DAAN Chinese Herbs and Acupuncture

Another encouraging story on a new way to treat cancer.

“Tony Mok Shu Kam, a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, pointed to ongoing studies in the United States and Russia that are examining the use of kanglaite, one of the top-selling anti-cancer traditional herbs. While a number of Chinese studies have been published on the efficacy of some common herbal medicines like kanglaite, Mok said their trials were too small or the methods too inconsistent to be approved in the West.

Western science and traditional Eastern medicine could be combined to enhance treatment of cancer and other diseases, an oncology professor told a medical forum Sunday.

But comprehensive clinical studies must be carried out and patients must be educated to accept the combination of methods, Tony Mok Shu Kam, a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, told participants at a two-day medical forum in Singapore sponsored by the Lancet medical journal. “
