The
Healing Power of Tai Chi and Qi Gong (Qigong)

Western Medicine has
made incredible progress in the last 100 years. Lately, western medicine has
benefited from eastern wisdom as well. Eastern wisdom speaks of the body's
ability to heal itself.
Dr. Roger Jahnke is
a medical doctor living in the US who teaches Tai Chi. He travels the USA giving
lectures and demonstrations of how easy Tai Chi is.
What most people in
the western culture understand about wellness can be broken down to three simple
but universally agreed upon steps to good health. They are:
A Good Diet Regular
Exercise Proper Medical Care when needed
Dr. Jahnke is not
critical of traditional western medicine, but he does focus on the positive
aspects of eastern medicine. He teaches that Tai Chi's simple gentle exercises
are very effective in helping the body to heal.
In the spring of
2002, Dr. Jahnke taught Tai Chi for three days at the Omega Conference held in
Austin Texas. On the second day he told of a documented medical story of how Tai
Chi healed a man who had an incurable brain cancer. He was given a year to live.
His brain cancer was not only malignant, but had expanded into an aggressive
tendril producing network that was close to entwining his entire brain.
Surgery was
impossible and there were no chemo-treatments for this type of cancer.
Traditional western medicine advised him to go home and die as comfortably as
possible. Instead, this man went to China and found a Tai Chi Master who would
help him come up with a diet and exercise program that would release the
body’s inner medicine. He stayed for one year.
At the end of one
year, (he was supposed to be dead by then,) he went back to the top notch
medical team and had them examine him again. They found that after one year of
practicing Tai Chi and eating a special diet, his brain cancer had shrunk and it
had become benign. Because of the change in the tumor, they were able to
successfully use surgery to remove what was left. By combining both eastern and
western medicine, the impossible had become possible.
Science discovers
how Tai Chi works
Scientist have been
able to discover why this ancient but simple set of exercises provides such
healing benefits to the body. Traditional exercise helps us to loose weight and
build muscle. Whenever we exercise, our bodies produces chemicals that are not
produced when we are still. Most exercise causes the body to damage some muscle.
When this is repaired the muscle grows back stronger. The chemicals produced by
the body is the medicine that allows the muscle to heal.
When Tai Chi is
practiced, the movements are so gentle that muscle isn’t damaged. However, the
body still produces the same chemicals as it does during normal exercise. Since
there is no damaged muscle that needs healing, the healing chemicals can be
utilized by the other parts of the body.
Our bodies produce
the very medicine needed to heal itself. Normal exercise produces them and uses
them up. Tai Chi releases the healing chemicals but doesn’t use them up.
Another important
ingredient in Tai Chi is the utilization of oxygen’s ability to heal. During
normal exercise we breathe hard and increase our intake of oxygen. The hard work
causes cells in the muscles to become oxygen starved. The deep breathing
provides the needed healing oxygen.
Part of Tai Chi
practice is to breathe deeply and slowly while performing the gentle movements.
The same principle again applies. The deep breathing provides more oxygen than
the muscles need. The extra oxygen is available to the other cells. This also
helps the heart, brain and other organs to receive a double dose of oxygen and
the healing chemicals, increasing the healing power of both.
Dr. Roger Jahnke has
written two books from the perspective of a medical doctor who has grown up in
the west. His knowledge of both contemporary western medicine and ancient
eastern healing arts is impressive. He teaches a form of Tai Chi he calls EASY
TAI CHI.
