.Yoga
helps relieve Migraines pain
Yoga can help people
with arthritis, fibromyalgia,
migraine, low back pain,
and many other types of chronic pain conditions.
A study published in Annals of Internal Medicine found that
among 313 people with chronic low back pain, a weekly yoga
class increased mobility more than standard medical care for
the condition. Another study published at nearly the same time
found that yoga was comparable to standard exercise therapy in
relieving chronic low back pain.
A meta-analysis of 17
studies that included more than 1,600 participants concluded
that yoga can improve daily function among people with
fibromyalgia osteoporosis-related curvature of the spine.
Practicing yoga also improved mood and psychosocial
well-being.

meant to stimulate a discussion between you and your
physician, health insurance carrier, etc., not as medical
advise. Research and comments provided here are hoped to
stimulate a more robust discussion of powerful natural
mind/body health tools. Popular media, health media, and
government must increase attention to stunning emerging
research, including the UCLA study indicating Tai Chi
participants enjoyed a 50% increase in immune system
resistance to viral infection.

"Visionary! If you only buy one book on T'ai Chi, then this
is the book. This book is all you ever needed to know to
change your life. I have taught T'ai Chi for several decades
myself, yet I have now read Bill's book from cover to cover
seven times, and still get something new from it each time."
– Dr. Michael Steward Sr., D.MA, Ph.D., MA, Senior
Coach for Team USA, Inductee of the World Sports Medicine and
World Martial Arts Hall of Fame
"Sometimes Chinese
culture can be difficult to explain. Sifu Bill Douglas
successfully uses American culture to explain the art of T'ai
Chi Chuan. He simplifies difficult concepts, making them
easier to understand. This book takes the best parts of T'ai
Chi and makes them understandable [to Westerners] without
requiring a grounding in Chinese culture and history."
– Sifu Yijiao Hong, USA All-Tai Chi Grand Champion and USA
Team member; Certified International Coach and Judge,
International Wushu Federation
"Douglas has
achieved for QiGong what Apple did for the computer. He's
brought it to the people … great place to start for beginners.
… Teachers may also find this an excellent manual 'on how to
explain these concepts to the general public…'"
