Exploratory
Studies of Qigong
Therapy for Cancer in China
by Kevin Chen, PhD, MPH, and Raphael Yeung,
BA
The authors reviewed more than
50 studies of qigong therapy for cancer in China, in
3 categories: clinical studies on cancer patients, in
vitro studies on laboratory-prepared cancer cells, and
in vivo studies on cancer-infected animals. Most of
the clinical studies involved observation of cancer
patients’ self-practice of qigong. Qigong therapy
is an area that is often neglected by mainstream medicine
and research, but our review strongly suggests that
qigong deserves further study as a supplement to conventional
cancer treatment.

Effects
of Qigong Therapy on Arthritis
by Kevin W. Chen, Ph.D., & Tianjun
Liu
Patients with chronic pain, like
arthritis, are increasingly seeking alternatives to
Western medicine. Many have benefited from acupuncture,
a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy. TCM theory

qi flow. Qigong therapy, like acupuncture, is said to
alter qi flow and strengthen internal qi, either through
self practice or through external qi emission.

Qi
and Bioelectromagnetic Energy
by Randall L. Waechter
The Chinese concept of Qi Energy
is not easily translated into western thought or
language. It has been defined as ‘vital energy’,
‘air, breath or steam energy’, ‘life
force’, and ‘living essence’. Qi is
all of these and none of them. “It is that which
differentiates life from death, inanimate from animate.
To live is to have Qi in every part of your body. To
die is to be a body without Qi.

Medical
Applications of Qigong and Emitted Qi on Humans, Animals,
Cell Cultures, and Plants: Review of Selected Scientific
Research
by Kenneth M. Sancier PhD. and Bingkun
Hu PhD.;
In the past few years, many studies
have been conducted to investigate the scientific basis
of Chinese Qigong and emitted Qi and to document their
medical benefits. Most of this information has been
generated in China and published in Chinese. For the
benefit of Western scientists and medical practitioners,
we discuss selected scientific reports pertaining to
the effects of Qigong exercise and emitted Qi that were
presented at two international conferences held in 1990.

Certain
Physical Manifestation and Effects of External
Qi of Yan Xin Life Science Technology
by Xin Yan, Feng Lu, Hongjian Jiang, Xinqi
Wu, Wei Cao, Zhenqin Xia, Hua Shen, Jun Wang, Ming Dao,
Hui Lin, Runsheng Zhu
This paper reviews a portion
of the data generated via the external qi emitted by
Dr. Yan Xin. According to the different circumstances,
external qi of Dr. Yan Xin can display different attributes
such as being distance transcending, bidirectional,
reversible or targeting. Although external qi of Yan
Xin Life Science Technology has not been identified
with any of the four known and accepted fundamental
physical forces, its influence on physical reality is
robustly confirmed.
