Xiao Hongchi : Why Paida & Lajin Works. (Diabetes)

His slaps have cured several medical conditions ranging from diabetes to hypertension.

 “The slapping and stretching work together to clear the meridians of blocks and help the body get rid of the disease,” he explained. Slapping the body, he said, “builds heat, causing blood vessels to expand, and ‘chi’ to flow strongly. Yang rises, yin melts and long-held toxins and blocks are released.”

Calling western medicine “concentrated pollution” and “poison”, Hongchi says that he is able to diagnose people’s illnesses by simply stretching their legs. Women suffer from breast cancer due to unhappy marriages. “If they are dearly loved and if the answer is yes then you will never have this kind of problems,” he said. “The tumor in the womb or the breast, you would never have that normally. It’s always from your heart you get confused you get frustrated you get troubled.”

 “I have treated 250 men with prostate problems, every single one of them has had great success,” he said in a demonstrative video. “How to judge them? Normally they get up at night at least four times – after doing this they get up one time.”

Only two years after he began to study Chinese medicine, at age 44, Hongchi wrote a best-selling book about self-healing through slapping. 
Australian man Ben James, who believes paida lajin,James regularly practices stretching and slapping himself, and says that it “instantly relieved” his back pain. But he admitted that he does not fully understand the science behind it. “It is tough. It’s not for everyone,” he said. “It basically starts the circulation. If you already have some medical issue or condition, you should take it to a doctor and get professional advice. I would say it’s more like a yoga teacher who shows you the positions, and you go home and do it at home.”

What does the process involve?

Paida involves patting ("pai" in Chinese) and slapping ("da") one's skin while lajin involves assuming various postures to stretch one's muscles.

Mr Xiao's book on paida lajin is sold in bookshops in Asia and has sparked copycats. His followers swear paida lajin works, and have continued to practise it. Mr Xiao has even inspired copycats, with other authors writing books with titles like Patting and Slapping to Good Health.

Participants vigorously slap various parts of their body, particularly joint areas and the head, until their skin turns red or starts looking bruised, as this video of a 2012 workshop in Malaysia led by Mr Xiao shows.
Some can go on to do stretches while lying down on tables or on the floor, against walls, or against doorframes.
Paida and lajin are linked to a concept in traditional Chinese medicine known as "sha", the belief that blood can be "poisoned" by toxins and needs to be expelled.
Practitioners believe paida and lajin improve blood circulation and draw out "sha".

Mr Xiao claims that when "sha" appears, it is an indication of "latent diseases".

How popular is it?
The concept of "sha" is a widely-held belief in Chinese culture, and paida lajin has attracted a significant following in Chinese communities around Asia.
It is not uncommon for Mr Xiao's clinics to be sold out and attended by hundreds. A ticket can cost hundreds of pounds.
He first shot to fame when he published a book in 2009 entitled The World of Medicine: The Paida Lajin Self-Healing Method.
He has gone on Taiwanese talkshows to promote paida lajin, and has conducted workshops in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore.

In recent years he has gone further afield to India, the US, Germany and Australia to hold clinics.
"Do not panic seeing colourful patches of sha, lumps and swelling at the slapped areas. These are good healing reactions," his site states.

His site also carries testimonials from parents claiming they had slapped their children - including infants - and healed them of fevers, bronchitis and stomach flu.


PaidaLajin Self-Healing by [Xiao, Hongchi]

PaidaLajin Self-Healing Kindle Edition
by Hongchi Xiao (Author), Ellen Zhang (Translator)

This is the second edition of PaidaLajin Self-Healing. The first edition, published in 2013, contained the basic theory, concepts, and testimonials. This edition is based on rich experience from hundreds of PaidaLajin self-healing seminars and workshops worldwide, clinical research statistics by medical institutions, and thousands of testimonials from self-healers in more than 60 countries since we started promoting PaidaLajin in 2009. It also includes FAQs and recommended PaidaLajin regimes for specific health problems, acute or chronic. It is therefore much more comprehensive, and "reader-friendly". 

PaidaLajin Self-Healing, authored by Hongchi Xiao, introduces you two “green” self-healing exercises—Paida (patting and slapping body areas) and Lajin (stretching tendons) that can help you relieve or even self-heal pains and diseases without the worry of side effects. It also reveals some of the simplest truths about the human body and how diseases originate. 

According to Chinese medicine, all diseases are caused by blocked meridians (energy channels in the body). Hence, disease prevention and healing can be as simple as clearing meridians and expelling toxins and waste in the body. Paida and Lajin are the most direct methods in this regard, which explains their miraculous effects in dispelling various pains and diseases, as has been repeatedly proven by self-healers around the world. 

By activating the body’s innate self-healing power, PaidaLajin helps improve health naturally and holistically. These seemingly simplest methods, when genuinely practiced, promise to reward you with much more than better physical health. 

Important concepts of PaidaLajin self-healing:
Ignore the disease name 
Regardless of what disease one has, he/she must first ignore its name. Please note that it is the name that should be ignored, not the disease itself. Diseases are named mostly according to one of the symptoms, and therefore a disease name is only one of the many symptoms, or just the tip of an iceberg; there are likely other, more severe underlying diseases that even doctors or patients themselves are unaware of. 

Complex diseases 
“All diseases are complex diseases”, i.e. a complex of many diseases.

Carpet bombing 
Using PaidaLajin in a “carpet bombing” manner cleanses the body’s 14 meridians (energy channels) from all directions. This eliminates all known and unknown diseases holistically, instead of treating them according to divisions of medicine. 

Anti-virus software 
When practicing PaidaLajin, we are actually activating the “anti-virus software” in our body, i.e. the self-healing power. Once activated, it scans the entire body to clear all blocked meridians. That is why one feels hot, cold, sore, numb, itchy, painful, swelling sensations, etc. during the process.

“Pain medicine” 
Nobody likes pain, but it is actually a gift from the Creator. Firstly, it serves as a protection in human life from all kinds of dangers; secondly, it is an accurate diagnosis, since the pain means blockage, or dis-ease; thirdly, it is accurate healing because pain will cause biochemical changes and generate all necessary hormones needed by human body, and hence it is a super-medicine. Like diseases. The “pain” here refers to the sensation felt during PaidaLajin. Some may refuse to do PaidaLajin because of the pain. Actually, it is precisely the reason that PaidaLajin should be practiced. 


Please note:
PaidaLajin (slapping and stretching) are physical exercises—they are not meant for medical treatment.

“In each of my books and seminars, I have emphasized that I am not a doctor,” Xiao said in the message. What he called a "strictly controlled" Indian study of 25 people that recommended paida-lajin for diabetes while referring to "healing crises". 

"[Type 1 diabetes patients] recorded improvements in their clinical condition," the report said. 

"However, during the Healing crisis and fasting when their blood sugars went up [they] needed medical support in the form of calories, fluids and rapid action insulin to prevent ketoacidosis." 

Ketoacidosis is a medical emergency caused by a lack of insulin, according to Diabetes Australia. 

In his book, “Paida and Lajin Self-Healing,” Xiao wrote that doctors are “brainwashed” by drug producers to act as salesmen for their drugs. Therefore, a doctor instructs diabetic patients to take hypoglycemic drugs, telling them that if their blood sugar is not under control, it will easily lead to a number of heart problems.

Xiao writes:

“In short, diabetes is caused by endocrine disorders, which is related to the heart, i.e. a condition due to emotional problems. Some people are overly obsessed with money, power, social status or their children, and these obsessions make them tense and anxious all the time. Naturally, the endocrine system will not function properly.

Xiao writes in a footnote in his book that these are not medical treatments. But, he writes, to “cure” diabetes one must “not be misled by its name,” he says.

“Diabetics should first be happy and self-assured, and learn to let go” and practice his “paida lajin” techniques to cleanse the internal organs, he said. If diabetics slap themselves in the inner elbows, bruising — considered manifestations of a toxic waste called “sha” — will appear.


“You have to be hard a little bit, cruel a little bit,” Xiao said in a video posted last year. “But not too much.”

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, in a 2014 radio interview with Australian broadcaster ABC he insisted he was not a "master". 


"I'm not a doctor, I'm not a healer. I just teach you a way. You learn and do it yourself," he said.

According to his website, it would be commensurate with his general policy towards patients with type 1 diabetes:


“For instance, diabetic patients attending our PaidaLajin workshops[…]voluntarily stop medication and insulin injections, and each day they drink ginger and date soup with brown sugar in it. Generally speaking, their blood pressure and blood sugar levels may go up in the first two days; but after the 3rd day of the workshop, these levels will gradually return to normal.”

At seminar in South Africa, where he said “the greater the pain and bruises while slapping means there is more poison inside the body. You can be your own doctor. We were all born with self-healing power but we simply ignore it and spend millions of dollars paying for medications.” 

More incredible men and women who have dedicated their lives to pursuing the most valuable thing of all: experience. Most valuable is time, spend it to gain the experience of truth. 

From our Trailblazers at the head of their game, to Legacy Makers striving to make their own mark, Artisans who love honing their skills, and Collectives who work closely together to have great experiences, they all dazzle others with their commitment and passion. But they don’t do it for adulation or financial gain. They know that all there is to life is a series of moments, and that each of those moments should be lived to the full. They know that experience is the best currency.

The social explorer who wants you to get involved

“I think there’s an explorer in everyone — we just all have to find our own Everest,” says Belinda Kirk, the exploration pioneer with an extraordinary list of personal achievements. She’s walked across Nicaragua, searched for camels in a desert in China, and was part of the first female crew to row non-stop around Britain.

But for Belinda, the important thing is not doing something dazzling, but encouraging others to try anything that connects them to nature and adventure — something her projects, Explorers Connect and Wild Night Out, have made their mission. “When I set up Explorers Connect in 2009, it was a hub to connect people who wanted to go on expeditions,” she says. “But I noticed people kept asking for smaller adventures in between the big stuff. I realised that by trying little adventures, you can start something.”


After running expeditions for people with disabilities, Belinda devised Wild Night Out — a national day to get people taking an outdoor challenge. “It’s about doing something you might not get round to otherwise,” she adds.
