China-U S Wu-Dang Qi-Gong

I had an amazing and awe inspiring experience getting a healing with Master Zhou at his current El Monte location.
It is true that the young lady working the front desk and taking your $ lacks much warmth, but she was not rude or anything. I think she is a patient who is probably working there to learn or to pay for her healing sessions as she appears to be the woman with cancer in her face from a video I saw on youtube of Master Zhou. So, take it easy people, you never know who you are dealing with or what they are going through.
Master Zhou does not speak much English, but he was very nice and has such wonderful energy. Just looking at him, I wanted to give him a hug.
The healing consisted of me first being asked what my issues are, and having them translated to Master Zhou by the young lady. I was then told to lay on the massage table, where he had laid fresh paper, and he began a very aggressive and rough massage of the entire back of my body. It was very vigorous for sure, but not painful. Then I was asked to turn over and it proceeded on the other side. Then after the massage I heard Master Zhou go to the sink and run water, then I heard foil and paper towels, and knew from watching youtube videos and that show SuperHumans on Netflix that the BIG HEAT was coming next !!!
First he did my back. I knew it would be hot, but holy crap I had no idea how hot. I had been told to say HOT when it got too hot. So I did, and when I said «hot» he moved his foil/​wet paper towel pad thingy to the next spot. He would move it, flick his hands and launch heat like the fire from a dragon’s belly into my skin. HOT HOT!!! I would yell and move on to singe the next area LOL. It was super intense. Believe me I was thinking that this better resolve my issues or I will never, ever come back, that heat was so intense.
Then I was told to turn over and this is when it got crazy because I could finally SEE what he was doing. I had read about people postulating about how it was he generated that heat and how people suggested he was using some chemical to generate the heat. Well, after seeing it yourself you will know that is impossible. You see, he puts that foil/​paper pad on you and you feel just a little moist warmth. Then he flicks his palm at the area and WHAM! the heat arrives with intensity. I yelled HOT and he moved on. The pad was just warm, and the heat did not arrive until he flicked his palm again. So there is NO WAY it was just the pad generating the heat because it would then be consistently hot, and it would be decreasing in heat as the session went on. It was very clear to me that Master Zhou is the real deal after watching him and feeling the heat arrive after he made those flicking gestures with his hands. I also felt heat in my own palms even though he had not done any work on my palms.
But none of the above prepared me for the results of his incredible healing work. It appears that both of the issues I described at the beginning of the session are GONE. I had an issue for which I took medicine daily. I no longer need the medicine. My food allergies have also gone. I can’t believe it. I just ate several items that normally I would not have been able to. How amazing this is, is just starting to set in. I am also feeling more energetic, and am wide awake and feeling great as soon as I wake up. My meditations are also more powerful, and it seems like I can work out longer without tiring. I am super shocked and amazed and SOOOOOO GRATEFUL. Thank you Master Zhou, you are a blessing and a true master!!!

Unfortunately, I must agree with the previous (2012) reviewer. I think that Master Zhou may indeed be a formidable QiGong practitioner, teacher and healer, but any true healer must possess 2 qualities to be able to heal someone:
1) the ability to isolate the source of whatever illnesses need healing, and
2) the ability to truly, tangibly heal it, with a difference that can be clearly felt by the patient
Quoting Master Zhou’s website, it says:
«He specializes in diagnosing and treating „undiagnosable“ or mystery illnesses, and is known as ‘The Healer’s Healer.’»
and
«Master Zhou’s Medical Qi Gong therapy can effectively treat any type of disease or imbalance, including those which are chronic or formidable»
I drove all the way to El Monte from Ventura County to see if he could, indeed, diagnose & effectively treat 2 serious illnesses I have, that have been deemed mysterious & undiagnosable by many other doctors.
I experienced no relief from either problem, from his treatment, but more importantly, communicating questions through his female translator, I got no sense that he had any idea what my problems were or what was the core source of them. He just said, «Your liver & kidney are a little weak, and you are tired.» That’s it. No details, no description of how a slightly weak liver or kidney were connected to the considerable symptoms I experience, no «I know just what’s happening and can heal it in one or more sessions,» just some non-​communicative massage and Qi heat treatments in a general way across my body, then off you go, not even a «Thanks for coming.»
Without going into detail, the symptoms I suffer are formidable, life-​destroying and the kind that make most patients or doctors suspect a serious disease. If this man truly is a medical intuitive who can spot core conditions in the body-​mind, he would have had a lot more to say than just «Your liver & kidney are a little weak, and you are tired.»
I just didn’t see any evidence of the intuitive & healing powers this master is supposed to have. Just a nice light massage, and no communication, for $ 140. If he works for you, bless you! Needless to say, he’s not for me.

Master Zhou doesn’t speak much English & his female associate is NOT very warm & her social etiquette is not that good. She has a very thick accent, so it’s hard to understand her. I felt like a number going thru a revolving door. They don’t do the best job answering questions. They put oils on your body without asking permission or telling you what it is besides «chinese medicine». There is no real question/​answer about your medical issues, allergies or paperwork to be filled out. They just ask where the pain is & don’t seem too interested in your history. They may listen to you, but they don’t seem to be empathetic.
I think Master Zhou may use chemistry to do the reaction with the foil. You can hear it sizzle as it heats up! The small roll that he does after is already warm when he puts it on you, but not as hot as the foil. So I think he wets it & lets it cool down a little & then uses it after the foil patting session. I’m not sure why he rolls the warm thing on you after he does the stuff with the foil & paper towel. The foil gets so hot that it almost burns the skin.
I researched online & it seems consistent with an «exothermic» type reaction. Maybe he’s using iron, salt & water similar to the Thermacare heat pads. There is no chemical smell.
My skin was red in some places after the session, but luckily left no lasting marks. The treatment is very physical. There’s some patting of the skin & deep jiggling of some body parts & massage on the belly area & almost a pinching sensation of the shoulders. I told him a few times that the foil was «too hot». All he did was a slight chuckle & repeated «hot» & blow air out of his mouth, which did NOT help it cool down!
If he really is a qigong master he should be able to control the temperature of his heat & send less energy & since he was NOT able to do that, I’m guessing that there must be some chemical reaction involved with the foil. I was disappointed & had a bit of anxiety after the session. I did NOT find it relaxing or therapeutic at all!
He isn’t doing much energy work during your session, most of it is too physical & I didn’t care for it.
I do know he has potential to do energy work, as I could sense some of it, but I was too distracted by the vigorous «massage», pain on my skin from the hot foil packs & the skin sensitivity in general.
He seems like a nice enough person, but I’m not happy with the experience of that «healing session» & doubt I’ll ever try it again. I may try his Qi-​gong or tai chi class, but I’m a little hesitant now after that & not being able to communicate with him in English.
