QIGONG' S CURATIVE EFFECT ON LUMBAGO AND
JOINT PAIN
Huang Xiaokuan,Cao Qijian
Health Care Department
, Beijing No. 301 Hospital
They have used their expertise in this traditional Chinese breathing technique to treat a-
cute and chronic lumbar muscle strains, and lumbar vertebral disorders. They treated 106 pa-
tients with very good results.
They had 35 acute patients and 71 chronic patients. The patient's age ranged from 16-
year old to 78-year old. Before treatment
, some patients had endured pain for 28 years while
others experienced pain for only two days.
In general
, averagely patients received 10 treatments.
However, some severe
cases
received
18 treatments
while milder
cases
received only
three.
Qigong Method
According to the degree of pain experienced
, they used qigong through digital pressure to
acupoints, entire body massage, and concentration of mind on specific areas. Each patient re-
ceived 2-3 treatments each week. Treatments varied from 15 to 30 minutes.
Results
*
Through qigong techniques
, they have achieved a success rate of 90/o-By using qigong,
they can reduce muscle pain, and
adjust muscle tension so
that the
dislocated
joints and
musules can regenerate.
Qigong also
is successful in the adjustment and balance of the spinal column so that the
dislocated spinal column may return to a normal position

Although aging
is known as
a natural phenomenon
, it
is proved that those who take
qigong exercise have got good effects on treating their disorders .strengthening their health,
and promoting their longevity. And in our clinical practice, we have also got certain satisfac-
tory results by applying qigong exercise (non-medical therapy)
to treat the disorders of the
retired workers. Now
, we give the primary report as follows?
1. Subjects observed.
There were 200 retired workers, 100 males and 100 females jtheir age ranged from 52 to

76, averaging
65. 7 for males and
63. 5
for females. They were divided
into
2 groups- the
qigopg exercise group and the control group, each group consisting of 50 males and 50
fe-
males.
2. Kind of qigong exercise and the time needed
The main qigong exercise used was Emei Nei Gong
,
(one kind of qigong exercises of the
Emei School), including Anmo Gong ,(a kind of breathing exercise with massage) ,Fangsong
Gong
(a kind of relaxation breathing exercise) and Liubu Yangshang Gong (, one kind of
breathing exercise for preserving one' s health by walking a set of 6 steps). This qigong exer-
cise jwas taken at least half an hour by the group.
3. Methods and results
Besides the clinical observation, superoxide dismultase (SOD) was determined and
it, as
we kjnow,is a multimolecular biological enzyme, which
is not easy to be oxidized and which
can promote the function of cells and prevent them from intoxication by relieving its free rad-
ical $|roup ,thus promoting human immunological function and preserving health. The active
SOD in erythrocytes was determined by using a fast microguantitative analysis, and the result
showed that the level of SOD of the female qigong group was 2718. 15+ 593. 6u/g Hb while
that of the female control group was 1704. 3 + 572. 84u/g Hb
f by comparison
, the mean value
of SQD of the qigong group
is significantly higher than that of the control group (p<0. 001)
.'lhei mean value of SOD of the member in the control group was 1678. 18 + 484. 14u/gHb
whil
1 that in the qigong group was 2740. 85 + 602. 16u/gHB,by comparison
, the difference
was Significant (p<0,001). The result showed that the qigong exercise was able to make our
body
|
produce
an
extraordinary
proteinaceous
substance
superoxide
dismutase
, which
could: remove the other harmful superoxides by dismultation,thus having the effect to keep
our bpdy in good health.
In short, taking the qigong exercise can stimulate the physical metabolism, promote the
circulation of meridians and regulate the flowing of qi and blood
, thus preventing and treating
our disorders and promoting our longevity. In the meanwhile , medical therapy, as we know,
j
can only treat limited kinds of diseases and
it may also produce a lot of side-effect
; and in our
institute, after the qigong exercise was applied and SOD level was determined by the double-
blind jmethod
, the result we got was rather satisfactory. This result suggests that taking the
qigong exercise may keep old man in good health , make them energetic and promote their
longevity. Therefore we suggest that the qigong exercise should be seriously considered as a
subjeqt which is worth further studying.

BIOHOLOGRAPHIC
QIGONG
DIGITAL
PRESSURE
THERAPY IN THE TREATMEAT OF ACUTE CASES
Li Jianhua

Hospital,
Sichuan

The bioholographic qigong digital pressure therapy is a new way in combining the digital
pressure therapy with the bioholographic therapy. The bioholgraphic acupoints of the human
second metacarpalia radius side and the shin flank are regarded as the main points for diagno-
sis and treatment or local massage was applied. The author has applied this method to 200 a-
cute cases,among which 131 cases were cured (65. 5%) >46 cases noticably effecive(23%) *19
cases improved
(9. 5%);4 cases failed (2%). The total effective rate was 98%.
The bioholographic therapy stems from the holography of traditional Chinese medicine.
Its principle of treatment is the magnetic oscillation effect of the body' s biological field which
can adjust the information feedback of the whole body through holographic acupoints. Qigong
has the function of exciting qi, stimulating the circulation of blood and causing the muscles
and joints to relax
, regulating qi and blood and balancing yin and yang. The combination of
the bioholographic treatment with digital pressure to acupoints will greatly increase the ef-
fect, release patients' pain. Such method
is easy in operation under any circumstances and
is
worth popularizing.

, it shows very outstanding differdnces
in statistics. 42 of the 60 cases have been followed up and interviewed for one year, and there
was no recurrance.lt suggests
that
this therapy
is
safe , effective , without

YOUNGSTER HYPROMETROPIA BY QIGONG
Huang Wengguo
Zhoushan Qigong Association, China
To counteract the tendency that the rate of youngster hyprometropia getting more and
more , we've created a qigong set to prevent and cure youngsters'
hyprometropia, based on
the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. Attention
is paid to the whole function and local
function.
The treatment consisted of the emitted qi therapy and self-practice of qigong exercise, so
to succeed faster. The long-term effect is better than the short-term one. Two semesters lat-
er, it was found the complete cure rate was 48. 75%
, the total effective rate was 95%. Under
this qigong treatment , the eyesight of patients improved by an average of 0. 34. At the same
time,jthe normal eyes remained normal and most cases improved by an average of 0. 15. The
exercise was done once a day for half an hour.
This treatment
is not only safe but also simple and easy to learn.

Sjogren
s syndrome
is one of autoimmune diseases. Its incidence inclines to increase in
recent years. There
is no specific treatment for
it in Chinese and Western medicine at pre-
sent. ijn order to explore the treating effects of qigong for this disease, the "Kong Jing Gong"
Training Course was held from Sept. -Dec. 1992. 9 cases of Sjogren' s syndrome were treated
and a pertain curative effect was obtained.
1| Observing subjects 9 female cases had typical clinical manifestations and diagnosed by
parotid contrast and
labial glands biopsy. Of them the minimum age was
year-old, the
maximum age was
67. The shortest course of disease was
2 years and the longest was
years. The Chinese herbal preparation SS-I for tonifying Qi and Nourishing Yin had been tak-
en for: 4—10 months before the qigong exercise was given. Because the curative effect of Chi-
nese herbs was not satisfactory , Chinese herbs in combination with the qigong therapy were
applied during the observation.
2.; Treating methods
: "Kong Jing Gong"is mainly given combined with massage on sever-
al points. The patients did the exercise 1—2 times each day, 30 minutes for each time,
