Halt the Progression of Gangrene and Prevent Amputation Naturally
The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it. (Chinese proverb)
Gentle GongFa Exercise on Chair for Improved Circulation
“GongFa” simply means the method of doing exercise with a special long-term purpose.
Dry foot gangrene, as a part of diabetes management, has become a major medical problem. This website is intended to allow you to manage your own care, ask the right questions, insist on adequate management and information, and seek an optimal outcome for yourself as an informed patient. Perhaps it will even help the health professionals who are giving care to better understand and, hopefully, incorporate into their practice the nutritional approach to gangrene - its prevention and treatment.
Please note that this website is not intended for “most people”. It is written for those who want to stand out in self-health care. If you are such a person, we strongly advise that you give serious thought to all of the suggestions about how to stop the progression of gangrene, dry foot gangrene in particular. If you are tempted to think the suggestions are too complicated or too simplistic, or biased, we assure you they are not.
The vital importance of physical activity in improving circulation cannot be emphasized enough. For this reason, we have added GongFa - a complete body-mind workout system - to our foot gangrene control program.
GongFa is exceptionally helpful in cardiovascular health problems, especially in people who have a sedentary lifestyle and those with limited physical activity - for whatever reason.
GongFa is a simplified version of Tai Chi and Qigong workout routines performed in a seated position - on chair or wheelchair.
It consists of the most effective - yet safe and gentle - Tai Chi and Qigong movements with the strong focus on breathing (in Traditional Chinese Medicine, breathing is considered the fundamental way of cultivating the essence of life).
Tai Chi - consisting of 108 movements - is a slow version of Chinese martial art styles. Today, most people practice it because of its soft nature and multiple health benefits.
Originally, however, it was not designed for this purpose and it still includes some dangerous elements, In fact, the learning process of Tai Chi has never been people-friendly.
Qigong, on the other hand, is a Chinese exercise system that focuses more on the development of internal attributes (e.g. energy) through the series of movements accompanied by deep breathing.
