Acupuncture Complements Cancer Therapy

"Serious exploration of alternative ways to improve the quality of life for persons undergoing cancer therapy represents a cornerstone as we face a new era in the treatment of this insidious disease.

This can be accomplished by reducing pain, nausea and other debilitating 'side effects' - and most importantly, to give hope where it has perhaps diminished.

"As part of an integrative practice, I believe acupuncture has a solid and scientifically promising basis. Thus, continued investigation of acupuncture for clinical application and research is warranted in the area of cancer treatment and beyond."
