The New TCM Anti-Flu Therapy is an economic, non-drug approach to flu prevention and treatment. Conforming to life science principles, it could be especially valuable in the context of a serious global flu epidemic and the rapid mutation of flu viruses. Observing the outcome of 30 years of clinical practice, and in line with the holistic New Century Medical Model, this alternative method of preventing and treating flu stresses the patient's active involvement, activating the body's innate flu defenses through clearly described and illustrated self-massage and other techniques. It is readily adaptable to the patient's individual circumstances.

The new century medical model pioneered by Wei Huiqiallg is a holistic approach uniting the biological, social and psychological aspects of health with the fundamental TCM theory of "Unity of Heave and Man." Where other approaches stress doctor-applied solutions, Wei Huiqiang mobilizes the patient's active involvement with self performed massage and other activities in combination with doctor-applied treatment.

Typical of Wei Huiqiang's innovative approach are his simple apparatus and non-drug technique directly killing flu viruses, addressing the major problem of flu viruses, namely their ability to rapidly mutate and become vaccine and drug resistant. In addition to their value in combating flu, many of Wei Huiqiang's suggestions have considerable benefits in the area of general health, youthfulness and wellbeing.
