SUPPLEMENTS AND VITAMINS: If You Have Cancer Acupuncture and herbs are not treatments for cancer, but they serve to support the person and can make the treatments with radiation and chemotherapy much less toxic. There is no reason that people need to be so ill and so debilitated when they are undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Also, there is no evidence at the current time that the treatments done with herbs, supplements and acupuncture to support a person who is undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy in any way interfere with the effectiveness of these toxic therapies. Please see the page with Frequently Asked Questions About Acupuncture (FAQ's) in the section on Acupuncture for a further discussion of the use of Oriental Medicine in the treatment of cancer. The treatment of someone who is undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy is very individualized. Such radical therapies as these expose every aspect of your health and well-being that is in any way weak or out of balance, and no two people are the same. There is no such thing as a general recommendation for someone who is being treated for cancer when it comes to acupuncture and herbs. A consultation is required if you wish to pursue this type of treatment. This portion of the web page will be further developed during the year 2000.
