1 Cancer is seen as a bio-psycho-social disease.
2. Cancer is a disease of the whole organism.
The relationship between function and structure of life is different in TCM thinking. A person has a functional structure, and also a physical structure.; this is basically an explanation in western terms of how yin and yang work together, or qi and blood. In order for blood to move it needs qi for example. In Chinese Medicine more emphasic is on prevention of cancer. Besides anti cancer herbs, a lot of emphasis is on strenghtening a person'ds immune system. TCM is very effective after chemotherapy , when the person'ds bloodcount is reduced to zero, and the body has to produce new blood; TCM herbs and acupuncture can then help to tonify blood, so the body starts to produce more blood. Blood storage can also be enhanced, by tonifying the liver.
Chinese Medicine holds kindness in high regard. In the treatment of cancer, kindness is very important. The person's ability to "fight cancer" will be stronger if their doctor is kind and considerate, and positive.
