Introduction
Breast cancer is a national epidemic. The rate of breast cancer
in the United States has continued to grow unabated. Despite the
fact that many new drugs, surgical and radiation techniques have
been developed, they have not had enough impact on impeding the
progress of this life threatening condition.
Dr. Yeshi Dhonden, a renowned traditional Tibetan doctor, and
one of the foremost living authorities on Tibetan Medicine, has
successfully treated breast cancer in thousands of women in both
India and throughout the world for over thirty years. The rate
of survival for women treated with the herbal therapies he has
developed appears to be much higher than those receiving allopathic
cancer treatments alone. Unfortunately, these therapies are virtually
unknown in the West, where the epidemic is out of control. It
is the objective of Dr. Dhonden and the Menla Tibetan Medical
Institute to prove these results through scientifically conducted
clinical trials and to make Tibetan Medicine available to women
in the United States and elsewhere.
In order to more firmly establish the use of these therapies
in the West, Menla has undertaken a research project in collaboration
with the University of California, San Francisco. The purpose
is to prove non-toxicity and substantiate the efficacy of Tibetan
Medicine in the treatment of Metastatic Breast Cancer. To our
knowledge, this is the first study of its kind in the world and
we hope that it will lead to a much greater awareness of this
very effective approach to healing.
Please contact us if you are interested in supporting our research
so that we may bring hope to the millions who are suffering with
this devastating disease.
We would like to acknowledge and remember Dr. Helene Smith,
California Pacific Medical Center, for her pioneering efforts
in developing this project.
