A detailed guide to restoring the eight foundational areas of health
• Explains how each of legendary Taoist masters known as the Eight Immortals has a specific area of health as the focus of his or her teachings
• Offers practices, techniques and guidelines for each of the Eight Immortal Healer teachings, including the important roles of oxygen and water in the body, nutrition, detoxification, exercise, energy work, emotional pollution, and spiritual hygiene
The Eight Immortals are a group of legendary ancient Taoist masters, each associated with a specific area of health or a powerful healing technique. These eight disciplines can bestow vibrant health and well-being and provide the antidote to the stresses, ailments, degenerative diseases, and toxins of modern life.
In this guide to the healing practices of the Eight Immortals, Master Mantak Chia and Johnathon Dao share the legends of each Immortal teacher and detail the many ways to apply their wisdom through nutrition, exercises, supplements, detoxification methods, spiritual practices, and energy work. They explain how the first Immortal, born during the 8th century AD, is associated with oxygen, considered in the Taoist healing perspective as the body’s primary nutrient. They discuss how oxygen deficiency is the main culprit in cancer and virus and provide a number of oxygen therapies including the use of hydrogen peroxide and deep breathing to stimulate the metabolism and immune system. The second Immortal Healer centers on water, and the authors explain how chronic dehydration can lead to a host of ailments and offer advice for rehydrating. The other teachings of the Immortal Healers include Nutrition, with guidance on supplements, superfoods, toxic foods, and daily meals; Detoxification, with detailed guidelines for cleansing the body’s organs and glands; Avoiding environmental poisons, with advice on vaccines, dental amalgam fillings, sunscreen, chemotherapy, fluoride, and pesticides; Exercise, with step-by-step instructions for Inner Alchemy practices, yoga, and breathing techniques; Maintenance of the energy body, through acupuncture, chi kung healing, magnet therapy, and photon sound beams; and Emotional pollution and spiritual hygiene, with a wealth of practices for balancing the emotional body and staying connected to Source, including forgiveness, meditation, and karmic yoga.
By following these Eight Immortal Healers, you can take control of your health, remove the root causes of the chronic ailments that inhibit well-being and longevity, and choose to live life to the fullest in happiness and radiant health.

Really liked reading the book but the writer (johnathon c dao) kept going back to biblical phrases to back up his naturopathic claims. I found that weird and I went searching for other books he might have written but found only this one - in collab with mantak chia. I did however found his Facebook page - and I spent awhile looking at his posts and shares, and basically he is an anti vaccine, anti lockdown (in the middle of a pandemic), white Christian (nothing wrong with it, just made sense when I remembered the Bible references in the book) trump supporter :( who shares pics saying bill gates made thousands of children in India disabled by giving them polio vaccine (false, btw).
To me, a person who does not even bother to check up his own Facebook posts incriminating other people by stating false accusations as truth do not pass me such a trustworthy vibe. Kinda disappointed btw. As a person who is keen on health and prevention how can he be anti lockdown? And anti vaxx?????? Ugh.
He also shared multiple posts claiming that Sweden was doing fine with no lockdown (lies - they are in critical condition, and finally gave in to lockdown protocols).
I also checked various other claims made in the book but found lack of scientific evidence, about colloidal silver for example.
anyway, will try to find better books on naturopathy. only read this one because I like mantak chia :(
this other dude, upon learning all of this, just seems...sketchy.

Great read to bring in a more natural holistic view to health. I love the examples and illustrations on how to practice some of the items mentioned in the book.
