The IF basically augments his chi. Essentially, he adds the dragons chi to his own, giving him a bigger well of chi to draw from.I'd guess even without the dragons chi added to his own, he can still heal. But, I've never seen him do it in a comic, so I can't say for certain how well chi healing with a more limited pool of chi would work.
The dragon's chi is his chi. There is like a well of chi that he accesses all his powers from, I'm pretty sure this was mentioned in Immortal Iron Fist.

o_o But Danny can chi amp without the dragons chi, too. He's done it against Sabertooth in the 90's, when his normal IF was fizzling out for some reason.
And like I said earlier in the thread, Colleen Wing learned to use her chi to enhance her strength. And a lot of her chi amping skills were learned from a mind meld with Danny.
Do you think Davos could ever hope to compete with Danny if he couldn't amp his stats with chi? Or catch Spidey and use his body as a club?
You can think of it as Danny before he faced the dragon, or between periods when Davos stole the Iron Fist power from him.
