 About  Us
​


The Sha Research Foundation seeks to address some of the age-old questions: Are there any solutions to some sicknesses and chronic conditions that are deemed “incurable”?  Is there something that people who suffer lifelong from mental, emotional, and other problems can do to help themselves? 

Currently Sha Research Foundation is testing the efficacy of Tao Calligraphy tracing or writing, and mantra chanting on general health.

We conduct clinical research on the effect of these and other techniques using established clinical research designs, formal protocols, questionnaires, and standard operating procedures.  The methodology is submitted for IRB approval before initiating any study.  We have shared our findings at various professional research conferences since 2001.​
​The Sha Research Foundation was first established in 2002 by Dr. Zhi Gang Sha and a team of medical professionals in San Francisco, where it has been based since that time.
​
​Our Mission
The mission of the Sha Research Foundation is to bring about scientific proof of Tao Calligraphy and mantra chanting and its direct relationship and effects on human beings in order to help humanity to become healthier and happier.​

​Our Objective
​

The objectives of the Sha Research Foundation are to:
  • Create research through various networks and organizations that are involved in Integrative Medicine research;
  • Validate the use of Tao Calligraphy writing and mantra chanting through the standard research protocols; 
  • Bring awareness to the medical and scientific community about Tao Calligraphy writing and mantra chanting to incorporate them into their research and practice.
