Today, cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. While many patients receive surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation for the cure of the disease, the treatment itself may cause further side effects and morbidity. Patients receiving intensive treatments may experience a decline in quality of life due to nausea, vomiting, fatigue, lack of appetite, and so on. Integrative approach of fighting cancer expands the boundaries of conventional care by bringing together traditional tools for fighting cancer with complementary/alternative therapies.  A significant and increasing cancer patient population seek out alternatives to conventional care by practitioners of complementary medicine or self-prescribed alternative therapies.

Yet, there are so many options out there, now you have more questions:

• Which one is for me?
• How much do I take?
• How long do I take it?
• Will it interact with my therapy?
• Do the practitioners know anything about cancer?
• ??????
  

The traditional Chinese medicine, with a history of thousands of years, recognizes the importance of our intrinsic healing power. The maintenance of a natural and harmonious balance among the vital energies within our body is the key to optimal health. Many common ailments are due to insufficient levels and inferior quality of vital energy in our body. Herbs are used traditionally to restore the balance and harmony of our system.

Western medicine, through use of surgery, advanced drugs, and technology, offers swift cure for acute problems, but frequently fail to address the chronic diseases. Chinese herbal medicine recognizes that most chronic illnesses, including cancers, are the results of deep-rooted problems. A long-range continuous treatment is thus essential.

It is dangerous to suggest that either Chinese herbal medicine or Western medicine is superior in their own right. Each has its own strengths and weakness. Clinical studies conducted in China suggest that a combination of herbal medicine with conventional treatment may increase survival and improve quality of life of patients.

Dr. Peter Sheng, a board certified cancer specialist and internist, with twenty plus years of experience in medicine, recognizes the power of marriage between the technology and curative power of western medicine and the undeniable Chinese healing theory. He incorporates herbal therapy in the treatment of his own cancer patients. Through his knowledge of Chinese herbal medicine and understanding of the nature of cancer, Dr. Sheng developed Cancer Herbal Formulas for different cancer types. Combined with Supplemental Herbal Formulas targeting the different manifestation of the disease due to an imbalance of energy, he has seen favorable results in his own practice^***.

• Higher energy level
• Stronger immunity
• Better quality of life
• Healthier appetite
• Longer than expected survival time in some patients
  
• Higher tolerance towards chemotherapy
• Less side effects from chemotherapy
• Slower cancer progression rate in some patients
