CONDITION
What is Cancer?
Cancer encompasses a range of diseases that can arise in almost any organ or tissue in the body, marked by the uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal cells. These cells can invade nearby tissues and may spread to other parts of the body, a process called metastasis, which is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Cancer is also referred to as a malignant tumor or neoplasm.
The symptoms of cancer can differ significantly depending on the affected part of the body. Common, though not specific, signs include persistent fatigue, noticeable lumps under the skin, unexplained rapid weight loss, changes in bowel or bladder habits, chronic coughing or breathing difficulties, and ongoing muscle or joint pain.
CAUSES
What causes Cancer?
While the precise causes of cancer are not completely understood, research suggests that lifestyle and dietary factors may influence its development. On a scientific level, cancer occurs due to mutations in the DNA of cells. DNA provides the instructions that control a cell’s functions, growth, and division. When these instructions are altered or contain errors, they can disrupt normal cell function, potentially leading to the development of cancer.
TREATMENTS
Treatment Options
While not a cure, acupuncture serves as a complementary treatment, enhancing the quality of life and helping manage the side effects of cancer treatments. Dr. Goh TCM & Health Management adopts a holistic approach that aims to restore the body’s life energy balance. This approach considers various factors, including the harmony of Qi energy and the balance of Yin and Yang, to promote overall health and well-being. Dr. Goh’s treatment is non-invasive and customised to each patient’s specific needs, potentially incorporating a combination of the following therapies:
Critical Illness Acupuncture supports treatment of cancer by alleviating symptoms related to the disease and its treatments, such as pain, nausea, fatigue, and stress. By stimulating specific acupoints, acupuncture helps boost the immune system, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation, which can support the body’s natural healing processes. It also promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety, which is beneficial for patients undergoing chemotreatment or radiation treatment. While not a cure, acupuncture serves as a complementary treatment, enhancing the quality of life and helping manage the side effects of cancer treatments.
Scalp acupuncture supports treatment of cancer by targeting specific regions on the scalp that correspond to areas of the brain involved in pain management, immune function, and emotional regulation. By stimulating these points and areas, scalp acupuncture can help alleviate cancer-related symptoms such as pain, fatigue, nausea, and anxiety, often caused by the disease or its treatments like chemotreatment. Additionally, it may enhance the body’s natural healing processes by improving circulation and boosting the immune system, offering complementary support alongside conventional cancer therapies to improve the patient’s overall well-being.
Adrenal Gland Treatment supports management of cancer by focusing on balancing the adrenal glands, which produce hormones like cortisol that regulate stress and immune responses. Chronic stress and adrenal dysfunction can weaken the immune system and worsen cancer progression. By restoring adrenal balance, this treatment helps reduce inflammation, manage stress, and improve the body’s resilience during cancer treatments. It may also support better energy levels and overall health, complementing conventional cancer treatments and improving the patient’s quality of life..
Mind Balancing Treatment supports management of cancer by addressing the mental and emotional stress that often accompanies the disease. Through Meridian Massage Technique, this helps reduce anxiety, depression, and fear, promoting a sense of calm and emotional well-being. By lowering stress levels, it can also improve immune function and support the body’s ability to heal, enhancing the effectiveness of conventional treatments. Mind Balancing Therapy complements cancer care by improving the patient’s mental state and overall quality of life during their treatment journey.
Cancer FAQS
Alternative approaches to Cancer treatment include supportive therapies such as acupuncture, herbal supplements, and mind-body practices. Acupuncture and meditation are often used to relieve symptoms such as Nausea, Pain, and Fatigue, especially during conventional treatments like Chemotreatment.
While some Cancers can be treated effectively, and patients can go into remission, the outcome depends on various factors, including the type, stage, and individual response to treatment. Alternative treatments are generally used as complementary care to conventional treatments to manage symptoms and improve quality of life rather than as standalone cures.
People with a family history of Cancer, those exposed to Carcinogens (e.g., tobacco, certain chemicals, radiation), individuals with certain viral infections, and those with a sedentary lifestyle or poor diet are at higher risk. Age is also a significant risk factor, as the likelihood of developing cancer generally increases as people get older.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a comprehensive health and wellness treatment that has progressively developed over the years, backed by clinical and scientific research. For best results, it’s important to consult a certified medical doctor or specialist before beginning any treatment.
