Customer Reviews

It actually works.

So often Books which claim that by reading them you will be able to achieve this or that, fall far,far short of their claims. "Healing with Ki-Kou:" does what it say's and Dr. Li Xiuling is to be congratulated on her book. I have recently been told I have angina, so I bought the book. I practised the breathing exercises and angina pains I get shortly after getting up in the morning, no longer occur. Thats after 4 days practice. Similarly, the angiogram I had recently went so much better because as the procedure was carried out I practiced the breathing exercise and was totally relaxed. The book is easy to follow and the diagrammes are quite adequate for the purpose.I can only say that by breathing as she recommends your health will be improved and that must be a bonus to anyone. I recommend the book whole heartily, no pun intended.Old Bill

Actually works.

Was somewhat leary at first, decided to give it a go. Tried three of the breathing techniques so far, pleased with results. Hard to understand how just breathing properly can change things. The one for fatigue (page 101) is wonderful. Just follow the instructions in the book ( takes a bit of practice to get it right)and it will work. Highly recommend it.

Healing with Ki-Kou is another piece in the puzzle for me. Breathing techniques work wonders and this book is chock full. Highly recomended for the health concious.

Amazingly Simple - Yet Incredibly Effective!

I recently purchased this interesting little workbook - and, surprisingly, the results have been both immediate and amazing. Being American, I had a natural skepticism toward health concepts and understandings coming out of the Orient - where health and well-being is not solely a monopoly of the medical and drug industries. But after recently discovering that as a culture the Chinese are the healthiest in the world in terms of the lowest incidents of debilitating diseases such as cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and many other maladies associated with stress so common in the western industrialized world, I decided to look into and experiment with some of these techniques that date back thousands of years. My experiments with just a FEW of the techniques (clearly described and visually illustrated in the book with simple drawings) have produced considerable results in my life, such as a noticeable increase in my general feeling of well-being, a lowering of blood pressure, as well as needing less sleep. For example, since doing the exercises I've been waking up at around 3 a.m. in the morning feeling wide awake and ready to go, which, I can assure you, has NEVER been a customary habit of mine! All I can say is at least give the techniques described in this book a fair try. They're a lot LESS expensive than drugs and doctors, and a lot MORE effective!

AMAZING SIDE EFFECTS!

LOSE WEIGHT! REDUCE STRESS AND BLOOD PRESSURE! This is the easiest therapy I've ever tried! I take half the meds now and I've lost 22 pounds! AMAZING! ONLY 4 MONTHS TOO! When I bought this book I was a skeptic like most people but decided to actually do it, not just read about it. If the techniques only produce half of the results they claim it's a winner! I have high blood pressure (it's 135/90 was 158/101) and low back pain (still some pain but not as bad), caused from being overweight and never exercising. I'm not a "No Pain No Gain" type person! I hate exercising, I'm a Lazy-boy potato! In 4 month's I've cut my meds in half and hope to eliminate them completely. My doctor is scratching his head. I just turned 62 on December 14th! Sleeping is something I enjoy again! Here's the catch, YOU MUST ACTUALLY DO THE BREATHING TECHNIQUES PETER RANGER! Just reading the book isn't going to produce results! It's like "One Hand Clapping!" (i.e. Knowledge without Action makes no sound)
