Oncologist Dr. Raymond Chang makes a strong argument that when you fight the terrorism of cancer you need to use all available counter weapons. A strong believer in practitioner of integrative medicine, Dr. Chang states that the “Magic Bullet’ has not arrived in spite of dedicated efforts of scientists in a declared war in which billions have been spent since 1971. Instead he suggests to think outside the crypt before the patient is buried inside a box by deploying a multi front fight to include acceptable traditional Western approaches like surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, combined with other Eastern treatments to include expanding the use of accepted drugs used for other health needs, nutritional supplements and herbal teas and soups, and homeopathic, etc. in an anti-cancer cocktail. As Chinese medical practices have accepted for over a millennia, throw the kitchen sink at deadly cancer. Although peer group review of scientific data of much of Dr. Chang’s cocktail is limited, it provides hope for those who are in deadly combat against a killer. Easy to follow with anecdotal case studies like the septuagenarian prostrate victim and an analysis of each element of the cocktail, Dr. Chang provides a powerful alternative approach to the traditional queuing of treatments stacked one after another; by fostering a concurrent scatter attack of multiple treatments in an individual’s war against cancer.
