Cancer Support: Healing Bodies Soaring Spirits

Our stories are uplifting, positive and encouraging. Our patients with cancer go boogie-boarding in the wild ocean waves, enjoy deeply connected intimacy with their husbands and feel surprisingly good during chemo-therapy and radiation treatments. Not your typical image of a woman going through some of the most intensive medical treatments available today.
Each woman is as unique as her history, her smile, and even her side-effects from chemo-therapy and radiation. Through Acupuncture and time-tested Herbal Medicine we bring life back into depressed, scared, even dieing women. During treatment they see the joy in life again and are hopeful for the future. Most of our patients out-live their doctors premonitions of presumed time-lines by years. Time and time again patients come in saying their doctor can't believe how well they are doing. They often say "Whatever you are doing, keep doing it!"
Here is a recent study proving the effectiveness of our medicine:

Acupuncture is as effective and longer-lasting in managing the common debilitating side effects of hot flashes, night sweats, and excessive sweating (vasomotor symptoms) associated with breast cancer treatment and has no treatment side effects compared to conventional drug therapy, according to a first-of-its-kind study presented September 24, 2008, at the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology’s 50th Annual Meeting in Boston.

We empower our patients by boosting their immunity, reducing their nauseousness and increasing warmth to their extremities while cooling their hot flashes.  This enables women to tolerate the often brutal medicine that is attempting to save their life.  We love healing the body and the spirit as women journey through this emotional yet powerful challenge in their life.  Kale powder, fish oil and exotic mushrooms attack their cancer, elevate their immunity and strengthen their bodies healing potential combating their debilitating disease.   

We heal their bodies and watch their spirits rise.
