We utilized Chen Pi with patients who
have had many types of cancer as it supports
the immune system and breaks up
stagnations and accumulations.  Most
cancer patients have an underlying Liver
Qi Stagnation and almost always require
our Free & Easy Wanderer formula.
Typically, patients use the formula for 6-8
months for active cancers, and 6 weeks
on and six weeks off for periods of
remission.
Depending on what type of cancer we are
dealing with, appropriate support formulas
are chosen for best results.
