Generally speaking, all forms help lessen the symptoms of allergy if one sticks to them and practice them arduously. In order to speed up the healing, increase the practice duration and times of LCUPCD (enhancing the functions of the skin and the membrane lateral channels for urticaria); Stretching Chi Form and the second and third postures in Body & Mind Form can help strengthen the functions of the lungs and respiratory system (for running nose, running eyes, cough, wheezing...).

I was born with an allergic body, especially to seafood and drugs. But the allergic symptoms completely disappeared without notice no long after I started to practice Zhineng Qigong. I never refuse seafood now.

On the subject of books, in my ZNQG association we have been expressly advised *not* to read any books on qigong. We are expected to follow only what the teacher says.

My question then is: How does reading books fit into one's practice? Are we perhaps better served by not reading? (You may, of course, assume that I am receiving competetent instruction).

In fact, I didn’t mean to compete with any one by publishing Life More Abundant. I just hope the shared knowledge of Zhineng Qigong could benefit every English-speaking practitioner who longs for the authentic teachings of Prof. Pang rather than oral passing-ons from the third even forth parties.

Prof. Pang’s books are indispensable like sunshine and water to Zhineng Qigong practitioners because true students never cast away their textbooks.

I believe the teachers who were professionally trained at the Center would not give no-book-reading suggestions unless they do so on selfish purposes.

Below is what Prof. Pang wrote in his book:

Another fact is that, without the recommendations from the teachers and instructors to their students, Life more Abundant could not have ranked No.3 in Sweden and No.9 in Malaysia now on Amazon’s best-seller lists.

My momentary impulse of translating Prof. Pang’s books satisfied my own leisure-time thirst for advancement and meet the request of my club friends. It’s simply a labor of love.

The Eye Therapy includes several techniques. The simple and easy ones are explained in Life More Abundant (Page 191, 226-227), just follow the instructions and extend the time focusing on healing the eyes - practice it repeatedly.

There are also other techniques taught at the Center, such as Sun-staring Method, Rotating & Pressing Eye Therapy et al.

Yes, you can do all other sports. Inner and outer qi exchanges naturally, qigong practicing only enhance this process to keep healthy.

It would be better if you could think of your "inner self" while doing other sports. Thus the qi-dispersing would be reduced to the minimum. This higher-level mind cultivation needs long-term practicing and correct instructions.

Yes, it is all right to do anything after the practice. There is no particular contraindication before and after the practice. But better wipe the sweat away and use warm water to avoid sudden environmental change to the body.

There is no such rule. But you would have to pay attention on trying to lose less chi/energy by collecting chi within. Serious practitioners are advised to avoid frequent sexual activities in order to advance to a higher level.
