Practicing Ping Shuai Gong, A Chinese Exercise and Meditation

Ping Shuai Gong (PSG, 平甩功) is a Qigong exercise which was originated from China several thousand years ago. It makes the mind peaceful and the body relaxed. I’ve heard PSG when I was a kid but never thought much about it. Three months ago my friend, also with lung cancer, showed me the video, and I practiced it twice daily. Recently, I add western meditation combined with PSG and it’s like “a match made in heaven”. Now I exercise the PSG and meditation religiously everyday.

The Stigma of Lung Cancer Hurts Everybody!

When I started advocating for lung cancer, I didn’t understand why the stigma against lung cancer patients is so strong. I didn’t realize what smoking indicates and how this stigma affects everybody. I then connected the dots that lung cancer has the lowest funding comparing with breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and prostate cancer, although lung cancer has the highest death rate.

What Is Really Involved In Clinical Trials?

Since I was in lung cancer land, I most often heard “clinical trials save lives.” I can’t be convinced with the available information to join the clinical trial. So I decided to look for the patients who had “real” experience in clinical trials. I think I found them, and here it is: https://lungcancer.net/living/clinical-trial-experiences/
