The Sentient Temple - Western Medicine vs. Qigong

The four major types of treatment in Western Medicine for cancer are surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and biologic therapies. Hormone therapies such as tamoxifen are also available.

Medical Qigong therapy is a form of Chinese Energetic Medicine, and is one of the four foundational schools of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Medical Qigong predates acupuncture by thousands of years. Like Chinese Medicine, Medical Qigong views all diseases as a manifestation of an underlying imbalance. The Medical Qigong therapist uses energetic healing protocols on the client to purge toxic emotions from the body's tissues, eliminate energetic stagnation, as well as strengthen and balance the internal organs. The client may also be given exercise prescriptions, which combine physical movements, breath, sound, visualization, and intention to facilitate the healing in between treatments.

Using an analogy of a plant, the tumor can be considered the flower or actual manifestation of the disease and the root of the plant as the actual root cause or support which feeds and nourishes the flower. Pulling out a weed without the attached roots of the weed, means that the weed will inevitably reappear sometime in the future. Thus, the flower as well as the root cause of the illness must be found and treated, otherwise the imbalance cannot be eradicated and worse yet, the disease or imbalance can be aggravated. Medical Qigong healing protocols and exercises work to get at the root of the patient's imbalance.

The flower with roots analogy is also interesting from an actual physiological perspective, since tumors coop blood vessels and begin to create a feeding system. The diagram on the following page actually captures cancer cells being injected with a phosphorous substance that being to migrate toward a blood vessel and then wrap themselves around it and begin to create their own feeding supply.

One can see that from this perspective, surgery in the absence of other considerations is merely removing the flower. It in interesting to note that ancient physicians and surgeons knew that cancer would usually come back after it was removed by surgery. The Roman physician Celsus wrote, "After excision, even when a scar has formed, nonetheless the disease has returned." Even though Western Medicine may not view tumors and cysts as having roots that need to be eradicated, Western Medicine certainly acknowledges that even cancer treated via the four options, does statistically speaking have a significant percentage of reoccurrence and/or metastasizing years later. All Medical Qigong treatments are designed to determine the root cause of the illness.

A: Implanted cancer cells glow with green florescence protein.
B. Three of the original cancer cells have survived to begin replicating. Signals between th existing blood vessel and the growing cancer cells cause the cells to grow towards the vessel.
C: The cancer cells have reached the existing blood level.
D. When they number only 100 - 300, the cancer cells have created new, fullt functioning blood vessels.

The use of Sound and Color

Central to Medical Qigong therapy, is the use of sounds and color. Sounds are used to break up the tumor formation and any other stagnation or excess that the Medical Qigong practitioners finds. Color is used to tonify any deficient organs and additionally can be used to enhance and strengthen the immune system, which of course, is vital to assisting the body's ability to heal itself.

Fabian Maman is an acupuncturist and a musician well known in combining energetics and sound for healing. Below are the results, using Kirlian photography, of one of his experiments in using sound to break up cancer cells. "For the following experiment, cancer cell type Hela was photographed under magnification. Fabian played the Ionian scale on the xylophone note by note: C-D-E-F-G-A-B and then C and D of the next octave. He took one photograph per minute, looking at the same Hela cells. Fourteen minutes was enough time to explode the cell when he used these nine different frequencies.

Photo 36: D 293.66. It is easy to observe the progressive "destabilization" of the cell structure all along the scale beginning here with C.
Photo 37: E 329.63. With the addition of the third frequency, the cell can no longer maintain its structure. We can see clearly the disorganization of the nucleus.
Photo 40: A440. The pressure of the sound frequencies continue to "push back" the cytoplasmic and nuclear membranes.
Photo 42: C523.25. Explosion of the nuclear membrane.
Photo 43: D 587.33 It took 14 minutes to destroy this cancer cell.12

Fabian has this comment about healthy cells versus cancer cells, "Healthy cells seem to breathe in a way that allow them to absorb and integrate the sound without resistance. They did not appear to keep the power of the sound frequency inside of themselves like the cancer cells did. The healthy cells appeared supple and able to freely receive, absorb and return the sound energy. In contrast the cancer cells appeared inflexible and immutable in their structure."

The following table further illustrates the use of sound in Medical Qigong therapy. These sounds have been effectively used in medical qigong clinics throughout China. Note that each organ resonates to a specific sound that would be used to break up stagnation for that specific organ.

Color on the other hand, is used to fill in space and to tonify. The Medical Qigong therapist would use both sound and color in his healing practice, sounds to break up the stagnation and then color to tonify any deficiencies. Once again, the color is organ specific.

One of the main tools or techniques of the Medical Qigong therapist is to create energy balls infused with either sound or light. The balls of light and/or sound are infused with a specific healing task and then projected onto the patient to perform accordingly. Fabian Maman, performed the following experiments which is energetically similar to the Medical Qigong therapist' creation and tasking of energy balls. The experiment was performed with cotton balls. "Cotton balls were photographed as "Jacques," a healer, first magnetized them while sending energy from his hands to them and added a prayer to the energy. For the second set of photographs sound was added as he said his prayer."14 In this example, the prayer acts in accordance with the same principle as color or light.

The role of Intention and Visualization in Treating Cancer and Strengthening the Immune System

An important tenet that Dr. Jerry Alan Johnson, a Medical Qigong expert, stresses is the concept of "Imagination leading the mind and the mind leading the Qi."; the Medical Qigong therapist as well as the client needs to have a thorough understanding of this concept when performing their exercises. The uses for visualization and intention are limited only by the Medical Qigong therapist' own imagination. Following are several techniques, which I have used for both purging cancer as well as strengthening organ functions.

It is imperative that the Medical Qigong practitioner as well as the client have a good mental and visual understanding of what a diseased tissue looks like and what a healthy tissue looks like. The more they are able to hold this clearly in their mind, the greater the possibility for releasing toxic stagnation and thus ultimately promoting healing. Below is an example of a diseased cancerous lung. A typical way the intention and visualization might be used would be the practitioner in their treatment and later the client in their exercises would imagine the dark qi, which can be identified so readily in the photograph, as being released from the lung and then purged down the arm (lung) channel. With each successive purge, holding in their mind the dark and toxic qi being cleansed from the lung tissues and then finally visualizing the lung tissue returning to it's healthier state, also pictured below.15

Another important example for intention and visualization, would be using the concept presented earlier where the cancer forms new blood vessels and creates it's own feeding system. The Medical Qigong practitioner can use his intention and visualization to imagine cauterizing the tumors from the blood vessels and thus cutting off it's feeding supply. Without a feeding system of nutrition and proper oxygen supply, the new tumor cells will not be able to multiply and/or spread.

Finally, intention and visualization can be used to strengthen the immune system. A healthy immune system is paramount in destroying cancer cells. Following is a scanning electron microscope photograph of a cancer cell being destroyed by cancer-killing Natural Killer T-Cells of our immune system. "If you can get your immune system strong enough to attack the cancer, you can see what happens to the cancer cell. Notice how the cell is completely flattened and totally destroyed. Your immune system has completed its mission towards this one cancer cell. Without a strong immune system, this cancer cell could have become a full-grown cancer. During the killing process, granules in the Natural Killer T-Cell fuse with the cell membrane and release units of the protein perforin. These combine to form pores in the cancer cell's membrane. Thereafter fluid and salts enter the cancer cell so that it eventually bursts. Our immune system is important in fighting and preventing cancer cells from growing in our body. It's known that the average person has at least one cancer cell growing in their body each day. It's our immune system that prevents those cancer cells from flourishing into full-grown cancers."16
