practice every day. Many patients failed to gain final success because they don't have a strong will power in persisting in the practice every day. Qigong practice pay much attention upon how to discipline the false heart. There exist no diseases that cannot be cured, yet there always exist the false heart that could not be dead. So the first step for qigong practice is to discipline the false heart. Zhong Liu once said:" I am a dead man still alive. I can see nothing, I can hear nothing, my thinking ability is gong. I have no consciousness of my existence." All these mean I am dead, yet my mind-will still keeps its presence motionlessly in the infinite emptiness. What am I? I have been dead for thousands of years."

    The key for successfully achieving incredible progress lies in rapid storing up adequate Yang Qi, then with it to open up the twelve meridians, Ren channels and Du channel, and the eight extra meridians. When Yang Qi and Primeval Qi smoothly circulate in all channels and collaterals, all evil pathogenic factors will be gradually die out.

    There are about many postures available for treating AIDS in Qigong. If patients persist in practicing these postures six hours every day in a proper way, and keep free from all other stray thoughts intruding upon the heart, there will be no despair anymore. When our heart, as like the root of a tree, falls ' ill,' our body will fall ill. When our heart keeps away from all 'diseases,' our body will be healthy always!

    Lee, Xuhan, a great Qigong master accomplished in Tao, once said: " When only the last breath is left along there still exists the opportunity for the patient to recuperate their health again."

    For proper Qigong practice, the following lists all the essential things patients should pay attention to:

    • Strong will power in persisting in the practice every day
    • Preserve enough Jing for it is the physical foundation for Qigong progress.
    • Fall the heart into a constant stillness, get rid of all disturbance, abstain from experiencing too much emotional changes.
    • Lead a very simple life, take vegetables rather than food of cold, pepery, fat, too sweet nature.
    • Choose to practice very effective school of Qigong, which can prevent patients from wasting too much time.

    3-3. Some Points
    To successfully cure chronic diseases with Qigong practice lies upon five essentials:
    The first is to discipline the heart throughly, and cleanse the heart of all stray thoughts. The second is continue with the practice three hours every day. The third is to take some herbal medicine and puncture some points in order to lay a good foundation for Qigong practice. The fourth is to pay much attention upon the food you take. Almost 85% of the diseases have less and more connection with the food people take every day. No carefully prepared food you are advised to stop Qigong practice. The fifth is to learn a good school of Qigong. There are many kinds of Qigong in the China and world, yet many practitioners waste their time and money to learn the false kinds.
