Guest guest Posted January 11, 2001 Report Share Posted January 11, 2001 Lauren articles + others on his site - are excellent. There are book search engines that can sometimes turn up less expensive new and or used books. Try Best Buy Books at http://www.bestbookbuys.com/cgi-bin/bbb.cgi?searchparam=957-638-076-6 & searchty pe=ISBN Regarding cancer. Beyond the western knowledge or written stage..........one needs to first have an understanding what the mechanisms are in the condition called 'cancer'. The genetic ability and the intelligence of DNA to produce a tumor is NOT the disease although the production of a tumor over time becomes problematic when the toxicity is not eliminated. The tumor is produced as an immunologic response by the genetic intelligence specifically TO a toxic condition. Depending on the stage of toxicity -> how much the body has altered it's structure determines for the most part whether or not there will be any recovery, full recovery or no recovery. In China, their concepts of cancer are somewhat different than in the west. They do not totally use the allopathic paradigm of 'kill, burn and/or cut'. Their dosages of chemo or radiation are generally much lower than in the west and they often use Chinese Materia Medica to offset those side effects, help remove toxins from the body and boost the immune system. Some may want to take me out back of the barn BUT the truth is that if you are referring to the use of acupuncture NEEDLES there is a diminishing return in the use of needles, especially in deep systemic problems. One can look at this from the concept of Five Element. Needles are made of metal and by no accident. Metal controls Wood which is usually in excess. So the use of needles in the heirarchy of the greater umbrella of Oriental Medicine is the outermost and most invasive form (even though it is very high level). With systemic imbalances one MUST apply the higher order healing levels of Oriental Medicine (herb therapy, food therapy, qi gong, mental/emotional therapy). It has been said that the highest edict of Oriental Medicine is 'to keep a tranquil mind'. Richard Richard A.

AP can help in more cases than we hear of, but the risk of accelerating the disease increases the more time has elapsed since the cancer was detected. I am not able to give you a finite turning point for this though. Regards Fabio dautobrody [dautobrody] 27. desember 2000 00:59 acupuncture acupuncture books Greetings all, Hope everyone is having a safe and happy holiday season! This is a question for the students of the list: Have you found a good place to buy acupuncture school books on~line? My school has it's own book store, but I was wondering if there were any other places that may offer lower prices? And another question to everyone on the list. Have any of you had success using acupuncture to aid patients with advanced stages of cancer? Is there a " no turning back " point with cancer where not much can be done? A relative of mine has breast cancer, but has been very secretive about it. We know it has spread to her bones and liver. In your opinion, would acupuncture help at all? Just trying to find some info, and trying to help. Thanks for any and all help! Be Well Lauren list moderator >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2001 Report Share Posted February 11, 2001 I have Prescriiption for nutritional healing, and I like it. It shows vitamins, herbs, and remedies for ailments. If you order from The viatmin shoppe, you can get one free. I already had one, but unexpectedly got another one. I am not sure if the promotion is still on though. The vitamin shoppe is on the internet, and I think they have stores too. Take good care and have a great day. Love, Renee and Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly informative, very thorough and remarkably balanced, given that it's written by an MD and a conventionally-trained nutritionist.
