Following case histories are based on the book

Note: The case histories below are abstracted from the book. They were reported with the herbal formulations that were used by the patients. It is very difficult to include those herbal formulations here because the formulations changed with the course of treatment. Furthermore, westerners are not familiar with the way case histories are reported in TCM. Therefore, the main objective of presenting these case histories is to give a bird's eye view of using pure TCM or ITCM to treat cancer and the resulting survival time. After all, the bottom line is the length of survival time in any cancer treatment, whether conventional or alternative. Readers who wish to have more information in the book may email this website.

Unless otherwise stated, pure TCM treatment after the initial intensive treatment, or TCM treatment after the conventional treatment in ITCM is lifelong but at lower maintenance dose to prevent the reccurence just like the maintenance dose in nutritional supplements after the intensive treatment in western nutritional treatment.
