2. The influence of the immune functions
;
In the control group ,the index of immunity slightly increased after the treatment. How-
ever
» the difference was not significant (P> 0 . 05). In the treating group ,the index of immuni-
ty obviously improved and the difference was significant. (P<C0. 01).
Discussion
;
The short-term effect of the treatment of advanced
gastric cancer by qigong together
with herbs
"Weiliuping"
> was satisfactory. (The effective rate was
22. 7 %) The effect was
better than that of "Tianxian
pill" which was widely used to treat digestive tract cancer at
home in recent years. (The effective rate is only
1. 2%).

FROM MEDICINE OF ORGAN TO MEDICINE OF FIELD
10-YEAR
EXPERIENCE
OF
APPLICATION
OF
QIGONG TO MEDICAL PRACTICE
Ryoichi Obitsu
Obitsu Sankei Hospital Japan
Western medicine proposes that human body mainly consists of organs
, whereas the wis-
dom of Chinese medicine teaches the importance of space within the body filled with various
kinds of concept of elements and energy which endows us with knowledge to maintain the life
and forming the
"field". This "field" has not been explained by physical science
, but
I estimate
that
it
is neither composed of a single element like electricity nor magnetism.
1 would rather
call
it the "life
field''
. Furthermore , if "qi" means the information which maintains the order of
life, the field and "mind" means the expression of one of the elements of fields, it
is obvious
that there are three means in medicine 5 the one dealing with organs
, qi,and mind. On this con-
cept, for cancer treatment
1 have practised holistic medicine , applying Western medicine for
organs, Chinese medicine for qi,and psychological treatment for mind.
I will report the result in 1,768 cases of cancer treatment especially qigong from Novem-
ber 1982 to February 1993.
Method
:
The patients of cancer were treated not only by Western medicine which is the most pop-
ular treatment in Japanese medicine, but also with Chinese medicine which consists of herbs,
acupuncture and moxibustion , qigong and diet, and psychological treatment which means re-
laxation and image therapy. Qigong consists over 10 kinds of means
like Fang-Song-Gong,
Tai-Ji-Quan ,Guo-Lin-Xin-Qi Gong ,etc.
Results
j
1 . It is difficult to express the result of my therapeutic treatment statistically as in West-
ern science
, because the treatment was not applied equally to each patients
, but
in various
ways depending on to the symptoms of the cases. Calculating three-year survival rate in 505

(ii) In the end stage
: 185 cases (11. 9 %)
2. The number of the patients of cancer visiting my hospital is increasing year by year, 54
patients in 1983 to 677 cases in 1992. This fact shows that the holistic medicine is getting ac-
cepted in Japan.
Besides .cases will be presented .which show you more in detail the contributing role of
qigong in the treatment of cancer.

THE CLINICAL REPORT ON 75 CASES OF CHRONIC
HEPATITIS B TREATED BY QIGONG
Shen Fudao
Hubei College of Traditional Chinese Medicine , Wuhan
, China
pince 1989, we have worked out a qigong set to nourish the liver according to the TCM
principle psychosomatic treatment". Meanwhile, we selected 139 cases of chronic hepatitis B
whicji were divided into two groups at random according to the revised diagnostic and classi-
fied criterion at the National Academic Conference on Virus Hepatitis held
in Shanghai
in
1990. 75
cases were chosen
to
the experimental group which were
treated by herbs and
qigoiig. The other 64 cases treaded only by herbs belonged to the control group. 116 inpa-
tient^ of the two groups were treated for more than 3 months? 23 inpatients for 2-3 months
and inpatients with less than two months was not selected to be observed. Each observation
index was checked once each month until they left. The experimental group practised qigong
30 minutes each morning and evening.
The result shows as follows
: HBsAg negative rate of the experimental group was
52.
6%, that of the control group was 28. 8%(P<C0. 01) ?HBeAg negative rate of the experimen-
tal rate was 73. 3% ?that of the control group was 49. 2%(P<0. 01) ?GPT. A/G recovery rate
of experimental group and the recovery condition of the main symptoms were better than
thosej of the control group. It can be deduced that the effect of herbs with qigong to the hep-
atitis B patients is better than herbal treatment.
At the appraisal meeting held by the Educational Authority
, 28th April
, 1992
, all the ex-
perts present held identical views that our research had reached the national advanced stan-
dard.

OBSERVATIONS ON EFFECTS OF 31 CASES OF
DIABETES TREATED BY HUICHUNGONG
Jing Yuzhong ,Liu Xiude,Wang Zhemin, Wang Qinglan,Yao Airong
Shandong Institute of TCM Jinan 250014 , Shandong Province
Laboratory researches and clinical observations of 197 middle-aged and aged cases were
studied. They practised Huichungong exercises
, aiming at prolonging life from 1986 to 1990.
Here is the summary of the 31 cases of diabetes.
1. Body weight; 24 cases had favourable weight before the exercise. There was no change
after the exercise.
2. FBS
: After
exercise blood sugar reduced from
10. 19 + 3. 29mmol/L
to
6. 93 + 1.
98mmol/L ,P<0. 001.
3. Blood fat
; Cholesterol reduced from
6. 75±1. 32mmol/L to 5. 51±1. 16mmol/L ,P<0.
001. Triglyceride; From
2. 80+1. Olmmol/L to
1. 34+ 0. 71mmol/L ,P<0. 001.
4. Syrum insulin test(IRI) :It showed a two direction adjustment after exercise, the aver-
age value reduced from
16. 604 + 6. 005MIU/L,to
12. 62 + 14. 85MIU/L
, P<C0. 05. It
indi-
cates the exercise may improve the biological effect of insulin.
5. Severe obstruction of nail-microcirculation has been relieved greatly.
6. Increasing the level of HDL—C,P<C0. 05
7. Increasing the ratio of APOA—I/APOB,P<0. 001, playing an important role in
in-
creasing the APOB amount in prevention of atherosclerosis.
8. Clinical manifestation
; Strengthening the body resistance , not easy to catch common
cold, free food choice, normal life.
The above shows one year' s exercise has a good comprehensive result for diabetic pa-
tients , comparing individually
it
is much better than the simple drug treatment. It can prevent
complicated cardiac
, cerebral vascular diseases and peripheral vascular
disease. It
is
a new
method in the treatment of diebetes
II without medicament. This paper also emphasizes the
mind concentration and good mental state during exercises may produce a good feedback ac-
tion.

: youngest
: 17-years

the longest was 8 years.
According to clinical symptoms and differentiations of syndromes these cases were divid-

in the fourth. The other 4 cases belonged to the "mind confusion" type.
I treated these patients with comprenhensire measures
, such as the emitted

, massage , acupuncture and herbs and self-practice of qigong exercise.
The average of the treating course was

A CLINCAL ANALYSIS OF CERVICAL SPONDYLOPA-
THY AND ITS REHABILITATION BY TUINA QIGONG IN
267 CASES
Li Xingguang
Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing 100029, China
This paper reports the treatment of the cervical spondylopathy in 267 cases with rehabil-
itation by tuina qigong since 1989. Among them, 86 were males, 181 females. Most of the cas-
es tA^ere females aged from 30
60 years. Course of disease was one day to 30 years. The com-
mon problems were cervical spondylopathy of the nerve root, the vertebral artery and thd
mixed type.
Traditional technique of Chinese tuina must be taken with coordination of qigong
and|
digital pressure to acupoints. The results show
: In the 267 cases, 248 cases
(92. 9%)
were:
markedly improved, 18 cases
(6. 7%) were effective and one case
(0. 37%)
failed. The aver-
age treatments were 15 times.
diagnosis
is based on palpation
, symptoms and signs.
Pathogeny
: The cervical spondylopathy happens due to the change of anatomical position!
caused by direct or indirect injury and retrograde affection.
Treatment
: The
tract on rotation-reduction*' manipulation was used with other measures:
to rejax the muscles of the cervical part and relex the pressure of cervical vertebrae on the!
normal axis and put right the deranged cervical vertebrae and relax irritation of the nervel
root, the vertebral artery, the sympathetic nerve and the spinal cord, making
it return to the
normal position. This rnethed
is a good way to treat the cervical spondylopathy at present.
