Chinese 'Slap Therapist' Causes Two Deaths, Faces Murder Charges
In China, self-proclaimed 'slap therapist' Hongchi Xiao has been arrested on murder charges after two people died during his controversial therapy sessions. Xiao, who claims to have developed a self-healing method, is now under investigation following these tragic incidents.
Hongchi Xiao, a former Chinese banker, started providing therapy to people through 'alternative medicine' in recent years.
Claiming to have learned the long-forgotten self-healing method 'paida lajin' from 'kung fu masters' and 'hermits,' Hongchi Xiao has become known worldwide for his peculiar therapy method. His followers describe him as a 'revolutionary.'
Xiao, who studied banking in New York and worked in the field for many years, later decided to do something 'meaningful.'
He claims to have learned techniques from kung fu masters, hermits, farmers, and fishermen in the remote mountains of China. Believing that 'Western' medicine has side effects and that people can actually heal themselves, he states, 'We are our own best doctors,' and considers this ability a valuable gift. In the practice of paida lajin, individuals slap certain parts of the body to activate 'energy channels' and stretch limbs and joints to promote energy flow.
A woman who came to the person claiming that people can heal themselves through 'slap therapy' died following these practices, which have no medical qualifications.
Danielle Carr-Gomm, a 71-year-old woman with Type 1 diabetes, stopped taking her medication and turned to this practice. It was revealed that the woman groaned in pain before taking her last breath.
In the trial held in the UK, the so-called therapist was convicted of manslaughter.
Xiao had previously caused the death of a six-year-old child with Type 1 diabetes, convincing the family not to administer insulin injections to the child. Convicted and imprisoned in Australia for manslaughter, Xiao interpreted the child's severe illness as 'part of the body's self-healing process.'
