This is all so interesting!! I wish that acupuncture was more accessible to the public! I have a very conflicted opinion of chemo treatment, I don't even know if it should be called a therapy -- though I agree that it can save lives, I also feel that it is a blanket remedy that isn't suitable for everyone.
My 88 year old Grandfather just died a few months ago from the side-affects of chemo treatment recommended by a private cancer center. In the end he had a very disastrous last few weeks and suffered several strokes, and the hospital we ended up taking him to thought that he should have never been treated with chemo to begin with at his advanced age. He of course would have died eventually but the chemo weakened him so much, caused the strokes, and he lost mobility and ability to take care of himself within months when previously he had been very active and fit despite (unknowingly) living with a slow growing cancer.
