摘要

Human prostate cancer PC3 cells were treated in vitro with psychosomatic power emitted by a Buddhist-Zen Master. A significant decrease of growth rate was observed as determined by MTT assay after 48 hours. These cells also had two- to three-fold higher levels of prostatic acid phosphatase (PAcP) activity, a prostate tissue-specific differentiation antigen. In addition, the treated cells formed fewer and smaller colonies in soft agar as compared with control cells, which displayed anchorage-independent growth. These observations provide insight into the suppressive effects of healing power through the practice of Buddhist-Zen meditation on tumor progression. The emitted bioenergy may be suggested as an alternative and feasible approach for cancer research and patient treatment.

讨论

It is interesting to note that the growth of prostate cancer PC3 cells, although not completely terminated, could be reduced through the application of Zen psychosomatic power alone without any drug treatment. Similar findings have been reported in Qigong studies. Feng et al.(1982) and Chien et al. (1991) all found that the growth of either bacteria or human fibroblastcells in culture could be significantly influenced by the external Qi emitted by a Qigong master. They indicated that certain Qigong masters could emit intentionally two kinds of Qi:“growth” (facilitating) and “termination” (inhibiting) external Qi. These results based on invitro studies support the opinion that certain forms of emitted bioenergy should be recognizedas a kind of healing power; not just psychological consolation, like a placebo, to the patients....(下略)
