Ok, I'm probably going to stir up some controversy here, but a while ago back I stumbled on an interesting article about a person from Australia that wound up in Guanzhou, China for head and neck cancer treatment, I think becaue of mets to the brain and the hospital in Guanzhou was able to do Gamma knife therapy, also has some other gene therapy's going on in addition to traditional Chinese medicine.

The doctor at that particular hospital suggested NOT doing acupuncture on cancer patients because it could possibly stimulate the cancer cells.

Since acupuncture is a traditional Chinese treatment, and this is a pretty large cancer center in China, I'll take it that he knows what he's talking about.

You may want to check into that theory though.
