30 days is a course of treatment, followed by a 2 week break in treatment. Three courses are recommended. It has also been recommended to take a course once yearly following remission to prevent recurrence.
Cautions:
1. While it is generally very well tolerated, it is toxic in overdose.
2. Begin with lesser doses and increase over a period of a couple of weeks.
3. Some patients have mild stomach dysfunction which disappears with continued use.
Modifications:
1. This has been used for around 40 years in China. It was developed by a famous TCM Oncologist and has been widely used since. It is officially authorised as a Cancer treatment in China and has won various awards in China including an award for ‘Reliable Product’ by the China Medical Institute. There are reportedly 1000’s of confirmed cases having been cured using this medicine, either alone or in conjunction with chemo- or radio-therapy. It is well tolerated with little or no side effects, the patient usually feeling better within a week or two.
2. Proven to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis, increasing immunity, enhancing sensitivity of anoxic cells to Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy as well as relieving side effects of Chemo- and Radio-therapy and prolong the patients life.
3. While in Chengdu, China, I was shown X-rays of a patient with advanced Lung Cancer. He used Ping Xiao capsules and successive X-rays showed a gradual improvement. When his X-rays were clear, he refused further treatment despite advice to continue treatment longer. About a year later he returned with large masses in both Lungs. He took the capsules again and again the tumors disappeared. This was from the 1990’s and he was followed up for many years without relapse. (Adam)
4. The use of Nux Vomica means this formula will not be allowed for use in Western countries. However, as I have noted elsewhere, it is interesting that various authorities including Eli Jones in his book Cancer have stated that Nux Vomica is required in Cancer therapy to strengthen the weak and feeble pulse.
