Cancer, a disease that is caused by
uncontrollable cellular proliferation, is
the second leading cause of death on
Earth.8 Today, the promise of living a
life after cancer treatment is higher
than ever. However, the decision of
choosing the path of either modern
medicine or traditional medicine is one

comfortable making themselves.

lymphatic system, there is evidence of
both positives and negatives on both

as Lymphomas have the right to
choose their course of treatment based
on the knowledge we currently have.
