Dr. Kopa Battling Pancreatic Cancer Dedicates Himself to YouTube and Feng Shui Experiment

There is actually feng shui that prevents pancreatic cancer

“I’m happy that feng shui has spread in the world, but there are some things that are questionable and raise concerns. So, I thought that as the person responsible for spreading feng shui, it would be better for me to share the correct knowledge, which is why I started YouTube.”

Dr. Copa, who gained fame in the ’90s for creating a feng shui boom with his cheerful personality and gentle speaking style, has simplified complex feng shui theories and made them easy to understand. He has expanded his work into areas such as providing fortune-telling advice and corporate consulting, with his fortune-telling books selling over 20 million copies.

Since last year, he has started a YouTube program called Dr. Copa’s Fortune School. He is also focusing on sharing information on other social media platforms. One of the reasons he’s concentrating on information dissemination is that he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer shortly after starting his YouTube channel (he is currently undergoing treatment).

“The survival rate for three years is said to be 7%, but actually, there is feng shui that can prevent pancreatic cancer. So, right now, I’m conducting my own experiment (laughs).”

Currently, Dr. Copa has uploaded over 200 videos (including shorts), and his most popular topics are “home feng shui” and financial luck. In one of the videos, he made headlines by saying, “Feng shui-wise, it’s better if your house doesn’t have a kitchen or a bathroom.”

The ideal feng shui style is the ancient Chinese horizontal cave dwelling

“Feng Shui is often seen as superstition or a form of magic, but in reality, it is a practical methodology called ‘Environmental Luck Enhancement Science,’ which uses the environment to improve one’s fortune. Living in a house designed without incorporating this perspective can lead to issues in health, finances, and relationships. The main cause of these problems lies in the placement of the kitchen and the toilet.

First, I want people to understand that modern homes have significant issues from a feng shui perspective, and I want them to use feng shui to correct these negatives. On YouTube, I share feng shui theories based on house layout, which is the core of feng shui.”

Why are modern houses not good from a feng shui perspective? The reason lies in the fact that as culture developed, lifestyle became more diverse.

“Until the 1950s, Japanese homes were primarily wooden detached houses. At that time, it was common to design homes to capture sunlight from the south, in line with the movement of the sun. However, in modern times, various types of apartment buildings with different orientations have been built, resulting in an increasing number of homes that no longer receive any sunlight from the south.”

In feng shui, the movement of the sun is directly linked to our fortune.

The morning sun rises in the east, bringing health and vitality to the body. The sun at noon, when it rises to the south, stimulates the mind and improves concentration for studying or working. The evening sun, setting in the west, brings a sense of satisfaction and abundance for the day. And at night, after the sun sets in the north, it offers rest. Ancient dwellings, such as those in China, were designed to benefit from this sun exposure.

“In horizontal cave dwellings, there was no kitchen, toilet, or bathroom inside. The basic idea was to ensure a safe and sound sleep. The feng shui ideal home is one where there are no negative influences from the kitchen or the toilet.”

Kitchens are areas where water and fire are used, directly affecting the household finances, while toilets are places of waste disposal, which impact health. In modern homes, it is common to place water-related areas like the kitchen and toilet together, often in the center of the house.

“Kitchens and toilets need windows to circulate negative energy, but many modern houses lack sufficient windows. If you just live in such a house without any precautions, it can lead to poor health or financial struggles.”
