Patient discussion about medicinals.

Q. can you treat cancer with chinese medicine? I know it sounds far fetched but I'm trying everything I can. my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer about 2 weeks ago and I really want to help her in any possible way. I haven't been here for a while.. but I guess you'll hear a lot from me now. so do you guys know if chinese medicine had dealt with breast cancer before?

A. CAM therapies (Contemporary and Alternative Medicine) are very degrees of data behind them. Some, such as acupuncture, actually have pretty good evidence that they help with the conditions they are supposed to treat. However, I am not personally aware of any CAM therapies for cancer that have received very much recognition from reputable medical and psychological researchers. As your friend has just been diagnose, encourage her to seek the medical treatments suggested by her doctor. Depending on stage in which they have caught the cancer, breast cancer ban be very treatable. CAM may help however, in alleviating the symptoms she may experience from treatments such as chemotherapy.

Hope that helps.

Q. Do I have to speak Chinese to study Chinese medicine? I’m thinking about studying Chinese medicine next year at a local college. Do I have to study Chinese before I start studying? Will it make any difference?

A. I wouldn't think that not being able to speak Chinese would keep you from studying Chinese medicine. I'm sure that at your local college they offer the course in English. I would think that studying Chinese medicine would be more of learning how they treat different things not learning the language. Hope this helps.

Q. Is there any Chinese medicine for cancer. Hi every one! I am a student of famous University. I heard about Chinese Medicine but I don’t have any idea. One of the incurable diseases is cancer. Is there any Chinese medicine for cancer?

A. Maybe ganotherapy will help. Ganotherapy uses hollistic approach to scan diseases not just cancer but also other chronic diseases. It uses the specie of Ganoderma lucidum mushroom (Lingzhi in Chinese, Reishi in Japanese).

It is part of ancient Chinese history. Many wealthy Chinese families of this age use Ganoderma as a tonic food.
