Sure, I used Chinese qigong (internal energy exercises) to help beat four bouts of supposedly terminal lymphoma in the early nineties. Clear 14 years and still practicing! But it's rarely magic and should never be used alone, but as an adjunct to allopathic treatment. As far as the mind causing cancer--there's no evidence. Stress can cause high blood pressure, strokes and heart attacks--a definite link. Cancer is caused either by genetic predispostion or chemical or radiation exposure (cancer rates were one-in-four twenty years ago; today, according to the ACS, one-in-three). Does stress weaken the immune system? Probably. But it's far from the cause of cancer. Otherwise, one-in-three dogs wouldn't die of cancer--and cats wouldn't routinely contract feline leukemia.

But it’s rarely magic and should never be used alone, but as an adjunct to allopathic treatment. As far as the mind causing cancer–there’s no evidence. Stress can cause high blood pressure, strokes and heart attacks–a definite link. Cancer is caused either by genetic predispostion or chemical or radiation exposure (cancer rates were one-in-four twenty years ago; today, according to the ACS, one-in-three).

Does stress weaken the immune system? Probably. But it’s far from the cause of cancer. Otherwise, one-in-three dogs wouldn’t die of cancer–and cats wouldn’t routinely contract feline leukemia.
