Foreword

Cancer is becoming an increasingly important factor in the globalburden of disease. The World Cancer Report states that globalcancer rates could increase by 50% to 15 million by 2020. As manyas one-third of these cancers worldwide could have been preventedby practising healthy lifestyles and diet, decreasing tobaccoconsumption as well as early detection of cancer through screening.

Cancer sufferers, in addition to conventional treatments, tend toseek alternative or complementary therapies. Therefore, it is timelythat Master Anthony Wee of Chi Dynamics International has comeout with this booklet Cancer Care with Chi Dynamics as a resourcefor cancer sufferers. This booklet will certainly be of benefit to allcancer sufferers in their endeavor for self healing.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulateMaster Anthony Wee for his untiring efforts to help cancer sufferersby the production of this booklet.

Over the years, there have been many requests for me to compilethis booklet. I am happy to respond not only because of thesefrequent requests but also because of my fathers experience andvictory over cancer. In this booklet, I will seek to share theknowledge my team and I have acquired. This body of knowledgenow forms an integral part of the application of Chi Dynamics inthe treatment of cancer sufferers.

On the topic of cancer, questions that we are frequently askedinclude:

How can I alleviate the unbearable pain of cancer?

I cant sleep because I constantly worry about my condition which only makes things worse. What can I do to get someproper sleep?

Why do I feel so exhausted every morning?

I constantly feel stressed and depressed. How can I relax?

How do I boost my blood count, as it is low and I havestopped my chemotherapy?

How do I enhance my immune system as I am constantlygetting infections?

What can I do to help bring balance back into my life?

What are the best Chi exercises for me to do now, as I amfighting cancer?

How can I heal myself?

1Introduction

I understand that some foods can cause cancer. What shouldI eat and what should I avoid?

Can electro magnetic waves, chemical pollution, and heavymetal contamination cause cancer?

What are the main carcinogens?

Why have I suffered a relapse?

I want to emphasize upfront that we do not have answers for allthe above questions. However, our experience indicates that thepractice of Chi Dynamics can contribute powerfully in supple-menting primary and other therapies for cancer patients. Weemphasize supplementing because we do not believe that there isany one answer to this very complex affliction.

Why do some people suffer from cancer and not others?

Every person has cancer cells in his/her body. These do not showup in standard tests until they have multiplied into numberssufficient to be measured. For a person that has been cleared by adoctor as having no more cancer cells left in his/her body, it justmeans that the numbers are below what can be detected.

When the immune system is strong, cancer cells will bedestroyed and thus will be prevented from multiplying andforming tumours.

An alkaline condition enhances the immune system - whereasan acidic condition weakens it.

What causes cancer?

Cancer may be caused by many factors in isolation as well as incombination with others:1. Genetics genetic mutation occurs before a cell turns

cancerous. Ones genetic predisposition makes one statisticallymore likely to develop cancer.

2. Environmental factors tobacco smoke (people who havenever smoked cigarettes can develop cancer through passivesmoking i.e. through exposure to cigarette smoke), asbestos,polluted air, water, heavy metals and chemicals.

3. Radiation exposure nuclear radiation, excessive exposure toultra violet rays, cosmic radiation, excessive exposure togamma rays.

2Understanding Cancer

4. Diet unbalanced diet with nutritional excesses and/ordeficiencies.

5. Impaired immune system response. 6. Viruses certain viruses cause genetic changes in cells that

make them more likely to become cancerous (e.g. Hepatitis Band C and liver cancer).

Low frequency radiation (non-ionizing radiation) from sourcese.g. electric and magnetic fields around power lines, infraredradiation, microwave, radio waves, cellular phones and electricalappliances may cause adverse health consequences. The link tocancer needs to be looked into further.

Foods and substances and cancer

1. Foods that feed cancer cells Sugar feeds cancer (sugar provides the base for cancer cells

to form energy anaerobically). Artificial sweeteners are alsoharmful. A better substitute would be natural unprocessedhoney (recent research has found it to be an antioxidant) ormolasses, but only in small amounts.

Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in thegastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. (Certaintumour cells produce mucin, which is important for theformation of tumours and can make them resistant to drugsand radiation).

2. Foods linked to cancer Oils and Fats, particularly when heated under extreme

temperatures and/or reused repeatedly, tend to turncarcinogenic.

Smoked foods, processed meats, salt preserved foods maygive rise to cancer of the digestive tract.

Barbequed foods - polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)are found in the smoke as fat burns. Charred or burnt meatand foods have heterocyclic amines (HCAs). They are foundto be carcinogenic.

Approaches to combating cancer

1. Create hostile conditions for cancer cells.2. Provide conditions conducive for healing.3. Invoke ones inner spirit for survival. 4. Avoid food and substances that feed cancer cells.

Acidity versus Alkalinity

The ancient Chinese concept of Ying and Yang is still highlyrelevant today. Ying is the acidic condition and Yang, the alkaline.There needs to be a balance of both within the body. Acids arerequired in the stomach to digest food, but the overall system needsto be more alkaline for healing.

However, unfortunately, the body naturally tends to be acidic. When we move, lactic acid is produced in our muscles; stress

causes the body to be more acidic; carbonic acid is produced in ourcells and exhaled as carbon dioxide. Generally speaking, the longeryou take to exhale, the more alkaline the body becomes. This is avital principle in the practice and application of Chi Dynamics.

Uric acid is produced naturally in the body and it is well knownthat excessive uric acid causes painful conditions such as gout.

Cancer cells prefer acidic conditions! Conversely, an alkalinecondition is hostile to cancer cells and, thus, conducive for healing.

To create the essential alkaline state, here are some suggestions:1. Eat more vegetables. Generally, the more bitter the

vegetables, the more alkaline the content.2. Utilise external stimulation that induces a positive emotional

state - anything that makes you feel happy, contented,relaxed, carefree, peaceful and calm e.g. meditation,soothing music, humour and other forms of healthyentertainment, etc.

3. Chi Dynamics breathing methods help to balance the Yingand Yang of the body and to maintain the bodys delicate PHbalance.

4. Adopt a consistently positive mental attitude (PMA!) take(lots of) time to smile and to laugh!

To avoid excessive acidity, reduce the following:1. Excessive consumption of deep fried foods and red meat and

alcohol - as they are usually acidic.2. External trauma or events that give rise to negative emotions

i.e. anger, bitterness, fear, anxiety, stress and depression.3. Shallow breathing i.e. upper chest breathing (rather than

deep diaphragmatic breathing which is the key to ChiDynamics).

4. A negative mental attitude keep optimistic look for thesilver lining in everything as it helps healing, whereas apessimistic defeatist spirit retards healing.

Nutrition for healing

There is much truth in the saying you are what you eat (or putanother way, garbage in stays in)!

Nutrition is a broad, essential but still regrettably - too oftenoverlooked and neglected body of knowledge. Much of this has todo with the fact that eating is a key source of enjoyment for themajority - and that the general perception is that healthy foods areboring and tasteless foods! However, we live in the 21st century!With the host of eat healthily but deliciously books and websitesavailable today, having to sacrifice taste for health certainly neednot be the case. Sure, you may still have to move out of yourcomfort zone a bit (and change is usually uncomfortable at theoutset) but arent radiant health and well-being worth it?

So, research and equip yourself with the knowledge needed toimprove your diet. Then act on your plan to eat healthily, enjoyably,inexpensively and conveniently. Practise healthy common sensewithout going over the top and you will be far more likely to livewell.

Because there are many types of cancers, find out the best typesof food and nutrition for the condition you seek to resolve or avoid.Examples of good foods are: fermented foods like Miso(Japanese), Kimchi (Korean), soya products (Chinese), bean sprouts,seeds and nuts.

Emotional well-being

Although breathing exercises uplift the spirit; balance emotions;and deliver a sense of well-being, you may still need to look atother options.

From the experience of those cancer patients we have workedwith, we would strongly recommend that you seek out and interactwith uplifting and supportive people; join a support group withpeople who have themselves recovered from cancer and who cansupport you as you deal with your illness; get counselling fromqualified professionals; go on retreats with people who offersupport in any of these areas and can help guide you through anylifestyle changes you make.

Research has shown that patients have a 30% better chance ofrecovery when they have positive support from others.

Our Cancer Care Support Trainers, besides teaching ChiDynamics Breathing Methods, are also a good source ofencouragement and positive vibrations.

Laughter is the best medicine is a well-known expression.Because it activates the Tan Tien, (a Chi Dynamics technique)Belly Laughing is strongly recommended.

Positive Mental Attitude

Cancer is a disease of the mind-body and spirit and certainly NOTjust the body!

Even at this distressing time in your life, it helps to know thatyou have a choice! You can choose to be negative, depressed andsurrender to your fears - or you can choose to be positive. The lattermay require more effort but you will have a better quality of life!And a far better chance of winning!

Dwell on the positives, be thankful and count your blessings (forthere are surely some!) do not wallow in self-pity. Many havefought and overcome the same enemy you face. It has been done.So, regardless of how daunting the challenges are, your victory willnot be an exception!

Immerse yourself in motivational, inspirational and humorousmatters, including audio-visual programmes. Find out how othershave dealt with and overcome their fears, depression, anxiety,grief and stress during their crises. Adopt, adapt, do and persist.Never, ever give up!

REMEMBER: Cancer is no longer a death sentence! It is anobstacle to be challenged and overcome. Follow and add to thegrowing ranks of those who have faced cancer; decided not tosuccumb; fought; persisted; refused to give up and have won!

Faith can move mountains. Whatever you believe can play apart in your recovery. If you have a faith or a belief system, stickwith it and it will sustain you.

Cancer cells cannot thrivein an oxygenated environment!

The daily practice of Chi Dynamics breathing, exercises andmeditation helps to inject greater amounts of oxygen into your cells.Oxygen therapy is another means used to destroy cancer cells. Ifyou want to enjoy the healing benefits for yourself, learn andpractise the Chi Dynamics methods. By doing so, you will haveyour own oxygen therapy as often as you choose for free!

Chi Dynamics will then help your body to become more alkalineand it will boost your immune system every time you do it!

There are some factors in our lives over which we can takecontrol and change to make a difference. This is one very importantchange we can - and must make!

Ask yourself:How long can I survive without food?How long can I survive without water?How long can I survive without air?

We often change what we eat and drink. Considering the fargreater importance of air, we need to learn how to breathe properly for this will make a vital difference to your health and it will be abenefit that will last!

Get the optimum quality and quantity of air with every breathyou take.

This is what Chi Dynamics is all about.

Chi Dynamics is an Art of generating beneficial and healingenergy through combining the relaxed but focused mind (Yi) andthe body - in harmony. A key objective and process of ChiDynamics techniques is to maximise the beneficial assimilation ofoxygen in the body to promote well-being and healing.

Why the emphasis on oxygen? And what is its relevance to theprevention and treatment of Cancer?

Whilst there are detractors, there is nonetheless, a wealth ofmedical research and opinion that suggests that cells that aredeficient in oxygen are inclined to mutate, whereas cells that havean optimum supply of oxygen do not mutate (i.e. turn cancerous).In addition, cells that are rich in oxygen, i.e. where oxygen-respiration, is ample and efficient, the body becomes energised andthereby tends to be healthier.

In the treatment and care of Cancer patients, Chi DynamicsBlock of Breathing method is highly beneficial, because itpromotes:

1. Pain relief2. Increased energy3. Improved lymphatic drainage 4. Better absorption of nutrition and enhancement of digestion5. Improved disposal of body waste6. Enhanced immune system7. Increased blood and thermal circulation8. Increased release of neuro-chemicals, particularly endorphins

for pain relief9. Better sleep and relaxation

3Chi Dynamics and its impact

on the treatment of cancer

10. Improved sense of well being which helps to alleviate depression, anxiety and stress

11. Regaining and maintaining the balance of Ying and Yang which is vital to sustaining total health of mind and body

We will go into more detail concerning these benefits as weprogress through this booklet.

Getting started with Chi Dynamicsin your treatment of cancer

1. It must be emphasized that Chi Dynamics is not an alternativeto conventional medical treatment of cancer. It is a supple-mentary and complementary therapy!

2. The Block of Breathing method is done in a relaxed state andwill bring about no physical wear and tear. Consequently, asthis is not an exercise that will result in strain or tiredness (but,on the contrary, promotes relaxation and well being) it shouldbe done five to seven times a day for sessions of half an hour oreven longer.

In the beginning, each session should last as long as it takesto feel any of the following signs. These signs indicate properChi Flow (energy flow) through the body. Heat waves - heat flow, from very mild to moderate warmth

coursing through the body, especially the face, spinalcolumn, hands and fingers.

A tingling sensation (pleasant - not pins and needles). A very pleasant bubbling feeling of blood flow just below

skin level; sometimes deeper around the face and head; upto a rippling at the hairline and on the scalp.

Tremors through the body. These may be imperceptible inthe beginning. They should then increase (particularly, withregular practice). Do not fight it. Just let it come. It willbecome more pronounced and you will, in due course, feel apulsing vibration coursing through your body.

3. If you have pain, the pain will ease off. Regardless of howintense the pain is, with correct and regular practice of Blockof Breathing, the pain will go. You should feel: A slight numbness and warmth at the pain site. The pain eases and then goes away completely. A feeling of lightness follows; this indicates the flow of

endorphins, which is a natural and beneficial neuro-chemical. This is the first step towards healing andindicates that you are breathing correctly!

Your breathing becomes rhythmic, effortless, yet consistentand strong. Again, this indicates correct breathing.Do more Block of Breathing to ease this pain. If you

notice that there is a cycle to your pain, start the Block ofBreathing session before the pain cycle begins in order tointercept it. If possible, do not wait until the pain has becomeintense before starting the breathing session, as it will then beharder to concentrate on doing the exercise correctly.

4. There is no harm if you overdose i.e. do too much of Blockof Breathing as there will be no adverse side effects if you doit more than suggested.

5. Emotion controls how you breathe. So, by deliberatelychanging the way you breathe, you can alter your emotions. Toillustrate the last point, think of a time in your life when youwere very sad, fearful, angry or anxious. Recall how you werebreathing at that time. If you can, you will probably rememberthat your breathing was shallow, fast and/or irregular and withno rhythm. This is typical of the way a person in an emotionallyagitated state would breathe.

On the other hand, when one breathes deeply andrhythmically (using deep diaphragmatic breathing) one feelsmore in control, confident, focused and stronger. The latter stateis what we want to create and sustain.

Indeed, there is an old Qi Gong saying: Emotions controlyour breathing. Chi breathing controls your emotions.

6. As we have mentioned above, a positive mental attitude isimportant to promoting and sustaining well-being. Smiling is apowerful therapy. Therefore, when doing your Block ofBreathing exercises, smile as much - and as often - as possible.Smiling relaxes the face muscles and encourages the flow ofendorphins which we need to stimulate the release of in orderto achieve natural pain relief. Conversely, frowning tenses usand thus restricts the endorphin flow.

7. Deep diaphragmatic breathing (also known as abdominalbreathing) does not mean putting air into the stomach area.What it emphasizes is that instead of inflating only the upperpart of our lungs (which most adults tend to do as the stomachin and chest out look is almost universally accepted as being

attractive) when we breathe in, we should breathe deeply intoour lungs, thereby expanding the lungs fully. This could thusbe described correctly as total lung breathing - which is thenatural way of breathing. Indeed, this is how babies breathe.Notice that when they inhale, their abdomens rise rather thantheir chests. So, this is the proper and healthy way of breathing as nature intended.

The mechanics of proper breathing are as follows:1. When you inhale, let the air go deep down into your abdominal

area. This enables your lungs to take in more air without thetension of upper chest breathing.

2. When you exhale, you should squeeze the abdomen backtowards the spine, for in doing so the diaphragm is pushedupwards and stale air is expelled from the bottom of the lungs.Think of your torso as a pair of bellows. In order to take in moreclean air, you need to expel as much as possible of the staleair. In order to do the latter, squeeze your bellows fully onexhalation.

This way of breathing is, therefore, absolutely efficient. Itensures that every intake brings in more fresh air and that allstale air is expelled.

inhale exhale

Special Points to bear in mind before starting

a) Inhalation: When you begin, inhale only a small amount of air.Just inhale enough to comfortably move your diaphragm (i.e.the stomach area just below your solar plexus). Do NOT tryto take too much in! In this case, less is more. The aim is torelax and be comfortable. Even a little air will be sufficient toenhance the Chi flow. When you have become comfortable with the deepdiaphragmatic breathing technique, you may then inhale a littlemore. However, never over inhale to the point you feel light inthe head or any clear discomfort.

b) Complete exhalation is vital! Your aim should be to rid yourlungs of all stale air every time you exhale so that you can thenfill it anew with fresh air.

The Block of Breathing Method or Chi Meditation Breathingfor Healing Method

NOTE: Use Deep Diaphragmatic Breathing throughout

Step 1 - Preparing and positioning yourself Lie down on your back, or if that is not comfortable you can be

inclined. (The key is to be comfortable). Place a small firm pillow or a rolled up towel under your neck

to support it - as the weight of the head should not be on yourneck.

Elevate your legs to help your circulation e.g. Place them oncushions, pillows or a stool.

As your energy level is low, place a hot pack or a hot waterbottle on your lower abdomen, below the navel. This will helpto bring the heat and energy level up quickly.

Focus your mind on the lower abdomen or Tan Tien, locatedsome 2 inches (5 cm) below the navel. (The Tan Tien is theenergy centre known in Qi Gong as the The Elixir Centre(home of the Chi) and should be kept warm.)

Step 2 - RelaxingRelax and soften your shoulders and upper body. One way toachieve this is to curl forward from the waist, lift each of theshoulders up towards the ears and then roll them forward. Whenyou have done so, lie back and you should find your shouldersmore relaxed. You may adjust yourself until you feel comfortableand relaxed.

Step 3 - Retaining the Tan Tien focusCheck to ensure that your focus is still on the lower Tan Tien. Ifother thoughts come into your head, realise that you have beendistracted and then consciously, regain your focus. Keep bringingyour mental focus back to the Tan Tien. Where your focus is, thatis also where your energy is!

Step 4 - Inhaling Inhale gently through the nose only (never inhale through the

mouth as it is unhygienic). No count required here. Allow the air to gently inflate (i.e. not too much) the lower

abdomen. (This causes the diaphragm to flatten and the lungsto elongate which allows more air to be taken in comfortably).

WARNING: DO NOT hyperventilate i.e. dont breathe too deeplyand/or too fast. If you find that, in addition to expanding yourabdomen during inhalation, your upper chest is also inflating andrising, you are breathing incorrectly. If you continue to do so, it willresult in tension and stress, which in turn, will block the benefits ofthe Block of Breathing exercise.

Step 5 - Holding your breath - The PauseHold your breath for 4 seconds, then in a relaxed manner, Gently draw up the pelvic floor/scrotum, and then smoothly

and naturally tighten the anus. Do NOT strain. This will result in a gentle tilting upwards of the pelvic area.

NOTE: The Pause generates energy and heat that will be usedbeneficially in the next Step.

Step 6 - Exhaling (pursed lip exhalation) Pucker your lips as though you are preparing to whistle.

Exhale by blowing through your pursed lips gently and evenlyfor 6 seconds. As you get stronger, extend this to 9 or even upto 12 seconds.

IMPORTANT: As you exhale, draw the tummy starting withthe Tan Tien area - back towards your spine. Maintain constantbut not excessive pressure on your Tan Tien (which you mayrecall, lies about 2 below the navel).

NOTE: (a) Exhalation is the most important part of Chi breathing. It acts

as a pump, sending out the heat and healing energy (whichyou would have built up during the Pause) throughout yourbody.

(b) Generally, the longer the exhalation, the more relaxed andalkaline the body will become. (Remember that stress andtension makes your system acidic.)

Step 7 - The 2nd Pause This is the last step in the Block of Breathing cycle.

After fully exhaling, pause for 4 seconds before inhaling again.

Relax the entire lower pelvic area during this (2nd) Pause.Repeat the cycle as in Steps 4 to 7 for a minimum of half an hour

more. Be assured that with consistent practice, the benefits willfollow!

Maintaining and persistingAs with learning anything new, you will initially feel that you arefollowing instructions in a mechanical or even robotic manner. Itwill feel unnatural and you may even feel frustrated as you forgetthe steps or the finer points for correct technique.

This is only normal and to be expected. Do not let it dissuadeyou from continuing, for it will pass.

As you continue to practise, it will become more and morenatural and rhythmic and your ability to focus on your Tan Tienwill become easier.

Remember, Rome was not built in a day! Things take time. Butyou will be amazed at how quickly the technique and with it, thebenefits will come.

When you start feeling tired, dont fight it. Just allow yourself togo to sleep. Tiredness is merely your bodys way of letting youknow that it needs to rest and recover. Being at rest is in itself aself-healing state! When you awaken or become alert again, justcontinue with your Block of Breathing.

Summary: Sensations that you may feel while doing the correctBlock of Breathing

You will know that you have done a good Chi Breathing session,when you feel in your body the following sensations (these aregeneral indications although individual experiences may vary):

Heat FlowWaves of heat flow, from very mild to moderate warmth, coursingthrough the body, especially the face, spinal column, hands andfingers. (Peripheral circulation is enhanced).

Tingling sensation A pleasant feeling, not pins and needles.

Bubbling feelingA very pleasant bubbling feeling of energised blood flow felt just

below skin level. It will sometimes be felt deeper around the faceand head and there may also be a rippling sensation at the hairlineand scalp.

Tremors through the bodyInitially, a slight feeling of tremors will be felt. Again, do not fightit. Just let it come. It will become more pronounced as it developsinto a stronger vibration-like sensation.

1. De-stressing Exercises

Stress causes acidity, which is a state that is not conducive tohealing and recovery. The following exercises are simple therapies,which can help to reduce stress.

a) Eye Point / Facial StimulationIn this exercise, by applying the principle of Acu-Pressure, westimulate the optic nerves and certain muscles around the eyesocket as well as some facial muscles. This exercise can also helpreduce the attendant symptoms of headaches and eyestrain.

Method:Rub the palms together and when the palms and fingers feel warm,begin stimulating the eye points (close to the edge of the socketthroughout) and facial points. Acu-Pressure is applied using thefingers to press and gently thread on the points (using smoothcircular/rotational movements) as highlighted in the diagrambelow. Inside corner of the eyebrow Middle of the eyebrow Outer corner of the eyebrow Directly below the centre of the eye The hollow part below the cheek bone. Between the nose and upper lip. Cup the eyes after rubbing the palms together.

b) Stimulation of the Reflex Points of the EarsRub the palms together and when the palms and fingers feel warm,squeeze and massage all parts of both ears until they feel warm andtingling.

2. Detoxification Exercises

The following Lymphatic Drainage Chi exercises have beenspecifically designed for this essential purpose of detoxification.The body will recover faster without toxins. Detoxification is partand parcel of helping the process of healing and recovery andmaintaining robust health, even in those who have fully recovered.

a) Stimulation Lymphatic Drainage of the Arms and Legs using Slapping Stimulation Method

Slapping Stimulation method uses the open palms to gently slapdown the outer side of your arms, then up on the inner side of yourarms, including the armpits.

Next gently slap your legs down on the outside and up on theinside.

c) Stimulation of the Head using The Percussion Method

Rub the palms together again. Using your fingertips, tap over thetop and sides of your head.

b) Lymphatic Stretch Over-Arm MovementsThis is best done after the Block of Breathing. It can be done inlying, sitting or standing positions. The main emphasis is to stretchthe arms and the hands over the head as far as is comfortable, tostimulate the lymphatic nodes along the neck and the armpits. It isby doing these over arm actions that drainage can be activated andthus help drain the lymphatic fluids.

1. Start with the hands in the prayer position palms together infront of your mid-section. Breathe into your lower abdomen,hold for 4 seconds. During the hold, lift the hands above thehead, bending your elbows slightly or more if you find itstrenuous. Remember not to strain!

2. Exhale by blowing out as in the Block of Breathing methodand at the same time slowly lowering your hands to your mid-section.

3. Pause for 4 seconds before starting all over again. Aim to do atleast 9 times at each session. You may do more if you feel up toit.

The deep breathing with the abdomen is also an effective way toclear the toxins.

c) Lymphatic Stretch for the Groin RegionThe lying position is best used in this exercise to stimulate thelymphatic nodes around the groin and pelvic regions. This exerciseshould be done with alternate legs or if you are able to, you may tryto use both legs at the same time. 1. Breathe in and hold for 4 seconds. During the hold, bend the

knee(s) and retract the knee(s) to your lower abdomen.

2. Stretch the leg(s) back out while simultaneously exhaling byblowing out for 6 seconds.

3. Pause for 4 seconds before repeating this exercise again. Aim to do this for 9 times each session. This would be sufficient

to enhance lymphatic drainage. (You may do more). This exercise isalso effective in its use to improve bowel movements and lowerblood pressure.

Important points to note for optimal results:1. In each session, continue for as long as you can comfortably

manage. Just do a few and then do so again a couple or moretimes during the rest of the day - especially following a Block ofBreathing session, when your Chi is at its peak and thus thebenefits will be enhanced by the strong flow of energy.

2. OPTIMUM - never maximum! If you strain (i.e. you will knowif you feel discomfort), you may injure yourself - in which casehealing will be blocked. It is far better to do several short

...using alternate legs

...using both legs

sessions throughout the day than to do too much at one time(and suffer overstrain).

The bodys drainage system is for eliminating the toxins andwaste from the body. For cancer sufferers whose immune systemswill typically be in a weakened state, it is so much more importantthat their toxin disposal systems work well. The LymphaticDrainage Chi exercises are effective in invigorating and boostingthe bodys essential self-cleansing mechanism.

Using Visualisation for better focus and concentration

3. During EXHALATION, visualise the energy radiating power-fully from the furnace through your body. Try to intensify theimage of the Chi power targeting, incinerating and totallydestroying your tumours.

4. (2nd) Pause for 4 seconds feel the calm as your Chi continuesits beneficially destructive work.

The Chinese have used acu-cupping (or cupping which is basedon the principle of acu-pressure) in healing for over 2000 years.However, there is evidence that thousands of years before that, itwas already being used (albeit in a crude form) in ancient Babylon,where cave drawings still exist which depict (what appears to be)animal horns being used to suck out toxins and abscesses from thesick. In the 14th century, Marco Polo left China with knowledge ofthe Art, which he brought (mainly) to Eastern Europe. Even there,its practice was not widespread and glass was used becausebamboo, which was the traditional medium in China, was noteasily obtainable.

It has been well documented that proper stimulation of Acu-points on a regular basis improves the circulation. The completecirculatory energy system can be enhanced, by unblocking theenergy gates of the Yang (Tu) channel on the back of the body.This will stimulate the Immune System through the improvedblood flow and Chi circulatory system.

Note: Besides the Acu-cupping therapy, there are other methodsof stimulating the points. To name a few: Acupuncture, Acu-pressure, Massage, Moxibustion, Heat Therapy, and thePercussion method.

Why is cupping still being used even in the face of state-of-the-art advances in modern medicine? Simply put, because it works!Like acupuncture, it certainly has its niche even in modern society.

Its relevance to the treatment of cancer patients is its ability toboost blood count. Cupping as practised by experiencedpractitioners makes use of the knowledge of meridians, channels

and the concept of Chi flow. It relieves pain; enhances blood flow;boosts the proliferation of red blood cells; improves the functioningof the nervous system; enhances the metabolic rate; and helps tostrengthen the immune system - thus assisting the bodys naturalhealing process.

Cupping therapy has often proven to be highly effective in thetreatment of injuries (even old ones) such as whiplash, trappednerves, torn tissues, inflammation, blood clots, deep bruising,depression, etc.

Q: How will I know when I am doing the right thing?

A: If you have pain, it eases off completely - regardless of theintensity of the pain!

You will begin by feeling a slight numbness, then warmth atthe pain site(s). The pain will ease and will finally disappearcompletely.

A feeling of lightness follows and this indicates the flow ofendorphins, a natural pain-killing neuro-chemical, which alsoinduces a sense of well-being. This is the first step towardshealing. This also signifies that you are breathing correctly!

Your breathing becomes rhythmic, effortless, yet consistentand strong. This, again, indicates that your breathing sessionwas correct.

Q: How many times each day do I need to do Block ofBreathing?

A: 1. When you are fit and healthy 1 or 2 times a day.2. When you have a small health problem 3 or 4 times a day.3. For major health problems 5 (minimum) to 7 sessions daily.

Q: How long should each session last?

A: A single Block of Breathing session must be for a minimumof half an hour each time or longer. Initially, you may feel tiredafter starting. If so, dont try to stay awake if you are sleepy.Resume the Block of Breathing when you wake up.

On completion of a session, there should be a feeling of

6Frequently asked questions

(FAQs)

relaxation, calm, tranquility and a sense of increased energy. Asense of well-being, lightness and an inner glow that shows!

Q: I feel tired after doing a session and (or) Im notexperiencing the signs. What should I do?

A: Checklist: 1. Ensure that your shoulders and neck area are soft, relaxed

and free of tension.2. Check your breathing technique. 3. Remember to focus on your Tan Tien.

Q: How else can I experience feedback to know that my Chiflow is improving?

A: At the end of your Block of Breathing session, activate theChi Ball (i.e. ball of energy between your palms):

Steps:1. While still on your back following your Block of Breathing,

rest your upper arms on the bed or floor surface and lift yourhands up so that your palms face each other. (i.e, your forearmsshould be at right angles (90 degrees) to your upper arms; andthe inward part of your upper arms should be touching thesides of your torso, for support).

2. It is important you keep your shoulders, arms, fingers andthumbs relaxed so you feel the Chi flow between your palms.

3. Still using the diaphragmatic breathing, curl your tongue up tojust behind the top teeth and leave it there. The mouth shouldbe kept closed throughout.

4. Inhale no fixed count.5. Pause 4 seconds.6. Exhalation (from the nose) 6 seconds (increasing up to 9 or

even12 seconds)7. 2nd Pause 4 seconds then repeat until you have a strong Chi

Ball between your hands.

NOTE: Feel the sensation between your hands (your personal Chi ball).You may sense heat, tingling, buzzing or pressure as if you wereholding a ball of energy between your hands. Most would describeit as a magnetic force. This is an external manifestation of what hasalready been coursing through your body. As your Chi (heat andenergy) is now built up, you should now use your Yi (mind-focus)to direct the Chi through your body and to areas that needhealing.

Qi (Chi) Gong masters have always taught: where the focus,that is where the Chi will be. What this means is that by doingChi breathing; we generate Chi energy and power (primarily inthe Tan Tien which is the seat and furnace of Chi). However, ourmind mind-focus (Yi), to be precise is the means by which wechannel and direct the energy for optimal effect.

NOTE: Harnessing the power of the Chi Ball for healing

Now that you have activated the Chi Ball, harness its regenerativeand healing energy.

First, place your arms down on the bed (or the floor) with thehands away from the body allowing the shoulders to remain softand relaxed. Keep your palms facing up and you will feel the Chimoving in your body. Let it do its healing work!

Finally, at the end of a Chi Ball session, rub your palmstogether. Make sure each hand moves back and forward, as thisactivates and stimulates both the left and right hemispheres of thebrain.

Since I was discharged from hospital, I had been in unremitting and,sometimes considerable pain, relieved only by quite sizable doses ofmorphine. The problem was I had not been given a proper plan for paincontrol. So, everything was more or less experimentation.

Sifu Anthony Wee planned to attack it on two fronts, deepdiaphragmatic breathing done in a controlled way (CHI breathingmethod) and Acu-cupping.

The first day he concentrated on the deep breathing with walking. Theplan was to use deep diaphragmatic breathing; hold that breath for fourseconds, blow out slowly for six to nine seconds (fully emptying thelungs), then pause for 4 seconds, before inhaling and repeating. As can beimagined, this is rather more difficult when initially both the walking andthe breathing are painful.

Saturday night was not good. Regular fluctuating pain kept me awake,and it was a joy to see dawn finally breaking through the family roomwindow where Id slept in a reclining chair.

At my first session of Acu-cupping, the pain eased in just a fewminutes, and it was such a relief! During the day as usual, the painrecurred at intervals, with Sifu applying more Acu-cupping. On eachoccasion, the pain eased within five minutes. Anthony stayed with us forfive days, and by the time he left there was a tremendous break in my cycleof pain. From my own personal experience this can bring enormousbenefits to patients.

The whole world of medical care can benefit from what ishappening in the wide range of Complementary Therapies,including, very importantly, the techniques used by Sifu AnthonyWee. He has already established and developed the mostenthusiastic and successful Support Group in Western Australia,and is planning to expand to other States and Regions. It is most

important that the orthodox world of medicine, Government andregulatory authorities, look closely at all that can be done to helppatients in all areas of treatment, and especially in pain control. Itis enormously important that all the methods being used by SifuAnthony Wee be closely examined and assessed.

His great talents and skills should be examined and recorded, andassistance should be provided to teach his techniques. His skills developedover 40 years should not be lost. They should be part of Australiasrecognized Health Care Therapies.

Sir William Keys Canberra, Australia (2000)Inaugural Patron - Healing Chi Association of Australia Inc.

Note: Sir William Keys died of Mesothelioma on 3rd May 2000

When diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001, I had a lumpectomy and 3Radiotherapy Treatments. The cancer returned September 2002. This timeI decided not to have conventional treatments again but go for naturalhealing, against medical advice. In October 2002 I went for intensive ChiDynamics training that included the Block of Breathing, Chi Breathingexercises, Acu-cupping and using my mind (Yi). The first Acu-cuppingsession was a break-through. I felt relaxed, I breathed easier and felt a bigchange in my body; the pain in my body eased and emotionally I felt morestabilised. I felt much stronger - strength I have never experienced before.I was calmer and more balanced, yet with an enormous amount of energy.When I saw my doctor again, he was amazed at the improvement in allareas, including my diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma and especiallymy badly prolapsed uterus that had gone back into place (Now I didntneed that operation!) In April 2004 the mammogram and ultrasound testscleared me of cancer. Im feeling a healthy and vibrant person again! Imtraining to be a Chi Dynamics Instructor to help others.

Claire Chmela Perth, Australia (2004)

I was on very high doses of steroids as part of my ongoing medication forHaemolysis as a result of having Leukaemia. I found doing the Block ofBreathing naturally lifted my red blood cell count (from 107 to 137 in 1week)! This enabled me to cut back on the very high steroid dosage whilststill keeping the count up! Doctors told me that the pain I experienced Idjust have to live with. Acu-cupping treatment helped alleviate my painand I now know I dont have to live with it! Learning the Block ofBreathing has been a wonderful way for me to help myself everyday. I feelI have a better quality of life.

Colin Speer Perth, Australia (2004)

In March 2003, I underwent surgery, which revealed a malignant cyst inmy left ovary. Following the first session of Chemotherapy, my bloodcount dropped drastically. I lost most of my hair and my appetite and feltvery sick.

Prior to my 2nd chemo session, I took some time out and for 4 daysconcentrated on my Block of Breathing. What a change! Even themedical staff were surprised that my blood count shot up unexpectedly,instead of down. My appetite was back and I felt well and revived.

Following my 3rd treatment, I was able to go back to my Chi Dynamicsclass and was even able to help others. I was well enough to drive myselfto and from the next three chemotherapy sessions. After each one, I wasable to continue on with my life as if nothing had happened. I even have afull head of thick black natural curls.

During my Chemo sessions, I taught Block of Breathing to othercancer patients who were undergoing the same treatment. I still keep incontact with some of them.

Those of us who experienced greatest improvement were also those whokept positive and were self-reliant. We never gave-up! Im so glad I had myChi breathing and exercises to help me through. There is hope and myheart goes with you.

I am now a Qualified and Certified Cancer Care Trainer in ChiDynamics.

Judy Teoh Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2004)

Terry aged 73 had Colon cancer 25 years ago. It was surgically removedand he was free of it until January 2002 when he had acute pain in thestomach. Examination revealed that he had cancer of the colon, which wasspreading into the lymphatic system. He was unable to have chemotherapybecause his blood count was too low. He lost more than 30 lbs in just a fewmonths and felt very weak.

In desperation he went on Chinese herbs for 3 months. A friend toldhim about Chi Dynamics Breathing Therapy and he immediately agreed totry it. He was taught by Senior Instructors Ong Kah Yong and LarryYong, both volunteers of the Healing Chi Association of Malaysia, a non-profit organization.

Terry said, I was asked to lie down and do diaphragmatic breathingwith pursed lips which they called it Chui Method. The effect was almostimmediate, a sense of well being prevailed after the breathing exerciseswhich I did 5 times a day. My energy returned. Whereas before, I could notwalk properly, after a few months I could even drive myself. Four monthsafter I started practicing Chi Dynamics exercises the doctor whoconducted the medical tests told me that I was free of cancer! It wasunbelievable. I feel good and have regained 18 lbs. I am now joining theChi Dynamics Instructors Preparation Program as I want to be anInstructor to help others.

Terry Tye Sze Toen - Selangor, Malaysia (November 2002)

Note from Sifu in July 2004: During an interview with me in December 2002, Terry, confidedthat the Oncologist did a biopsy, which showed that the tumourwas cancerous and had spread to the Lymph nodes. At that time hehad lost a lot of weight and was so weak that he was hardly able towalk.

He mentioned he was going onto a strict vegetarian and brownrice diet. He was also taking Chinese cleansing herbs that wererelatively inexpensive. There was no doubt in his mind that ChiBreathing was the most important factor in turning around hishealth - a major factor in his recovery.

The fact that Terry wanted to train to be an Instructor to helpothers is a testimony in itself about the benefits he had derived. Hebecame an Assistant Instructor in 2003 and continued to do fivesessions daily of Block of Breathing, as well as a full program ofChi Dynamics movements with Chi Breathing until his death inJanuary 2004 while undergoing a minor operation for somethingtotally unrelated to cancer.

I was first diagnosed with cancer fourteen years ago. There were periodsof remission but it reappeared 4 times, the latest in the form ofLyposarcoma.

I was suffering from severe Lymphodema. My stomach, thighs and legsswelled up to double their normal size. Doctors did all they could: usinglymphatic draining massage, compression stockings and bandages, butwith very little effect. They finally gave up saying that they didnt haveanything else that could help me. Other programs I checked out werebeyond what I could afford to pay. I stayed in bed day and night with mylegs elevated. Finally my Yoga friend (Alan) phoned and told me he wascoming the next day to take me to see Sifu Anthony Wee and Robyn. I wasvery reluctant to go as I had given up all hope at this stage. (The nightbefore Alan came, I thought was going to be my last)!

They started me on Chi Healing treatment; consisting of clearing theblockages along the meridians, Chi breathing energy exercises; Acu-cupping and some inexpensive detoxifying herbs.

Five days later when I woke up in the morning, one leg was back tonormal, my stomach was softer and the other leg was also down a little.After a month, doing what Id been asked to do for myself, along withregular acu-cupping, the changes and improvements were very visible. Ihad regained control over my body again. I was even able to attendRobyns Chi Classes.

The best thing I have found so far to help me has been at Sifus Clinic.There is a warm, compassionate atmosphere with a caring personalapproach.

I was also encouraged and shown how to be in control of my body.Results rely on our own efforts. I wasnt promised anything to give mefalse hope, just shown how I could relieve pain, sleep better, improvelymphatic drainage, be more relaxed, but energised, enabling me to liveeach day more comfortably and to the full, for however long I am given.

Thank you both.

Note from Sifu in July 2004:I understand from the people at Alas Meditation Group that Ala isrecovering very well from surgery to remove the tumours from herdistended stomach and has since rejoined the Meditation Group.

1. High oxygen levels can kill cancer cells. Conversely, cellsdeficient in oxygen may mutate and become cancerous. In 1931,Dr Otto Warburg won his first Nobel Prize for proving thatcancer is caused when there is a lack of oxygen respiration incells - they meet their energy needs in part by fermentation ofsugars (glucose).

2. Sugar feeds cancer cells. Sugar includes refined cane sugar,glucose and fruit sugars (fructose).

3. High acidity in the body encourages cancer cells whereas,alkalinity retards cancer growth. Dr Manfred Von Ardenneproved that the outer layers of cancer cells are acidic. Thesecells produce lactic acid as a by-product of fermentation.Consequently, making your body more alkaline is important infighting cancer. An alkaline state can be achieved through deepdiaphragmatic breathing which promotes a greater intake ofoxygen and more effective elimination of carbon dioxide.

4. A strong Immune System fights cancer. Our Thymus Gland isthe master gland of the Immune System. Gentle exercisescombined with deep Chi breathing, plenty of rest andmeditation help to boost the Immune System.

5. Add antioxidants to your diet to subdue cancer. Drink waterthat is filtered, ozone treated, chlorine-free and alkaline.Natural spring water is recommended as well. Avoidprocessed, oily, deep fried and burnt foods. Phytonutrients,

APPENDIX IIA summary of what cancerpatients/carers should know

found in the skins of many vegetables and fruits (especiallythose with rich hues of colour) are the best naturally occurringantioxidant foods.

6. High levels of enzymes threaten the survival of cancer cells.Enzymes are found in fresh, raw, naturally ripened fruits andvegetables - eat more of these. The Pancreas must produceenough enzymes to digest your processed and cooked foods.Undigested foods are toxic to our Digestive System and ourbodys Immune System has to work harder to get rid of them.

7. Sustained vibration is damaging to cancer cells. The vibratoryflow generated during Chi Dynamics Breathing can thus retardthe development of cancer cells.

8. Heat kills cancer cells. Cancer cells have an acidic outer-layerthat makes them sensitive to higher temperatures. Dr ManfredVon Ardenne discovered that raising the bodys temperature to109 Deg F. by external means for 1 hour could destroy cancercells. However, in practice, this has achieved limited success.Chi Dynamics Breathing and Chi Meditation can result inraising the bodys temperature. This may explain in part whysome cancer sufferers have benefited from the diligent practiceof such exercises, which helps to generate internal body heat(remember - the Tan Tien when properly conditioned andactivated is a potent furnace and source of energy). In anyevent, it should be emphasized that raising the bodystemperature by breathing has no adverse side effects.
