Guest guest Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 The Cause and Therapy of Cancer in the Perspective of Qigong by Miao Xingzhuang (This paper is published in The Journal of Traditional Eastern Health & Fitness , Vol. 16, No. 4: Winter 2006-2007. www.qi-journal.com <http://www.qi-journal.com/> ) Nowadays, cancer is still a disease that cannot be healed completely through a conventional medical treatment. The reason is that people haven¡¯t found the real origin of cancer. Here, a hypothesis is proposed to explain cancer in the Qi perspective, and introduce the way to treat cancer through Qigong. 1. Two Causes of Diseases According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, inside the body, there is a network of main and collateral channels or paths (Jing-luo), and a kind of matter or energy flows along these channels or paths, the matter or energy is called Qi, in Chinese, Qi means ¡°gas¡± literally, ancient Chinese believe it is the source of vitality. Qi plays a very important role in the course of life. Smooth and unobstructed of the paths is the precondition of healthiness, because it¡¯s the precondition that Qi can flow freely through it. According to the traditional Chinese medicine, there are two types of the origins of disease. This viewpoint is expressed in the ancient Chinese book: The Medical Classic of the Yellow Emperor. " When the spirit is hurt sever pains ensue, when the body is hurt there will be swellings. Thus in those cases where sever pains are felt first and the swellings appear later, one can say that the spirit has injured the body. And in those cases where swellings appear first and severe pains are felt later, one can say that the body has injured the spirit " [1]. Here the ¡°spirit¡± is Qi in Chinese original text. From this we know that one type disease is that the Qi is first injured, and then the body is injured i.e. Qi injures body (QIB); another type is that the body is first injured, then the corresponding Qi is injured, i.e. body injures Qi (BIQ). The Qi not only exists in human body, it exists in all creatures, including animals. When an organism died, the body rotted soon, but the Qi inside the body can separate from the body and survive independently for a period, it contains energy and matter. Once the survived Qi of the dead organisms comes into people¡¯s body, the invaded Qi will block the body¡¯s network of paths (Jing-luo), the Qi of himself can no longer flow freely. If the invaded Qi is very weak, its structure will be destroyed and its energy and matter will be absorbed by the body soon, so it cannot do harm to the body; but, if the invaded Qi is not very weak, it will remain there and block the paths, at the beginning, people may feel pain, numbness, tired or petulant, after some time, the body will fall ill. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, Qi is the leading power of blood circulation, if Qi cannot flow freely, blood cannot flow freely either, so the immunity of the body decreased, the probability to catch diseases increased 2. The Cause of Cancer The hypothesis is: cancer is the typical disease of QIB, caused by the invasion of the survived Qi from out. The invaded Qi has its own structure and power, it is not compatible with the structure of the body, it imposes an extra force on the genes in the cell nucleolus, this extra force can cause gene mutation, and thus, the normal cells turn to cancer cells. Of course, toxins and other factors can also cause cancer, but they cannot explain all. The reason why people live in a very similar environment and similar diet have different probability to catch cancer can be explained by the invaded Qi. The role of toxins maybe is mainly to decrease the immunity of the body, so when the Qi invaded, the body is more easily to fall ill. Nowadays, the chemotherapy and the radiation are usually used to deal with cancer. The chemicals and the rays can only kill some cancer cells, but they can do nothing to the invaded Qi, which causes the cancer. Although some cancer cells are killed by chemicals or rays, but the force that turns the normal cells to cancer cells is still exist. Under the force of the invaded Qi, the normal cells become cancer cells continuously. This is the reason why the chemotherapy and the radiation cannot defeat cancer from the root. 3. An Experiment of Qi People have got some evidences of the existence of Qi and its effect to change the structure of gene. In the first quarter of 1987, the High Energy Physics Institute of China Academy of Sciences did an experiment. A Qigong master (Yan Xin) emit Qi to the solution of DNA of calf thymus, after that, the absorbed value of characteristic ultraviolet radiation of 257nm is significantly increased than the control group, this means that the DNA¡¯s double helix structure is destroyed, some hydrogen bonds are broken [2]. From this result of the experiment, we can presume that the invaded Qi can cause the gene mutation inside the body and incur cancer. 4. What Is Qi? Though people know little about Qi from the perspective of experimental sciences, but we know some characteristics of it, such as it has no weight or very little weight, it is transparent, cannot be seen by eye or detected by any existing equipments, can pass through ordinary matter freely, rarely interact with ordinary matter. From some characteristics of Qi, we can infer what it may be. The author think it is a kind of or a few kinds of very microcosmic matter, even more microcosmic than the discovered elementary particles. It may be a kind or kinds of ¡°dark matter¡± (or dark energy), about which some particle physicists and astronomers are studying. Some scientists believe in that the dark mater is tiny non-baryonic particles, some kinds of neutrino. They call it the WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles). As some scientist described [3], the characteristics of the proposed dark matter are very in conformity with the characteristics of Qi, so we have reason to infer that Qi may be dark matter. In the ancient Chinese classic of Taoism, a kind of matter is assumed, it was called Tao. Tao is described as no color, no odor, no shape and no sound. Tao full of the universe, it exists before everything and everything is formed by it [4]. " There was something.; That into an indistinguishable mass had wrought itself; Born before heaven and earth; Desolate and formless; It stood alone, unchanging; And may be regarded as the mother of heaven and earth " ; " The Tao generated one; One generated two; Two generated three; Three generated ten thousand things " [5]. The Greek Milesian School philosopher Anaximander has a similar idea [6]. I assume that the Tao is just a kind of dark matter, also the Qi. Of course, what is Qi on earth, the final answer will only comes from the discovery of physics. The day may be very near, but may also very far. 5. What Is Not Qi? For people have many different explanations of Qi, some of them are misleading, so it is necessary to say something about what is not Qi. A. Psychological effect is not Qi. The author had experienced the external Qi other Qigong master emitted under the request of the author¡¯s father without informing the author beforehand, so the Qi is not pure psychological effect. Some psychological effect can be explained by Qi, but Qi cannot be explained by psychological effect. Because psychological effect is a phenomenon, it needs to be explained. B. Field is not Qi. Some people think Qi is a kind of field, this is wrong. For field cannot exist independently, such as magnetic field depends on the magnet, electric field depends on electrons, gravity field depends on the mass of matter. But Qi, instead, can exist independently, so Qi is not field, but Qi may cause a filed. C. Infrared is not Qi. Some people explain Qi by infrared, this is not true. For infrared is only a form of energy, a kind of rays, it cannot form a complicated structure, and cannot exist statically. But Qi can, so Qi is not infrared. D. Pure information is not Qi. Information cannot exist without any carrier, all information transfer must depend on some kind of carrier. Qi may contain some information, but it cannot be the pure information without any material carrier, so Qi must be a kind of positive matter. 6. The Ways to Heal Cancer Because caner is caused by the invasion of survived Qi from outside, medicines can do little to the survived Qi, but there are two ways to deal with it. If these ways combined with conventional therapy, most cancer may be healed completely. The first way is that some experienced Qigong practicers use their power to help the cancer patient, to destroy and clean the invaded Qi inside the patient¡¯s body, then the cancer may be defeated. But for most Qigong practitioners, the method they usually use to cure is to emit Qi to the patient, this power is limited and the effect may not very well, for the Qi inside the body of the Qigong master is limited, so he cannot do this kind of therapy for very long time, otherwise, he will exhaust himself. Just as some researcher pointed out: " Qigong comes in many forms, and not all Qigong forms are effective in treating cancer; and not all ¡®Qigong masters¡¯ can effectively emit EQ(external Qi) for cancer study " [7]. Some Qigong healers produced more tumor growth in treatment than the control group due to their lack of proper technique in the emission of Qi [8]. If the Qigong practitioners use their mental power let the invaded Qi out of the patient¡¯s body, the effect will be very significant. For this method of treatment doesn¡¯t consume the Qigong master¡¯s Qi, and after get the invaded Qi from the patient, the Qigong master can absorb it and assimilate, so his Qigong power can be increased, and thus the treatment can persist for long time and the effect is well. The second way is to do the mental exercise of Qigong by the cancer patient himself, the patient can use his mental power to let the Qi in the cancer position emit out of his body, or move to other part of his body, during the movement of the Qi, the structure of the invaded Qi can be destroyed and absorbed by the body, if his mental power is strong enough, cancer may be healed. But, for a new practicer, the power usually increases slowly, and the effect may not very significant. These ways can be used together. Conventional treatment is also necessary, for there are two aspects: the invaded Qi and the existing cancer cells. Qigong can solve the problem of Qi, but can do little directly to cancer cells. Drugs can kill cancer cells directly, but can do nothing to invaded Qi. So, if the two means combined together, most cancer can be cured completely. 7. Two Cases of Treatment There are two cases of Qigong treatment to cancer patients done by the author, the author have practiced the exercise of Qigong since 1989. In 1994, the author¡¯s friend¡¯s mother, Mrs. Wang, caught acute leukemia of granular cells, physicians thought no hope to be healed and at most can survive 2 months, she was 70 years old that year. Under the desperation, they agreed the author to help her with Qigong. The author gave her Qigong treatment for 3 days (3-4 hours a day). After three weeks, she took the marrow test, to the astonishing of both my friend and the physician, the result of the test shows that she was healed. Another case is Mr. Xiao, the author¡¯s friend, 32 years old, chronic granulocytic leukemia. The author has given him the Qigong treatment for in Aug. 2005. After 5 days Qigong treatment (about 3 hours a day), the percent of the immature blood cells comes down from 30% to 1%; the amount of blood platelets comes down from about 500,000 to about 300,000. Before the Qigong treatment, the platelets had the phenomenon of agglomeration, after injection, the pinhole bled for long time; after the treatment, this phenomenon disappeared, the platelets no longer in agglomeration. No any medicine had he taken during the 5 days of Qigong treatment. Of course, these two cases may be only occasional, so the author wants to have an opportunity to do more experiments under scientific study design and strict control, to test the hypothesis.
