People are frequently surprised to hear of the many things Five Element Acupuncture can help with. Many are unaware of the benefits somebody living with cancer can experience. For example, one of my patients was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma a couple of years ago. It's early stages and still being monitored rather than treated medically. She was constantly catching bugs that her body was taking weeks to fight off, and her general energy had deteriorated. I suggested we should continue her treatment at no more than a fortnight between treatments. She now has her old energy level back and has only caught one cold in the past two years, that her body was able to fight off within days. Her twice-yearly blood tests show no progression of the disease and she has no need for medication.
This is only one case. I have also worked with more aggressive and more advanced cases of cancer. The treatment helps in many ways in each case, but to highlight some of these, here are some examples of the help we give to those suffering from cancer: reduction in side effects from chemotherapy and radiotherapy, increased energy, keeping the blood count within a normal range, helping to fight off common bugs, feeling at greater peace within, a better quality of life and increasing longevity for terminally ill patients, less pain and more relaxation. In those few people with whom I have had the honour of working with until the end, I believe the treatment has helped greatly with inner peace and coming to terms with leaving their loved ones and letting go of precious life for whatever is next.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to talk in person about treatment for yourself or for someone you know.
