Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Jeff Appelmann, has worked with cancer patients for nearly two decades. Join him as he explains the connection of cancer to the human body from a TCM perspective. Dr. Appelmann will also provide thoughts on how to incorporate different aspects of TCM (such as diet and acupuncture/acupressure) as adjuctive support for cancer care as well as for the prevention of cancer.
