MacArthur Foundation, a catalyst for change, the Nathan Cummings Foundation, and by Mutual of America, major underwriters of group pension plans and retirement savings programs. Where I grew up in East Texas, it was a given that emotions could affect our health. There was always a neighbor who, folks said, had died of a broken heart. Our ministers preached sermons from the book of Proverbs. A merry heart, they said, does good like a medicine. Pleasant words are health to the bones. Health to the bones was a puzzler, because I also grew up with a healthy respect for western science, which taught that disease was caused by bacteria and could be cured by drugs or scappled.

But during the last years of my father's long suffering with pain that no hospital or doctor could fix, I thought back to the folklore and biblical maxims and to the philosophers like Socrates who told his fellow Greeks that the body could not be cured without the soul. What did they see in the natural world that our high-tech age was missing? Why did they believe that intangibles like hope and joy and purpose could help in the process of healing the body? This series is the result of that curiosity. And as I found out in our reporting, modern scientific researchers are also asking the same questions. Some of them think we're on the cusp of a revolution in medicine as important as the discovery of antibiotics like pincillin, a revolution that could take us into the future on the wings of modern science and ancient wisdom. To see what I could learn about healing in the mind from another culture

I traveled to the people's Republic of China. Chinese communism is less than 80 years old. The Chinese way of healing is rooted in an ancient past and it survives today for just one reason. For the Chinese, it works. My traveling companion and guide was Dr. David Eisenberg. Over a dozen years ago, David was the first American medical exchange student sent to China after the cultural revolution. Today, he is an internist in Boston practicing Western medicine and teaching at Harvard Medical School. Chinese doctors pride themselves on their skills in modern Western medical techniques but they do not hesitate to draw up on their own medical tradition. A legacy that is thousands of years old. The Chinese have a different geography of the body.

What I discovered in China was another way of thinking about mind and body, about health and illness and a phenomenon called Chi. The world of Chinese medicine. Beijing, Dojaman Hospital. More than 2500 patients pass through these doors every day. My journey into the curious world of Chinese medicine began here. This is a largest hospital of traditional Chinese medicine in all of Beijing, probably the most famous in the country. All the people in this country have a choice of two completely separate medical systems. Western medicine, which is practiced very much the way our system is, although they don't have all the facilities we do.

This is purely traditional Chinese medicine with a few pockets of Western medicine here and there. But what they want is they want to be treated by herbs or needles or massage or meditation. That's why they're here. So what kinds of problems come in that door with them? Every kind of known illness that we've ever seen in the West walks through these doors. When you came in that door a dozen years ago, did you have trouble entering this world? I still do, 12 years later. They're pulling out the numbers for people to pick up their medicines. This has Western medicine. That says soup medicine. These are medicines, soup. You buy the herbs, this gentleman collects his bag of herbs and you go home and you boil them into a soup. There are hundreds and hundreds of substances back there that people are given as part of their weekly prescription for their severe medical illness.

They are picking up these bags of herbs that they'll boil. What kind of herbs are in there? Tell me, may I tell you all about these herbal medicines? These are all herbal medicines. You recognize these? I recognize the words, but I have no idea what the medicines are. There are 12 of them here. So in each bag there are these 12 medicines. Do you use herbs instead of Western prescriptions? She's also taking Western medicine. So she's taking not at the same time, but Chinese medicine and Western medicine. This is the herbal pharmacy.

This is really the nerve center of this whole hospital. This is where the bulk of all the Chinese medical therapies right here. These look like scorpions. That's exactly right. What other? It is a scorpion. I'm not wrong. Look. That's a gecko, a lizard. That's a medicine. What's the use of this? It decreases cough and relieves sputum. So that one treats the similum. This? This is ginseng root. But it's the cheap form because there are some forms that cost thousands of dollars. Like tea. Like ginseng. That's right. What does it use for? Wait, wait. This is great. This is to increase cheat, vital energy. Cheat. Cheat. The best way we can translate that is vital energy.

The force of life. For the life force? Yes. So that's what they say this does. Will it grow hair? Tofu. Maybe. I don't think so, Bill. I've tried it. This one will. Look at that. What's this one? Dig a shishama. Lujiao. These are deer antler, deer stump of the antler's shavings. What would be western equivalent of this? I don't know about this. No. This is a shaving of a deer antler. How often do you find that? I don't know. But do we know what the chemistry is in these areas? We really don't. But the Chinese weren't interested in the chemistry as we know it. They're not prescribed because of their active chemical ingredient. They're prescribed because one of them increases heat. And one of them decreases stagnation of vital energy. That's the language that they use. It has nothing to do with chemistry. They see the body from a different viewpoint.

To them, the body is based on energy, balance. All these herbs, and this is where most of Chinese medicine happens, are prescribed based on this sense of energy in the body. Cheat, they call it. Cheat. Cheat. This is what they call the boil, the medicine room. That's what it's called. Boil the medicine room. This is as close as they will come to an inpatient pharmacy. Each part has a prescription for one patient in the hospital. Altogether, there are 60 odd pots running at any moment, and every patient in the hospital gets their medicine for the day in these little thermoses. So what's in these pots? Each pot will be 10 to 15 herbs for each patient. This whole style of making these herbs is hundreds if not a thousand years old,

and a lot of these prescriptions are five or six hundred years old. It's the same prescription they used 500 years ago. Is the formula written down? Yeah. Each one looks different, too. Boiling roots, boiling gecko. That's what I cabbage and collard greens. This is more like bacon. What does it smell like, too? I can't describe it. I mean, it smells like everything I've ever smelled. Tea, gum, raisin, root. Have you ever tasted it? Yeah. When? When you were here? When I was here, you know, to understand it, but it is awesome. I'd heard about operations performed using acrystalline. I heard about operations performed using acupuncture needles as anesthesia.

David took me to see one at the finest western neurological hospital in China, Temple of Heaven Hospital. This is what's called the pituitary cellup. This is the area where the pituitary gland sits, and it's enlarged. He sure that this woman has a tumor smack in the middle of her skull. It couldn't be more central. And it's very large. It's about this big, he's saying it's a very large size of a quarter. And what they're going to do is use a combination of some western medicine and acupuncture anesthesia to perform the whole surgery, while the patient is conscious, awake, and able to talk to us. They are giving us some, what we call, western sedative, absolutely. And the point here is that she's using less than half of the amount of drug

that she would typically use without acupuncture needles. And for many patients, particularly patients in a high risk of anesthesia, this has a lot of benefits. Bill, I'm going to try and ask her some questions. Do you hear my voice? Yes. Do you know what they're doing? Are you comfortable? Yes. I just looked into her brain and saw the tumor, and she's talking to you. Open her skull, she has no pain, and they've used less than half the drugs we'd use in the west.

This must be very strange to you. Well, I have lots of questions. The professional skeptic in me says that those herbs work because they have chemicals in them, not because they have cheap. And that traditional medicine is a kind of placebo or the power of suggestion. On the other hand, I've never talked to more credible people than those patients in that hospital and the doctors. So I have mixed feelings. I'm skeptical, but I'm also... Well, I'm open because I think there is something here that might translate back to our society and be useful to us. But when you got here 12 years ago, when you arrived, were you skeptical? Very. I had exactly the same questions.

What was your attitude for traditional Chinese medicine? It was really very simplistic. Does it work? And if it works, how does it work? And if it works, how much of it is the placebo effect? Is it just people's belief or do the drugs work? Do the needles work? Does the meditation work? I asked all the same questions that you were asking. And I didn't know a thing about this cheat, this vital energy. In fact, it wasn't until I was in the traditional medical college here for months that my teachers finally drove at home that the whole system is based on this odd thing called cheat energy. I came here without ever hearing of that before. This is the acupuncture award. But these people aren't here for acupuncture anesthesia. They're here to treat all their different chronic diseases.

With needles? With needles. Tang Wutang Jagat. I asked her if you heard. She said it doesn't hurt. And he said the doctor said it doesn't hurt. It hurts me. It's hard to watch. This woman has what we would call Bell's palsy of separalities in her face. And this doctor who's been practicing acupuncture for 60 years is treating her by putting needles in her arm and her face. Where exactly is he putting them by his light? He's putting them in what he calls the large intestine meridian. I don't understand that. Well, the body in Chinese medicine is made up of all of these circuits of energy. So the circuit or the channel from here?

Circulates through the whole body and is called the large intestine meridian. Professor, may I ask you something? Taya Wanni. Can you simply explain this to me? These are meridians? Yes. Meridians are channels. Yes. This is where the needles go. Dr. Dajun, the defunct. There really is nothing like this. We have the nerve charts. The nerve path. This map has almost no correspondence to anatomic maps we use in the West. So this is a completely different geography of the body? Absolutely different. It doesn't correspond to nerves or arteries. Their way of finding disease and getting to it is totally different from ours. How does he know that he's hitting the right point? He's asking her in Chinese d'achie, which means do you feel the Qi?

Do you have a sensation? You're Ganyama? Ganyama. She has a sensation. So that's how he knows. He also has to feel it. My acupuncture teacher said it's like fishing. The difference between a nibble and a bite. That he puts the needle in, and if it gets a little stuck, if there's tension pulling back, then he knows, even without asking the patient. But to me, it's an orax. It takes a long time. Tama. Tama. What's that? It's that. Tama. Tama. Tama. Tama. Did they teach you to do this 10 years ago? 12 years ago? They tried very hard. How? Well, they put me in a room with a teacher and said, memorize these points. All the points on the body. And they painted me with iodine dots. I had to recognize all the dots on my own body, then on their body. Then the practice exercise was 10 pieces of paper.

If I could put the needle through 10 pieces of paper without bending the needle, they'd let me near a patient. Until I could do that, no go. Did you finally learn it? No. I mean, I got to the point where they let me put needles into people, but I never felt it pulling back. I never felt the cheat. It's a very difficult thing to learn. Millions of Chinese routinely choose acupuncture to treat their illnesses. But I discovered Chinese doctors don't need the acupuncture needles to manipulate cheat. They can use their hands. Massage is taken very seriously like we would have surgery or pediatrics or OB-GYN. Massage is one of the main units of the hospital. These are all doctors. These are people who graduated five or six years of traditional Chinese medical school and then did a residency of at least one year in the hospital and then passed a formal series of examinations and specialized in massage. Did you study massage here?

I did. This man in the center, Dr. Zhang, is my teacher. And one of my favorite teachers, actually. Dr. Zhang, in the west, we think of massages making the muscles feel better. But it's much more than that here. Well, Dr. Gaita Shu. He wants to give him a treatment. He wants to give him a treatment. He wants to give him a treatment. These two women have what we would call fibrocystic breast disease. In the west, we don't have a treatment for this disease. A lot of women suffer a long time. So if he's really helped her, that would be an example where we can't do very much. So is it your hands that are doing this? Does he have special hands for this? He has unbelievably gifted hands. What did he teach you about using your hands? Well, the first time he taught me, he brought this bag of rice that he uses for his students. I just showed you what he said.

He threw down the bag of millet in our little room. And he said, when you can learn this hand manipulation, so that you can crush this millet or rice into dust, then you're ready to work on a human patient, not before. How does she feel? How do you feel? How do you feel? I've been using medicine for a long time. I've been using other foreign medicine. I've been using it for a long time. Have you ever been to the gym or the gym? I've been using it for a long time. I don't feel anything of it anymore. How about you? There are many patients like you. Yes, there are many. You've been using it for 27 years. How is it? It's been a long time since I've been using it for 27 years. What are you doing here?

What are you doing here? He believes that she and her liver is the cause of her breast disease. Why is he dealing with the liver and the spleen way down here, almost to the ankle? In his way of thinking, the body is made up of these conduits where the cheek goes all through the body. He's working on the liver using this point down by the foot because the liver meridian flows down the feet. Unfortunately, in a certain part of it, according to him, it's stuck. So he's got to push it, move it, help it flow, and then in his way of thinking the breast disease will become better. What's happening when that cheek is flowing? I can't tell you. If I knew, I wouldn't have to keep coming back here.

Show me how my cheek flows. You see, I'm in this place. I want you to go down. It's getting warm. I feel bad. Yes, I did feel it like a blood flow. And this is where I'm going. Yes, I did feel it like a blood flow. At dawn one morning, David took me to People's Park in Shanghai. He said if I really wanted to understand Chi, this would be the place to do it. This is extraordinary.

This park is absolutely full of people doing exercises. And all over China, the same thing as that. Every morning, every morning, in every park. But these are exercises like we think of aerobics, sit-ups, and push-ups. This one, for example, is part exercise and part martial arts. The Chinese name is Tai Chi Chuan. This is a kind of exercise that's centuries old. This is the idea in Chinese medicine that the body has to move. That movement is as important as eating or sleeping. And 23, 24 centuries ago, they started to write pictures about how people should move to keep the body healthy. So they're moving, but it's more than that.

What do those motions, physical attitudes, have to do with Chi? If you ask this woman, Chi will tell you she can feel it. She can actually feel it, and she can move it. And in the Chinese rhetoric, that is healthy. If you can do that, you're healthy. If you can figure out where your center is, your right, your left, and how to concentrate your mind, that defines how. The idea is to connect with nature through movement. There's this old expression that the body has to be like a hinge on a door. If it's not swung open, it rusts. What's he doing? He's moving. This man is doing Chi Gong.

Although it looks like he's just rocking back and forth, he's really trying to focus where his energy in his body starts from. In his mind, he's trying to plant himself so that he feels as though he's rooted like a tree. And his arms are probably moving in his mind like a bird. And with that, he will tell you that he can feel balanced and centered, and then he can begin to move his energy. Believe that that happens? I have never experienced it. I mean, I practiced Tai Chi for a year and felt deeply meditative and centered and balanced. I never felt the energy. Why did you give it up when you went back? You had to just be in China to do Tai Chi. Well, because I became an intern at a big teaching hospital. I had to be at work at 630. So your health was no longer as important as other people? It was as important, but I could no longer take care of it the same way. What does that say? It's a relatively recent phenomena that Western medicine has suggested that calisthenics and aerobics and taking care of your physical stamina is essential to maintaining health or intervening in illness.

To the Chinese, they started on the other side. They said, that's a basic principle. You can't have health unless you maintain your body and use both physical exercise and mental meditation to be healthy. What this gentleman is doing, I first saw it, looked so strange to me. He's doing what's called moving Qi Gong, walking Qi Gong. He's trying to meditate while he walks. He's walking with a purpose to move his energy with every step. What's happening to his body while he's doing this medically? Do we know? Well, he's not getting a cardiovascular workout.

I mean, it's not like he's on an exercise bike or a treadmill. But this is one of the big questions. Do any of these martial arts change people physically enough to alter their disease or make them live longer? You ask me as a Western scientist, I don't know. What I know is that there's hundreds of millions of people out in the fresh air every day and have been for 24 centuries with the belief that if they do these exercises, that's how they'll maximize their health. So the question to Western science is, are they right or are they just all deluded? I can see that although traditional Chinese medicine, it seemed valiant to Westerners, it does have something to offer our practice of medicine.

On the one hand, there's the practical contribution that can make herbs for certain diseases, acupuncture. There's another level that's becoming clear to me. To these people, it seems that health is not just the absence of illness, it's a philosophy of life. The idea is that the way you live your life, your thoughts, your emotions, that's what shapes your health or your illness. That philosophy goes back a long way. Yes. It's very, very long way. It's based in Taoism. This is a Taoist temple, the White Cloud Temple, built in 500 years ago. By the time this temple was built, the Taoist ideas of Chinese medicine had been practiced for 1,500 years.

In the old days, the doctor was very much a teacher. It wasn't just somebody who fixed, who felt pulses and gave herbs, but had to be a role model, had to teach somebody, had to live in the society. Their role was to teach people the best way to live, and that would help their patients maximize their health. It's a very, you know, it sounds rather odd, but it really raises the question, does the way you behave and the way you think and when you feel. Does that change your physical well-being? From the very beginning, 2,000 years ago, Chinese medicine said, that is what changes health. This man is one of the more gifted people that aren't met in China. Professor Wang Jinghai. Did you study photography under him when you were here?

Yeah. And he, partly because of his training and partly because of his interest, is also a scholar of Chinese medicine, because he knows Taoism, he knows the philosophy of the whole culture. What he's drawing here, Bill, are the characters for water and mountain. If I were reading about a mountain in Chinese, I would be seeing that picture. You would be seeing it, knowing it, and he's feeling it. When I was writing, I was in the mountains, and I was in the water, and I was in the water, and I was in the water. He has to control his Qi like somebody doing the martial arts in order to get the meaning right. He has to control his Qi like somebody doing the martial arts in order to get the meaning right.

But he's in the mountains, and he's in the Qi, and he's in the Qi, and he's in the Qi. That's the Taoism, isn't it? So the earth, which was chaos, divided into Yin and Yang, in every part of the universe, there are these two opposing forces.

They're interdependent. They can't exist without one another, even in the picture. One ends where the other begins, and the struggle is in maintaining the balance. Professor, what does this have to do with traditional Chinese medicine? We're born in a balanced state, but we fall out of balance. There's this notion that the physician's job is to figure out where the body and the mind are no longer in balance, where the Yin or the Yang are too much or too little. Find it and either teach the person to fix it or use herbs or needles or diet to fix it, but that's the whole goal.

And that all comes from this very, very ancient notion of Yin and Yang, the two forces of nature and everything. You know, calligraphy is worse in my acupuncture or my herbs. I can barely write my name in English, but he would tell me the meaning of every character and explain to me not only the meaning of the word, but this notion of balance for everything that exists in Chinese written words and ideas. That's what he taught me. Is a wonderful proverb in Chinese that says, a teacher for one day is like a parent for a lifetime, and he's a teacher. Cheers. David, what brought you to China in the first place? Why did you make such an enormous personal investment in this?

I don't think I was aware of it at the time, but looking back, I think it had to do with some personal tragedy when I was a boy. When I was ten, three of my grandparents passed away of unrelated illnesses, and the same year I lost my father, who was 39, of a heart attack, and it was hard to think about why that happened. And I always wondered, is there more of a reason than just fate? Why people live longer or shorter lives? And does it matter how you live, how you think, how you feel? Does that change your physical health or your life? Or is that even important? So from the very earliest part of my interest in medicine, I was interested in more than just the chemistry.

A Taoist proverb says, when you have a disease, do not try to cure. Find your center, and you will be healed. This clinic puts that proverb into practice. This is Shi Yuan Hospital. It's primarily a traditional Chinese medical hospital, but it's most famous for this, Shi Gong. These are real patients with real physical problems, and this is a medical doctor, Dr. Lu. Dr. Lu is trained in both Western and Chinese medicine. We've seen herbs, needles, massage, that's doctors doing things to patients to reestablish some kind of body balance. This is the doctor as the guide teaching the patient to use their mind exclusively to change their health.

This looks like many meditation classes I've seen in the States, or are classes in breathing. It is very similar. But in Chinese theory, once you've learned to relax, focus on your breathing, and let go of all the thoughts, where is my laundry, and when is my car coming? Then in Chinese theory, you can actually find a spot in your body where your Chi, your energy, begins, and they call this the Dantian point. It's a spot just below your belly button, your navel. Literally. It's in your abdomen, your pelvis. So when they talk about finding this ball at the Dantian point, they're talking about a ball of energy, which is where Chi begins in the human body. And then with practice, while you're focusing on your breathing, while you're letting go of thoughts, the physician says, concentrate on this ball of energy and begin to move it. That's the skill.

But what does it do for the lady with arthritis or the lady with stomach pain? They'll tell you that after weeks or months of practicing this meditative, medical tradition, and moving their energy, that their symptoms have decreased enormously. How does it feel to them to feel those things? The I want to move you.

I feel that I can't be happy. I feel that I can be happy. I feel that I can be happy. This is hard. But if you are the only kind of person who can be happy, or you want to practice, then do your homework. The strangest thing David took me to see in China was here in Beijing at Purple Bamboo Park. If you can believe that there is an energy called Qi flowing through the body, that it can be felt and manipulated, then perhaps you can see why some Chinese go one step further. They call this teacher Master Shure, and he tells his new students, come here every morning at dawn for three years, and then I'll know you're serious. Three years? Right. That's just the beginning.

Yes, but I'm warning you, Bill, what Master Shure claims he can do just doesn't look real. What's going on here? Master Shure will tell you he just used Qi to throw his student. This is where a lot of the Chinese stories come of all the martial art masters. They could emit energy, and it wasn't just their physical force that beat their opponents. It was their Qi. But that goes against everything we know and understand in Western science. It defies the bout physical law. This is where Chinese medicine takes a wide turn off of what we understand and accept in the West. I use the right way. I give it to him. I donate money from my young son

when he passed away. Before he passed away, I gave birth to a Godlocker and he died. It was because I gave birth to him. I was given up the stepbite and it seemed impossible. It's not the stepbite. I didn't bring back anything. It was a business that was inventing. I was just gradually thinking about it. What made you feel? What was this from? I had no idea. In Pri kilometers, what do you think? Mm-hmm. His hands.

His hands, trimbles. Chimbers, when he does that. Yeah, look. Yeah? Go do it. Try it, sir. Oh! It's all on me, right here. It's all right. It's all right. It's all right. It's all right. It's all right. It's all right. It's all right. Now, as an American student here studying this, what's happening? What happens is, let's say, I practice a lot of hard martial arts.

I go in with my strength. And I push hard as I can. And actually, what happens is, his energy goes out of his body and into your body. So that you become sort of a marionette on strings. Where, if he wants to all of a sudden jerk you with just energy, he doesn't have to move his hand. Suddenly, every muscle in your body, every cell expands or contracts. That defies all the bio-physical laws as we in the West understand. You don't emit energy. That's not the nature of things. Well, I guess we have to advance our techniques of studying, because whether I want to believe it or not, I cannot affect him. I've studied a lot of hard martial arts. I can hurt people. I can do all sorts of things with my feet, my hands. And there's nothing I can do to him. And the harder I use muscles, the more muscle I use boxing, the more high condo, the more violence is corrected back at me. Not by him, but my own violence.

Try it one more time. Try to throw him. Millions of people are going to be watching. And I want to see you try to throw him. Really, this is real. This is not a stunt. No stunt. And I wouldn't be here to waste my time if it wasn't stunt. And we haven't done this in two years together, because the last time I did this with him, I got very hurt in my spine. How long have you studied here? I've been here now for years, studying with him every day. So if I can do what I'm doing now, and affect him, up turn him, that means I've graduated at the next level and he would teach me something new. So for me, it's very important that I do this, that I actually affect him. Alright, let's see it. Come on, Andrew, give it the old heave ho. Come on, Andrew, it doesn't look real. So, you didn't do it.

No, I didn't. For the more years, for the more years. This is the strangest and, to me, the most unbelievable form of traditional Chinese medicine. It's called external chigong. This doctor claims to be using his energy to help redirect the flow of the energy of the patient. When this doctor claims to be emitting energy, he's doing the same thing with the chigong masters who we've seen in the park claim to be doing that. At an advanced stage of practice, they can move energy outside their body. This has been the claim for hundreds, if not thousands of years. The closest I've ever seen in this is looking at people who claim to be faithealers

in our culture. I think in every culture and in fact, every medical tradition until hours, a lot of medicine was based on energy and the ability of people to move it. That's what this man claims to be doing, as well. This is a brain-based treatment. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. I guess that's a lot. This was especially interesting and I started this training once. There was some procrastination, like holding this. Because he's used his own energy to drive your body toCrabs.

That's different to when I'm just subscribing I didn't know what to make of Dr. Lu and the emission of cheat cure diseases.

To be honest, I'm too much of a westerner. He just didn't convince me. But for most of the Chinese and imminently practical people, she hasn't something to be pundered. It's just a part of everyday life. David introduced me to Mai Yao Liang, one of the greatest living practitioners, a grand master of Tai Chi Zhuang. What's amazing is that he was trained in western science and ran the clinical laboratories in a prominent Shanghai hospital. But at the same time, for more than 70 years, he has taught and practiced Tai Chi Zhuang. He's now not even one year's old. I don't have any life in Tai Chi Zhuang.

I've been trained for ten years. But you've been trained for 30 years. You've been trained for 90 years. You've been trained for 90 years. And now you've been trained for 80 years. We've been trained for 90 years. We've been trained for 90 years. We've been trained for 90 years. We've been trained for 90 years.

We've been trained for 90 years. We've been trained for 90 years. We've been trained for 90 years. We've been trained for 90 years. We've been trained for 90 years. We've been trained for 90 years.

We've been trained for 90 years. My studies in China have convinced me more and more that to understand health, I can't just limit it to studying the physical body. I have to also expand it to understand one's spirit and to me, China, Chinese medicine, the millions of people practicing this ancient art offer a wonderful opportunity to study how the mind changes the body. We've been trained for 90 years.

We've been trained for 90 years. This series is made possible by The Fetzer Institute, proud to make possible this exploration of mind body health. Additional funding is provided by Lawrence S.
