Week 7- TCM Approach to Cancer

As in all things, TCM looks at the overall condition of the body. TCM treats overall organ dysfunction and builds up the body so it may fight the cancer cells instead of focusing only on killing the cancer cells that have already formed. TCM helps control the symptoms while still maintaining some quality of life. I like this and feel TCM has it's place, but we must be aware of when the invasive Western approach may actually save a person's life, or if a more mild TCM approach may be more helpful.
