  • TCM Meridian Vessels Screening

    A A A
    TCM Meridian Vessels Screening
    The TCM meridian vessels health screening takes the Chinese medicine meridian theory as a theory basis. It is a screening method to know patient’s condition of Qi and blood and the yin-yang balance. During the screening process, cancer patient’s bio-electricity of twelve meridians is reduced by inductor of advanced electronics devices. Then data of bio-electricity are sent to the computer and compared with the data from the central database. A comprehensive analysis will be conducted on the returned data to know the patient’s condition. The TCM meridian vessels screening consists of whole-body meridian vessels screening and auricular holographic screening. They are comprehensive, non-invasive, practical, simple and efficient. This screening method can make an overall assessment on cancer patient’s immune function and recovery of organ function after surgery and chemo-radiotherapy. It can also make primary diagnosis for the disease and propose corresponding suggestions.

    Scope of screening includes; respiratory system, nervous system, hepatobiliary system, reproductive system, urinary system, endocrine system, cardiovascular disease, bone and spinal diseases, digestive diseases, immune function and metabolic disease, etc. The data of each organ can be clearly shown.
    
    
  • Auricular Diagnosis and Treatment

    A A A
    Auricular Diagnosis and Treatment
    Auricular diagnosis is valuable for preliminary screening of cancer survey and identification on the nature of the tumor. It also provides objective basis for early diagnosis and preliminary screening.

    Traditional Chinese medicine has applied auricular point to diagnose and treat diseases for thousands of years. Auricular diagnostic and therapeutic methods were first documented in the Chinese extant and its earliest medical work Huang Di Nei Jing (The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine), which stated that the nature and location of various diseases could be determined by inspection of the shape, color, moistness, and collateral of the ear. Thus, different points on the external ear correspond with specific organs and body functions. Traditional Chinese medicine views the body and further, the whole person, as a unified organic whole. Spiritual, mental, emotional and physical aspects are all seen as interrelated and interdependent. Modern biological holographic law states that every individual organ contains holographic information. Applying the auricular diagnostic and therapeutic method to diagnose has received extensive attention and gained some achievement throughout modern medical studies. Research report shows that when the organs are diseased, the pathological change will be present on the auricular point on the external ear, such as change of shape and color, desquamation, papule, sensitive to pressing pain and low dermal resistance. These phenomena can be the basis for assistant diagnosis. The auricular diagnosis is of great value on a preliminary screening of cancer survey and identification of property of tumor. Moreover, it provides objective basis for the early diagnosis and preliminary screening. The local observation on the external ear and the information diagnosis are simple, time-saving and low-cost. They are worth promoting and popularizing and they are significant in early diagnosis and treatment of the tumor.

    Auricular diagnosis can work as the assistant method for cancer diagnosis. Auricular diagnosis includes observation, pressing and determination on dermal resistance. Cancer patient’s positive characteristic of ear presents with the thickening and hump of the auricular area and the abnormal change in skin color. Therefore, the existence of the tumor can be determined through observation of the ear and information diagnosis.

    At present, clinical report mainly focus on the auricular inspection, which are inspecting of the abnormal change on the ear and measuring the electric conductivity of the diseased part on the ear, and making a comprehensive diagnosis on the reaction of dermal resistance. This detection method is available for the general cancer survey among large-scale field and it can provide valuable evidence for suspected case and objective marker for cancer recurrence after surgery.

    Studies show that seven external auricular points are found through studying large amounts of information about ear exam. These auricular points represent different properties, such as tumor specific areaⅠ, tumor specific area Ⅱ, endocrine, adrenal gland and sub-cortex. They reflect the existence of tumor and its property and they also indicate the stages of the tumor.

    Auricular therapy in treating precancerous lesion.
    Modern medicine attaches great importance to the prevention in cancer and treatment, which is “early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment”. While TCM proposes treating before the disease attack, that is, applying preventive treatment to precancerous lesion so as to reduce the cancer morbidity. Treating the chronic disease, which may develop into cancer, is the key to preventing cancer. Patients often have long-term medical history of chronic disease before their malignant tumor developes into cancer. These chronic diseases can be chronic gastritis (especially the atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia), gastric ulcer, severe hyperplasia in the esophagus and gastric mucosa cells, multiple intestinal polyps, cervical erosion, cystic hyperplasia of the breast, intraductal papilloma and hepatitis B.

    The auricular diagnostic and therapeutic method has many characteristics. It can diagnose, treat and prevent diseases. Moreover, it is safe, effective, and free of side effects, easy to operate and patient-friendly, so it has a unique advantage in cancer prevention and recovery. The auricular therapy is featured with good regulation on overall function, which can promote cancer patient’s recovery of bodily functions after surgery, improve the overall condition and boost immunity.

    Auricular acupuncture can regulate Qi and blood, balance yin and yang, benefit liver and kidney, tonify spleen and benefit Qi, consolidate the origin, strengthen the body resistance and the organ function to boost the internal ability to fight disease. Therefore, applying this green treatment in the early stage can prevent the precancerous lesions from transferring to cancer and restore some atypical cells back to normal cells, which is an important section for cancer prevention.

    The auricular diagnostic and therapeutic method has a long history and it has developed rapidly in recent years. The auricular medicine has been a systemic and comprehensive disciplinary system and it will have special room for improvement in further clinical practice and study. In the future, with the development of cancer prevention and treatment and the further study on the principle of auricular point in treating disease, the auricular diagnostic and therapeutic method will play a progressive role in the Non-Toxic Integrative Cancer Treatment with its remarkable effect and promising development prospect. We expect that this green treatment can make a breakthrough in cancer prevention, rehabilitation medicine, and most importantly, make further contribution to health care of human beings.
    
    
  • Asyra Testing

    A A A
    Asyra Testing
    Due to the metabolic changes, loss of appetite and psychological reason, cancer patients consume less food and they may easily suffer from malnutrition. The Asyra Testing utilizes the principle of magnetic field of human body to screen the body condition in a non-invasive way. It indicates the food intolerance (what kind of foods should avoid eating), analysis on internal nutrient content (whether there is lack of fatty acid, vitamin, mineral substance or not), internal toxin screening (whether there is excessive metallic elements or toxins), and condition of organ and meridian function. Applying the Asyra Testing to cancer patient makes the doctors know whether there is food intolerance and deficiency of internal nutrient content. Based on the result of Asyra Testing, doctors can then provide a specific nutritional support program for the patients.
    
    
  • Thermal Texture Map (TTM)

    A A A
    Thermal Texture Map (TTM)
    Thermal Texture Map is the fifth leading medical imaging technology, after X-ray, ultrasonic, CT and MR. It is a green and non-invasive examination tool. This unique collection and analysis technique on metabolic heat of whole-body cell provides new solutions for early prevention on disease and chronic disease treatments.

    Thermal Texture Map (TTM) is a imaging equipment whose major function is in accepting the heat released by histocyte metabolic heat. The real-time metabolic status of diseased tissue is determined according to the difference between distribution of normal metabolic heat and that of lesion and its surrounding tissues. Then the doctors will make diagnosis and early risk assessment for the disease, and monitor on the effects of disease intervention.

    Technical Advantage of TTM
    1.Early Detection and Clinical Guideline
    Disease starts from the changes of the cell function. At this time, the X-ray, CT, ultrasound and even the blood test can not indicate any pathological changes in the body. While the TTM system is highly sensitive to the changes or abnormity of cell function and it can detect small changes in the body, thus improving the early detection of diseases.

    2.Evaluate the Therapeutic Effect; Accurately Guide the treatment; Improve Therapeutic Efficacy
    It is convenient to conduct TTM examination since the TTM can completely record and show the conditions real-time of the metabolic heat in the cell, it is suitable for monitoring the therapeutic effect. Comparing patient’s condition before and after the treatment helps the clinical doctors make a more effective and individualized treatment.

    3.High Accuracy
    TTM has high accuracy and specificity on the infectious diseases, functional impairment in histocyte disorder, ischemic disease and malignant tumor. It is of great value in malignant lesions of deep histocyte on diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

    4.Three-Minute Whole Body Scan
    It only takes 2 to 3 minutes to finish the whole body TTM scan. The professional doctors analyze large amounts of information in the computer and will know your health condition of all the organs.

    5.Non-Invasive, Non-Intrusive and Free of Radiation
    During the TTM examination process, only information about metabolic heat in the cell is received. The examination is safe and available for repeated administration. There is no possibility for inducing disease due to the examination.

    Clinical Application of TTM
    1.Application in sub-health condition (preventive treatment of disease)
    Sub-health condition is defined as a state between health and disease. The whole body information from every TTM scan is a comprehensive judgment that no other technique can acquire. As for the health care of sub-health people, the TTM has great advantage of evaluating the effect of enhancing and nursing health. 

    2.Application in chronic diseases
    Through the TTM analysis, people can acknowledge their functional metabolism state of all systems and organs and then nourish themselves with drug, food or some physical methods. They can also adjust their life style so as to treat the chronic diseases in its early stages, control the development of chronic diseases and improve quality of chronic patients’ life. TTM can monitor throughout the whole process. The nourishing treatment changes when the metabolic functions change, aiming to achieve the best effect.

    3.Screening for precancerous lesions
    As the TMM has sensitivities and it can get the whole body information through one examination, it is especially suitable for early screening on disease and characteristic body check-up. TTM mainly reflects the histocyte metabolism condition at a certain stage of the disease. It provides reliable evidence for early detection on the diseases, such as cancerous lesions or lesion with malignant tendency (some ulcer). Early detection is good for early intervention.

    4.TTM in malignant tumor
    TMM can determine the activity, infiltration and blood supply of the tumor. It is excellent in determining the malignant tumor of superficial tissue like mammary gland and thyroid gland, and lymphatic metastasis compared to other equipments. Moreover, TMM will not be affected by the size of the tumor so it can determine the pathological changes and risk at an early stage, aiming for early detection,

    5.Assessment on vasculopathy
    TTM is often applied to determine the blood supply in important organs like the heart and brain. Compared with other equipment, TTM is simple, convenient and non-invasive. It is an important supplement for angiographic diagnosis.

    Precaution
    1. Do not consume any food 1 hour before the examination.

    2. Avoid alcohol consumption and spicy foods 24 hours before the examination. If you have taken any medical drugs, health products or eaten any spicy foods, please inform your doctor before scanning.

    3.Avoid vigorous exercises 4 hours before the examination.

    4. Avoid washing your hands 20 minutes before the examination.

    5.Wear loose clothing and avoid applying any skin care product and cosmetics on the body.

    6. For the female patient, if you are undergoing your menstrual period, please let the doctor know.

    Typical Cases
    Case A
    The TTM indicated that there is a lung metastasis in a breast cancer patient. The patient asked the doctor to undergo active treatments. In the TTM re-examination a month later, the metastatic lesion has been cured, successfully preventing cancer from spreading. In the past three years, she persisted with undergoing TTM examinations regularly and the doctor gave her a preventive nourishing treatment specifically, which protected her body from disturbances by cancer.

    Case B
    Mr. Zhang found that he had high risk for stroke in the TTM examination. However, there was nothing abnormal in the CT re-examination. Mr. Zhang didn't take it seriously and he didn’t listen to doctor’s advice about preventive treatment. Later he was suddenly attacked by a stroke. Although he was treated in time and there was no sequela left, he unfortunately spent a lot of money.
