The single most important thing a patient can do for healing
Reporter: You had survived cancer without surgery, and without the 2nd round of chemo. Do you think your model would work for other cancer cases?Hsu: My model of holistic healing would work in most cancer cases. Unfortunately, Orthodox Western Medicine was a deep-rooted medicine practiced in almost every where for every Taiwanese doctors, not many doctors and patients accepted my model for treating the cancer cases. However, patients who followed my advice could easily live beyond 5 years after the diagnosis.
Reporter: Tell us, what is the most important thing you did to overcome cancer? Was that your diet?
Hsu: No, not the diet; not the exercise. The most single important thing a cancer patient can do is to overcome his or her fear. The fear itself blocks the healing process of a patient. (Dr. Chen's note: This echos what Dr. Simon says in his book, "The Wisdom of Healing.": If the patient surrenders, and leaves the issue of death to God, he or she has a better chance of remission.) The patient must have the confidence in themselves. Our human body has more than 4 trillion normal cells who fight for you to survive. Let go the fear is the most important step, and probably the most difficult step for a cancer patient. Qi-Kong or breath exercise can quiet our 'Monkey Mind' to reach a peaceful state of mind that would be extremely helpful for healing.
There were 3 major themes for overcoming the cancer:
(1) Respect Life: Normal cells are life, cancer cells are also life. In the Orthodox Western Medicine, cancer is a foe and must be totally eliminated. In my treatment philosophy, we don't need to completely eliminate cancer cells to live. We don't have to. The most important thing we can do is to live, not to kill. We can co-exist with the cancer cells as long as we put the cancer cells in-check.
(2) Protecting the Body: Orthodox Western Medicine only treats the disease. In the process of treating the disease, the Medicine damages the body. In my Clinic, we protect the body so that a patient can sleep well, eat well during the treatment. Sleep and appetite are essential for a body to heal.
(3) Raising The Body Immune System: The treatments that Orthodox Western Medicine practice today suppresses immune system, interfere with patients' ability to heal himself. They are all against the principle of healing.
Ping-Sai-Kong
Reporter: In your book, you had mentioned about Qi-Kong and Ping-Sai-Kong exercise. Can you comment on the so-called Ping-Sai-Kong Exercise?
Hsu: The principle of exercise for health is that the exercise is simple and effective and you can do it at anytime and at any place. I used to play rugby. But, rugby is not the exercise good for our health. During my medical practice as a neurosurgeon, I used to play basketball after 10-20 hours at the operation room. Basketball once a week or once every 2 weeks is not useful for good health either. Moreover, you can get injury from playing basketball.
In doing the Ping-Sai-Kong Exercise, you stand on the floor with feet stay apart approximately your shoulder height. Then you swing your both hands fro and back; every 5 swing, you slightly bend your knee and stand back. (See video demonstration.) The hand and knee motion allows you to adjust your spine. Because all the nerves come from the spine, your healthy spine guarantee your healthy respiratory, circulation, digestion and kidney functions. Furthermore, you can do this at any place and anytime. I told my patients to work on this exercise 20-30 minutes every 1-2 hours.
