In 1975 for example, there was 5.9 million new cases worldwide this rose to 12 million new cases in 2007. If these trends continue, health officials predict that by 2030, 17 million people will die
worldwide of cancer, and 75 million people will be living with the disease and require treatment and follow-up care.That makes cancer the leading killer inthe world, claiming more lives than AIDS, TB and malaria combined. It is a crisis for public health andhealth systems worldwide.
In Chinese Medicine cancer is considered the manifestation of du-toxins, which evolved from different aspectsof heat pathology. Over time, this pathological heat process consumes the vitality and essences of the body mind spirit continuum.Within Chinese medicine, many strategies have evolved to deal effectively with these toxinsand rectify the pathological process.
