Healing From Qigong Practitoners:
Some first-hand accounts of their own healing

“I just had to share this with you. I saw my oncologist today, and he said my bone scan shows my tumor has shrunk and there are no new lesions. Also my ct scan showed my largest spot of cancer about the same, but the smaller spots are gone. He said that for only being halfway thru my chemo, I could not have asked for better results. (Is it the chemo, you ask? Or the QiGong?) Anyway, thanks for your help and your healing. It's working!” -Brenda Hiatt, 1/11/08

“Taking this Zhineng Qigong class has helped me get outside of traditional healing methods used by doctors. It has broadened my perspective on healing the body because the mind is a part of the body. These activities (qigong) have helped me appreciate other facets of healing that go far beyond chemotherapy and radiation. I feel like these practices should be offered for treatment by the hospitals, not as an alternative,but as a prescription. I finished treatment the day before Thanksgiving, and had a follow-up scan the day after Christmas. The 3 cancer spots on the esophagus were gone. I realized that the qigong had brought me to another mental level of understanding, and that the healing of the cancer was not just from the chemotherapy, but it was also about broadening and strengthening my mind.”- Frank Austin -Brown Cancer Center patient 1-14-08

"I have a condition called Dupuytren's disease which results in a thickening, cord-like formation of bands inside the hands, making them contract. I have problems with this especially at the end of the day when my hands are so contracted that it is hard to open them. When I first stared doing La Chi, the sitting mediation where we are moving our hands and chanting, my hands totally opened. Now, with daily practice for about a month, I can put my palms completely flat and open." Sheri Engler 2/2004

“Qigong has been for me a process. Practicing it I have grown to appreciate its subtleties. I have grown within myself emotionally and physically by being more connected to self and my surroundings. I have learned to release pain and absorb more of the joys and laughter of life. The benefits of this have allowed my metastatic cancer to be controlled, reduced, and some spots to disappear.” Jamila Grant, 2004

“Every morning I have a cup of coffee to help my keep my energy up during the day. I noticed that when I do qigong in the morning, my energy stays up without the coffee”.
Rebecca Brewster 2004

“The doctors said there was no treatment that had proven effective for this form of cancer. I started chemo anyway, and four months after doing qigong daily, my tests showed that the cancer had disappeared.’ Faye McDonough. 4/2003
'Still cancer free and full of energy.' 7/2005

Three months after practicing qigong and having individual sessions with Deborah, the over 66 cancerous lesions in my liver had all disappeared but one, and it was the size of a pinpoint. I was Stage 4 with cancer in many organs, and I proceeded with the chemotherapy. I am now cancer free. Zambia Ncrumbra 4/2003

A friend had some serious pain when his gout flared up. He said it was located in his ankle, but once I started he said he felt electricity and warmth throughout his whole leg. After only 10 minutes of La Chi, he said his range of movement was dramatically improved and the pain was mostly gone.I have painful stomach cramps from time to time. I have tried Reiki and various relaxation techniques that don't help much. The last time I had them, I used La Chi and they were completely gone after only a few minutes. La Chi seems very effective for pain. Cate, 2003

"I wanted you to know that I had an allergist appointment about my chronic asthma last Wednesday and I will be going on half the medication I have been on and I had the lung capacity at 122% of someone my age, weight and height without asthma. Dr. Damin kept saying you get an A+ and I hadn't taken my medicine that morning yet when they did the pulmonary functions testing. I am amazed...Now I have to put my intentions toward my weight and other health issues too". Maura 1/4/05
