    We describe the successful treatment of a case of chronic myeloid leukemia with Qi therapy. The patient's disease was managed with conventionla medical treatment and Qi therapy as a complementary therapy. Before Qi therapy, 95% of te patient's bone marrow showed evidence of disease. A second bond marrow sample five months after Qi therapy revealed that 38% of the bone marrow was normal; one year after Qi therapy the bone marrow wqs no longer producing any cancer cells. Athough these results were obtained for a single case only and may not constitute conclusive evidence, the data suggest that Qi therapy gives as a complementary therapy during conventional medical treatment may have beneficial effects on chronic myeloid leukemia.
