Traditional Medicine as a Cancer Adjunct

 

The optimal approach to cancer therapy involves integrating Western and Traditional Medicine, offering the best prognosis for successful treatment. Acupuncture and herbal remedies effectively complement chemotherapy and radiation, enhancing overall patient care.

At Conmaul Integrative Hospital in South Korea, O.M.D.s and M.D.s collaborate to provide integrated care, emphasizing the harmonious relationship between modalities. While acupuncture and herbs do not treat cancer directly, they focus on bolstering the immune system and managing side effects to improve the quality of life during and after Western cancer treatments.

Our office’s focus is on enhancing quality of life during and after Western cancer treatments:

  • Traditional medicine helps alleviate common side effects like pain, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue, enabling patients to tolerate chemotherapy and radiation without interruption.
  • By strengthening the body’s constitution, traditional methods aim to prevent treatment termination due to serious side effects, ensuring the completion of the entire course of treatments.

Herbal Rx:

To simplify, there are three main types of formulations:

1. Complementary formulations bolster the patient’s constitution to minimize side effects of chemo/radiation and prevent treatment interruption.

2. Supportive formulations aid patients too weak to continue chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

3. Post-op protocols facilitate quicker healing and recovery.

How do these formulas work? They offer:

• Chemoprotective and radioprotective benefits to prevent, minimize, or reverse adverse reactions from chemotherapy or radiation.

• Immunostimulant effects to enhance both specific and non-specific immunity while providing energy.

• Hematopoietic function to boost red blood cell production.
