Acupuncture for Cancer Patients

A diagnosis of cancer is probably one of the most scary life events, which leads to many decisions that must be made rather quickly.  Typically the general practitioner will refer the patient to an Oncologist for treatment and care, and this really is the best place to start, as these docs are the cancer experts.  But Acupuncture has long been known as a modality that helps with not only increased healthy cellular proliferation, but it helps with the following:

-increases immunity

-helps with chemotherapy side effects

-helps nausea

-increases energy and combats fatigue

-strengthens the body

-calms the mind

-increases killer T-cells that attack cancer cells

An Acupuncturist is a key practitioner to have on board for cancer treatments since getting regular Acupuncture treatments increases the overall health of the body by a lot!  This is especially true if undergoing chemotherapy since the chemo has a tendency to wipe out not only the malignant cells but the good cells as well.  Acupuncture works by way of the nervous system sending direct messages to the brain telling the brain to increase cellular functioning to turn on pathways to generate more ‘good cells’ that will kill the cancer cells.  It works to balance the hormones and reduce the overall sickly symptoms associated with cancer treatments.

If you know of a cancer patient, please tell them about Acupuncture.  Many people have seen extreme benefits and often times patients can fully recover with the combination of the correct treatment options.  For cancer patients, this offers hope!
