Does tai chi cure diabetes

Answer 1

Yes it can, but only at alleged "legendary levels." And by "legendary" I mean, your chi is so strong, you have total and absolute perfect health, like when you were 18 years old, and you stay that healthy, until the day you die. However I will not make the dangerous claim that Tai Chi Chuan is a panacea; now it CAN be, if you have dedicated practice, and watch your general health, but always caring for the body. What I am trying to say is, do not give up your treatments, just because you do Tai Chi, it tooks the old masters decades, years, before they reaped the full effects of the martial art, and even then they were guided by masters. Even master Yang Lu Chan made occassional visits to Chen village to consult with his own teacher, long after he earned the nicname "Yang Wudi" (Yang the invincible). If anything, it is when martial artists reach really high levels of skill, that they most consult with their teachers, similar to how, even though a middle aged man may have much experience in life in general, they will still visit their father for advice. No matter how much experience or skill one acquires, there is always a degree of insecurity, hence the reason the advice of the old is valued. What I am trying to say is, you may never cure it with Tai Chi Chuan, OR, you may pull off a miracle, nevertheless, don't get careless. Diabetes is a serious condition from what little I know of it, and considered by western medicine to be incurable. If you wish to cure it, you will need an extensive regiment of Tai Chi Chuan, Chinese herbal medicine, Chinese accupuncture, treatment with insulin that MUST continue so long as you still have the disease, Chinese theraputic massage, and finally, Chinese chi kung designed specifically to improve health. Most importantly you have to have a humble attitude. In other words, to outright cure diabetes you will need "the works" so to speak, absolutely everything Chinese and western medicine have to offer. I do not know where you live, however if you live in San Francisco, I'd start being nicer to the Chinese American folks who live there if I were you, as their doctors, accupuncturists and massage therapists may save your life. good luck.
