Alternative Treatments for Cancer (2)
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)
almost never cures cancer, he said. But it can improve the overall odds of cure, enhance recovery, increase efficacy of chemotherapy and radiation, reduce side effects of treatment, prolong survival, enhance quality of life, and, possibly, prevent recurrences. He believes that the best chance for cure lies in the combination of both Western and Chinese medicine. Its like buying an extra lottery ticket, he said, I believe in a multi-pronged approach. The four pillars of TCM are herbs, acupuncture, massage, and Qigong.
A self-described strong proponent for an evidence-based approach to alternative cancer treatment, Dr. Chang said, Many studies in China show that herbs can improve survival of patients undergoing chemotherapy. And many Chinese herbs show anti-cancer properties. For example, some contain polysaccharides, which have been shown in studies to have anti-cancer effects. Acupuncture has been shown in well-conducted studies to be an effective preventive for the nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy and pregnancy. The side effects of chemotherapy are highly toxic, whereas, the side effects of herbal medicine are mild.

The big “O”
“If women become more aware of what works for them when they do reach orgasm, then they can make sure it happens when they want it to,” says psychologist Lonnie Barbach, Ph.d., author of The Erotic Edge. Erotica for Couples (Dutton, 1994). It’s about paying attention to yourself, learning what you respond to and feeling entitled to create the right mood and moves to guarantee pleasure.

Mucus
Our breath is our basic source of vitality
The quantity and quality of the air we take into our lungs is affected to some degree by the amount of mucus, which obstructs the passages of the respiratory system. Also, when there is excess mucus congesting these passageways, there is also a greater possibility for the growth of microbes.

Alternative Treatments for Cancer
The keys to our inherent health and healing are vital to invoke for true healing to be able to occur. In The Journal of Clinical Oncology, in an article entitled “Must We Kill to Cure?,” it was noted that “the host response that is, the patient’s immune response] is critical and determines long term survival.” What are these inherent keys? Well, as noted, the immune system is the most critical key, And this vast system relies on many other keys: spiritual focus, a solid nutritional strategy, a sound endocrine system, relaxation approaches and stress reduction, and eliminating toxic loads to our bodies and minds. No wonder embarking on a path to heal from cancer is typically so life changing!Since there is no single, consistent definition of alternative medicine in the published literature or in the mind of the public, the researchers based their survey on the “domains” of alternative medicine described by the National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. To streamline the survey process, the researchers collapsed the domains into three subgroups: — alternative providers (such as acupuncturists, massage therapists,naturopathic doctors or homeopathic physicians);
– dietary supplements (vitamin, mineral, herbal or other supplements,
such as shark cartilage); and
– “other” therapies (diet or physical activity; mental and spiritual
therapies such as prayer, meditation and support groups; and energetic interventions such as crystals and magnets).
Patients were considered a user of alternative medicine if they received care from an alternative provider within the past year or had used at least one alternative supplement or therapy.
