Acupuncture treats breast cancer lymphedema

We all pretty much know that acupuncture and herbs are the bomb when it comes to supporting people who are experiencing chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy in terms of reducing the potential negative side effects. Now research demonstrates that acupuncture treats the lymphedema that may accompany treatment for breast cancer. My specialty is internal medicine, treating what I call "serious chronic illness" and that includes treating those who are receiving strong allopathic care (as well as those whose meds etc. don't work) and it is very rewarding to improve the quality of life for those who are experiencing those strong (and somewhat toxic) treatments. In that respect, Traditional Chinese Medicine rocks! Additionally, some people use my QiGong CD during their chemo treatemtn - it helps them relax and keeps their qi flowing during the treatment thereby minimizing the potential for negative side effects from the start. http://www.healthcmi.com/index.php/acupuncturist-news-online/446-acupuncturetreatsbreastcancerlymphedemanewyork
