Anti-Cancer Walking Qigong.
This qigong increases the flow of energy and oxygen throughout the body. According to Chinese medicine, cancer can grow where there is stagnation, a blockage of energy (qi). By increasing the circulation and greatly increasing the amount of oxygen as well as increasing the amount of toxins released from the body, the body becomes stronger and can protect itself better. From the material below, "there is an increased efficiency of cell metabolism and tissue regeneration through increased circulation of oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the brain, organs." )
Letter from one of Dr. Wang’s patients, a woman with lung cancer. “Dr. Wang you have sent me medicine and instructions for meditation and qigong. I do this exercise everyday. My doctor said I have just a 30% chance, maybe 50% if I do a second chemotherapy, but I don’t want it. I will take the Chinese medicine and do the exercises. This is a better way.” That was 8 years ago. The woman is cancer free and in good health. She sends Dr. Wang many referrals. While this woman chose not to have any further traditional medicine we are not making a recommendation to do so. You can do the walking qigong along with traditional medicine. You decide what course to take for your health in consultation with your chosen health care professionals.
History of this qigong
Defending against Cancer Walking Qiqong was developed by a Chinese woman Guo Lin (1906-1984). In 1949 she was diagnosed with uterine cancer and had surgery to remove it. In 1960 she had cancer in her bladder. Another operation removed the cancerous portion of the bladder. With another diangois of cancer later and given only 6 months to live she was determined to fight. She recalled the qigong her grandfather a Taoist priest, had taught to her as a child. She researched and practiced, to no avail. She then studied the ancient Qigong texts willed to her by her grandfather and created her own exercise schedule doing her practice of this walking qigong for 2 hours a day. In 6 months her cancer had subsided.
From her experience she believed that this qi gong could help others so in 1970 she began giving lessons in what she called New Qi Gong Therapy. She gave free lessons in the park. The doctors at Beijing hospital noted that some of their cancer patients had tumors that became smaller and some had complete remission. At first they attributed this to spontaneous healing or a fluke but as the numbers increased and the patients reported that they had all studied the walking qigong they decided to investigate it. With Guo Lin’s cooperation patients with various kinds of cancer were randomly assigned to study with her and do the qigong walking. With a positive and significant outcome Beijing Hospital set up a department of Qigong and asked her to head it. Then other hospitals in China also added qigong departments.
Until her death in 1984 she worked tirelessly, curing hundreds of cancer patients, while easing the pain and prolonging the lives of thousands more. With the nine assistants she had trained, Guo Lin held nine cancer classes of seventy students each, meeting three times a day. She traveled all over China to twenty provincial capitals to teach this qigong. She became a national celebrity establishing Cancer Recovery Clubs which still exist today with people coming together for daily practice. She died in 1984 (twenty years after her life had been given up by Western medicine). Her qigong combined relaxation (sung jing), concentration (yi lian), and breathing (tiao hsi) and movement.
What is the Anti-Cancer Walking Qigong?
The defend against cancer walk is a medical qigong exercise. "Qi" means energy/life force. "Gong" means cultivation so qigong means cultivation of life force/energy. According to Chinese medicine stagnant qi, blocked energy, can create an environment for cancer and chronic illness. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, when qi (life force energy) and blood are flowing freely, the body will be balanced and disease will disappear. By practicing qigong, qi, oxygen and blood circulation are improved, meridians are opened allowing unimpeded flow of qi and blood. An insufficient supply of oxygen can increase the growth of cancer. When the body is rich in oxygen, the cancer cells can die. In ancient Taoist text, “Blood is the mother of Qi while Qi is the commander of blood." Per research "there is an increased efficiency of cell metabolism and tissue regeneration through increased circulation of oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the brain, organs." The more one practices qi gong, the greater the oxygen content in the body. Psychologically instead of feeling like a cancer victim people can do something to empower themselves emotionally and physically. You will learn a special walking and breathing pattern, posture and mental concentration.
