Internal Kung Fu Saved Me From Sarcodoisis

This article will talk about internal kung fu and the health benefits it provides the practitioner.

I was 18 years old back then in 1986. This was the time I started practicing internal kung fu. I was relatively healthy at this age and when I began practicing internal kung fu, I was not aware that it could offer incredible life-saving health benefits to my body. I was simply in search of an effective form to learn because I was an avid martial arts fan.

I earnestly and diligently trained and as time went on, I began to master the aspects of training. I developed an interest in the health related benefits that come from practicing the styles, as well as from the practice of qi gong techniques. When you are young, the thought of being sick never enters your mind.

Then, in 1987, the doctor discovered I had a condition known as sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis is a chronic lung condition that affect mainly the lungs although other organs can be affected as well. I acquired the disease at work due to my exposure to various chemicals. In the search for treatment of sarcoidosis symptoms, my doctor prescribed large amounts of prednisone and other medications that can heal lung tissue and relieve inflammation. These drugs weren’t so effective and can have horrible side effects that were more difficult to treat.

While I struggled very hard dealing with the physical difficulties of my illness, because of my past internal training, my organs were still healthy and continue to function better than most people struggling with the same condition. On MRIs and x-rays, the doctors would notice the injury to my lungs and to other organs but wondered how I could pass breathing tests, and other evaluations given the state of health of my lungs.

If nothing else, my experience has proven that internal martial arts can be a powerful tool that has saved my life from a major illness all these years while others with the same sickness have all passed away. I am very sure I would have died a long time ago weren’t my practicing this ancient Chinese martial art.

Many years have already passed since I last took drugs for sarcoidosis. Currently, I am being treated by a Classical Chinese medicine practitioner who uses diet Chinese nutritional therapy and acupuncture in the treatment of my condition. I have learned how to utilize food as medicine through him, and my energy levels are very high from it.

Certain things occur in life that can lead to illness. By practicing internal kung fu, your internal organs and whole body can be strengthened in such a way that you can overcome deadly diseases such as sarcoidosis.

For me, internal kung Fu is the best form of health insurance you can ever get.
