  • TREATMENT of CANCER with CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE Signe E Beebe DVM, CVA, CVCH, CVT Integrative Veterinary Center Sacramento, California, USA
    TREATMENT OF CANCER WITH CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE Signe E Beebe DVM, CVA, CVCH, CVT Integrative Veterinary Center Sacramento, California, USA The focus of this discussion is on the use of Chinese herbal medicine to treat cancer. Acupuncture and Chinese food therapy are typically combined with Chinese herbs in the treatment of cancer. In addition, European mistletoe (IscadorR, HelixorR) and other integrative therapies such as intravenous Vitamin C can also be used in combination with Chinese medicine to treat cancer. The incidence of cancer in pet animals has been gradually increasing over the past few decades and the features of cancer (tumor genetics, biological behavior and histopathology) in dogs appear to parallel that of humans (Paoloni, M., Khanna C., Science and Society: Translation of New Cancer Treatments from Pet Dogs to Humans, Nature Review Cancer, 2008:8:147-156). Cancer incidence increases with age and according to the AVMA is the leading cause of death in dogs 10 years of age and older. Several European cancer group registries have been tracking and recording the occurrence of spontaneous tumors in pet animals as well. Cancer or malignant neoplasia is a class of disease that involves tissues with an altered cell population that operates independently of normal cellular controls. Three properties differentiate them from benign tumors; cancers grow uncontrollably, invade and destroy adjacent tissues and can metastasize and spread to other parts of the body via blood and or lymphatic circulation. Cancers consume body resources, grow at the expense of the individual and provide no benefit to the body. The most common cancers reported involved the skin (mast cell tumor), mammary glands (adenocarcinoma) and lymph tissue (lymphoma).

CLIMATIC CONDITIONS OF NEW MEXICO AND OSTEO­ PATHIC TREATMENT FOR TUBERCULOSIS. C. H. CONNER M. D., D.O., ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. TUBERCULOSIS is the most widely spread and general disease afflicting mankind. It prevails in all countries but more in large cities and where the population is massed together. The greatest prevalence of tuberculosis is' found where the residents are confined and restricted in the matter of fresh air and a free, open life; condi­ tions which would favor, on the one hand, the presence of bacilli in the atmos­ phere and on the other, lower the vital resistance of the individual. The etiology of this disease has a wide range of different opinions: her­ editary transmissions, modes of living, climate, the bacillus tuberculosis, in­ fection through the air, milk, meat and other articles of food and lastly, trau­ matism and constitutional peculiarities which I wish to discuss from an osteo­ pathic standpoint. Since the announ('ement by Robt. Koch of Berlin, in 1882 of the specific causative factor of tuberculosis (the so-called bacillus of tuber­ culosis), practically nothing has been accomplished in either limiting or pre­ venting the spread of this great malady. Numberless rem~dies and alleged specifics have been heralded to the world from time to time, such as the differ­ ent concoctions of cod liver oil, creosote and the various poisonous prepara­ tions known as serums.

  • A Critical Appraisal of Evidence and Arguments Used by Australian Chiropractors to Promote Therapeutic Interventions
    A CRITICAL APPRAISAL OF EVIDENCE AND ARGUMENTS USED BY AUSTRALIAN CHIROPRACTORS TO PROMOTE THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS Ken Harvey1 MB BS, FRCPA 1 Adjunct Associate Professor Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine Monash University The Alfred Centre 99 Commercial Road Melbourne VIC 3004 Appraisal of Evidence Harvey A CRITICAL APPRAISAL OF EVIDENCE AND ARGUMENTS USED BY AUSTRALIAN CHIROPRACTORS TO PROMOTE THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS ABSTRACT The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency is currently dealing with over 600 complaints about chiropractors. Common allegations in these complaints are that chiropractic adjustments are promoted for pregnant women, infants and children despite the lack of good evidence to justify many of these interventions. The majority of chiropractors complained about appear to be caring practitioners who genuinely believe that the interventions they promote are effective. However, belief based on disproven dogma, the selective use of poor-quality evidence, and personal experience subject to bias is no longer an appropriate basis on which to promote and practice therapeutic interventions. Nor should treatments be justified solely on the basis of possible placebo effect. This paper provides a critical analysis of some of the evidence and arguments used by chiropractors to justify treatments that have been the subject of complaints. This analysis amplifies the recent statement on advertising by the Chiropractic Board of Australia. It should assist practitioners to understand the difference between the high-level evidence required by the Board and the low-level evidence used by some practitioners to justify their promotion and practice. It supports efforts by the Chiropractors' Association of Australia to encourage more research.

İNCI 1Department of Family Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Karabuk University, Karabuk, Turkey 2Department of Internal Medicine and Medical Oncology, Faculty of Medicine, Karabuk University, Karabuk, Turkey Abstract – Objective: We aimed at investigating the knowledge and attitudes of cancer pa- tients who underwent chemotherapy about Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). Patients and Methods: 306 cancer patients filled the CAM questionnaire. The patients were evaluated in terms of frequency of CAM use and CAM type, source of information, and reason for use and some other factors. Results: 92.8% of the patients had knowledge about CAM. 63.4% of them used one of the CAM methods. The patients generally used the CAM method thinking it may provide additional benefit to cancer treatments. Conclusions: It was observed that the rate of CAM use among the cancer patients were high. The patients obtained the information about CAM mostly through the media. Education level, dis- ease stage, and place of residence were the independent predictive factors for the CAM use. They tended to use phytotherapy more often than other applications due to the fact that it has been used in our country for years.
