Can be
treated but seldom cured
•
Treatments harm the body systems
Types

Chinese
Medicine – Acupuncture, Materia Medica, Diet and Chi-Kong
•
Combination of all or part of the above

Other
Methods such as Oxygen, Electromagnetism and heat therapy
Tumor Characteristics
•
Uncontrolled Cell Growth
•
Low ph –
Cancer cell is more Acidic (less than 7.35 ph.)
•
Cancer
cell voltage is less than 40 millivolts in advanced stages,
compared to 70-90 in healthy cells.
•
Cancer
cell oxygen is less than 60.

Oxygen
can not enter the cancer cell
•
Oxygen
level in the blood of cancer patients is around 75-85 in
advanced stages compared to 98.
Treatment disadvantages
Chemotherapy
Systemic, Non specific, Subdues the immune system, Lowering
white blood cells, Lowering red blood cells, lowering
hemoglobin, poisoning the body, lowering oxygen level in the
blood, subdues bone marrow, Causes extreme fatigue, Loss of
hair, Sickness, Diarrhea, Constipation and lowering of vitality
and hope.
Kills
good cells as well as cancer cells; there is no control on the
amount and level of destruction of cancer cells,
Statistically 5-10% does not survive the treatment.
Radiotherapy
Lowering
of bone marrow causes low red and white blood cells, Tiredness
and Fatigue, confusion, loss of appetite, Heat and burning
sensation.
Works on
a wide area and has a bad effect on good healthy cells.
Has a
bad effect on the nervous system and on the reproductive system
Statistically 5-10% does not survive the treatment.
Nutrition and Nutritional supplements
-
Nutrition:
Difficult to take in and to absorb
-
Supplements:
Costly and not proven to have beneficial
properties.
Works on the whole body, but does not
affect the tumor directly.
Chinese Medicine
•
Acupuncture-
Energetic Medicine can cause metastasis.
•
Chinese
Materia Medica
– Can
boost the body but can not penetrate the tumor
•
Chi-Kong
– Difficult to practice and can make the patient tired in the
beginning
Treatments Advantages
Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy
Are the
only treatments beside operations used by conventional medicine.
These
methods are helpful on some types of tumors but even so these
methods do not cure cancer.
•
Psychologically it gives the patient hope and feeling that he
gets the most advanced medicine.
Nutrition and Nutritional supplements
•
Nutrition –
Boosts
the body, important for survival, important balance of proteins,
fats and carbohydrates for maintaining good level of energy and
Immune system.
•
Supplements –
Same as
above, some can penetrate the cancer cell and raise P.H level to
kill the cancer cell
Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture
Activates circulation of Chi and Blood, Releases stagnation and
controls pain, Invigorates the immune system by boosting the
formation of white blood cells, enhances the body’s energy by
raising red blood cells and the hemoglobin level, Increases the
oxygen blood level, Balances the whole Body, Tones the Zang –
Fu, Balances yin-yang, cold-hot, deficiency-excess and
interior-exterior
Chinese Materia Medica
Toning
Chi and Blood, boosting the chi level of specific organs,
eliminating poisons from the body, Maintaining and treating the
body between and in conjunction with acupuncture and other
methods of treatments, supporting digestion and bowl movements,
rebuilding body substances.
Chi-Kong
Activates the body, moves chi-blood and body fluids, Increases
oxygen level for more vitality and general energy. Strengthens
the whole body and keeps good tension of the body.
General Ideas and thoughts in the use of Chinese Medicine
•
Cancer
Tumor is differentiated into two groups:
1. Damp and Cold / Cold Damp
2. Damp and Heat / hot Damp
•
It is
important to diagnosed the original cause which can be the Damp
or can be the Cold.
•
In
pathology coldness can cause dampness and dampness can cause
heat.
When we
treat a patient having conventional treatments we have to take
into account the influences and the side effects that the
treatment is having on the patient in Chinese Medicine
terminology.
•
For
example a patient with damp cold or cold damp who is having
radiotherapy can present heat symptoms because of the heat
nature of the treatments. Of course it is false heat and should
we cool the patient we will do his pathology more harm than
good.
Chinese Medicine Etiology
•
The most
accurate diagnosis that can be done is according to the
patient’s date of birth (Tian Gan Di Zi). This ancient method is
the only one that goes back to the patient’s birth energy
balance and imbalance. All the experiences of life from this
point of interaction with heaven and earth energies only make
the imbalance bigger or smaller. It is a must to analyze the
patient according to this method before starting treatment of
the patient.
Example
•
A
patient born in the 1st half of 1979. his stem is Spleen in
Earth which gives a tendency to dampness in the body, his branch
is Small intestine which deals with absorbing post natal chi,
his climatic influence is Tai-Yin which increases the level of
dampness in the body. This patient has a born tendency to form
dampness in the body, so the method of treatment will be more
Acupuncture to activate circulation of chi, to transform damp
and to raise chi by chi-kong. The treatment will vary if the
stagnation causes heat or if cold is present in the body.
Combination of Treatments and points to consider
•
99% of
our patients are having a combined conventional and Chinese
treatment.
•
This
fact puts us in a difficult position as we have to take into
account the disadvantages and the bad influences of conventional
medicine.
•
When
translating these influences into Chinese Medicine Terminology
we deal with almost every disharmony that exists from the
deepest level of Jing that is being diminished by Chemotherapy
and Radiotherapy up to the level of Tai-Yang exterior energy
that cannot resist any abnormal changes and the interaction with
external influences. As a result of that the 8 extra channels
are not functioning properly and this influences the whole
Zang-Fu system
The
Treatment
•
For
treating a cancer patient we must look at the whole picture and
take into account all the details that I have referred to in
this very short presentation.
•
From my
point of view Chinese Medicine is a must for every cancer
patient as it is the only medicine known to me to be able to
maintain and to reinforce the patient self healing and to bring
cure and health.
•
When we
come to build the principle, strategy and the detailed protocol
for each patient we have to look back to the nature of a typical
tumor.
Understanding the Tumor and the Way of Thinking
1.
Helping the patient survive the conventional treatment and
eliminating pain:
•
Acupuncture Points as:
St-36
(zusanli)-
Earth
point, Sea of nourishment, balancing the nervous system,
boosting the immune system, controlling pain and toning the Chi
Sp-10
(xuehai)-
Sea of
blood, building blood and yin, boosting renewal of red blood
cellsw, activating circulation of blood and chi.
Kid-9
(zhubin) – Point of yin wei mai, affects yuan chi,
working on the kidney chi.
T.H-9
(sidu)-
toning
the spleen, gathering the chi from four directions to
retransform it in the spleen and transport it throughout the
body. Boost the Whole body chi.
2. Cancer cell voltage is less than 40 millivolts
•
A normal
cell has around 90 millivolts, so we see that the cancer cell
doesn't have enough voltage to generate energy. With Special
methods we have to increase the voltage in the cancer cell:
•
Magnetic
acupuncture needles in the area of the tumor as much as
possible, Heat pads or an electromagnetic lamp which together
activates chi in the cell.
3.
Raising Oxygen level
•
As we
saw earlier the blood oxygen level in a cancer patient is very
low. Oxygen is vital for maintaining life and for the healing
process of the patient.
For
quick increase of oxygen we can inhale pure oxygen – that gives
an immediate boost of energy and/or doing Chi-Kong or any form
of exercise everyday for 40 minutes in open space. (by the sea
is recommended as the level of oxygen is higher)
4.
P.H balance
•
As we
saw the Tumor can survive only in a very acidic environment (
less than 7.35 P.H). In a more alkaline environment the cancer
cell dies and the tumor dissolves, so we need to penetrate the
cancer cell membrane to change its P.h to the level of 7.8 P.h.
When we succeed in doing this oxygen and other killing agents
will be able to get into the cell and destroy it.
The
end and its challenge
•
I hope
that I succeeded in bringing you some of my thoughts and my
research work in the field for the last 10 years.
•
I hope
that we will be able to take these ideas further and bring
health to so many people around the world.
•
I am
sure that by joining together all the world experts of Chinese
Medicine we will be able to find the penetrating agent for a
better healthier world.
