奇迹还是malarkey？手臂摆动可以阻止癌症吗？

PETALING JAYA: A miraculous treatment for cancer has been found and it apparently involves the simple act of swinging one’s arms repeatedly for prolonged periods of time.

If science could only prove this to be true, it would certainly spread like wildfire across the world.

For now, the supposed cancer-curing capabilities of Ping Shuai – literally meaning ‘swing hand’ – Qi Gong are only believed to be fact by the most hardcore proponents of the exercise.

Whether one believes in the effectiveness of Eastern medicine and health practices or otherwise, it is undeniable that some people swear by them.

PETALING JAYA：已经发现了一种神奇的癌症治疗方法，它显然涉及长时间反复摆动一只手臂的简单行为。

如果科学只能证明这是真的，它肯定会像野火一样蔓延到世界各地。

就目前而言，平帅所谓的癌症治疗能力 - 字面意思是“挥手” - 气功只被认为是这项运动的最核心支持者的事实。

无论是否相信东方医学和健康实践的有效性，无可否认，有些人会发誓。

PETALING JAYA: Yǐjīng fāxiànle yī zhǒng shénqí de áizhèng zhìliáo fāngfǎ, tā xiǎnrán shèjí cháng shíjiān fǎnfù bǎidòng yī zhī shǒubì de jiǎndān xíngwéi.

Wúlùn shìfǒu xiāngxìn dōngfāng yīxué hé jiànkāng shíjiàn de yǒuxiào xìng, wú kě fǒurèn, yǒuxiē rén huì fāshì.

However, the possibility of the placebo effect being hard at work is always lurking in the background. Then again, scientists have discovered the medicinal properties of several herbs that are traditionally used in Chinese medicine.

Thus, it should be with an open mind when one considers the benefits of Ping Shuai.

The exercise is said to have been introduced to the East by Master Da Mo, also known as Bodhidharma, a 5th/6th century Buddhist monk.

It is a rather simple exercise that can be done by both the young and old.

This is how to do it:

• Stand with legs shoulder-width apart.

• With palms facing downwards, raise both arms to chest level.

• Swing arms in a pendulum-like motion.

• After every five swings, bend knees slightly and spring up quickly.

The exercise demands little use of actual strength and on the contrary, encourages relaxation of the body.

On the surface level, it appears that this exercise does help provide the body with a level of physical activity, and it is simple enough for even the most unfit of persons to do.

然而，安慰剂效应难以起作用的可能性总是潜伏在背景中。然后，科学家再次发现了几种传统上用于中药的草药的药用特性。

因此，当考虑到平帅的好处时，应该以开放的心态。

据说这次演习是由达摩大师（又称为5世纪/ 6世纪的佛教僧侣菩提达摩）引入东方的。

这是一个相当简单的练习，可以由年轻人和老年人完成。

这是怎么做的：

•双腿分开站立。

•手掌朝下，将双臂抬高至胸部水平。

•摆臂式摆动。

•每五次摆动后，稍微弯曲膝盖并迅速弹起。

这项运动几乎不需要实际的力量，相反，鼓励身体放松。

从表面上看，这项运动似乎有助于为身体提供一定程度的身体活动，即使是最不适合的人也可以做到这一点。

Practitioners of Ping Shuai are encouraged to maintain a healthy, preferably vegetarian diet and avoid acidic foods such as meat.

鼓励平帅的从业者保持健康，最好是素食，避免吃肉等酸性食物。

Ping Shuai explained

Qi Gong master, Lee Feng San, expressed his hope that the exercise would become more widespread among the public.

According to him, the exercise, “improves qi (life energy) and blood circulation through the theory of ’10 fingers connecting the heart.’”

Ping Shuai, he said, opens all the meridian points (the path through which qi flows) and stimulates the bone marrow to rid toxins from the body.

The energy flows to the fingertips, then on to the body’s internal organs and brain; opening and unblocking arteries and veins along the way.

Many have since claimed that their practice of Ping Shuai has cured them of a variety of ailments including eczema and backache.

There has even been a fantastical but contested claim about the exercise curing a man of cancer.

The term “correlation does not imply causation” applies quite a bit to the benefits of Ping Shuai.

It is not necessarily the exercise of arm swinging in particular that brings about a healthy life.

It is more likely that the combination of physical exercise and a healthy diet simply leads to a stronger immune system; a medically known fact.

The type of physical exercise, be it running, swimming, jogging or aerobics, would ultimately not matter, as long as it is done consistently and in a safe manner.

By its nature, Ping Shuai is not harmful and is indeed probably a good form of exercise due to how easy it is.

Until the day its cancer-curing capabilities are proven, it would not hurt to swing your arms for a bit to try knocking some chub off them.

平帅解释道

气功大师李凤三表示，希望这项运动在公众中更加普及。

根据他的说法，这项运动“通过'10个手指连接心脏'的理论来改善气（生命能量）和血液循环。”

他说，平帅打开了所有的经络穴位（气流经过的路径），并刺激骨髓排出体内的毒素。

能量流向指尖，然后流向身体的内部器官和大脑;沿途打开和解除动脉和静脉。

许多人后来声称，他们对平帅的做法已经治愈了他们的各种疾病，包括湿疹和背痛。

关于治疗癌症男子的运动甚至有一个奇妙但有争议的说法。

“相关并不意味着因果关系”一词对平帅的好处有很大帮助。

特别是手臂摆动不一定能带来健康的生活。

体育锻炼与健康饮食的结合更有可能导致更强的免疫系统;一个医学上已知的事实。

体育锻炼的类型，无论是跑步，游泳，慢跑还是有氧运动，最终都无关紧要，只要一贯地以安全的方式进行。

就其本质而言，平帅并不是有害的，并且由于它是多么容易，它确实可能是一种很好的运动形式。

直到它的癌症治愈能力得到证实的那一天，摆动你的手臂试图敲掉一些鲢鱼也不会有什么坏处。
