 HOSPITAL, IN OTHER WORDS, EVERYONE SHOULD STUDY  IQ GONG AND
 LEARN THE ART OF HEALING.

 TECHNOLOGY PRESS.   THERE ARE TEN DIFFERENT KINDS OF  IQ GONG
 MENTIONED IN THE BOOK.     YOU MUST STUDY  Ig GONG FOR
 APPROXIMATELY THREE YEARS BEFORE YOU CAN BEGIN STUDYING THE
 BI GU METHOD.  THE BI GU METHOD INVOLVES ABSTAINING FROM
 FOOD.  THIS IS A VERY OLD METHOD OF CIGONG THAT EXISTED
 DURING THE HAN DYNASTY.    ITS PURPOSE IS TO PROLONG LIFE,
 MAINTAIN HEALTH, AND RAISE  IQ GONG ABILITIES.
 A. AFTER THE INITIAL THREE YEARS OF PRACTICING  IQ GONG, YOU
 CAN BEGIN ENGAGING IN THE BI GU METHOD.  DURING THE FIRST
 THREE DAYS, YOU ARE TO EAT ONLY TWO MEALS A DAY.  EVERY
 MORNING YOU MUST GET UP BETWEEN 3:00 AM AND 5:00 AM, GET INTO
 A COMFORTABLE POSITION, CLOSE YOUR EYES, PLACE YOUR TONGUE ON
 THE HARD PALATE OF YOUR MOUTH, AND BREATH THROUGH YOUR MOUTH.
 YOU MUST INHALE AND EXHALE BETWEEN 360 AND 1,000 TIMES.  THIS
 MUST BE DONE OUTSIDE AMONG THE TREES AND PLANTS.  THIS ALLOWS
 YOUR BODY TO EAT THE "QI" WHICH IS PRESENT AMONG PLANT LIFE.
 AFTER THREE DAYS, YOU MUST CUT DOWN TO ONE MEAL A DAY, AND
 CONTINUE THE SAME PROCESS.   AFTER TEN DAYS YOU WILL EAT
 NOTHING.
 B. THIS TYPE OF  IQ GONG IS NOT TO BE FORCED.  IT IS NOT A
 STARVATION DIET.  WHEN YOU MASTER THIS TYPE OF  IQ GONG, YOU
 WILL NOT HAVE HUNGER PAINS, ON THE CONTRARY, YOU WILL HAVE NO
 DESIRE TO EAT AND YOU'LL BE IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF YOUR BODY.

 COMMENTS:  FIELD COMMENTS.  THESE BOOKS HAVE STORIES THAT
 MAKE INCREDIBLE CLAIMS.  HOWEVER, A GREAT MAJORITY OF CHINESE
 PEOPLE BELIEVE IN THE ABILITIES OF  ICS GONG AND OFTEN CALL UPON
 IQ GONG MASTERS TO HEAL THEM.       IQ GONG IS AN ANCIENT CHINESE
 ART THAT MAY MERIT ATTENTION.       THERE HAVE BEEN MANY BOOKS
 WRITTEN ON THE SUBJECT AND AN INTERNATIONAL  IQ GONG CONVENTION
 IS HELD EVERY YEAR.   ACCORDING TO THE  IQ GONG MASTERS, YOU
 MUST FOCUS ON WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO ACHIEVE BEFORE YOU BEGIN
 STUDYING.   THIS  HELPS YOU TO DECIDE WHAT STYLE OF  IQ GONG
 WOULD BE MOST APPROPRIATTE TO ASSIST YOU IN ACCOMPLISHING
 YOUR GOAL.
