Mind, Body, and Spirit: Essential Elements for Cancer Recovery

All three elements are required for optimal healing, and combining Western and traditional Chinese medicine is better than sticking to one treatment alone.

Cancer can be prevented, treated, and recovered from if you can enrich your “vital energy” and improve your self-healing capability. This is what Xu Zhonghua, an expert in integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine and a professor at the Institute of Traditional Medicine at Taiwan Yang-Ming Chiao Tung University, said during a recent interview on NTDTV’s “Health 1+1” program.

Xu grew up in a family of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners. After completing his training in Western medicine, he also employed his TCM know-how to treat difficult and complicated diseases, especially cancer. He has been practicing medicine for over 30 years and has seen many cancer patients.

Stories of Healing

Xu cited a case that has remained with him for years. The patient was a French priest, Jacques Leroux, who had lived in Taiwan for over 40 years. One day, he came to see Xu for his blood cancer. He began taking Xu’s prescribed Chinese medicine, and the swollen tumor on the back of his neck gradually improved over a few years.
