Besides trying Western and Chinese medicine, he even went to the mainland to find the secret formula. "When a ch'i-kung [a Chinese approach to basic life forces] expert held his hand over mine, and asked me if I felt the life force flowing, my heart sank, because I really didn't feel it."
除了中藥、西藥都試，後來他更到大陸去尋找秘方，「當一位氣功師父將手懸在我的手上方，問我是否感覺到氣在流動，我的心往下沉，因為實在沒有。」
