I understand that the completion of this form is recommended to develop a full Medical Qigong Treatment Plan, but such completion is based on my willingness to disclose this information. I further understand that a comprehensive Medical Qigong Treatment Plan will be more effective if this information is disclosed to the Medical Qigong Practitioner so that all aspects of my physical, mental, emotional, and lifestyle components can be taken into consideration for a plan tailored to my specific needs. Any information will remain confidential and not disclosed to any other parties until or unless I direct the Medical Qigong Practitioner to do so.
I understand that Medical Qigong Treatments are not to be considered as a replacement for Western Medical Treatment, which my regular physician may have prescribed to me [PCP or consulting Physician(s)]. The Medical Qigong Practitioner is willing to communicate with me and/or my regular physician(s) as needed to provide an optimal holistic treatment plan with the permission of both myself and my physician(s). Any medical records or information disclosed to the Medical Qigong Practitioner by myself or my physician(s) will be kept in the strictest confidence and not disclosed to any other parties without my permission.
I acknowledge that Christopher Paul “Kiki” Apodaca, the Medical Qigong Practitioner, is not a Western Medical Physician, Psychologist, or Counselor, and the Medical Qigong Practitioner’s recommendations are based on his training that originates from Energetic Chinese Medicine, which originates from Traditional Chinese Medicine. I acknowledge that I am not entering into a Western Physician-Patient relationship & the Medical Qigong Practitioner does not practice and is not licensed as a Western Medicine Physician.
I understand that Medical Qigong is a complementary and alternative medicine not licensed by the state of Arizona. Therefore, by practicing complementary and alternative medicine, the practitioner seeks to support rather than replace the care of your existing physician, therapist, or acupuncturist.
I acknowledge my commitment to my self-improvement process. I recognize that any Medical Qigong Treatment Plan, which is tailored for me, must be followed to be truly effective, just as the prescribed medication is only effective if taken as directed.
