Nowadays, Chinese herbal medicine incorporates not only the use of traditional plant medicines and applications, but also a wide array of newly discovered medicinally active plants. Not only whole plants are utilized, but their isolated active constituents as well. If we understand the molecular biology of plant constituents we can use them precisely, choosing to upregulate or inhibit a specific cellular pathway with a high degree of precision and confidence. The author has been a pioneer in the research and clinical applications of Chinese Herbal Medicines and isolates in all phases of oncology treatment and recovery. Because potent and potentially toxic phytochemicals may be used in cancer therapies, it is essential that clinicians be well trained and have a depth and breadth of clinical skill and knowledge. The book includes an online database featuring 35 formulas, 180 fully referenced herbs 52 isolates and numerous research articles and reference file.
