Mantak Chia was born in Thailand, to Chineseparents, in 1944. While still a grammar school student,he learned traditional Thai boxing. He was then taught

Tai Chi Chuan by Master Lu, who soon introduced him to Aikido, Yoga and broaderlevels of Tai Chi. It was Master Yi Eng who authorized Master Chia to teach andheal. Master Cheng Yao-Lun’s system combined Thai boxing and Kung Fu. MasterChia also studied at this time with Master Pan Yu, whose system combined Taoist,Buddhist, and Zen teachings. Master Pan Yu also taught him about the exchangeof Yin-Yang power between men and women, and how to develop the Steel Body.

To understand the mechanisms behind healing energy better, Master Chiastudied Western anatomy and medical science for two years. Using his knowledgeof Taoism, combined with the other disciplines, Master Chia began teaching theUniversal Tao System. He eventually trained other instructors to communicatethis knowledge and he established a natural healing center in Thailand – TaoGarden.

techniques that improve their ability to heal, absorb vital nutrients and benefitfrom healing treatments. This makes Tao Garden Health Spa and resort uniqueand extremely successful in helping others to help themselves. Grandmaster Chiafully believes the reason the healing treatments are so effective in Tao Garden isbecause the guests are trained to use their mindand energy to enhance the effect of the treatment.

Inner Beauty, Outer Radiance. Tao Gardenis a unique resort. The health spa therapies usedat Tao Garden are a product of Master Chia’shealing practices accumulated over 40 years ofteaching. Tucked away among banana groves,papaya trees, and organic rice fields, Tao Gardenis the perfect place to get away from the city andother modern annoyances. It is a place whereguests can pick and choose from a wide selectionof disciplines ranging from Tai Chi, Chi Kung(seated and moving meditation), Acupuncture,Ayurvedic, Thai Massage, Colonic (cleansingof large intestine), Chi Nei Tsang AbdominalMassage, Tao Yin, and many others. Tao Gardenguests receive one on one instruction and maylearn how to generate Inner Beauty, thusachieving Outer Radiance quite naturally.

Why Tao Garden? The open secret tophysical health is clean cells (all 6.5 trillion ofthem) and clean blood. Therefore, qualities thatMaster Chia envisioned and manifested for Taogarden are: good air, good water, and goodfood—the most basic requirements for good health on all levels. With a clean body,the mind and life force may be refined with much greater ease.

Good Air: Tao Garden is surrounded by farmlands, and there is a massivereservoir just a kilometer from Tao Garden. The surrounding area is wonderfullylush and green, enriching the air quality, due to the tropical climate of Thailand.

Good Water: The water in Tao Garden is supplied by a year-roundunderground spring that flows into a stream located inside the resort. The drinkingwater is intensely purified, going through a number of filters as well as a reverseosmosis process.

Good Food: Tao Garden Organic Five Elements kitchen’s menu is structuredaround blood type. Fresh gourmet dishes are prepared without monosodiumglutamate or refined white sugar. We use special Himalayan salt that neutralizesthe harmful effects that normal salt would have on the kidneys, heart, and bloodpressure. The Tao Garden Dining Hall offers vegetarian cuisine at every meal.According to Taoist medicine, certain body types need specific meat proteins to

maintain a strong and energized body. Chinese Taoist medicine is concerned withYin and Yang, or the acid and alkaline PH balance in the body. It is thereforenecessary for certain blood types to eat some fish or white meat in order to maintaina healthy balanced diet. Gourmet vegetarian, fish, chicken and raw foods areserved three times a day in a buffet style service.Detoxifying never tasted so good!

Materials used for the Buildings in theTao Garden. All buildings in Tao Gardenare made from red earth bricks that werespecially designed by Master Chia. The redbricks were made from the natural red earthof Thailand, which was pressed into redbrick from an energy efficient compressionand drying process.

But many people come to Tao Gardenwho are not ill. They come to learn this incredible Supreme Inner Alchemy andprevent illness.

Laboratory TestsLab tests are available on an individual basis, if advised or necessary.

Darkfield Live Blood AnalysisBlood is taken and viewed “alive”under a specialized microscope.From the darkfield, we can see thefollowing: heavy metal issues, pHimbalances, possible mineraldeficiencies (not the level ofdeficiencies), oxidative-stress,detoxing burdens and congestionof certain organs.

Bio-terrain AssessmentLooking for key “bio-markers,” we can determine thestate of the fluid not seen with a darkfield analysisof the blood and from the data, and plan a programthat will allow you to best improve your health. Thefluids tested are urine and saliva, which reflect thestate of blood and lymph respectively. We test forconductivity, oxidative stress, surface tension,specific gravity, physiological manifestations of fluidimbalances and sugar.

Prolozone InjectionThe injection consists of ozone gas with natural and safe injection materials topromote repair of joints, tendons and cartilage. It is very effective for degenerationof joints, and treatments are long lasting. A similar combination of materials (B-vitamins, procaine, ozone and homeopathics) is used for chronic sinus problems.

Ultra-Violet Blood IrradiationThe blood is run thru a special device which uses a Ultra-Violet C light wave form.This method of energizing the blood has been in use since the late 30’s. In fact, itwas gaining popularity in the medical world until the advent of antibiotics. Ultra-violet blood has the positive effects of: improving immunity and oxygen utilization;increasing the red blood cells and their ability to carry nutrients; reducing clottingand the “stickiness” of the blood; balancing blood pH; and buffering free-radicaloxidation.

Blood Ozone TherapyA needle is inserted into a vein and 100-200mL of blood is drawn into a vacuumbottle (same procedure as when you donate blood). A mix of oxygen and ozone isadded to the blood and then returned to the body as an IV drip. Ozone therapysimultaneously improves circulation and the delivery of oxygen to the cells. Ozonetherapy also regulates the immune system. It is useful for nearly all kinds ofchronic diseases as well as boosts energy and general wellbeing.

Heavy Metal DetoxPollution and individual matters can lead to a heavy metal burden on the body.Special treatments which detoxify this heavy metal burden are often consideredto be helpful in problems of the heart and with circulation. Even cancer preventativeeffects have been reported.

Local Ozone TherapyTherapeutically, ozone is locally administered (rectal, vaginal or below the skin)for the treatment of pain and skin disorders.

Holistic Health Check-upOberon Body ScanFrom the point of view of quantum physics, theorgans, tissues and cells in the body can be treatedas waves or vibrations. This means that everyorgan/cell is emanating a specific vibrationpattern. The Oberon receives the vibrations fromthe body and compares it with a database ofhealthy organs/cells. In this way, smalldeviations can be detected even before symptomsare present. The Oberon scan is done while the patient is comfortably seated in achair. The program can also be used as a healing therapy.

Personal Metabolic Typing (PMT)Metabolic typing is a system of nutritional analysis that helps to determine whatfoods and supplements are best for an individual’s metabolism. Because we areall different, what works for one person may not work well for another. The focusof our work is to balance the blood pH. Most people believe that more fruits andvegetables are needed to alkalize the body. However, there are certain metabolictypes that actually require more protein and fat to alkalize their bodies.

Aura Bio-electrographic EvaluationAn evaluation of systems, organs andemotional stresses of the body is done throughthe use of an Aura Camera and acomputerized display. You will receive acomplete aura picture, a physical & emotionalevaluation of the body’s organs and systems,and a chakra diagram showing thedistribution of energy in the body’s sevenenergy centers.

Digital Pulsewave AnalysisThe DPA uses infrared light sent to the fingertipand obtains pulsewave information with the lightabsorbing characteristics of hemoglobin. TheDPA provides information on arterial wallstiffness and determines the biological age ofarteries in less than 3 minutes. The FDAapproved, user-friendly, non-invasive device usesa finger probe to observe the changes in pressure,blood flow, velocity and profile throughout the whole pulsewave.
