这是一封英文邮件，但叙述详实精彩。为了解除痛苦，他甚至三次去印度治疗，没想到最后还是自己把自己治好了！这就是自愈（self-healing）的魅力！他只用了拉筋就有如此神奇疗效。如果加上拍打，自愈效果会更好！
为了让更多人分享，我让浙江中医药大学毕业并拥有执业医师执照的弟子张起瑞将信译成中文。英文也附后供参考。
亲爱的萧老师：
我的名字叫Isa Ng Yuk Shui，我一直以来都想要写邮件感谢您，在藏传佛祖诞辰之日，我认为在此时表达我对您的感激之情再适合不过了，您通过您的书《医行天下》教会了我一种简单的方法：拉筋和拍打。很抱歉我不会打中文，这对于一个在香港出生的中国人来说是很惭愧的，所以我只能用英语和您交流了。后来，我通过您的书向一些朋友分享了我由于筋缩和筋硬所造成的痛苦，我想告诉他们是您的书拯救了我的生命，真的。以下就是我从2000年以来所忍受的痛苦。
从2000年开始，我右边的身体：肩膀、手臂、后背和脊柱一直忍受着筋缩和筋硬的痛苦。近年来这样的症状变得越来越严重，在02—03年间，我的右手甚至已经无法举起2磅重的面包！随后，由于我的个性，我选择了自然疗法而不是任何的止疼药物。我去做了按摩、艾灸（使用草药熏蒸穴位）、针刺、甚至是电针、火罐......凡是你能够说出的我全都尝试过。症状并没有任何的好转。在此我要感谢一位中国的按摩师，她鼓励我去做瑜伽并且告诉我那样一定会对我有帮助。我的手臂稍微好转了一点，但是手臂的疼痛还是一样，并且特别容易疲劳。到06年春天，我的双膝关节和大腿变得非常的疼痛（有许多的骨刺在膝关节中），以至于我在平路上行走超过10分钟就必须停下来休息，爬坡和上楼梯那绝对是一种痛苦！我放弃了驾驶，从06年到09年间，我甚至三次跑到印度去往膝盖内注射一种凝胶状物质，症状同样没有多大的改善。从去年夏天开始，我的背痛开始加剧，从肩膀到颈部，每天早晨我都会被右侧后背的疼痛唤醒，这样的疼痛从手臂一直到脚，我的左侧身体也开始变得很紧，这种紧张感已经有很长的时间了。随着日子一天天的过去，身体日渐衰退，我越来越痛苦，如果不是有很强的宗教信仰，我可能已经在某个黑暗的日子结束了自己的生命......
后来有一天晚上，我去逛商场，去了自己最喜欢的书店，你的那本关于拉筋的书引起了我的注意！这些年来，我向每一个人抱怨在医院的骨科和其他各科里，没有一个科是专门针对“筋”的，我想我没有机会了。举例来说，我在印度的医生，Mandal博士，是德里（印度城市名）骨科及关节镜外科领域最优秀的医生之一，他是运动医学和微创手术方面的专家，他给我做个各种各样的检查：核磁共振、X光检查等，检查我的手臂、脊柱和双膝。最后他还是无法说清到底是什么原因造成了我的痛苦？？？？？我在春天的时候得到了这本令人惊讶的书，读了一个星期我就开始尝试这种拉筋的方法。第二天，是的，就在每条腿仅仅拉了10分钟，拉了两条腿之后，在早晨醒来时我发现，今天我没有被每天都会出现疼痛给弄醒！！！！我自己都不敢相信，之后我继续做了几次，感觉好多了！从那以后，我坚持拉筋，到现在已经差不多三个月了，你猜怎么样？我身体上原来那些疼痛的地方已经一点都不痛了！事实上，我的按摩师问我是如何做到的，因为他注意到我的筋已经不再像“石头”一样硬了，但仍然比正常人的要硬一些，现在我的筋变得更容易按摩、更容易放松了，只要按摩一个小时就可放松。在这之前，仅仅是我的两个手臂花两个小时按摩都还无法放松！我在一天天的进步和恢复中！另外，尽管我的膝盖里有骨刺，我用它们却方便有力，我已经能够走一个小时而不需要休息了！这是前所未闻的。
你能够相信吗？仅仅用简单的拉筋就治愈我过去十年所承受的痛苦，不花钱、不用药，只需要马上行动，并自觉坚持！
向您致意！

Dear Teacher Xiao,
My name is Isa Ng Yuk Shui. I have meant to write you this thank you email for a long while, and on this Tibetan Buddha's Birthday, I consider it most appropriate to express my utmost appreciation and gratitude towards the simple methods of stretching/slapping that you have taught me via your book 'yi xing tian xia'. Sorry that I have not learned to type Chinese and it is embarrassing that as a HK born Chinese, I have to use English to communicate with you. Since I have shared my agony with ligaments hardening & shrinkage with a few friends as I was passing them your book in order to inform them how your book had saved my life, literally! Below are the extract of the pain that I have been bearing since 2000.
FYI, I have suffered from shrinking and hardening ligaments on my right body from shoulder/arm/back/spine since 2000. It got worse over the years, at 2002 -03, my right arm could not even lift 2 pounds bread! Then, typical me, I opted for natural healing instead of using any pain killers or drugs. I went for massage, moxibustion (using herbal incense to smoke the acupuncture points), acupuncture, even electric acupuncture, fire glass (but guan), you name it, I have tried them all! It did not get any better, and thanks to the Chinese massage lady, who encouraged me to do yoga, as she said I must self help. My arm became slightly better, but my pain with the arm is constant, and easily exhausted. Then by 06 spring, my 2 knees and thighs were causing so much pain (many many spurs at my knees) that I could not walk normally with running shoes on flat floor for more than 10 mins, I would need to sit down to rest. Also, walking uphill and stairs are pure AGONY! I quit Jockey. I even went to India 3 separate times to do injection of jelly to my knees from 06 till 09, again, not much improvement. My back pain increases since last summer, from shoulder to neck, each morning I have been waking up by PAIN at my right back, from arm pit area all the way to my foot, the left side began to frozen as well, as the stress was on them for too long. Had it not been the fact that I have strong faith with my religion, I could have end my life in some gloomy days as my body was decaying and become more & more painful as days gone by..........
Then, 1 evening I went to this shopping mall, and I walked into my favorite bookstore, and surely, this book about lajin CAUGHT my eyes! All these years, I was complaining to everyone that there are medical departments for bones and other organs, NOT one for ligaments, guess I have no chance. FYI, my western doctor in India, Dr Mandal was one of the best Orthopedic & Arthroscopy Surgeon in Delhi, he was Specialist in Sports Medicine and Minimal Invasive Surgery, I have done MRI, Xrays, etc, all tests on my spine, arm and 2 knees. He could not explain what was the cause of my pain???? I got this amazing book in Spring, read it for a week, and started trying the lai gun methods. The second day, YES, only tried lai gun for 10 mins on each leg and only after the second time, I noticed I was not feeling the usual pain that wakes me up in the morning!!! I could not believe it, then went on trying 2-4 different methods, and felt much better. Since then, I keep on doing lai gun, now for almost 3 months (told your dad and gave Fi the book since April), guess what, I do not feel any PAIN at all those areas! In fact, my massage man asked me how I did it, as he noticed that my ligaments are no more hard as stones, still harder than normal folks, but manageable to massage and become easily relax after an hour! Before, only my 2 arms would have taken 2 hours and still not relax! I am improving and recovering day by day! Also, my knees, even with spurs, I have STRENGTH now with them! For change, with the aid of flipflop. I am able to walk for an hour, without the need to rest! Unheard of. Can you imagine, simple lai gun methods that can CURE my suffering for the past 10 years!!! No$, no drug, just discipline and just DO IT!
So, thank you once again, Teacher Xiao. To me, you are a Bodhisattva who are here in this time and age to eliminate sufferings for sentient beings that are in human realm, and I sincerely admire your amazing journey on this Bodhisattva path. I yearn and pray that I can become a self healing master to aid others as well, but of course, we all have different sets of karmic ripening.
With warmest regards,
Isa Ng
