Immunology Remove
Immunology
The Immune system has a major impact on our overall health. Many conditions today are considered "auto-immune" disorders - where the body is beginning to attack itself in one way or another.
In Advanced Acupuncture there are specific points for the Immune System that are open and active. These open/active points for the Immune system change every 14 minutes. Dr. Toomim is able to calculate the open/active points to support the Immune system for the time that you are on the treatment table. Many patients can actually feel an extra energy boost once those points are treated.
Chinese Medicine has been using the Immune system to treat Cancer for 5000 years. Now we are seeing the latest Cancer drugs are using the same focus. Rousing the Immune system to defend against Cancer is both the age-old method and the newest clinical weapon in the fight to heal the body from Cancer.
