Does Qi Gong Cure Immune Deficiency?
At present, there is no evidence to suggest that Qi Gong practice can cure immune deficiency, nor is there sufficient evidence to conclude that all persons with immune deficiency syndromes will benefit from Qi Gong practice. Some evidence suggests that Qi Gong is associated with better overall health and that, in some cases, practitioners have displayed increased immune system activity. Immune deficiency can be a serious and life-threatening condition and it is important to seek out the assistance of licensed medical practitioners. Experts in alternative and Chinese medicine are often trained in or familiar with various types of Qi Gong and will likely know what types of Qi Gong are effective for each condition. It is important to remember that not all types of Qi Gong may be appropriate for persons suffering from immune deficiencies and that Qi Gong is only one part of a strategy for managing and enhancing the immune system.
