Dealing with Type 2 Diabetes? Here’s Good News on a Natural Therapy that May Help!

A Medical News Today report was headlined “Tai Chi Can Help Control Type 2 Diabetes.”

It described a study reported in the British Medical Journal suggesting that Tai Chi may improve blood glucose metabolism, cause a fall in blood glucose levels, and initiate a reduction in the inflammatory response.

The article states, “The findings of the study indicate that regular Tai Chi Chuan exercise improves T cell helper function of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with an increase in T-bet transcription factor and IL-12 production.

“T cells are a vital constituent of the body’s immune system, which generate powerful chemicals, including interleukins (ILs), which alter the immune response.”

Tai Chi has many qualities that could be good for those with diabetes. Tai Chi promotes microcirculation because of its gentle relaxed effortless movements. It is also one of the most effective stress reduction exercises known. Stress aggravates all health challenges, and definitely aggravates diabetic conditions.

However Tai Chi’s side effects are as important as the above type 2 diabetes research, for a UCLA study found that Tai Chi is a powerful insomnia treatment, and also Tai Chi can boost the immune system’s resistence to viral infection. Why is this important?  Because insomnia and illness strain the body, and a strained body suffering from something like type 2 diabetes already is less strong. This isn’t rocket science.

So when someone with type 2 diabetes practices Tai Chi for the blood glucose metabolism improvement, and the reduction in blood glucose levels, and reduction in inflammatory response benefits Tai Chi can provide, they also enjoy better sleep and improved immune function, thereby having less overall stress on the body and mind, and therefore improving their entire life system’s strength on many levels.

But, the side-effects of Tai Chi are vast and wide. At www.worldtaichiday.org you’ll find a Medical Research Library that lists nearly 100 common health issues that medical research is showing Tai Chi may help with. So if you use Tai Chi for one thing, dozens of other benefits may come your way as side-effects. Pretty good deal, don’t you agree?

This Tai Chi Medical Research Library is the most popular such resource in the world, so if you simply google “tai chi medical research” it should come up at the top of the first page.

Share it with your health care provider, but also with friends and loved ones who may have health challenges they can look up there to see how Tai Chi may help them.

Also at www.worldtaichiday.org you’ll find free video lessons of Tai Chi And Qigong Sitting Relaxation Meditations that have helped people worldwide.

Dragon and Tiger Medical Qigong (Paperback) $39.95 Practiced by millions in China to release stress and maintain robust health, Dragon and Tiger qigong is also used to help prevent and heal cancer and to mitigate the effects of radiation and chemotherapy. Frantzis chose Dragon and Tiger from among several hundred sets he researched because its seven simple movements are easy to learn and offer about 80 percent of the health benefits found in the more complex sets of 50–100 movements.Dragon and Tiger qigong uses simple body movements to accomplish the same chi balancing as acupuncture. Each movement is designed to stimulate not just a single meridian but groups of meridians. In Chinese medicine, the tiger is a metaphor for a strong, healthy liver and powerful muscles, and the dragon is a metaphor for healthy and strong lungs. The Dragon and Tiger form accomplishes three major changes in the body necessary for healing: it releases stagnant chi energy; increases the speed, strength, and evenness of the circulation of chi, blood, and other fluids; and quickly raises the body’s energy levels to boost its natural healing capacities. With over 150 illustrations accompanying clear, thorough instructions, Dragon and Tiger Medical Qigong offers an accessible and effective path to health and healing.

Goodill shows how working creatively with the mind/body connection can encourage and enhance the healing process. This book represents the first attempt to compile, synthesize, and publish the work that has been done over recent years in medical DMT.

This comprehensive book provides a firm foundation for exploration and practice in medical DMT, including recommendations for professional preparation, research and program development. Interviews with dance/movement therapists bring fresh and exciting perspectives to the field and these and the author’s testimonies point to the possible future applications of medical DMT.

Intravenous Infusion Therapy for Medical Assistants, 1st Edition $51.49 This essential publication focuses on what the CMA needs to know about intravenous infusion therapy. Infusion or IV therapy has long been part of the acute care of patients. However, more patients are receiving IV therapy at home, in emergency centers, at infusion centers, and in dialysis clinics. Thus, CMAs often need to understand IV therapy to lay out the equipment, to monitor the patient, to assess the infusion site, to discontinue the infusion, and perhaps even to insert the IV. The purpose of this book is to help you understand the theory of IV therapy. With patient safety in mind, risks, complications, and adverse reactions are discussed in Intravenous Infusion Therapy for Medical Assistants. Giving the correct medication is crucial to the CMA, so intravenous infusion preparations are compared and contrasted. Sidebars of Medical Assisting Alerts and Tips are distributed throughout the text to highlight key safety concerns and professional issues. Each chapter concludes with Review Questions and Activities to ensure that learning objectives have been met.
