Some of those practicing T'ai Chi in [World Tai Chi Day Founder] Douglas's class say they are are experiencing some of the benefits that have been touted in research published in the last few years by Harvard Medical School.
Al Hussar said he practices T'ai Chi nearly every day, and has for a couple of years. It's helped his stress level, and his balance, he said.
Hussar said he's been able to stop taking some of his medications he was taking for Type 2 diabetes.
"I don't know why it works, but keep doing it," his doctor told him.
Douglas encourages his students to work with their doctors.
"What we always tell people is that you do everything in conjunction with your physician, but let your physician know that you are practicing T'ai Chi and meditation and if they don't know about the medical research, show them the medical research about how T'ai Chi and meditation can help their particular health issue," he said.
Bill Lowenstein credits the class with helping him lower his doses of his heart medication.
"If they could put a money value on what is being done here, it would be like a pill that is worth millions and millions of dollars," he said.
