Yin & Yang of Cancer: Breakthroughs from the East and the West Chan Bernard & Halpern Georges M,

There is little doubt that cancer kills without prejudice throughout the world - the pain and sorrow it causes is universal. Although Eastern and Western doctors have the same objectives in the fight against cancer, the ways in which they approach its treatment are worlds apart. To understand their approaches and visualise where they may lead in the battle against cancer is the objective of this unique book. Written by two world-renowned medical researchers and physicians, THE YIN & YANG OF CANCER bridges this information gap to ultimately provide important answers.

THE YIN & YANG OF CANCER begins with a history of how traditional Chinese and Western medicine and science evolved, and how they have interacted with and changed each other. It then provides a clear and detailed discussion of the traditional use of medicinal mushrooms, which the Chinese have employed for centuries in their treatment of cancer - and which could add further weapons to our own cancer-fighting arsenal. Perhaps the answer to cancer is closer than we think, but our cultural blinkers limit our vision.
