Conventional medicine treats
cancer conditions in three ways: surgery, chemotherapy, and
radiation. These methods often produce debilitating side
effects and leave patients weakened and dispirited.
Symptoms can include nausea, loss of appetite, diarrhea,
dizziness, fatigue, hair loss, muscle and joint pain,
neuropathy, swelling, depression, weight loss, anemia, and
low white blood cell counts. In one study of patients with
breast cancer receiving highdose chemotherapy, adjunct
electroacupuncture was more effective in controlling nausea
and vomiting than conventional medications.
Acupuncture has been
demonstrated to be very effective in countering the adverse
effects of chemotherapy and radiation. Patients refereed
from oncologists often see dramatic results of acupuncture
for their patients. When combined with Chinese
herbal medicine,
nutrition, and dietary
adjustments, acupuncture can help
increase production of red and white blood cells, as well as
platelet counts, and increase patients' vitality
tremendously. It gives patients a new lease on life.
