ACHE Research International

Introduction To ACHE Research

ACHE Research stands for ‘Ancient Chinese Human Energy’ Research. However, in today’s more health-related terms, it may also stand for ‘Alternative and Complementary medicine & Healthcare Education’ research.

In the ever-evolving landscape of Medicine and Healthcare, the integration of traditional Chinese Medical practices TCM with modern science is an avenue of immense potential.

Professor Dr. YK. Leung PhD is a distinguished figure in this field of unusual ‘self-healing’ methodology in ancient Internal Daoist Medicine study of Human Mind and Body. He has embarked on a life-time groundbreaking journey of researches and was awarded his appointment as Vice-Chairman of the National Internal Alchemy NeiDanDao Research Institute in Beijing University, focusing on the profound impacts of XingQiShu (QiGong moving of energies) & DaoYinShu (NeiGong manipulating the musculoskeletal system to induce the self-healing abilities of the Endocrine system) of ancient Daoist medical practices.

 His ACHE research team serves as a catalyst for bridging the gap between traditional wisdom and contemporary medical science. Medical professionals should recognise the significance of this integration in providing comprehensive, effective and affordable medical healthcare solutions that encompass both ancient and modern perspectives. It is crucial to explore and understand the implications of Professor Dr. YK Leung PhD’s work, shedding light on how those 5000+ years old Chinese Methodology GongFa or exercises can contribute to ‘self-healing’ practices of holistic medical values and well-being.

Internal NeiDan Daoist Medicine – Learning & Training methodologies – 

 XingQiShu (QiGong) has been recorded in the 5000+ years old Chinese Encryptions of ‘Bone Oracles’ and Bamboo scriptures as a natural phenomena of ‘self-healing’ medical therapy. XingQiShu, often translated as “moving of energies” or “QiGong”, focuses on resonating the body’s internal Qi (Microcosmic energies) with the ‘Heaven & Earth’ energies of our natural inhabitable environment. Professor Leung’s researches emphasise the role of XingQiShu in optimising physiological functions through purposeful 3 levels of synchronised breathing skills. As medical professionals and/or research fellows, we are particularly intrigued by the potential applications of XingQiShu in managing hormonal ‘imbalances’, which are the direct sources of Psychological and Physiological medical conditions such as Drug addictions, Insomnia, circadian rhythms, metabolic dysregulation, Asthma and Eczema etc. In addition, the 3 levels of very ancient breathing skills can also be utilised in aligning the ‘Biological Rhythms’ for Holistic Health of the human Mind & Body.

 DaoYinShu (NeiGong) was the 5000+ years old ancestral wisdom and therapeutic methodologies of the 3 dimensional ‘Internal Musculoskeletal movements’. With its roots deeply embedded in Internal Traditional Chinese Medicine (ITCM), the JingLi mechanical actions of the physical exercises not only arouse the ‘Low frequency Infra-Red heat Internal energy NeiQi’, but also trigger the ‘electrical Neurological energies Qi’ to open up the Endocrine system (3 DanTians), releasing the ‘Internal natural body medicines, NeiDan or Hormones’, to balance the 14 major Organs’ Qi energy. It is only when Life force or vitalities of the vital organs are ‘harmonised’, that human psychological & physiological health statuses can then be maintained. Furthermore, the DaoYinShu mechanical movements also comprise of slow and fast breath controls. Professor Leung’s research explores the physiological and psychological benefits of DaoYinShu, shedding light on its potential therapeutic applications. From a medical standpoint, understanding how the deliberate movements and controlled breathing impact the body’s systems is essential for recognising DaoYinShu as a complementary approach to conventional, non-invasive medical interventions.

A Medical Perspective – Integrative medical healthcare applications

The “Three Laws of Two Opposites YinYang Principles” (Universal Harmonising rhythms) both govern and reveal the Psychological & Physiological Mechanisms of Human Mind & Body.

 One of the compelling aspects of Professor Dr. Leung PhD’s ACHE Research is the exploration of the physiological mechanisms underlying the benefits of XingQiShu ( QiGong) and DaoYinShu (NeiGong) practices. From a medical standpoint, understanding how these practices influence the major Musculoskeletal system, Fascia system, Peripheral & Central nervous system, Endocrine system and the Neuron Pathways, Mesolimbic Reward Pathways  (neuroendocrine pathways), Immune Function and Cardiovascular Health are very important. Professor Leung’s findings and his valuable insights into the Mechanical methodology (Jing), Neurological energy (Qi) & Biological energies (Shen) processes make the Chinese traditional QiFa & GongFa exercises, not just culturally rich, but scientifically relevant for enhancing and improving overall psychological & physiological health issues.

“A Paradigm Shift” – Implications for Patient-Centred Care and Wellness Programs:

 In the era of patient-centred care, the integration of Internal Daoist Medicine methodologies of XingQiShu and DaoYinShu into the mainstream healthcare practices signifies a ‘paradigm shift’ in how we approach patient care. The understanding and incorporating practices that resonate with how individuals on physical, mental rehabilitation protocols, stress management interventions, and lifestyle modification programs aligns with a holistic approach to healthcare are paramount. As medical professionals, acknowledging the potential of all these practices to complement conventional treatments is crucial.

 The work of Professor Dr. YK Leung PhD provides a foundation for incorporating these ancient Chinese exercises into rehabilitation programs for chronic disease management and preventive healthcare strategies. The holistic nature of XingQiShu and DaoYinShu aligns with the principles of patients’ treatment plans and care, emphasising overall quality of life beyond the treatment of specific symptoms.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, Professor Dr. YK. Leung PhD and his ACHE Research team have used modern  medical scientific approaches to ‘decode’ the 5000+ years old XingQiShu (QiGong) & DaoYinShu (NeiGong) practices. The deep level of University research work into these ancient Chinese methodologies open up new horizons for medical professionals who are seeking to provide comprehensive and integrative healthcare. As we navigate the dynamic landscape of medicine, embracing the wisdom of ancient practices alongside modern science is not just an option but a necessity. Professor Leung’s pioneering work encourages us to explore, adapt, and integrate these valuable insights into our medical practices, fostering a complimentary and holistic approach to patient care that addresses the intricate interplay between physical and mental well-being.
