We have all been touched in our lives by cancer. A mother. A daughter. A cousin. A friend. Cancer does not discriminate. Most commonly, I see patients undergoing treatment for breast cancer of varying stages and types. Western treatment typically consists of a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. In reality, when we are supporting patients with cancer, it doesn't matter too much what type of cancer they have, it matters the treatment they are receiving. The different treatment types, and chemotherapy types, have their own set of symptoms that can occur; nausea, insomnia, neuropathy, bone pain, etc. My goal as an alternative healthcare practitioner is to not treat the cancer, but to support the body through western treatment to lessen negative symptoms. Acupuncture for Chemotherapy NauseaAcupuncture is a modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine, that dates back thousands of years. Acupuncture uses small, thin, solid needles inserted into specific points on the body to affect body biochemistry, or Qi. One of the most common side effects of chemotherapy is nausea and vomiting. During treatments patient's are often given Benedryl and Zofran to help lessen symptoms. Often it does not work. A study done at Baylor University Medical Center concluded: Acupuncture is recommended as a complementary therapy when nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy are poorly controlled...Randomized controlled, parallel, and crossover studies demonstrated the benefit of electroacupuncture in acute chemotherapy-induced vomiting (within 24 hours after chemotherapy)...Acupuncture is thought to be a very cost-effective therapy for nausea control in patients receiving chemotherapy." Another study, from Duke University in 2002, compared the use of acupuncture to the use of Zofran, an anti-nausea medication, before breast cancer surgery to reduce the nausea that can occur after surgery. The acupuncture treatment was found to work better than Zofran at controlling nausea. Acupuncture for Chemotherapy Peripheral NeuropathyPeripheral neuropathy is another common chemotherapy side effects characterized by numbness & tingling, numbness, and pain in the extremities. Acupuncture, again, has been shown to be a safe and effective treatment for chemotherapy induced neuropathy. Chemotherapy is a mix of strong medications that kill cancer cells. Typically they work by attaching the DNA and RNA of the cells. Chemotherapy is not precise and it can also affect healthy cells in the body; hair cells, mucus cells, digestive cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and nerve cells can all be negatively affected. Chemotherapy induces a type of oxidative stress within the nerve cells, limiting their ability to function properly. For some this toxicity is temporary and for some the damage is long lasting. A randomized pilot study done in part by Department of Medical Oncology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. concluded: Women with CIPN after adjuvant taxane therapy for breast cancer experienced significant improvements in neuropathic symptoms from an 8-week acupuncture treatment regimen. An 8-week acupuncture intervention (vs. usual care) led to a statistically and clinically significant improvement in subjective sensory symptoms including neuropathic pain and paresthesia. Given the lack of effective therapies and established safety profile of acupuncture, clinicians may consider acupuncture as a treatment option for mild to moderate CIPN in practice." Acupuncture for chemotherapy support is well researched, and provides an alternative to additional medications. Acupuncture is a safe and effective adjunct therapy to chemotherapy. A 2018 retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of 375 cancer survivors who received acupuncture treatments at the MD Anderson Cancer Center Integrative Medicine Center outpatient clinic showed that patients experienced short- and long-term improvement in multiple symptoms including hot flashes, fatigue, numbness, tingling, and nausea.

Thank you for mentioning that when chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting are not well managed, acupuncture is suggested as a supplemental therapy. My pal has cancer and is feeling sick. I'll advise her to receive cancer therapy through acupuncture.

Hi everyone, I’m here to give my own verdict about the herbal cure Dr Osato is sending out to people to cure them of Herpes and HIV. Dr Osato herbal medicine is the best remedy for Herpes1&2 and HIV/AIDS, I was a carrier of Herpes and I saw a testimony on Youtube on how Dr Osato cure Herpes with herbs, I decided to have a contact with him and asked him for solutions and he started the remedy for my health and prepare the herbal cure for me and send it to me through UPS and he gave me instructions on how to use it which i rightly followed and after 14days of taking the herbal medicine i went for a blood test and my result was Negative. I waited for 3months to confirm my result before sharing this testimony and also to observe myself if i would have an outbreak and nothing came out from my body, i went for another blood test after 3 months of testing Negative and the result still shows Herpes Negative and my doctor was pretty sure i was totally cured from herpes and he confirm with me that I’m free from herpes. Thank God, now everything is fine, I’m cured by Dr Osato herbal medicine, I’m very thankful to Dr Osato and i will not stop publishing his name on the internet because of the good work he did for me, You can contact Dr Osato on email: [email protected] Or you can call and WhatsApp him on +2347051705853.

I want to share this great testimony to the world on how Dr Osato cured me from Herpes2 with his herbs, I was nervous when I first contacted him about the cure for HSV2 but I decided to give him a try because I was desperate to get cured and be free from HSV2. Dr Osato prepared the cure and sent it to me through UPS,which I used just the way Dr Osato instructed me and thank God today I am a beneficiary of this cure. I went back to the hospital after 14days of taking the herbs and I tested Herpes2 Negative. So I will tell you all who are looking for a cure to his/her HSV1&2 that Dr Osato took research before he could finally get the solution to it and a lot of people are benefiting from him right now. He also cured my friend from HPV. Dr Osato heals with natural herbs. Please i urge you to contact him now through his email address: [email protected] or call and WhatsApp him on +2347051705853. His website is https://osatoherbalcure.wordpress.com and he is capable of curing HIV/AIDS, HERPES, HPV, HSV1&2, CANCER of all kinds,DIABETES and so many other infections.
