Acupuncture For Cancer Support

While cancer survival success rates are continually increasing due to advancements in cancer treatment, the treatments themselves are still very taxing to the body. Radiation and chemotherapies cause numerous debilitating side-effects. Photo of cancer survivor

Dawn Balusik uses acupuncture and herbal medicine to help support health and ease the side effects associated with cancer and cancer treatments. And, she is not alone: Many well known “elite" cancer care facilities such as Moffett Cancer Center, Cancer Treatment Centers of America and the Naval Medical Center include acupuncture to support cancer patients who undergo surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Supporting your total health to aid the healing process is inherently wise. You will be glad to know that you do not have to understand why Acupuncture works to benefit from this holistic approach.

Cancer Support Success Stories:

Melanoma

I was diagnosed with stage four metastatic melanoma on September 28, 2007 and was told the average life expectancy for this level of disease is about 8 months. Now, nearly a year later, and I am doing very well. The last CT and MRI scans showed that the many tumors are shrinking significantly. I have been blessed with a good oncologist, an excellent acupuncture physician, and a great God!

Over the course of many months of chemotherapy, I lost my appetite completely and my energy level was extremely low. So, it was a huge challenge to maintain my weight. I was sinking fast.

I started treatment with Dawn Balusik in March of 2008 and the impact on my health and general outlook was almost immediate. Within days, I was able to eat more, and more often, and my energy level began to improve. As I have continued treatments, my appetite, weight, and vigor have continued to improve dramatically.

Many thanks to Dawn Balusik for the role that she is playing in God’s miracle!
