Self-Healing—The Ultimate Solution for Global Health Care Crisis

Summary:
1. This article puts forth fresh thinking and a self-healing method—
PaidaLajin to improve the health and lifestyle of humanity. It offers insight on ways to remove the roadblocks in today’s health; it also empowers any nation in the world to transform its health industry. Who will be the first ones to recognize the value of self-healing and fully utilize it? Well, this will be a test for government leaders and medical institutions.

2. Unlike mainstream medical practices that use medicine, surgeries and other external interventions, the PaidaLajin self-healing method boosts a person’s own healing energy. For an individual, it is a shift from passively receiving medical services to actively taking charge of disease prevention and healing. The responsibility for healing can then be shifted from hospitals to individuals and families.

3. The PaidaLajin self-healing method has repeatedly been proven to be effective on over 80% of the chronic diseases that modern medicines have yet to find a cure for; it can help relieve over 90% of common acute symptoms, including acute heart attacks, acute pains, and acute sports injuries (excluding those with bleeding wounds and/or bone fractures). In particular, Paida is far more effective than cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in rescuing heart attack patients.

4. The PaidaLajin self-healing method can 
radically reduce medical expenses and investment, avoid wasted resources and medical pollution, and offset the negative effects of over-diagnosis and over-treatment. Over 60% of those previously on medication enjoy better health after practicing PaidaLajin and stopping medication or reducing the dosage.

5. The PaidaLajin self-healing method can help resolve health crises and dilemmas in the world such as: health equity, soaring medical expenses, accessibility of medical resources, etc.

6. It could be “illegal” to practice natural therapies, or it could be a target of crackdown under current health laws that are influenced by western medicine. However, the PaidaLajin self-healing method, being practical and effective, has successfully transcended medical, cultural, religious and other such barriers and blazed a new trail for promoting natural therapies in the world.

7. The Internet has spurred the global spread of PaidaLajin. In just six years, it has benefited millions of people in over 50 countries and regions. They include people from all backgrounds, including those believing in science, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity. The book PaidaLajin Self-Healing has 
been translated into over a dozen languages, 
including English, German, Spanish, Hindi, 
Arabic, Indonesian, etc. In the next five years, 
it is expected that millions of people will 
practice and benefit from PaidaLajin.

Self-Healing—The Ultimate Solution

Chapter 5. Lajin Self-Healing Method

La: To stretch.

Jin: A Chinese medical term similar to tendons and ligaments.

Lajin: To stretch and to restore functions of the Jin where Jin-Suo has occurred, so as to self heal, restore health and prevent aging.

Jin-Suo: Contraction or degeneration of the functions of the Jin, which is the major contributor to aging and most disorders.

What are the diagnostic and self-healing properties of Lajin?

In addition to its therapeutic functions, Lajin can also help in diagnosis. Physical illnesses can be diagnosed from the Lajin posture and self-healed in the course of Lajin practice.  

Take the following for instance:

1. If there is knee pain and the knees cannot be straightened, these are symptoms of Jin-Suo (contraction of tendons). This indicates that the Liver Meridian (the energy channel related to liver) is blocked, because liver governs the Jin (tendons). Obstructed Liver Meridian will certainly affect the stomach and the spleen. This is because the liver (which has the properties of wood, according to Chinese Wu Xing theory) negatively impacts the spleen (which has the properties of earth).

Lajin is both an accurate "physical check-up" and precise self-healing in action.

2. If there is pain in the back of the knees, it indicates that the Urinary Bladder Meridian is blocked, and the lower back has problems, which may be caused by lumbar vertebrae and/or kidney malfunction, or both. This is because the functions of the urinary bladder and the kidney are closely related — both with the properties of water — and one organ cannot stay healthy if the other is not. Diseases caused by Urinary Bladder Meridian blockages include edema, obesity, frequent urination, diabetes, and so on.

3. During Lajin in reclining position, if the raised hands and arms cannot reach the surface of the bench, this may indicate risks of frozen shoulder, and it contributes to diseases of the heart, lung, head, five sense organs (ears, eyes, lips, nose and tongue) and breasts. 

 4. If the raised leg cannot stretch straight and the lowered leg hangs in the air without touching the ground, it suggests that the Jin-Suo (contraction of tendons) is severe, the Liver, Spleen and Kidney Meridians are blocked, and that there is lower back and knee pain, and even numerous problems with vital organs of the body. Women with these symptoms may have gynecological disorders, whereas men may have prostate problems.

Lajin or tendons stretching is a simple and effective self-healing method. It is both an accurate "physical check-up" and precise self-healing in action. When practiced correctly, it can help enhance overall health and promote longevity by cleansing vital energy channels (meridians) in the body, thus enabling smooth Qi and blood flow. This in turn improves various conditions, acute or chronic such as high blood pressure, diabetes, gynaecological and prostate disorders, dislocations as well as pains caused by Jin-Suo. 

Chapter 3. Overview of E-Tao Self-Healing Methods

“E-TAO self-healing methods” are derived from Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM) and they differ from therapies of modern Chinese medicine. For better comprehension, I’ll use plain language to explain the relationship between CCM and “E-Tao self-healing methods”, where the understanding of several specific terms is of utmost importance.

Forget the disease name.

This is the primary term we use to interpret “E-Tao self-healing methods”, and it is also one of the secrets to the success of self-healing we advocate.

Regardless of what disease one has, he/she must first forget its name. Please note that it is the name that should be forgotten, not the disease itself. A disease name is just the tip of an iceberg; there are likely other, more severe underlying diseases that even doctors and patients themselves are unaware of. 
Disease names are only labels affixed by doctors and drug producers based on known pathological indicators and statistics, yet these labels do not necessarily identify the actual diseases. A set of symptoms, or a disease with a particular name, may have different contributing causes. Dispensing prescriptions based solely on a disease name with no regard to its causes may worsen the condition.

Disease names can be very misleading. Here, I’ll use two very common ones — hypertension and diabetes — to exemplify my point.

To doctors and patients of hypertension, it is natural that anti-hypertensive drugs should be taken to control blood pressure. The relationship between blood pressure and the heart, liver, spleen and other organs are simply overlooked. As a result, the body’s internal organs are often damaged by drugs taken.

Almost all anti-hypertensive drugs are diuretics that could do damage to the functions of the kidney. This will firstly lead to lowered libido, declined sexual function, prostate disorders and a variety of urinary system disorders such as frequent or involuntary urination, etc.; Secondly, it will lead to insomnia, bone loss, Alzheimer’s disease, hair loss, tinnitus, hearing loss, and shortened lifespan; in addition, Western medicine is considered acidic from the perspective of Chinese medicine, and the acidity will destroy the tissues of blood vessel walls, causing blood vessel ruptures that could lead to stroke and heart diseases.

The cause and effect mentioned above could be hard to grasp with only knowledge of Western medicine; however, it is clearly stated in the theory of Chinese medicine that “the kidney governs the bones, its health is shown in the hair, it opens at the ears, and it controls memory, the urinary and defecating functions, and governs natural lifespan.” Hence, without intake of anti-hypertensive drugs, as long as the Kidney, Heart, Spleen and Liver Meridians (energy channels in the body that are connected to their respective organs) are cleansed, blood pressure will naturally return to normal.

In effect, there is no definitive standard for “normal” blood pressure; it relates to one’s age, physique, mood, and many other factors. It also changes from day to day, and fluctuates with one’s mood and activities. Doctors and drug producers set standards and label diseases to establish benchmarks for reference and to boost drug sales. Taking antihypertensive drugs inevitably induces more disorders, such as liver, kidney, stomach and eye problems, and even more drugs will be needed to treat those new diseases. Many hypertensive patients die after years of medication, yet it is found that their deaths are not caused by high blood pressure. In this sense, the name “hypertension” is quite misleading.

Another good example is diabetes, whose name is also misleading due to the use of blood sugar indicators. Your doctor tells you that you are diabetic and should take hypoglycemic drugs, and then tells you if your blood sugar is not under control, it will easily lead to heart problems, even glaucoma (an eye disease) in severe cases. This is the kind of knowledge taught in medical schools all along. Without knowing it, doctors are brainwashed by drug producers to act as salespersons for their drugs.

Unfortunately, this has turned the causality upside down. By practicing Paida and Lajin, we’ve learned that in all diabetics, Sha (toxic waste that comes out during Paida) will appear when the Pericardium and Heart Meridians on the inner elbows are slapped. This signals that they already have heart problems but are unaware. When these people practice Lajin, they will feel pain at the back of the knees and also the root of thighs, which indicates that the Urinary Bladder, Liver, Kidney, and Spleen Meridians are all blocked, i.e. these organs all have problems. Problems with these organs are the real cause of high blood sugar levels. Further investigation reveals that all diabetics suffer from emotional problems, to varying degrees, such as tension, anxiety, depression and other mental disorders; such emotional turmoil can lead to endocrine disorders. Let alone adults, most teenage students are stressed out before sitting a major exam, thus suffering endocrine disorders or abnormal blood sugar levels.

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. Some people find relaxation and pleasure solely in dining, and they end up eating and drinking too well, too much, burdening the endocrine system. If hypoglycemic drugs are taken without taking into account the causes, it will only further damage the functions of the heart, kidney, liver, spleen and pancreas.

As a matter of fact, doctors and patients themselves are aware of the negative effects of medication. Drug descriptions clearly state that they are damaging to the kidney, liver, spleen, heart and other internal organs. Once the internal organs are damaged, the sensory organs and limbs will also be damaged. In effect, the term “diabetes” implies that there is an underlying group of other diseases,and this phenomenon is referred to as “complex disease”. According to Chinese medicine, the liver opens at the eyes. Thus, as long as the liver is functioning normally, the eyes will be healthy as well. This has nothing to do with blood sugar levels. Taking drugs or injecting insulin will damage the liver and lead to such eye problems as glaucoma and retinal detachment. Many diabetics take medicine as prescribed and end up with internal organ and eye problems. When the condition worsens, their feet will ulcerate and they could even end up being amputated. Therefore, to cure diabetes, one must not be misled by its name, but should instead identify the actual causes. Diabetics should first be happy and self-assured, and learn to let go; and practice Paida and Lajin to cleanse the Heart, Liver, Kidney, Spleen and Urinary Bladder Meridians. When the internal organs are functioning properly, the blood sugar levels will naturally return to normal.

This is why in Classical Chinese Medicine, “regulating the heart” is the foremost, external treatment measures are used primarily, and medicine is taken as the last resort. “Forget the disease name” reminds us that there are many diseases behind one particularly labeled disease. “All diseases are complex diseases”, i.e. a complex of many diseases. Diseases indicate the blockage of many meridians, and their causes are also varied, hence, we should be cautious not to leave out any, or be misled by particular disease names or indicators; instead, we should focus on holistic health enhancement. We should try to cleanse all blocked meridians and not just one of them. Therefore, Paida and Lajin should be practiced on all parts of the body in a “carpet bombing” manner, so as to activate our internal “anti -virus software”, i.e. self-healing power, to clear away all diseases in the body.

In view of this, everyone should learn up some common sense knowledge of Chinese medicine. For instance, tinnitus, deafness, hair loss, backache, leg pain, declined sexual function, etc. are all associated with the kidney; failing vision, floaters, cataracts, Jin-Suo (contraction of tendons), etc. signal problems with the liver; in the same manner of deduction, if one gets too fat or too thin, the problem is related to the spleen which governs our muscles.

Complex diseases

This term relates to “forget-the-disease-name” concept. People seldom have only a single disease; there are always a number of other diseases behind a known one. Moreover, these diseases are interrelated; they are the causes and effects of other diseases, and are thus called “complex diseases”. In effect, all diseases are complex diseases.

All diseases with known names are so labelled according to identification and classification of modern medicine based on known standards, using known measures. However, no matter how accurate the diagnosis of Chinese medicine, Western medicine or medical appliances is, there are still realms of the complex human body where their diagnosis and treatments are yet to cover holistically. Thus, the key to curing a disease is not in knowing the name, but rather in locating the root causes. 

“Complex diseases” imply that there are still many unseen, undetected or undetectable pathological changes. That is to say, behind a known illness, there could be many more known and unknown ones, and the best way to tackle it is to have a thorough search, diagnosis and treatment in a manner similar to “carpet bombing” in military operations. This will trigger the body’s internal “precision bombing” to cleanse the meridians, similar to when an “anti-virus software” (i.e. the body’s self-healing power) is activated. Thus, “carpet bombing” and “precision bombing” work hand in hand to holistically cleanse meridians and expel toxic waste.

Out of the numerous practices of Chinese medicine, I have specially chosen Paida and Lajin to promote worldwide not only because they are simple to practice and produce quick effects, but also because they are universally applicable, i.e. when one practices Paida and Lajin, almost all “complex diseases” are targeted and treated. This is because from diagnosis to treatment, Paida and Lajin act holistically and not partially. People may find it quite a challenge to directly and accurately locate meridians and acupoints — that is why many tend to give up on self-healing. Paida and Lajin may appear simple, yet they are more effective on complex diseases compared to mainstream medical practices. Many diseases that doctors find hard to treat are cured by ordinary folks using these two unbelievably simple methods. Treating complex diseases with simple methods is as people always put it, “The truest way (Tao) is the simplest.” This is indeed an accurate and concrete interpretation of the “way (Tao)”.

On top of that, through self-diagnosis and treatment of complex diseases, people will gain fresh insights into health and life. They will naturally go on to explore the lasting truths of Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM), hence changing their lives through health improvement. They will move from physical healing to spiritual healing, and from health management to life management. Persistent Paida and Lajin makes people healthier, more joyous and at ease.

Unfortunately, some only pay attention to their health when they are seriously ill. They are very concerned with maintenance and care of their cars and pets, but do not care much about preservation of their own health. They are only interested in “overhauls” or treatment of critical illnesses. Maybe this is the so-called “fate”.

“Carpet bombing” and “anti-virus software”

Huang Di Nei Jing states that all diseases are caused by blocked meridians, thus cleansing meridians cures diseases.

However, when one gets sick, the primary concern could be to find out exactly which meridians are blocked. Here, I will let you in on a big secret: There are 12 standard meridians in the body, and together with the Ren and Du Meridians along the middle of the front and back torso, these 14 meridians, when blocked, become the root causes of all diseases. That is to say, from minute inflammations of mosquito bites to tumor growth, whether insomnia or constipation, all diseases occur due to one, often several, of these 14 meridians being blocked. Therefore, no matter what diseases one suffers from, cleansing these 14 meridians will invariably cure all of them. The four general parts (elbows, hands, knees and feet) are specially chosen for Paida to clear the 14 said meridians.

“Carpet bombing” is originally a military term, which means thorough bombing of each and every inch of land. Using Paida and Lajin in a “carpet bombing” manner cleanses the body’s 14 meridians from all directions. This eliminates all known and unknown diseases holistically, instead of treating them according to divisions of medicine. Paida and Lajin act as both diagnosis and treatment of diseases: Sha (toxic waste) appearing during Paida indicates that meridians corresponding to the slapped areas are blocked, and the appearance of Sha means detoxification has begun; in Lajin, the pain felt during stretching indicates body parts where Jin-Suo occurs, and restoring flexibility of the Jin through further stretching will cure the diseases.

To enable people of the modern age familiar with computers to grasp the concept of “self-healing power”, I’ll use the term “anti-virus software”. Our body has an innate “anti-virus software” as part of our self-healing power, and its wisdom, sensitivity and sophistication go beyond human comprehension and imagination. It runs in the body’s meridians in the form of invisible “Qi (vital life energy)”. Once this “anti-virus software” is activated through Paida and/or Lajin, it will start to scan the entire body. When Qi finds a blockage or a problem area, it will lock-in the target and clear it, diseases or pain are thus alleviated or thoroughly cured. This process is as if launching missiles in “precision bombing” and the “anti-virus software” is the devise that sets off this process.

The number of meridians cleansed through Paida and Lajin is not one but many; the effect is not only localized but in all known and unknown systems of the body. The activated Qi and blood flow will act as the “anti-virus software”; not only does it locate the “viruses”, it automatically stimulates the body to produce antibodies against them. More specifically, this refers to the automatic endocrine secretions of insulin, stem cells, enkephalin, adrenaline, etc., needed to fight different diseases. Practicing Paida and Lajin is like an all-round mobilization of software and hardware systems in the entire body, and that is why it is described as “carpet bombing” and “complete virus removal”.



Of all Lajin positions, stretching in “reclining position” (see picture above) delivers the most thorough effects: all the meridians are being cleared, though at varying degrees .



Paida works by radiating out from specific points: Paida the hands and elbows cleanses the six meridians along the arms and hands; Paida both knees and feet cleanses the six meridians along the legs and feet; the Ren and Du Meridians are also cleansed at relevant joints. Hands are holographic reflex zones of all the organs in the body ; hence, when the hands are used for Paida, they are being slapped as well. This creates a new round of “carpet bombing”. 

How to Heal Yourself (or Anyone Else)

and Discover Health, Wealth, and Happiness, Harmony Relationships,

Here are two ho'oponopono proven ways to heal yourself (or anyone else) of anything you notice. Remember that what you see in another is also in you, so all the healing is self-healing. Work on yourself , not trying to correct others.  No one else has to do these processes but you.

First, this is the prayer Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona, Ho'oponopono Master Teacher, creator of Self I-Dentity Ho'oponopono, said to help heal hundreds if not thousands of people, without meeting them face to face. It is simple but powerful :

Divine creator, father, mother, son as one . . . If I, my family, relatives, and ancestors have offended you, your family, relatives, and ancestors in thoughts, words, deeds, and actions from the beginning of our creation to the present , we ask your forgiveness . . . Let this cleanse, purify, release, cut all the negative memories, blocks, energies, and vibrations, and transmute these unwanted energies to pure light . . . And it is done. 

Second, the way Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len likes to heal is to first say " I am sorry" and "Please forgive me."  You say this to acknowledge that something -- without you knowing what it is -- has gotten into your body /mind system. You have no idea how it got there. You don't need to know. If you are overweight, you simply caught the program that is making you that way. By saying "I am sorry" you are telling the Divine that you want forgiveness inside yourself for whatever brought it to you. You are not asking the Divine to forgive you  ; you are asking the Divine to help you forgive yourself . 

From there , you say "Thank you" and "I love you." 
When you say "Thank you," you are expressing gratitude. You are showing  your faith that the issue will be resolved for the higher good of all concerned.
The beautiful phase "I love you" transmutes the energy from stuck to flowing. It reconnects you to the Divine. Since the zero state is one of pure love and has zero limits, you are beginning to get to that state  by expressing love.

What happens next is up to the Divine . You may be inspired to  take action of some sort. Whatever it is , do it. If you are not sure about the action to take, use this same healing method (say " I love you", I am sorry" , "Please forgive me" , "I thank you") on your confusion.  When you are clear, you'll know what to do.

Just keep cleaning continuously, non-stop.
This is a simplified version of the modernized ho'oponopono key method of healing and self-healing and problems solving.
