QiGong Study with drugs vs. without drugs

Many thousands of qigong experiments have been performed in China, and an increasing number of western laboratories are also exploring qigong. Experiments may be broadly divided into two categories: A. Measuring the effects of self-healing exercises on the course of an illness. Naturally these experiments must be performed with human subjects. Often qigong is administered as a complement to conventional allopathic (western medical) treatment. For example, in the first two experiments cited below qigong improves the health or makes the difference between life and death among patients being conventionally treated for hypertension or cancer. B. Measuring the effects of External Qi Healing on disease. External Qi Healing experiments may be performed in vitro (that is, in a test tube or cell culture): the qigong master projects qi and attempts to promote the activity of healthy cells or destroy unhealthy ones. Or the experiments may be performed in vivo, in living subjects. Here, as in self-healing qigong, External Qi Healing may be used as an adjunctive therapy or by itself. In vivo research may also include animal experiments, in which the healer attempts to project qi to heal a laboratory animal. These experiments are particularly impressive because they rule out placebo effect, the power of expectant trust. We assume that if a mouse's physiology is influenced by the qigong master, it is because the technique really works, not because the mouse believes in the power and authority of the Master!
