Today, I salute the publication of a magnus opus, with an exhaustive description of Chinese
Medical Qigong Therapy. These five volumes are a statement of the energetic treatments and
clinical protocols which have found great hope in both curative and palliative Qigong. One would
have expected such publications from Chinese experts, and yet to this day, no work of such
amplitude has ever come forth, neither in China nor in the West.
Professor Jerry Alan Johnson's merit is to have brought forth the most complete traditional and
particularly Daoist methods of Medical Qigong Therapy. This largely surpasses the structure of
the simple outline of gymnastic health exercises, fully expanding toward the fields of physiology,
psychology, and spirituality. In addition, all of the therapeutic aspects of Medical Qigong are also
evoked with respect to the particular needs of the practitioners of this discipline. We can add that
the theoretical aspects of these works go largely beyond the simple framework of Traditional
Chinese Medicine, reaching the esoteric, metaphysical and spiritual roots of this art.
