Dr. Chien-Fu Liao comes from a family of traditional Chinese herbalists. His childhood was spent watching his grandfather, a highly-skilled and renowned herbalist, treat patients and learning how to pick, cut, and process Chinese herbs into pills. Dr. Liao has over 15 years of experience treating patients in Taiwan and is most renowned for treating unusual and difficult conditions. He currently treats 150 patients daily (mostly using herbs) with the help of his practitioners and interns.

In Part I and Part II of this series, Dr. Liao shares supportive treatment protocols for cancer patients using TCM modalities such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, and nutrition. Participants will learn:

• Western and TCM definitions of cancer

Lastly, Dr. Liao shares his most controversial and effective discovery of why tonics and blood movers need to be used, despite popular opinion that it may increase chance of spreading cancer in the body.
