Getting diagnosed with cancer can be a scary and life-changing moment for most people. Deciding where to go next and whom to trust can feel like a race against the clock for some. According to cancer.gov, "In 2022, roughly 1.9 million people will be diagnosed with cancer in the United States. An estimated 287,850 women and 2,710 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer, which makes it the most common cancer diagnosis."

Chronic Myelogenous Cancer affects the bone marrow that increases the number of white blood cells in the bloodstream. Chronic in this kind of cancer means a slower progression and myelogenous is the kind of cell affected by the cancer. You can read more about it here.

Chemotherapy is a popular response to cancer that is supposed to kill rapidly growing cells in the body. Unfortunately, chemotherapy has severe side effects that usually don't correct the root cause of this disease. Side effects of chemo include fatigue, sickness, hair loss, infections, anemia, bruising, bleeding, sore mouth, loss of appetite, diarrhea, nerve issues, pain, and more. Some side effects can even stay stuck in the nervous system long after chemotherapy treatment which can permanently alter thinking and memory.

Luckily, Traditional Chinese Medicine has ways of treating this cancer without chemotherapy. Studies show that TCM for treating Leukemia can "alleviate adverse symptoms, improve quality of life, and prolong overall survival, without incurring excess medical expenditure."

We see that to be the case from a patient of Dr. Ming Wu's who had Leukemia for 9 years.

"I had had chronic myelogenous leukemia for 9 years, which was suppressed with chemotherapy pills. Although leukemia was suppressed, it was never cured, and as soon as I quit the drugs, it came back. I had to suffer side effects and couldn’t get pregnant because of the drugs. Over the course of 9 years, I tried many things and challenged Western medicine in every possible way, but the condition stubbornly remained.

Dr. Wu gave me herbs and private sessions, 1 x week, for 1.5 months. When I was around him, my mind was transformed forever. However, 1.5 months, I stopped seeing him, because I ran out of money and got scared his therapy didn’t work. However, I continued following his dietary advice, dong Qi Gong every day and believing in his advice. 4 months later I found out that I was pregnant and the cancer was gone.

Today, I am 22 weeks pregnant and still cancer-free. I continue what Dr. Wu started and hope to remain healthy.

Eternally grateful and blessed,
