Qigong for Immune Boost
In this newsletter, I would like to introduce a simple qigong
exercise that can give yourimmunity a boost. This qigong exercise
is extracted from the Shaolin Golden ell!eigong. The teacher who I
learned this qigong from used to work at the "ilin #eople$s%ospital
in &hina. %e did a research on this qigong back in the late '(s
when he wasstill working at that hospital and found those who
practice it regularly, their number of Tcells can increase up to )
times than before.
The T cells play an important role of our immunity. They help
destroy viruses, bacteriaand other invaders, and fight cancer
cells. They mature in the thymus gland. %owever,as a person enters
puberty, the thymus gland begins to decrease in si*e. y the
timesomeone becomes a senior citi*en the thymus gland is so small
that it+s hard to find.
There is some speculation that part of the reason why elderly
people experience moreincidences of cancer and infections than
younger people is because their thymus glandis so small. Some
scientists are trying to discover if the thymus gland can be
regenerated in the elderly people. This simple qigong exercise
may very well be theanswer.
