lung cancer pain reduction Posted: 01-02-08 08:04am
Hi My one of my best friend is suffering
from lung cancer and I want to reduce his
pain. Can someone tell me some measure to
reduce the pain? If the measures are
herbal then it will be more helpful.

What has he received for pain relief
already?
Is he treated with chemotherapy or
radiotherapy?
It's good to know that some herbal
supplements used as pain killers may
interfere with chemotherapy or radiation.
On the other side that's not the case with
acupuncture.
Acupuncture as alternative treatment, was
found to be helpful for pain relief when
drugs aren't enough, or when the side
effects of pain medications become a
problem.
