Abstract
Biophoton measurements of acupuncture points in patients with a diagno sis of breast cancer reveal the need for comprehensive support of the immune system, mitigation of side effects related to chemotherapy and radiation treatments, inhibition of tumor growth, and initiation of DN A detoxification and repair. Based an our limited clinical observation s, petrochemical and pesticide induced damage of the immune system and DNA appear to be at the root of this modern epidemic. Comparing in vi tro tests of anti-tumor Chinese herbs with in vivo clinical prescripti ons confirms the complex challenge of supporting breast cancer patient s so that the best possible clinical outcome can be achieved with the minimum of side effects.
