As a child growing up in China during the Cultural Revolution, Master Mingtong endured hunger, poverty, and a long separation from his birth family. Despite these incredible hardships, he became the first from his village to attend college, earning a bachelor's degree in mathematics followed by two master's degrees. As a graduate student in art, Master Mingtong discovered the treasures of his own culture through the spiritual iconography of Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism, while practicing yoga, Tantric Buddhism, and Qi gong.  In 1997, Master Mingtong returned to China for Qi gong training under Grandmaster Dr. Pang Ming, a physician and Qi gong grandmaster trained in Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, and the founder of the world's largest Qigong hospital. During his training, Master Mingtong observed thousands of cases of chronic and "incurable" diseases being healed at this "medicine-less Qigong hospital," which treated 200,000+ patients with more than 185 different illnesses, with a 95% effective improvement rate.  In this episode, Dr. Jannine Krause interviews Master Mingtong Gu on the benefits of Wisdom Healing Qi Gong.
