[Extreme Health Preservation] Qigong Cures Diabetic Macular DegenerationAuthor: JEFFI CHAO HUI WU Time: 2025-09-01 Monday, 8:17 AM ········································ [Extreme Health Preservation] Qigong Cures Diabetic Macular Degeneration Diabetic maculopathy, also known as macular edema, is one of the most common and severe complications of diabetic retinopathy. It occurs in the macular region of the eye, which is the central area of the retina responsible for controlling clear central vision. When blood sugar levels are unstable for a long time, the microvessels in the retina can become fragile and leak, leading to retinal edema and even bleeding. If not treated in time, it can result in blurred vision at best, or permanent vision loss and even blindness at worst. In medicine, the treatment of diabetic macular edema typically relies on external interventions, such as retinal laser surgery, intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF drugs, or steroid medications. These treatments often only delay the progression of the disease and are difficult to reverse completely. Moreover, once the macula is damaged, the chances of full recovery are extremely low, with almost no records of complete cures in conventional medical statistics. I have never accepted these external medical treatments, nor have I taken any medication for retinal hemorrhages or macular issues. What I can do is persist in my daily practice of Zhuang Gong, Qigong, and Tai Chi, which I have not interrupted since before the pandemic. Especially in the past year, I have strictly maintained about 1.5 hours of practice each day, alternating between Zhuang Gong, Tai Chi, Tai Chi Sword, and Xing Yi Quan, day after day, consistently without gaps. The results of the eye examination conducted on August 31, 2025, provided me with the most direct empirical confirmation. Before 2020, my fundus examination clearly showed hemorrhages, indicating early diabetic retinopathy. However, in the report from August 31, 2025, the doctor clearly stated: "No diabetic retinopathy observed," "No macular edema observed," with vision stabilized at 6/6, completely equivalent to that of a normal person. This is not vague wording, but objective data from a medical examination. In the past few years, not only have the lesions in my eyes completely disappeared, but even the hair follicles on my long bald head have begun to revive, with clusters of black hair growing back. There were no medications, no external treatments, only long periods of high-quality practice and persistent self-discipline. This is not a coincidence; it is the result of the systematic reshaping of the body's microcirculation, nervous system, and the flow of qi and blood through qigong and standing meditation. I know that such cases are rarely recorded in medical databases, but my experience is right here. I have used my own body to verify the natural healing ability of Zhuang Gong and Qigong on diabetic retinopathy. The retinal hemorrhages have faded, the macular edema has completely disappeared, vision has returned to normal, and hair follicles have regrown. All of this indicates that the human body possesses a self-repair potential far beyond the imagination of modern medicine when practiced with the correct methods and sustained effort. This is not just an individual experience; it signifies that Zhuangong and Qigong may represent a completely new scientific path in the field of rehabilitation for diabetes complications. This is my personal true experience, and I do not recommend anyone to directly imitate it. If an ordinary patient experiences diabetic retinopathy or macular edema, please seek medical attention promptly and receive a diagnosis and treatment from a professional doctor. This record is merely an empirical summary and not medical advice or an alternative solution. From my case, this is not merely a coincidental improvement in health, but a clearly structured and verifiable path: stable blood sugar management, long-term continuous practice of Zhuangong Qigong training, which together have led to a comprehensive optimization of the retinal vascular environment. I have provided a complete empirical process that demonstrates improvement achieved purely through practice, excluding external interventions, which offers a highly valuable reference sample for the exploration of recovery from diabetic complications. Regardless of the medical logic or empirical perspective, this case is worth paying attention to. It indicates that when practice delves into the underlying microcirculation and energy systems of the body, humans may possess repair capabilities far beyond traditional understanding. This does not challenge modern medicine, but rather complements it, serving as a bridge that spans science and practice. Extreme Health Preservation Qigong Reverses Diabetic Retinopathy: A Personal Empirical Study Abstract This article documents a special case of a 22-year type 2 diabetes patient who achieved a natural reversal of diabetic retinopathy through consistent Qigong training. The retinal hemorrhages observed in 2020 were completely gone by the follow-up on August 31, 2025, with vision maintained at 6/6 (1.0), and no conventional medical interventions were received. This phenomenon offers a new perspective on the non-pharmacological management of diabetic complications. Background Diabetic macular edema (DME) is one of the most threatening complications of diabetic retinopathy, caused by retinal microvascular damage due to prolonged hyperglycemia. According to statistics from the International Diabetes Federation, approximately 7% of diabetic patients will develop DME, with a significant portion of these patients ultimately suffering from permanent vision loss. Conventional treatment mainly relies on anti-VEGF intravitreal injections, laser photocoagulation, and other medical methods. Although these approaches can delay disease progression, they are difficult to achieve complete reversal of the lesions. The medical community generally believes that established microvascular damage is essentially irreversible. Case Details My Historical Background · Diagnosis date: Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2003 · Medical history: 22 years of diabetes history · Past medical history: Fundus examination between 2019 and 2020 showed hemorrhagic spots, suggesting early diabetic retinopathy. Intervention Measures The patient has been坚持 daily Qigong training since before the pandemic, strictly maintaining a training intensity of 1.5 hours per day for the past year. The training content includes: · Zhuang Gong: 40-50 minutes daily, focusing on lower body stability and blood circulation. · Tai Chi: Traditional Yang Style Tai Chi routines, focusing on smooth and continuous movements. · Tai Chi Sword: Equipment practice to enhance coordination and the flow of Qi and blood. · Xingyi Quan: Internal martial art, emphasizing the cultivation of internal strength. Results Ophthalmic examination results on August 31, 2025: 1. Vision: Both eyes 6/6 (1.0), completely normal 2. Fundus examination: No signs of diabetic retinopathy observed. 3. Macular area: No edema or exudation observed. 4. Vascular assessment: Fundus vascular health, no bleeding or leakage abnormalities. Mechanism Analysis Based on long-term observation and self-monitoring of patients, Qigong training may promote the repair of fundus lesions through multiple mechanisms: 1. Microcirculation Improvement The static holding characteristics of the pile exercise significantly enhance peripheral blood circulation. Patients have noted a marked increase in the temperature of their hands and feet after the practice, indicating improved peripheral circulation. This effect may also benefit the retinal microvascular system, promoting damage repair. 2. Enhanced Blood Sugar Stability Long-term practice of Qigong significantly improved blood glucose fluctuations. Patients found through continuous glucose monitoring that the glucose curve became smoother after practice, with peak values reduced and hypoglycemic events decreased. A stable blood glucose environment reduced toxic damage to the vascular endothelium. 3. Autonomic Nervous Regulation Qigong training balances the activity of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems by regulating breathing and the state of the body and mind. Heart rate variability data show that after practice, parasympathetic tone increases, which helps lower blood pressure and reduce vascular inflammatory responses. 4. Systemic Effects It is worth noting that the patient also observed other signs of improvement: · Hair follicle regeneration in bald areas, black hair regrowth · Cold resistance significantly improved · Significant enhancement in daily physical fitness and endurance. These systemic improvements suggest that Qigong may have activated a systemic repair mechanism. Discussion The uniqueness of this case lies in the fact that the reversal of the lesions was achieved without any conventional medical intervention. The patient explicitly denied having received any laser treatment, intraocular injections, or oral medication for the retinal lesions. From the perspective of evidence-based medicine, although such cases cannot establish a causal relationship, they provide important hypotheses: 1. Traditional Qigong may influence the progression of diabetic microvascular complications through a multi-target mechanism. 2. Long-term, high-intensity Qigong practice may activate the body's self-repair ability. 3. Improvement of the microenvironment may create necessary conditions for vascular self-repair. Restrictions and Warnings It is important to emphasize the limitations of this case: 1. This is a single case, and the results may not be universally applicable. 2. Unable to completely rule out other potential influencing factors 3. Lack of control group comparison Important Warning: This article is only a case record and should not be considered medical advice. Diabetic patients experiencing retinal disease should first seek professional medical assistance; traditional methods may serve as adjunctive measures rather than alternatives. Conclusion and Outlook This case details the process by which I achieved the natural reversal of diabetic retinopathy through qigong training. Although such phenomena are extremely rare in clinical practice, they suggest the value of further research: 1. It is necessary to conduct clinical trials on the effects of Qigong on microvascular complications of diabetes. 2. The integration and application of traditional health-preserving practices in the management of modern chronic diseases should be explored. 3. It is necessary to establish a more comprehensive mechanism study to clarify the physiological basis of Qigong effects. This case provides a new perspective on the management of diabetic complications, suggesting that activating the body's own repair potential through non-pharmacological means may offer an alternative option for patients who do not respond well to conventional treatments.
