difficult cases

[Guest guest]

With many difficult cases I tell the patient, " yes, chinese medicine treats

this, but if you were in China you would be in a hospital where we can monitor

your herbs and medication twice a day. "

That usually sobers them up to seeing an MD or at least getting a realistic view

of the degree of their disease.

clinic who refuse modern treatment, thus we end up treating them. One

case that came across my desk recently was a woman who should have had

a lumpectomy 2 years ago. Upon the advice of a quack, she went on a

raw food diet, refused all modern treatment and used inadequate amounts

of herbs prescribed by someone with no formal training in either

herbology or cancer. now she has terminal liver metastases.
