MD Anderson’s Integrative Medicine Program Shows Success in Qigong Study Posted Thursday , May 23,2013 The Integrative Medicine Program at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center is a program in which studies are done on integrative medicine for cancer patients. Integrative medicine is one in which the whole-body approach is used to treat a disease, in which some holistic ancient forms of alternative therapies are used in conjunction with traditional western medicine. Dr. Lorenzon Cohen, professor at M.D. Anderson’s Departments of General Oncology and Behavioral Science and director of the Integrative Medicine Program, describes integrative medicine in The Houston Chronicle: “We focus on the relation between the practitioner and the patients, and we are informed by evidence – we don’t want to be prescribing things to our patients for which there is no evidence of safety or of benefit. Also, in integrative medicine we seek to make use of all possible avenues for healing that may work.” This differs from both alternative medicine and complimentary medicine – the former uses holistic treatments in place of traditional medical treatments, while the latter is similar to integrative medicine but uses even unproven types of alternative medicine as long as it does no harm to the patient (such as having a patient maintain a certain healthy diet that is not proven to be effective on healing). By combining only methods of treatment for patients that have been shown to have positive results, they are able to offer a more effective treatment regimen. As stated on the website, the MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Integrative Medicine Program seeks to “engage patients with cancer and their families to become active partners in their own physical, psycho-spiritual, and social health through personalized evidence-based clinical care, exceptional research, and education to optimize health, quality of life, and clinical outcomes across the cancer continuum.” In one recent successful study performed by Cohen and his colleagues, 96 Chinese women in Shanghai with breast cancer were evaluated as they received a course of radiation as well as followed up with over time to determine the true long-term effects of the treatment. The women were randomized and some used Qigong, an ancient Chinese mind-body practice which involves meditation, while the others did not. In the women who practiced Qigong, depression was lessened over time, particularly in those women whose depression was the highest in the beginning. The women who did not practice Qigong saw no difference in their level of depression over time. The results show that this type of integrative medicine can reduce the stress on cancer patients, and this can potentially promote healing. As Cohen says, “It is important for cancer patients to manage stress because it can have a profoundly negative effect on biological systems and inflammatory profiles.” Qigong (meaning in English “energy cultivation” or “working with the life energy”) is a ritual that involves physical exercises and meditative breathing related to tai chi. Its ancient practice is based in the belief that the body is made up of energy (called “qi”) and that regulating this energy can enhance and promote health within the body. The success of this recent study by the Integrative Medicine Program at MD Anderson Cancer Center along with other studies will no doubt lead to encouragement of integrative therapy and a whole-body approach to healing for cancer patients.

郭林新気功は、中国でがん治療として開発された気功。同講座は、ことし上海癌クラブ副秘書長、上海癌学校の副校長を務める盧慧妍（ろけいけん）さんを三条市に招き、「郭林新気功」（抗癌功法）の講習会を行うための導入講座として、2月、3月、4月に開く。

初回2月は11、12の2日間の講座で、初日11日は午後1時から5時まで、12日は午前9時から正午までで開く。講師は、郭林新気功慧心会指導員、双葉町気功教室指導員の朝田龍飛さんをはじめ、埼玉県に避難している双葉町や富岡町の慧心会会員も参加する。

主催の三条気功の会代表の佐竹さんは、南相馬市小高区から三条市に避難している。氣功研究「養生塾」の塾長で、中国上海市の上海市癌学校で気功学の専任講師。NHK文化センター講師、中国で道教系の医療気功を学び、中国で認証された医療気功師、専業は外気施療でがんを専門とする。

昨年3月に三条市に避難してからは、三条市総合福祉センターに開設されていた避難所で気功教室を開き、避難所の閉鎖後も毎週日曜の「朝いち気功教室」や夜コースなどの教室を開いている。

今回の講座は、福島、三条、中国・上海が気功を通じた交流ができればと、三条への礼の気持ちもこめての開く。三条市は中国との交流も盛んと聞き、健康を通じた交流があってもいいのではと佐竹さん。また、歩きながら行う功法なので、ウオーキングをしている人にも興味をもってもらえればと言う。見学は申し込みの必要はなく無料なので、気軽に遊びに来てほしいと呼びかけている。

阻止由壓力刺激分泌的荷爾蒙如腎上腺素等 可以減低乳癌擴散和惡化。

乳癌治療大突破 抗壓藥好掂
2011年06月02日 (12:28 pm) / 最後更新:2011年06月02日 (01:08 pm)

愛爾蘭大學聖三一學院，在治療乳癌研究有突破，科學家發現阻止一些由壓力刺激分泌的荷爾蒙分泌，例如腎上腺素等，可以減低乳癌擴散和惡化。

今次研究調查了愛爾蘭2000-2007年間患乳癌的女性。發現服用藥物，遏抑與壓力相關的荷爾蒙分泌，大大降低乳癌死亡率。

參與研究的Ian Barron博士指出，癌症病人面對更高壓力，導致更多病，使死亡率更高。壓力荷爾蒙例如腎上腺素，是促成癌症惡化的主因。

今次是人類首次發現阻礙壓力反應，可以大大減低癌症擴散。在研究中，在被診斷出患乳癌前，服食抗壓藥的女性，乳癌擴散機會率較低；在患癌後服藥的人，死於癌機會也較低。
