Wholistic Approaches to Cancer Support and Prevention

According to the American Cancer Society, cancer, not cardiovascular disease, is now the number-one cause of death for Americans under the age of 85. One of the greatest unnecessary diseases of our time, about 156 Americans learn they have cancer every hour, and there are about 563,000 cancer-related deaths each year. One in two men and one in three women will develop cancer at some point in their lives. Cancer-related costs in the US are almost $200 billion per year. Exploding disease management costs in the US are one of the greatest barriers to national economic health.

In most cases, cancer is essentially a lifestyle disease—a deficiency and toxicity condition that is usually preventable. Conventional treatments such as chemotherapy are symptomatic interventions that do nothing to address the source or cause of this disease, and often have effects on life quality worse than the cancer itself.

Because of the staggering prevalence of this mostly needless disease, this is one of the most important and practical lectures available today. What you will learn will help you prevent cancer in yourself and others, possibly avoiding suffering and premature death for perhaps thousands of people. We will also explore natural options for supporting health in those who have cancer.

Preventing & Treating Cardiovascular Disease

Cardiovascular disease is the number-one cause of death in the world. The greatest unnecessary disease of our time, it affects 61.8 million Americans. There are over one million deaths per year (one every 33 sec.) in the US alone. The World Health Organization estimates 12 million deaths per year worldwide–every second death globally is cardiovascular in men and women. It includes hypertension (30 million people in the US), coronary artery disease (which includes heart attack and angina pectoris), stroke (3 million people in the US), congestive heart failure, and congenital cardiovascular defects. Costs to manage this disease in the US are well over $300 billion annually. Exploding disease management costs in the US are one of the greatest barriers to national economic health. Cardiovascular disease is essentially a deficiency condition that in most cases is correctable and preventable.

Integrating Key Western Botanicals in Clinical Practice

Western herbal medicine has much to offer the Chinese medicine practitioner. Rather than attempting to teach how to integrate the entire Western material medical into an AOM setting, this presentation will explore the clinical relevance of incorporating a limited range of essential Western herbs. We will begin with an overview of Western herbal medicine, including the energetics of Western herbs, and issues of efficacy and quality. We will continue with a short review of key Western herbs that have major relevance in the AOM clinic. Echinacea, for example, emerges as a key herb for immune system function that has no counterpart in TCM. You will learn of groundbreaking new research, which will significantly change what you know about Echinacea's effects on the immune system and how it actually works. The seminar emphasizes a practical way to introduce Western! herbs into the AOM clinic—based on the presenter’s clinical experience and validated with case histories, which demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.
