| Acupucture and Qigong |
| Acupuncture and qigong are Chinese therapies used to enhance one's overall vitality and for treating all illnesses, including cancer. Both methods increase the flow of life energy, chi, and rebalance the body's energy channels or meridians. Acupuncture, by stimulating certain points on the body with extremely fine needles or massage, unblocks energy pathways and allows the chi to flow freely. |
| Acupuncture can also relieve pain. In China, it is often used during surgery, making it possible to reduce the amount of anesthesia needed or even eliminate it entirely. |
| Qigong also cultivates chi. Its movement techniques have been the foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine for over five thousand years. There is nothing like it in Western medicine. |
| Research has shown that acupuncture and qigong have the ability to boost the immune system in cancer patients by increasing overall white blood-cell counts, B-cells, elevating natural killer-cell activity, and stimulating production of red blood cells. 11 |
