Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 There is a paper from Europe about the antioxidants and how this would interfere with chemotherapy even herbal chemotherapy....all of this could be explained in depth by Dr. Wen whom found it to be very interfering. Even with chemotherapy they want a 72 hour window of no anti oxidants during administration and 24 hours on each side. Personally, I am not against massage accupressure or acupuncture with cancer, the chapter I did lists combined therapies that work together for the patient in treating cancer. I have a colleague whom uses only Tui Na ah Mo in her veteriarny practice and has the client/owner do the same for the patient at home and this alone has been effective in many cases, I am not listing bone cancers in this, soft tissue cancers.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I spoke with a MD cancer expert today who says that the antioxidants can compete with the same receptors as the herbs during treatment, so you want the patient to have enough antioxidants, but not too much. But, don't starve the patient.. throwing out the baby with the bathwater, so to speak. She doesn't think that massage is problematic during cancer, as this research hasn't been validated either way. What do others think?

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 It's a controversial matter, some says to not use , orhers use it. I have some papers talking about it.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Do the antioxidants interfere with non-herbal chemo treatments? Everyone I have treated on chemo, the doctors flat out say no herbs until it's over. I do acupuncture once a week. When it is done - heavy on the herbs to recover. Anne Anne C.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Hi John; because it comes from a vitalist pradadigm. -- How come it was made illegal for use in the United States when it isn't invasive or physically dangerous?

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 A few herbalists in the past have said to me that Huang qi can promote angiogenesis of tumors, since it can promote cell growth and the formation of new blood vessels and should be used only after chemo... Yes, it is speculative. Read the paragraph on " Astragalus enhances wound healing " : http://www.jcm.co.uk/catalogue.php?catID=712 & opener=0-691-712 Otherwise, it seems Huang qi is in almost every TCM cancer formula.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Hi John, --- A few herbalists in the past have said to me that Huang qi can promote angiogenesis of tumors, since it can promote cell growth and the formation of new blood vessels and should be used only after chemo... --- I have heard this type of thing from western herbalists, but have never heard it from a Chinese Medical herbalist, although some who have had extensive training in WM have stated similar things cautiously. However, this is purely a biomedical point of view, and without any proof behind it whatsoever. We know that Huang Qi increases wound healing, we've known it for a very long time; we also know that it supports upright / righteous qi. Tumours are the opposite of upright / righteous qi. To me, it is largely a question of whether we buy into our medicine or not. Huang Qi is an important herb that must be used anytime the patient's presentation calls for it (i.e. the organism requests it), regardless of what stage of chemo or whatever that the person happens to be in. Acupuncture supposedly promotes tumour growth. I am sure that if pressed for an answer, these same people would also admit that yin-yang theory promotes tumour growth as well. If you search pubmed, you will find lots of info regarding Huang Qi's ability to interrupt the growth of cancer and promote cancer cell death. You will also find " concerns " regarding herbs and their ability to clear chemotherapy from the body too quickly, but these concerns are theoretical (not having been proved in clinical trials) and generally involve western herbs, which as we know are not prescribed the way we would prescribe them. Check out this meta-analysis of Chinese medicinals for cancer (yes, they complain about the " poor methodology " but...): CONCLUSION: Our meta-analysis displays compelling evidence of effectiveness for hepatocellular cancers that should be evaluated in high-quality and transparent clinical trials.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Hugo, these were western style herbalists who have told me this in the past about Astragalus Huang qi. Of course, they're looking at herbs singularly, not in synergy with other herbs, which we know is the hallmark of what we do.... ie. Fu zheng therapy Still, it is interesting that a formula like Dang gu bu xue tang (Huang qi, Dang gui) is so effective in promoting new tissue growth (as in cuts)... I've seen this many times and this ties in with the other thread about Huang qi generating new flesh from the Shen nong ben cao jing. Eduardo, thanks for putting those files up.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I agree with Hugo. For years I've observed completely unreasonable fears attributed to Chinese herbal medicine and acumoxa treatment when it comes to cancer patients, without any solid data to back it up or any traditional contraindications. In mainland China, herbal medicine and acupuncture are used together with Western treatment methods for cancer patients routinely, and there is nothing that I know of that indicates any negative interactions, in fact, most interactions are positive, especially when practiced according to Chinese medical criteria (yin/yang, pulse, tongue, palpation diagnosis, etc.). It seems criminal to deny Western patients of these benefits, especially when chemo, radiation and surgical treatments can be so devastating. What is necessary is some specialized training in Chinese medical oncology, a cancer patient is not a 'routine patient'. The Chinese medical practitioner has to be very adept in their diagnostic, treatment, and patient management skills. As a profession, we need to outgrow reflexive knee-jerk reactivity to hearsay and rumors, or sketchy or incomplete speculative studies. There is a lot of politics involved, and not, I'm afraid, a lot of true objectivity when it comes to what is considered appropriate treatment.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Ze'v, I agree that the cancer patient is not a " routine patient " and " As a profession, we need to outgrow reflexive knee-jerk reactivity to hearsay and rumors, or sketchy or incomplete speculative studies. " That's why it's good to investigate these claims from all angles, so that we get a comprehensive perspective. For instance, cancer diets are numerous and diverse as weight loss diets, with often 180 degree perspectives. Many 'experts' have completely opposing views and of course, they all have studies to back them up. For instance, here's a forum on the Pine Street Foundation page discussing antioxidants and chemotherapy http://pinestreetfoundation.org/category/chemotherapy-antioxidants/ I think that you studied with Michael Broffman. It will be interesting to see what Huang Huang does for cancer patients. K On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 11:29 AM, <zrosenbewrote: > > > I agree with Hugo.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 John, It is amazing, the diversity of opinions, it approaches the 'blind man and the elephant' perspective. Some say starve the cancer, some say feed it, high protein, low protein, high 'carb', low 'carb'. Of course, there are different kinds of proteins and carbohydrates, that is very reductive thinking to put brown rice in the same category as angel food cake. . We need a comprehensive overview with theoretical unity when discussing diseases such as cancer. We have a strong framework in Chinese medicine, and we can 'plug in' data from other sources such as biomedicine. Michael Broffman and the Pine St. Foundation have done a exemplary job in that. Antioxidants are not Chinese medicine per se, they come from the nutriceutical world, so there may be more evidence as to their interactions with chemotherapy/radiation. But to then apply that data to Chinese medical treatments is quite unreasonable.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I sat with a cancer specialist for 2 weeks in Beijing and wrote down as many of the prescriptions as I could. There were was never discussion of any herbs including Dang Gui, Huang Qi etc... being prohibited and indeed looking at the list again I remember how much Huang Qi he used (big doses) and especially Tai Zi Shen. I have posted very, very rough notes in the CHA files section. These are only jottings and shouldn't constitute a " study " of any one or all cancer cases.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Thanks for the laugh! More of the same rhetoric: What you eat can't possibly effect your health! " I am certain this same teaching fellow (from Johns Hopkins??) does a great job at brainwashing many bright young aspiring physicians to believe ONLY DRUGS can positively effect the health of a person.
