Hi Brian

 

of the three TCM Oncology texts I have, I find the Lahans the most clinically

useful and relevant on a day-to-day basis.

 

It contains excellent discussions about the biomedical understandings, causes,

classifications, tumour/tissue types, staging of cancers & treatment approaches

- mandatory for us to know, especially as most patients become as well-versed in

oncology as their oncologists!

The TCM explanations are superb, the cancers and their TCM patterns, their

etiologies and herbal treatments are very well explained.... to understand

cancer from a TCM perspective, get this book!

 

Tai Lahans is highly regarded world-wide for her work, by oncologists and TCM

practitioners.

 

Other books to think about:

Li Peiwen's " Management of Cancer with " - a very well respected

Doctor in China - the herbalist's herbalist I'd say.

 

Stephen Sagar's " Restored Harmony- an Evidence Based Approach for Integrating

Traditional into Complementary Cancer Care " - by the current

president of the Society of Integrative Oncology - an oncologist who studied

TCM, and has never forgotten the role of the Mind & Spirit! This is the book to

give to an oncologist for his/her birthday
