What is Cancer ? Cancer a disease which starts in our cells. Uncontrolled or abnormal cell division causes tumours, which can be benign or cancerous, to grow and can spread to the rest of our body through the lymphatic or blood circulation system .
Cancer is the leading cause of premature death in Canada.
The Canadian Cancer Society estimates 2 in 5 Canadians will develop some form of cancer in their lifetime.
Benefits of Acupucture & Cancer: Conventional western cancer therapies include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy. These therapies which not only destroy cancer cells but often healthy cells as well; as result, there are often associated side effects such as pain, nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, hair loss, swollen limbs etc.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) attributes cancer to one or a combination of factors, such as heredity, lifestyle, and environment, which create disharmony in the normal functioning of the body and combine to produce a diseased state. TCM treatment includes removing toxins that may contribute to cancer, increasing the flow of blood and Qi, removing undesirable accumulations of tissue that are the tumour, and restoring self-regulation and balance among the body and its immune system.
Acupuncture and herbs are beneficial in treating early and later stages of cancer. For early stages of cancer, acupuncture and herbs can maintain and boost the body’s immune system and encourage growth of healthy cells. In later stages of cancer, acupuncture and herbs are very effective in relieving cancer-related symptoms such as pain, nausea and swelling.
