Patients continue to report an increased use of Complimentary & Alternative Medicine in their fight against Cancer. Chinese Medicine is the oldest literate continually practiced form of medicine in the world with a history that spans 3000 years. Though Western medicine advances have made considerable leaps in their ability to treat Cancer, they still have not managed to develop an adequate means of helping their patients cope with the very serious side effects experienced during Chemo & Radiation therapies and post-surgically.
Chinese medicine has much to offer here and its treatment methodology is both time-tested and backed by much research. Unfortunately many physicians may be unaware of the benefits of Chinese Medicine for cancer patients. Many oncologists may be reluctant to refer to an Acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist because they don’t understand how they work.
If you are interested in utilizing Acupuncture and Chinese herbs to help you during your treatment and the recovery period, I suggest you share these links of valuable research and information with him or her.
