This is the second edition of our Tong Ren Therapy for cancer text. Much of the book is devoted to a discussion of the causes of Cancer as well as the processes and techniques used to heal Cancer. The theory and techniques presented are based on Tom Tam's research and clinical experience backed by eastern and western medical understandings. There is a chapter for each of the more common forms of Cancer (Breast, Lung, Colon, Liver, Ovarian, etc.) where he explains his theory in more detail as it applies to the particular type of Cancer.

Uses: Cold and Flu Treatment and Prevention. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), our body is vulnerable to attacks of pathogenic influences. The attacks first invade the peripheral and the body reacts with symptoms like fever, cough, and headache. If not halted they further invade the interior of the body and causes severe conditions. The pathogenic influences in modern medical terms belong to bacteria and viruses (e. g., cold viruses and flu viruses).
