NCCAM spin on “Tie Chee” vs Real Taijiquan

5. August 2008 by HealingMindN.

Normally, I don’t mind anyone else’s take on martial arts for therapeutic and health purposes. But when I examined the page on “tie - chee” through the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine website, I had to stop and take notice.

This page on “tie - chee” passed before the eyes of highly degreed health professionals: Gloria Yeh, M.D., M.P.H., Harvard Medical School; Laura Redwine, Ph.D., VA San Diego Healthcare System; Dan Halpain, A.B.T./H.H.P.; Chenchen Wang, M.D., M.Sc., Tufts-New England Medical Center; Adeline Ge, M.D., NIH Clinical Center; and Shan Wong, Ph.D., and Patrick Mansky, M.D.

And, I’m sorry to say, that the treatment of Taijiquan here as an internal martial art is careless. Don’t get me wrong. I appreciate the fact that so many notables respect the healing potentials of this practice, therefore, “tie - chee” is now a verifiable method of complementary alternative medicine. I am completely thankful to the above doctors for this achievement.

On the other hand, I thought that being a degreed health professional meant being detail oriented. That paper on “tie - chee” is far from it. With the high page rank of Tai Chi for Health Purposes on the web, this page would be among the first that people would find during a search - And this page belongs to a highly respected organisation. Therefore, this page would shape public opinion and their perspective of Taijiquan.

I’m sure these are very busy people which is why they allowed so many misconceptions to stand out; they’re just too busy to really look into the history and root of internal martial arts. That’s OK. I’m here to help.

But Rather than start my own taijiquan encyclopedia here, I’m just going over a few errors that stick out like a sore thumb at NCCAM, then I’m going to direct you to one of the true martial arts masters on this planet, my favourite sifu on the subject of Taijiquan, Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming.

First the statement: Tai chi (pronounced “tie chee” and also known by some other names and spellings) is a mind-body practice that originated in China as a martial art…

I used Taijiquan and Tai Chi Chuan interchangeably because they come from different dialects, but mean the same thing: Grand Ultimate Fist. They both sound the same when Dr. Yang pronounces it. What matters are the phonetics - as in the pinyin system of Chinese Patent Herbal Remedies, so it doesn’t really matter how you spell it in english.

Tai Chi and Tai Chi Chuan are not interchangeable. Tai Chi is the philosophy from whence the fist form or “chuan” was created. Taijiquan has only been around for about 1000 years as opposed to about 4000 years for the philosophy. Imagine putting 4000 years of wisdom on yin yang within the flow of nature into a martial art form. The manifestation of Tai Chi into a “fist” form has far more implications than health and self defense. The “fist” form was created to train the practitioner in controlling energy flow, within himself and the world around him.

Now, we are traversing into those esoteric areas of the bioenergetic spectrum. When I talk about psychoenergetics at HealingMindN Power Circle and bioenergetics here at this blog, there is no separation between them. I have both sites at HealingMindN.com and BioenergeticSpectrum.com because there is always a careful balance between Mind and Body energies; they are inseparable.

The real goal of Taijiquan is for the mind to control the body. You’re going to have to leave your decadent western perspectives of the world behind when I say this. Remember, there is an intense 4000 year old philosophy behind that martial art.

As Dr. Yang might say about the basic concept of Tai Chi, “The Mind can go anywhere in the universe at any time and accomplish anything…” Tai Chi Chuan trains the practitioner to actually manifest that philosophy in the real world.

I know this is sounding like HealingMindN concepts, so I’ll pull out a few notes from Dr. Yang’s lecture on Taijiquan. You will notice that Dr. Yang applies electrical engineering concepts to the body, the same as Nikola Tesla did back in his day (Tesla also worked on all kinds of therapeutic energy medicine devices including the first ozone machine); this makes perfect sense because, in the living body, we have all kinds of tissues that have electrical characteristics of resistance, capacitance, inductance, and beyond depending on the bioenergetic functions that need fulfilling.

Resistance (of the body as during muscular tension) = R

Current flux (of the bioenergy {chi} within the body as controlled by breath) = I

Power (overall expression of speed, strength, bioenergy of the body {jing}) = P

P = I² × R

This equation applies to the human body for all the martial arts. Of course, this is only an analogy, not a detailed study of biophysics, but the concept remains the same. As Dr. Yang would say, “No matter if you start with internal martial arts or external martial arts, we all take these different pathes towards the same goal…”

In the case of Taijiquan, we want to decrease (muscular) resistance, R, of the body while increasing the current flow or chi of the body. Since the focus is on internal energy, we can look at the equation from this POV:

P/R = I²

The less resistance there is in the body, the more power we have by focusing on the chi, or internal energy. This is why Tai Chi Kung and Tai Chi Kung meditation are of vital importance to the martial art.

As you are probably already asking yourself, “why can’t we increase both current and resistance for maximum power?” Once again, this is a different path as that equation applies to other martial arts in different ways.

There are two other roots of internal martial arts that have also branched into different styles in the same fashion as Taijiquan: Baquazhang and Xingiquan.

I cannot express my disappointment enough for the NCCAM site by their neglect of other soft martial art styles; it’s like those restaurants that only serve half a sandwich. “Where’s the other half?”

I have to assume that the MD’s and PhD’s at NCCAM are not THAT interested in oriental sports training. That’s OK. They have a lot on their plates. That’s why I’m here.

Here’s a small treatise to help you understand the difference between these popular internal martial arts:

Tai Chi Chuan: When Jing (power) is emitted for an attack, it’s like a whip. Have you seen those MLB players who throw 100mph fast balls? That’s a whip. They would be totally wicked at Taijiquan. During the real martial art as opposed to the slow moving meditative practice, a Taijiquan practitioner can expect to explode on their opponent in much the same way if not more so.

Hsing Yi Chuan: (translates literally as “mind shape fist”) In the beginning of both attacking and defensive movements, the body remains soft so that Chi can be led to the limbs. the body is then stiffened for an instant upon striking to manifest the Jing, so it’s like rattan: Soft at the beginning, hard at the end. You’ve watched pro tennis, right? The players have to stay loose while dodging and shifting, changing direction at any given moment until they actually hit the ball with everything they’ve got. Pro tennis players would be amazing at Xingiquan.

In the power equation as it applies to Xingiquan:

P = I² × R

We have maximum current (Chi) and maximum resistance (muscular tension) to manifest maximum Jing (power). Xingiquan has branched into the more esoteric styles of kung fu like Dragon Style.

To the novice, it might seem that Xingiquan is the superior form to practice. Not exactly. As Dr. Yang would say, “it all depends on the situation.” Taijiquan has a circular attack approach within short and middle ranges. Xingiquan has a more linear approach most effective within a short fighting range.

Ba Kua Chang: (Eight Diagram Palm) The movements of Baguazhang are not as soft as Taijiquan, yet not as hard as Xingiquan and effective at all ranges. Internal Chi and footwork are the main focus of the training. The Jing. How to explain the Jing of Baguazhang: Have you ever seen professional ballroom dancers like on Dancing with the Stars? Pro ballroom dancers would be phenomenal at Baguazhang because it’s pretty much the ballroom dancing of martial arts which is just as fluid and beautiful.

“Where’s the Jing?” You ask? For those of you who caught the performance with Cheryl Burke and Christian de le Fuente where his bicep got detached, you observed “baguazhang” type manuever of Cheryl Burke expressing her “Jing.” If those same pro ballroom dancers focused their energies along martial aspects, they could easily break arms, legs, and who knows what else on their partners.

You know, that power equation, P = I² × R, is an integral of energy flux or electromotive force with respect to the current. If we go back to the original equation:

(delta) emf = I x R

We see that the “Jing” is expressed through the constant flux of electromotive force. This equation most correctly applies to Baquazhang since the Jing is expressed through complex footwork and consistent circular movements. Now you know how pro ballroom dancers can be dangerous.

Two more points I’d like to cover from that NCCAM paper. I’ll just go ahead and copy it here for your inspection:

Some Points of Controversy

As with other CAM approaches, there are aspects of tai chi on which not everyone agrees. For example:

• Since little is known scientifically about tai chi, accepting its teachings is a matter of belief or faith rather than evidence-based science.
• In addition to more traditional styles, some offshoots and blends of tai chi styles have also evolved. There are differences of opinion over which styles represent the “truest” tai chi.

I looked at the rest of the NCCAM site to see what they might be classing Taijiquan with as a belief system. I found 39 references to prayer. I found nothing about law of attraction.

The problem with the western medical perspective of saying that a method is based in belief or faith is that they’re saying the problem never really existed, that it’s psychosomatic, “all in your head.”

This is the regular motis operandi of mechanistic mind patterns: If they don’t get it, and it doesn’t fit into their paradigm of science, then it must be make believe. The problem is that this make believe Taijiquan CAM practice has real results of increasing health. According to the mechanistic mind set, there was never really a physical ailment, that Taijiquan was a great “placebo.”

Do you like that? Those are the kind of attitudes I have to deal with every day.

If you want some hardcore scientific theories to help you understand the workings of internal martial arts, look up precursor engineering on the web. Amazing subject, but difficult to understand, especially for mechanistic mind patterns. You’re an expert in applied physics? Good for you. You should half way understand the subject as long as you don’t cling to Maxwell’s Equations like a baby to his bottle.

As far as “truest” tai chi. I’m not sure what that means. I know Wu Style came first, then Chen, then Yang. I heard that Sun Style is loads a fun because it combines hard and soft styles and I think it’s the newest. But what does “truest” mean?

Think of internal martial arts style like a car. Learning the basic mechanics of driving the car is like learning proper breathing patterns during your exercise. Remember, just because we all have different cars doesn’t mean we all follow different rules. We all have to follow the same rules of the road.

By the same token, your instructor must teach you the “rules of the road” regarding the cultivation of Chi and expressing it as Jing through disciplined practice. Even the hard styles are using the same road, but they’re coming from the other direction by focusing on physical prowness first, then internal energy later. They all follow a true path as long as they include martial morality.

Martial Morality is the intent or “mindfulness” that is trained into the student. (OK, now we’re going back to HealingMindN concepts.) Martial Morality instills purpose and intent in the mind of the practitioner on exactly what he/she wants to accomplish with that art. Those accomplishments must be encompassed by the facets of Morality:

Martial Morality is called Wude. Teachers have long considered Wude to be the most important criterion for judging students, and they have made it the most important part of the training in the traditional Chinese Martial Arts. Wude includes two aspects: Morality of Deed and Morality of Mind. Morality of Deed includes: Humility, Respect, Righteousness, trust, and Loyalty. Morality of Mind consists of: Will, Endurance, Perseverance, Patience, and Courage… (Martial Morality, p.9, Ch.1, Baguazhang - Emei Baguazhang, theory and applications, by Liang, Shou-Yu, Yang, Jwing-Ming, Wen-Ching, 1994)

These important human aspects within martial arts practitioners allow them to transcend beyond any emotional difficulties which may serve as a basis for their chronic ailments; it depends on the person. A sickly person tends to lose one or more of these human aspects. The martial arts instructor is there to help you regain what you’ve lost due to sickness and stress related ailments through physical and mental discipline.

The martial arts instructor is there to help you regain any humanity that you may have lost. What could be “truer” than that?

You know a good instructor by observing their own morality. This is your measure of the “truest” form of Taijiquan or any other martial art: The Instructor.

Colony Collapse Disorder Honey Bee Research

30. July 2008 by HealingMindN.

I’ve done a little research on the problem with colony collapse disorder. There may be a connection between chemtrails and the failing health of bees.

First please examine the data from rense.com per a recent air quality test of chemtrails:

Chemtrails - Shocking Phoenix Air Quality Test Results (extract)
By Ted Twietmeyer
6-14-8..Fig 1 ­ In this chart we see that barium is 278x the toxic limit, copper is 98x the toxic limit, manganese is a staggering 5,820x the toxic limit and zinc is 593x the toxic limit.Noteworthy here is that manganese is an element commonly found in the environment and soil in small quantities. However, manganese is also a toxic element. This element is the black electrolyte material found in batteries (dry cell types) before the advent of alkaline batteries took over the battery market.

Manganese is still used in cheap batteries and commonly provided with remote controls.Barium, copper and zinc are also heavy metals. Copper and zinc are used by the human body’s metabolism but only in very small amounts. Barium is a common contrast agent used for X-ray diagnostic imaging, but it is not used in powder form. It is suspended in a liquid form for contrast enhancement of X-rays to outline digestive tract soft tissue.

Barium and aluminum (more on aluminum later) are commonly found in chemtrail fallout. These two compounds were also described by Dr. Teller in his weather modification paper as two possible agents that could be spread by aircraft into the upper atmosphere. His intention was to use them as reflective agents for sunlight in an effort to reduce global heating… (continues)

Now, please examine the following data in relation to our honey bees:

*HONEY BEES AND BEE PRODUCTS AS MONITORS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL (extract)*

Heavy metals present in the atmosphere can deposit on the hairy bodies of bees and be brought back to the hive with pollen, or they may be absorbed together with the nector of the flowers, or through the water or the honeydew. A number of variables have to be considered when using bees, or beehive products such as honey, to monitor heavy metals in the environment….
http://www.apimondia.org/apiacta/articles/2003/porrini.pdf

Investigation of the use of honey bees and honey bee products to assess heavy metals contamination:

Experiment was carried out using 12 colonies of honey bees bred in hives located near an extraurban crossroad. We analyzed the Pb, Cd and Zn deposited on the bee’s surfaces and the heavy metal accumulation in the foragers, dead bees, honey products and some environmental markers during nine weeks of the experiment.

Results showed a large amount of Zn and Cd on the bee’s surface as a consequence of atmospheric fallout, whereas Pb seems to be either water-extractable and/or likely accumulated in the body of the insect.

Dead bees expelled from the hives displayed a progressive accumulation of all heavy metals during the experimental period. Royal jelly and honey contained large amounts of heavy metals. In particular, we found a linear relationship between Cd in the honey and that found in flowers of Trifolium pratense L.

Results obtained suggested that honey bee products and the examined environmental markers may be considered useful parameters to assess the presence of environmental contaminants, whereas the measurements of heavy metals in the dead bees may be considered a suitable tool also to verify a possible dynamics of accumulation of pollutants….
http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=3212445

This data indicates that honey bees are the most sensitive to pollutants, in particular, heavy metals in the environment.

Optimizing cell preparation technique to enhance adsorption capacity of pseudomonas putida 5-x to heavy metal ions.

A heavy metal accumulation bacterium Pseudomonas putida 5-x isolated from electroplating effluent was used as biosorbent for heavy metal removal from wastewater…
http://www.level1diet.com/863611_id

Microbiologists discovered a while back that different strains of pseudomonas can be derived when subjected to different environmental conditions. What if a strain similar to 5-x has found a way into the bees? According to a few other articles at rense.com, hazardous pseudomona strains have already been found in chemtrails.

*Stinging the Bees*

/..Pseudomonas/, fatal given the right conditions, kills some bees…

“These mites are messing with the honeybee immune systems,” says Fisher. “The bee’s strength is zapped, and it’s hard to fight off even small infections…”
http://www.rps.psu.edu/0009/bees.html

According to the first two articles above, the best indicator of environmental heavy metals are the honey bees and their hives.

Hypothesis: What if the mechanism of heavy metal absorption from chemtrails into bees is through pseudomonas (heavy metal absorbing strains), thereafter, their immune systems are weakened allowing (varroa) mites to attack to make it look like natural causes?

The proof would be the presence of these artificially derived pseudonomas from chemtrails that can infect bees. Pollinating flowers are also particularly receptive to environmental pollutants. (I haven’t even touched on the possible consequences of GMO infections yet!) But flowers affected by environmental pollutants might actually be hurting the bees. The bees may actually be our virtual “canaries in the cave” foretelling of hidden dangers.

A researcher from another group made an interesting point about this chemtrail action on bees being on purpose:

“I wonder if poisons in chemtrails like bromine and even added these suggested heavy metals could be an even worse bee irradiation/reduction process? The would induce a massive price increase in food and thus more world starvation on an evil/painful population reduction agenda? Take the bees out of the picture and no pollination! The only ones with food would be those with stored seed banks like the one discovered in Norway. No doubt they are storing some bee hives there to reboot these crops protected in mountain vaults from genetics,biological, asteroid hit, and poisons… “

It’s possible that Global Bioenergetics has a multi-wave oscillator that kills the pseudomonas:

Good vibrations could save vanishing bees
*Published Date: * 26 April 2008
By Jenny Haworth

/IT IS a mystery that has had scientists stumped. But now experts in Scotland believe they have discovered why bees have been abandoning their hives and vanishing./

/Scientists at the Roslin-based firm Global Bioenergetics think disturbance to bees from mobile phones, radio signals, wi-fi and microwaves is disrupting them with devastating results./

/They think increased airwaves could be interfering with their ability to do the bee dance, which they use to tell other bees where to find pollen./

/Stress caused to the bees by the radiation could be damaging their immune systems, leaving them prone to increasing levels of herbicides, insecticides and fungicides sprayed on crops./

/The scientists are trying out a new device, called a Bioemitter, that transmits electromagnetic waves to provide a stable environment and reduce stress for the bees in their hives, boosting their immune system./

/Global Bioenergetics is about to start trials with bee farmer Brian Poole, from Scottish-Honey./

/Fiona Murray, a political and environmental adviser for Global Bioenergetics, said: “The Bioemitter creates a field in the hive. It inputs a highly specified frequency. In comparison frequencies from things like mobile phones are random./

/The specific frequency shields out the frequency of the mobile phones, microwaves and everything else from the hives, to create a more stable environment in the hive./

/*We can also put in frequencies that are beneficial, to boost the bees’ own immune system.*/

/They are still going to be exposed when they are flying about to the radiation and the sprays that are going on to the field, but the aim is to get their own system to be able to cope with it better.”/

/Previous trials have shown the Bioemitter can also get rid of the devastating varroa mite, which sucks blood from bees and leaves them susceptible to infection./

/It has similarly been shown to destroy red mites, which infest chickens./

/We are creating a field that these parasites can’t live in,” said Ms Murray. “They can’t cope with the vibration of the signal.”/

/The same technique has been used to eliminate salmonella from one farmer’s pig shed in Yorkshire, and the company thinks it has huge potential.

//Now it is trying to secure funding to carry out trials on bees using the device…/
////
http://www.global-bioenergetics.com/
http://www.bioemitter.com/

Microwaves have been implicated in causing colony colapse disorder. What if it’s not just the microwaves, but the heavy metal reaction to microwaves since they are absorbed by certain pseudomonas in the bees, thus using the same concept as the Kanzius machine which heats up metallic nanoparticles using radio waves?

If that Bioemitter by Global Bioenergetics actually emits the MORs (mortal oscillatory rates) for pseudomonas, then couldn’t everyone with Rife type emitters do the same? (i.e. hinging on heavy metal absorbing pseudomonas as the culprit)

It’s possible that this is the normal mechanism that makes the bees so sensitive to heavy metal pollutants. Perhaps, we have the same reason old time miners used to take canaries into caves with them since they would be the first ones to die in a hazardous atmosphere. Now, colony collapse disorder is indicative of the state of our environment.

Thanks in advance,

Arthritis Solution: Tai Chi Chuan

13. July 2008 by HealingMindN.

Tai chi helps arthritis patient

07/11/2008 05:00 AM
By: Marcie Fraser

You may have seen them in a class or taken a class yourself, tai chi an ancient form of Chinese martial arts. Often used for meditation is now used for, medication.

Her name is Lee Shaw; she’s been inducted into the Jazz Hall of Fame.

“When I was five I used to stand there and say, I want to do that,” Shaw said.

Her music fills the room, the notes transcend from her fingers. They move smoothly from key to key, a lifelong passion for music that almost came to an end.

“I damaged the cartilage in my thumb and because the body abhors a vacuum, it sent calcium to fill it up.”There was one period of time when I didn’t think I was going to be able to play again,” Shaw said.

She developed a degenerative disease called osteo-arthritis.

“Typically osteo-arthritis develops as a wear and tear process in various joints. There are some joints that are affected more often than others. For instance, the fingers, the neck, the low back, the hips and the knees,” said Dr. Chris Huyck.

 

 

 

Tai chi helps arthritis patient

You may have seen them in a class or taken a class yourself, tai chi an ancient form of Chinese martial arts. Often used for meditation is now used for, medication.

Symptoms include low grade pain with activity and stiffness. Some folks looking for relief find it with tai chi

“It’s systematically designed to help people with arthritis because the steps are in higher stance than in traditional tai chi, which is an ancient Chinese martial arts form. It’s very fluid, the movements are very circular in motion and they flow one right into the other, ” said Jane Perkins-Huyck, instructor.

“Tai chi is very effective because it is extremely well controlled. The movements are slow, it emphasizes balance and appropriate breathing and it allows patients to use their muscles and tone their muscles without hurting them or harming them, “said Doctor Hucyk.

After a warm up, there are six basic movements. The consistent weight transfer and meditation help the body relax, allowing the muscles to stretch, improving the range of motion.

There is no cure. It affects more women than men. Treatment includes tai chi, certain medications and lifestyle changes.

Shaw found relief, both mentally and physically.

Preventive Medicine: Vitamin D = Sunshine

17. May 2008 by HealingMindN.

According to new research from scientists in Toronto, women with vitamin D deficiency had nearly double the risk of cancer spreading and were 73 percent more likely to die within 10 years. These findings, announced by the American Society of Clinical Oncology, add to a growing body of evidence that vitamin D may play a role in preventing and perhaps limiting breast and other cancers. Researchers have also found evidence that vitamin D may help prevent or treat numerous other diseases, such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, muscle pain, depression, heart disease and stroke.

Actually, if you’ve been keeping up with Dr. Joseph Mercola’s site, then you would see that this is old information. Mainstream media likes to reinvent the wheel just have something to write about, but if you really want to stay up to date on the best health advice, I would have to recommend Dr. Mercola’s site.

Poison Updates on Vaccine Policies

28. April 2008 by HealingMindN.

In case you have not been keeping track, there have been regular updates at the page, U.S. Policy for Vaccines & Drugs Broadly Eliminates Liability; it seems no matter how many flare ups of child autism there have been lately in the U.S., that the CDC officials are just not willing to make a scientific connection to the toxin laced vaccines which may have caused this condition.

We would not have the headlines on this sad state of affairs if the child of one famous couple did not suffer the same fate from toxic vaccines. (Fortunately, the parents, Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey - who are a lot smarter than they look - took steps to detox their child from the heavy metals and the autism gradually receded. Now, CDC doctors are trying to say that the child never had autism.)

Be on the look out for more updates at this page as the child autism cases due to toxin-laced vaccines keep pouring in.
