Reviews

From the reviews:“The 14 chapters of this reference book sequentially address overviews of supportive cancer care with acupuncture, herbs and qigong … and then approach the topic by TCM’s application to side-effects associated with surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. … The repetition of information and references across chapters from different angles of regard may well serve those readers interested in a subset of the book … . a welcome and more complete contribution to the use of TCM as supportive care in cancer.” (B. R. Cassileth and K. Simon Yeung, Focus on Alternative and Complementary Therapies, Vol. 15 (3), September, 2010)
