Nan Lu, O.M.D., M.S., L.Ac., is the founding director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine World Foundation.

Discover The Power Of Ancient Wisdom
For centuries , Traditional Chinese Medicine has helped millions of cancer patients in China, specializing in reducing the risk of breast cancer and healing it by identifying and treating its root cause. Chinese medicine offers a broad range of time-tested, natural, safe, self-healing treating that can complement prevailing Western cancer treatments.
Traditional Chinese Medicine provides a nine-point healing guide that can be individually customized for women diagnosed with breast cancer; those about to undergo surgery, chemotherapy or radiation; breast cancer survivors who want to prevent recurrence, and any woman looking for serious prevention techniques. With his training, Dr. Nan Lu revives the ancient healing wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine
As a doctor trained in traditional Chinese medicine but practicing in a Western country, Lu has witnessed the benefits and limitations of these two different medical practices and believed they could be used to complement each other for the benefit of the patients, especially breast cancer patients. In this book, he systematically explains the principles and theories of traditional Chinese medicine and its successful application in combating mild to serious illnesses, particularly breast cancer. He uses analogies, graphics, and real patients' accounts to demonstrate how Qigong, acupuncture, and Chinese herbs can help women cope with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. The whole presentation is clear and logical, and even the first ten chapters on the theoretical and historical aspect of Chinese medicine is fascinating and thought-provoking. Strongly recommended for consumer health collections. [Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 5/15/99.]--Lily Liu, Arkansas Children's Hosp.
