The conference last weekend
brought up some shocking facts.
Did you know that the USA is
ranked # 50 in life expectancy?
Obesity and being Overweight
causes a multitude of serious illnesses
and close to 75% of Americans
are just too fat.
I was talking to a patient and
she was telling me that her weight
gain as well as her daughter’s all
had to do with their hormones
and nothing else.
Hormones are chemical
messengers in the body. They are
released into the blood stream in one
place, and travel to another place in
the body and provide information.
We have around 600 hormones in
our bodies. They are receiving sites and
receptor sites communicators between each other.
They are the lock and the hormone is the key.
A healthy person has 20,000 receptor sites
for the hormones to communicate too.
But most have less than 5,000 receptors.
That’s like having the key broken
in the lock.
Some of the factors that cause
the break down in communications
are in our foods, exercise and
life styles.
Things like:
-Excess hormones in animal products
- Taking birth control pills
-Pesticides sprayed on our vegetables
-Bug sprays
-Weed killers like round up/agent orange
-Plant fungus killers
-Being a couch potato or doing the wrong
exercise.
-Poor sleeping habits
-Eating the wrong foods
The animals eat the plants and their
hormones get jacked up and when
you eat them it’s passed on to you.
There is a large connection between
hormones and chronic illness.
One of the keys is in the foods we eat
and the quality of that food.
According to Merrian-Webster Dictionary,
Food is material taken into an organism and
used for growth, repair and vital processes.
It is nourishment in solid form which is
something that nourishes and sustains.
The most important organ linked to
hormone communications and fat
burning is your LIVER.
If your liver is malfunctioning, it is
IMPOSSIBLE to lose weight.
Here are some liver issues
that you could have.
Even if your blood test comes back
normal, you could still have a liver
that’s not functioning even
with a normal blood test.
-Right shoulder pain
-Morning pain in your fingers
-Hard to get up in the morning / feeling grouchy
-Always craving fatty foods
-Joint problems
-Skin problems
-Yellowing of your eyes
-Sensations of fullness on the right side
What can you do to improve
the function of your liver?
-Read labels they put things in our food
that you would never eat if you were aware
of the hidden poisons
-If it comes in a box or a can don’t eat it
-Take all artificial sweeteners out of your diet
they will make you retain water and inhibit
both the function of your liver and the brain
-If the label doesn’t say “Non GMO’s” then don’t eat it
-Eat only grass feed meat and don’t over cook it
-Get a good night sleep
-Eat 50% of your food raw
-Exercise daily both internal and external
-Get natural treatments to help repair your liver
-Eat clean foods, organic locally grown
We don’t realize that things like steroids,
cortisone, growth hormones, hormone
replacement therapy, bio-identical
hormones, birth control pills and
HCG all cause the liver to function poorly.
We were brought up to believe that the government,
the Food and Drug Administration and the Medical
community were protecting us,our food and our
medicine.
Well wake up!
If you are not taking responsibility for your
own health your in for a big shock.
The reason I teach, train and practice
daily is to give you and me tools to stay
healthy.
Join me in staying fit mentally, physically and spiritually

Back in 1978 I was living in the mountains with my family. My friend Bob came to visit from Michigan on his way to Arizona. I’ve known Bob since I was 12 years old.
His family they lived just a few houses away from us.
Although I haven’t seen him in years, he heard that we moved to Telluride and showed up one afternoon at our door.
Bob went to school with me at the College for Creative Studies (CCS) and at that time it was called “The Center for Creative Arts” in downtown Detroit.
Somewhere along the way he picked up the skill of making pies and that night he made a few pies for our family and passed down his pie making secrets to me.
That spring the rhubarb came up in the high country and I decided to make a few delicious rhubarb pies. I picked a whole bunch of fresh organic rhubarb and brought it into the house and began my pie making magic. I started with a homemade organic lattice crust. You know, that crisscross kind?
It was just beautiful and it was filled with rhubarb and fresh strawberries. I put them in the oven and when they were ready I placed them on the table to cool.
I went into town to do a few things. When I came back both pies were gone, I asked my wife what happened to the two pies?
She said, “I had friends drop in unexpectedly and I served the pies.”
Me, “Both of them?”
She said, “Yep! They are gone and we really enjoyed them. Thanks.”
I asked her if she saved me a piece as those were the first rhubarb pies that I ever made and she said,” No there all gone.”
At first I was disturbed and in disbelief that they didn’t even save me a small piece.
It took me a few hours to make them and they were all gone!
But as we all know for every action there is a reaction.
The next day I was at the post office and one of the guys who came over to visit my wife and have a piece of pie, came up to me and was really pissed off.
He said after eating the pies he had stomach cramps and diarrhea all night.
I heard that from more than one of her guests.
Apparently, I got some of the leaves of the rhubarb into the pie and the leaf will give you the runs for sure– it’s considered a mild poison.
Although I never got to taste my first rhubarb pie it sure made me put a smile on my face.
In life there is always a reaction to everything we do.
The reason I train, meditate and eat a healthy diet is; I am creating a reaction in my body, mind and spirit. The reaction I am shooting for is openness, clarity, flexibility, awareness and optimal health.
We can all achieve these qualities but it comes with work and training It takes two wings to fly. One is the practice and the other wing is the training or education, to achieve your goals you need both. If you just have one wing you flop around on the ground and never get anywhere. But if you get the proper training and practice you will soar to new heights.
The purpose of the Qi Gong Inner Circle www.qigonginnercircle.com is to train serious students.
If you’re just starting to train and practice this isn’t for you right now.
Get the Recharging Qi Gong www.Rechargingqigong.com program and Turn Stress into Power www.Turnstressintopower.com and practice for 6 months first.
These programs will give you the foundation you will need to become part of the Qi Gong Inner Circle www.Qigonginnercircleqigong

It’s warming up in South Florida
and the snow birds are flying home.
It’s Spring, and a bunch of holidays have
just passed to celebrate the coming of new life.
Spring is in the air!
As the seasons change, it’s time
to pay close attention to your diet.
When the temperature increases, we
will all need a lot more liquids to keep us hydrated.
I drink a lot more water; it’s time to
eat more fruits like plums, pears, and watermelon.
Also soups are one of my favorite
in both the summer and winter.
My friend Jerry Gruber is a fabulous chief
and gave me this recipe for a killer gazpacho soup.
What really makes it so good is the fresh flavor
of all the crisp vegetables.
Cold Gazpacho can be one of summer’s enjoyments.
Gazpacho soup originated from Spain.
It’s traditionally made with ripe tomatoes,
bell peppers, cucumbers, garlic, that is blended
with olive oil, vinegar, vegetable juices and served cold.
Here is Jer’s recipe:
Ingredients:
3 bell peppers (the more color the better)
3 peeled tomatoes
3 cucumbers
2 purple onions
(Seed everything) you don’t want to
get seeds stuck in your teeth.
Dice all veggies (fine).
Take all scraps and put in a blender.
Add enough red wine vinegar to cover
and then add ¼ to ½ cloves of garlic.
Add a pinch of ground caraway seeds and blend in a big pot.
Add ½ large can of V8 32oz can
(I found an organic one at whole foods.
If you can go all organic, it would be the best)
1 Large can of tomato soup –organic
1 can of tomato juice – organic
Add the stuff you strained and then add oil
Add 2 tsp of light weight olive oil and mix gently
Salt, spike (a natural seasoning)
White pepper
Some hot sauce to taste
A splash of Tamari sauce or Braggs amino acid
A little bit of lemon to kick up taste
Chill and add a dab of yogurt just before serving
P.S
It’s also a great time to do a detox program!
Detox-Kit liquid drops combine three homeopathic
remedies to relieve symptoms of illness caused by an
unhealthy lifestyle and/or exposure to environmental toxins.
*Lymphomyosot stimulates the lymphatic system
*Nux vomica-Homaccord stimulates the
gastrointestinal pathway and liver function
*Berberis-Hommacord stimulates the
kidney and gallbladder systems.
Homeopathic remedies are very safe and effective
and can be a great way to detoxify the body,
especially the liver and kidneys. For the colon,
however, nothing comes close to effectiveness of
a high quality fiber supplement that gets in
there and literally scrubs things clean.
Special herbs are also
needed to remove intestinal parasites.
contains a combination of homeopathic remedies
and many traditional Homeopaths believe that the
homeopathic remedies should be given in single
doses and the perfect remedy needs to be
determined for each individual.
I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth, and Happiness,
Last week it was in the thirties in Florida and that’s really cold for
South Florida. I was talking to a friend who is in Michigan and he
said.
“It’s colder than a witches tit”.
That sounds really cold.
I looked the expression up. Here is what I found.
“The simple explanation is that “colder than a witch’s tit” is just a vivid metaphor, like “hotter than the hinges of hell.” Since a witch is in league with Satan, presumably she has no maternal feelings. Thus the medium by which she would suckle a child is, well, cold as a witch’s tit.
But there’s some history behind this wisecrack. A witch’s tit (or witch’s teat, to use the older spelling) supposedly left a marking that witch hunters and courts would look for on the body of an accused person. Supposedly, witches would suckle their familiars, and sometimes the Devil himself, from this “unholy” body part. To find these marks, as well as insensitive spots on the skin called devil’s marks–caused by the Devil’s claws or teeth–the suspects were stripped, shaven, then closely examined for any blemishes, moles, or even scars that could be labeled as diabolical. To find marks invisible to the eye, the examiner would poke the victim inch by inch with a blunt needle (called a bodkin) until they found a spot that didn’t feel pain or bled. Discovery of these marks or spots–one supposes they would be considered cold since they were a sign of communion with the Devil–would be “proof” of the person’s dealings with Scratch, so they would be shown in full court before the execution”.
Cold weather can cause problems with your health if you are not prepared,
especially the Kidneys and that can lead to back pain, stiffness and host
unwanted symptoms.
Although I now live in the Sun Belt, I was brought up in the northern
part of the USA and lived in the mountains of Colorado for years.
Winter is the season that you need to protect your kidneys.
In China the winters were long and cold, so they developed a system to
build energy, tonify the body and to nourish the internal organs to stay
healthy and strong. Qigong, diet and tonics play a major
part in nourishing the bodies immune system.
This is one of my favorites to keep your body warm and give you a
tremendous amount of energy on those cold days.
Dr. Wu’s tonifying Lamb Stew

As for the best internal exercises, I focus on the grounding and
rooting practices and of course the kidney exercises.
Go through the Recharging Qi Gong book you’ll find plenty
of them to build your Qi and keep you warm all winter.
It’s extremely important to keep your low back warm during the
winter months.
The new program on Back Pain is a must if you have back problems. This works!
Melody Barnes, director of the White House
Domestic Policy Council states,
“Health care costs are exploding.
Many people are bringing in less income
every month and seeing their premiums go
up at the same time.
It’s affecting the bottom line and businesses.
It’s also affecting the fiscal well-being of
our country.”
We all want a good health care system that’s
affordable and as long as I can remember
our government has been trying to come up
with a solution with not much luck.
Some of us want it to be up to the individual,
while others think it’s a government problem.
Our health care system has many aspects to it
that we aren’t looking at and for the most
part don’t want to.
To tell you the truth they are looking
for a solution that will never happen.
In the west we are trying to kill the
disease no matter what it is,a common
cold, the flu, or cancer.
Kill! Kill! kill!
It will never work in a 100,000 years.
We will never be able to fix a system
that is built on the wrong premise.
Our government,the drug companies
and the large corporations are in
business to make money and that’s
what they are doing….
They are not educating us about health.
they are hiding as much as they can.
I believe when they say they want to
cure a disease like cancer they are
speaking metaphorically.
In Spanish there is an expression
(Con de los dientes para fuerat)
‘they speak from the teeth out.’
We all have heard the saying that
food is our medicine. We eat every
day, at least most of us do.
In the United States McDonald’s,
Burger King, Jack in the Box,
Wendy’s Taco Bell, and all those
chicken places are not there for
your health.
They serve cheap unhealthy food that
people are eating on a daily basis.
Food is medicine and if you’re eating
unhealthy, sooner or later you are going
to be unhealthy. You either have to pay
more by only buying organic food, taking
soda,meat and most restaurants out of your
life or you have to pay with sickness and
an early death.
People ask me all the time,
‘isn’t our government protecting us
from unhealthy food?’ Hell No!
We now have heavily poisoned chemicals
on most food grown in the USA and even
worse in other countries.
Our food is being genetically engineered.
GEO for short this is an organism whose
genetic material has been altered using
genetic engineering techniques affecting
the DNA of the food.
At this time we have no idea what this
will do to our health.
For the most part this is banned in
Europe and the rest of the world.
If you want to have good health care it is
up to you.
You have to take responsibility for your
own health.
Eat a healthy diet; drink a lot of clean
water,exercise every day and educate
yourself.
Think about your health not about
your belly
-if you think about your cravings like
pies,chocolate brownies,cake,fried foods,
hamburgers and fried chicken
you’re going to end up with some form of
disease and then complain about the poor
health care you are getting or they are
not giving you.
Grow a garden, eat food that grow in your
area, eat organic as much as possible, stay
out of fast food places and stop complaining.
You are in charge of your own health or
you’re out of control.
They are not going to fix it; they don’t
want to fix it.
If you want the best health care start
reading labels, ask questions and stop
buy junk food.
If no one buys it- it will go away.
Demand healthy food.
I know if you bought a new sports car
you wouldn’t put the cheapest gas in it,
would you?
You’d buy the best yet you put more poor
fuel into your mouth daily.
I wish you the best in your Health Wealth and Happiness

Rebecca Ayre, the president of Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT), invited me to be a guest speaker at this year’s conference. I was more than happy to share all I could with the group.
The topics covered all the current trends in Integrative Cancer Care. It was designed to empower people with practical knowledge that will directly benefit those facing a diagnosis of cancer and patients who are looking for options and choices in creating their recovery from cancer. The conference was a unique opportunity to learn of the best therapies, techniques and approaches that Integrative Cancer Care has to offer.
I really got a ton of info to help my patients.
Their group was much more in alignment to my way of thinking.
When I treat a patient no matter whether they are looking for anti-aging treatments, recovering from a disease like cancer or any degenerative disease, I always work to balance the internal terrain.
If you had a garden in your backyard and the soil was very acid and had very little vitamins or minerals (clay and sand) in it, you wouldn’t expect to get much of a harvest.You could still grow something, but the plants would grow poorly and as far as getting any healthy fruits or vegetables your chances would be slim.
On the other hand, if your garden soil was alkaline had proper vitamins, minerals, air and water- your chances of getting a Bumper Harvest would be great. I have been growing organic gardens for years.
The key is the soil.
Of course it needs air, water, and sun light, but in poor soil it gets bugs, weeds and small unhealthy plants.
It’s the same in our body, if you eat junk food, don’t get clean air and water we will have a poor internal terrain and your health will reflect it.
Balance the terrain and the body will go towards health.
I was asked to share my knowledge of Energy medicine, Medical Qi Gong and Chinese Taoist internal exercises at this year’s conference as well as the importance of a proper internal terrain.
The doctors who attended were the top physicians, naturopaths, chiropractors and members of the general public, who gathered to share the best that Integrative Cancer Care has to offer.
They put together a truly memorable conference, and I look forward to participating as this community strengthens and grows.
Thank you all it was a great honor and privilege to share my knowledge with you.
I Wish you the Best in your Health , Wealth and happiness

Dr. Wu Dhi http://rechargingqigong.com http://energymedicineflorida.com http://qigonginnercircle.com Befriend me on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/people/Woody-Swartz/704214222 Subscribe to my YouTube channel: http://youtube.com/drwudhi
Dr. Wu Dhi was born Sherwood Swartz but mostly known as ‘Woody’ to friends and family. As a student of various traditions he as received various names and titles over the years as is appropriate in those schools. Among these names was Wu Di, very similar to the pronunciation of Woody, in China the name means ‘has no enemies’. Wu Di was later renamed by a Tibetan Lama to Wu Dhi with an ‘h’. Although this may not seem like that much of a change from Wu Di or even Woody for that matter, it is in fact a high honor to receive such a name directly from a Lama. Dhi in this case is the Sanskrit seed syllable ‘Dhi’ and associated with the great wisdom holder Manjurshri. Dr. Wu Dhi has been a pioneer in alternative health care for over 30 years and a master of Medical Qi Gong. Dr. Wu Dhi completed his advance studies in neurology under the direction of Professor Sun at the prestigious Heilongjiang, University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Harbin P.R.China.

Early Saturday morning around 6:30 , I received a distress call from Mairlynn, the Mango lady.
I usually don’t get a call from her this early in the growing season.
She is the owner of Hatcher Hill Mango Farm. www.hatchermangohill.com.
It’s a small farm about 3+ acres large with more mangoes than I’ve ever seen.
They are all organically grown, not to mention are the biggest and best darn
mangoes I have ever tasted.
I usually visit the 60 year old farm a few times each season to feast on the mangoes.
Those farmers, in general, are really hard workers – picking, packing and shipping
mangoes is a back breaking job.
In fact, that’s how I became friends with the Hatchers.
It was about 14 years ago when I discovered Hatcher Hill Mango farm.
I was driving up to see my parents and I saw the sign, “Organic Mangoes for sale.”
I drove up the dirt road to the farm, when I got the top of the hill,
I couldn’t believe my eyes, there were tables of the largest mangoes I’ve ever seen.
Man this was a real find, “I love mangoes.”
I jumped out of the car and as I was picking out the mangoes that I wanted,
I heard the Mango Lady say. “My back is really sore.” I told her I could fix that and
within seconds,
I was in the farm house in seconds putting acupuncture needles in the mango lady’s
back and doing Medical Qi Gong. We’ve been friends ever since.
But, let’s get back to the distress call.
The Mango Lady called and said she could hardly walk, that’s always bad but just
before the mangoes ripen, it’s a really BIG problem.
She said it all hit the fan at the same time and she needed some help.
I got into the “Chi-mobile” and drove up to the farm in Boynton Beach.
It’s true, STRESS can cause more health problems that lifting heavy boxes
of mangoes all day or any physical work.
So, I had a long chat with the Mango Lady about stress
and what it does to people.
Stress is the # 1 killer in the USA – causing more heart problems, cancers,
mental and emotional problems than anything else.
We went over exercises and relaxation techniques together that are in my
“Turn Stress into Power Program.”
We worked for about half an hour on the meditations and the internal exercises,
to turn those stresses around and use them to her advantage.
Long story short, by the time I left Hatcher Hill, she was feeling 100% better!
So why not turn your personal stress into power too? It’s as easy as one, two – FREE!
