been on top of my game when it came to exercising, nutrition, etc. Imagine, one day you visit the doctor on a regular check up and he tells you he'll have to refer you to a few other Medical Doctors (Neurologist's, Specialists, Optometrists, etc) stating you have Optic Neuritis which is associated with Multiple Sclerosis. The first week of April, 2004 was the day I found this out and I was outlined with appointments left and right such as a Visually Evoked Potential test, MRI, CAT Scan, etc. Mind you, I was the type of person that didn't like going to the doctors office unless I needed to go but this pretty much goes for most people.

During that year, my Optometrist discussed I would have to take Prednisone to reduce the inflammation. However, the negative aspect is that continuing to take the medication could possibly reduce your vision or you can permanently lose your eye sight. Being 30 years old at that time I never took any drugs or medication for my health. The last time I remembered even taking an aspirin was when I was about 8 or 9 years old coming down with a severe fever. I decided on my own not to take any medication and I advised my Optometrist. Afterwards, I began doing visualization with my breathing and I found this relaxing with the stress I had. I heard and read articles about controlled breathing to promote blood flow through out your body. I controlled my breathing by inhaling most of the air and exhaling all my air. I continued doing this for about 8 months. After my regular visits with my Neurologist and Optometrist, they confirmed and mentioned I was healthy again!

I asked my Optometrist "what happened for this unexpected reversal?". All he mentioned was that "you are lucky, so don't worry about it". This began my first experience with Qi Gong but I didn't find it again until 2007 of August when I had thoughts and curiosity once again. I came across Qi Gong many times over the years but I didn't really pay much attention to it. Imagine, something so simple that can reverse the process of a person's health. Was I just lucky or was it my visualization and controlled breathing that turned things around? Alright folks I'll now be discussing what the hype is all about with Qi Gong!

First thing, Qi Gong has been around for many centuries and it goes back from 2,500 years ago to even 7,000 years old. The reason the estimation on the historical development of Qi Gong is because it was passed down amongst monks and teachers in secrecy. For example,
