TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE APPROACHES TO CANCER: Harmony In The Face Of The Tiger

. A straightforward and positive explanation (in so far as that is possible) of the principles underlying Traditional Chinese Medicine as these apply to cancer, and an explorations of the methods and techniques that can ameliorate symptoms, the side effects (eg) of chemotherapy, and help to cope with the cancer itself. The emphasis is very much on the whole person, the approach is not anti-Western medicine, but very much describing TCM as complementary. There are no `how to' elements - ie, the reader is told what sort of effects acupuncture, for example, might have and, according to TCM theory, why, and told clearly to find an experienced practitioner. This is a good book that should be very useful to patients and practitioners of TCM and frontline professionals in cancer care and treatment.
