Developed Qi beauty in 2006 (finally). After 20 years of trial and (mostly) error we have created a world's first, skin rejuvenation program. Based on acupuncture and cosmetic acupuncture principles but without needles. Using tiny gold plated, magnetic spheres, on a specific combination of facial points, to achieve incredible regeneration of the skin though the stimulation of circulation. Using the traditional Chinese medicine knowledge of Qi (chi) we are able to explain that by increasing Qi we stimulate collagen production. Crepe-like skin, normally resistant to treatment, thickens and repairs in under one month. Oooops, didn't mean to carry on, sorry. But it is a world's first and it has taken over 20 years to perfect.

Just thought...The "western" eg orthodox medical, scientific...explanation for the Qi Beauty is not as poetic as the Chinese Medicine (TCM) explanation, but some readers may want to know. The application of the specific strength magnets on the specific acupuncture points causes an amazing alteration in the lipid layer deep in the statum corneum. The magnetic field causes a change in the permeability of these tissues and hydration ensues. You must remember, skin is dead...creams, lotions and extracts topically applied (put onto the skin)

just sit on the skin. No "moisturizing", no "regeneration", no "anti-ageing", because...the skin is dead. Stone dead. It does not absorb and renew and unwrinkle. It can't 'cause it is dead! The claim that we make is that the Qi Beauty procedure stimulates hydration from within.

 

Contracted Ross River Fever sometime in late 2003 or early 2004 (not diagnosed, just thought I was a bit tired) and forced to quit practice in October 2006 after dragging myself around for 18 months and ruining my health by taking 25mg prednisone b.i.d. (Finally dragged kicking and screaming from my rooms, OK, whimpering and crawling)

 

Note to other superhuman-never get sick- "won't happen to me" -types: You can't beat everything, everytime!

 

Presently in recovery and studying when I can. Sleeping more than awake. Thinking of writing a book on useless things people tell me about Ross River Fever. Sorry, that was ungracious. Had to laugh when a bloke told me to grab hold of an electric fence...three or four times. (I didn't). Anti-biotics? Did them, got the rash to prove it. I.V.Vitamin C...wow! that hurt! Herbs, homoeopathics, acupuncture...yep!
