Acupuncture eases cancer treatment side effectsUnconventional therapies, such as acupuncture and herbal treatment, can help relieve the side effects associated with cancer treatments and also

prevent growth of cancer cells, an expert says.

Acupuncturist Dr. Aldrin Neilwan said that acupuncture was used to treat many illnesses and ailments but was mainly used to control pain,

including cancer pain, and to help control nausea and vomiting.

Acupuncture may relieve spikes in body temperature and other side effects of cancer treatments, as well as pain following surgery, he said

during his presentation at Dharmais Cancer Hospital in West Jakarta recently.

Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine that treats patients by insertion and manipulation of needles in the body. It typically incorporates

the use of traditional Chinese herbal medicine as an integral part of its practices and theories.

In the latest study, around 300 patients suffering from moderate to severe fatigue were randomly assigned to receive either acupuncture or

electro acupuncture in which a small electric current is passed between pairs of acupuncture needles.

The study participants felt better and had more energy after the acupuncture, Aldrin told the audience, adding that it also enhanced the immune

system and helped increase body weight, as well as reduce fever and symptoms caused by chemotherapy and other cancer therapies.

Aldrin said he had started the acupuncture treatment in Dharmais Hospital in early 2007 and could now treat around 100 patients per month.

It costs Rp 130,000 (US$15) per patient per session, Aldrin said.

He said that acupuncture therapy did not provide instant results; patients usually feel the results only after 10 to 12 treatment sessions.

According to research by the Stemcell and Cancer Institute, the red betel leaf could be used to prevent the growth of cancer cells.

But we havent tried it on patients yet. We are still conducting laboratory tests on cancer cells from patients, Aldrin said. (drs)

Chinese medicine can help treat Parkinson's

BEIJING, July 22 (Xinhuanet) -- Chinese medicine may be effective in relieving some Parkinsons symptoms and reducing side effects

from levodopa, a drug used to treat the disease, according to AFPs report.

Guoteng, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, proved to be useful in helping patients communicate and sleep better, and treat their

depression to some extent, according to a study conducted by researchers at Hong Kong Baptist University.

"There is no cure for Parkinson's right now, but the study showed Chinese medicine can help treat the disease," a university spokesman

said.

Parkinsons disease, also known asParkinsons, is a progressive neurological disorder involving degeneration of neurons in a region of

the brain that controls movement. Its symptoms include shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement and less of balance.

People over the age of 50 are prone to contract Parkinsons disease. People affected by the disease usually take levodopa which has

some side effects, such as nausea and hallucinations.

Li Min, an associate professor who led the study, said :"The findings provide not only pharmacological proof of the efficacy of Gouteng

in treating Parkinson's disease, but will also help promote the effectiveness and safety of Chinese medicine to the internationalmedicalarena."
