This legend comes from a lot of little known Chinese history and gives a little background information on some of the events of ancient times that now leads us to the discloser of many of it’s true long lost ancient secrets. The use of these extremely accurate ancient natural health evaluation and healing techniques were reserved only for royalty at the time.

The first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang is credited for a unified China. He was the King of Qin, one of many of the warring states. After conquering other kingdoms, he established himself as Emperor, to differentiate himself from kings. His interest in longevity attracted the ancient healing arts and is recorded to have lost his life at an age, just under a century old, by taking a longevity potion.

There is a likelihood that he was poisoned or tricked into thinking this was his “fountain of youth” remedy, because he was not well liked and was looked upon as an ancient “Adolf Hitler”, with only his prime minister as a trusted friend, who himself was a tyrant.

In his paranoia, as China appeared weaker to his enemies, in the eyes of Emperor Qin, he was fanatical about the strength of his new empire, so he wanted to make sure that these Royal Ancient Evaluation Techniques were shared with the people of China.

Even though the Emperor had a multitude of the best healing physicians, (Dr. Wu being the Grand Master) there were not enough to go about the entire country side to maintain a strong healthy China.

So he instructed the Grand Master to commission his physicians to publish all the ancient healing secret books to share with the people of China.

But he was cautioned by his cabinet that this plan had would not work, because if he did share these publications with the people of China, there was no guarantee that China’s enemies would not get a hold of these healing secrets.

His enemies could get a hold of these ancient healing secret books and become stronger than China.

And when they tried recruit apprentice Doctors to leave their families and go about the countryside evaluating, healing and making China strong, there were not enough interested parties in becoming doctors to leave their families behind to honor the Emperor’s request.

So he devised a plan where he would gather a multitude of peasants, farmers and many other lowly walks of life and ORDER them to take the healing secrets to evaluate, heal and keep the people of China strong.

These new reluctant apprentice doctors were also warned to guard the Emperor’s Doctor Book under penalty of death to include their families. They were counseled, that if their lives were lost in the defense of these secrets, their families would also be put to death.

The Emperor further ordered that they would get no pay from anyone that was sick and that any type of payment or donation should only be accepted from those that maintain their health. Which made a lot of sense since you couldn’t make money if you were sick, right?

That was intriguing for a westerner to note that the Chinese Doctors would be paid for maintaining you healthy, not sick.

To this day you can see locals of the orient offering donations to Monks, but when called to do healings or blessings there is no pay.

Chinese grammar at the time had no term for “healer”, the healer was called a “doctor”, translated into teacher in many cultures.

So as all these reluctant apprentice doctors forced into loyal obedience, went about the countryside, while they continue to maintain the ancient evaluation and healing secrets. Under penalty of death, of course!

They came to be known as Imperial Healing Warriors. They functioned much like the monks of the day and at times spent time in monasteries.

After Emperor Qin’s death, the emperors that followed slowly release their hold on these Imperial Healing Warriors. And little by little, these healing secrets started to be known around the world in a limited, but effective fashion.

It is recorded that succeeding Emperors would have suspicions about these secrets being shared with monks and there were some monasteries that were destroyed because of these suspicions.

When the Ancient Apprentices were first drafted into service, they were all given a small book called the Emperor’s Doctor Book.

As you may imagine, when he commissioned his physicians to publish these healing secrets, it turned out to be actually volumes. This initial small book contained a condense version of only the evaluation techniques, which pointed out or referred to other volumes. So, they were known to carry 2 or three of these volumes with their small book.

These Imperial Healing Warriors would often be seen reading up on hills with a good vantage point or in monasteries hidden from would be attackers.

On a few occasions some Imperial Healing Warriors were attacked by common criminals. But the secrets were never in jeopardy, since they were not foreigners as the Emperor’s paranoia perceived.

The Emperor’s protection plan of these secrets and his Ancient Apprentices included them caring a goat bag that contained a type of acid of the time that would dissolve the ink. They could either place the publication in the bag or pour it over the books.

During these attacks the Emperor sent soldiers but of course the attackers were no longer there. But it also served to deliver new volumes to the apprentices.

The Imperial Healing Warriors would be approached for healing by being searched out and would often be found in deep study.

Many times when seekers would go to monasteries they would be directed to where the secret Imperial Healing Warriors would be.

As time went on and the successors to the Emperor Throne came and went, the Imperial Healing Warriors were slowly, unofficially released from service and started sharing the first Emperor’s healing modalities.

Acupuncture and Reflexology are only a few of these shared secrets. But even these in and of themselves have more uses than is known by the average practitioner.

What are these secrets in the Emperor’s Doctor Book?
You may have heard of some of these, just to name a few;
Facial Analysis, Tongue Analysis, Eye Analysis, Nail Analysis, Ear Analysis, Hand/Foot Analysis, Chanting(affirming), Humming (frequency) Energy Healing and Chakra healing, etc.!

The Imperial Healing Warriors now have apprentices all over the world.
