    This study reviews the evidence on the effectiveness of tai chi and qigong, two forms of traditional Chinese

medicine, on the treatment of the ten most prevalent illnesses – heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory

diseases, obesity, Alzheimer’s Disease, diabetes, substance abuse disorders, influenza and pneumonia, kidney

disease, and mental health conditions. Microsoft Copilot, an artificial intelligence chatbot, was used to identify

the top ten diseases. The PubMed database was then used to find case studies for each of the ten most

prevalent diseases. A sample of relevant studies was summarized. The findings were that tai chi and qigong

have been shown to be effective in treating these ailments in many medical studies.
