About Cancer
Cancer is a malignant tumor, which has been long recognized by Chinese Medicine. The earliest Chinese written record of a tumor was discovered in the oracle bones of Yin Dynasty in the 14th century B.C. and the Chinese word for cancer was first used in a Song Dynasty medical book in 1171.
Western Medicine View
Western medicine attributes cancer to various factors including environmental, emotional, genetic, lifestyle, exposure to chemicals/radiation, and infections.
Chinese Medicine View
Chinese medicine aims not only to attack cancer cells but also to enhance the body's own healing power and resistance. At AcuMedic clinics, senior consultants fully qualified in Chinese medicine and western medicine from China offer supportive treatment for cancer patients, which can be effective in preventing or improving symptoms such as anxiety, pain, poor appetite, sickness, general weakness. It can also be effective for hair loss caused by radiotherapy and for the fall in white blood cell counts caused by chemotherapy. Even when the cancer is at its late stage, Chinese medicine can still be used to prolong life and improve the quality of life.
Treatment Options
Acupuncture and Chinese herbs. The length of a course depends on the severity and duration of the symptoms as well as on the patient's response. For side effects of radio or chemotherapy, it is better to start treatment prior to and to finish after the radio/chemotherapy course.
Chinese medicine is not a substitute for conventional medicine. It is imperative that whilst seeking Chinese medical treatment, patients must continue with treatment prescribed by their GPs or consultants.

Case History
"My treatment whilst undergoing chemotherapy for Breast Cancer was very beneficial. On one occasion my blood count (white blood cells) even increased on monthly blood tests taken at NHS Hospital. My hair did not fall out completely. More recently I found the herbs for my skin (dry and splitting) have helped restore it. I suffer from Cystitis and this is gradually being reduced. I must say, I have been helped enormously by Chinese medicine over the past 6 years."
