Moxibustion for Cancer-Related Symptoms and Treatment Side Effects: An Integrative Perspective on Emotional and Physical Health.

A man in late 60s came to the shop after reading my pervious article about moxibustion treatment for numbness and pain of his feet. It was Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN). He’s been to acupuncture for a few years and he experienced some improvement; however his progress eventually plateaued so discontinue acupuncture treatment.
Researchers and authors Gregg Braden and Bruce Lipton PHD, whose views align with my own, suggest that traumatic experiences may affect the body beyond conscious memory. Braden proposes that unresolved emotional stress can contribute to ongoing physical discomfort, also Bruce Lipton, in his work The Biology of Belief, emphasizes how our perceptions, beliefs, and emotional states can influence our health. So unresolved emotional experiences may continue to affect a person's wellbeing long after the actual events have passed. With this in mind I often ask clients about their stress levels, past traumas, and what was happening in their lives around the time they became ill.

During the consultation, it became apparent that discussing his father still evoked some unresolved emotions. Although he had undergone various therapies and felt he had worked through these issues, I wanted to explore whether he would experience further improvement by addressing any remaining resentment and anger.

I use Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), also known as tapping, to support emotional regulation, stress reduction, and nervous system calming alongside body-based supportive care strategies. Although I had not intended to use EFT extensively, I continued the approach because the client experienced a noticeable and rapid reduction in numbness and physical discomfort during the consultation.

While individual responses will always vary, the extent of change observed in this session was very interesting. It highlights the potential value of working with both emotional and physical dimensions of wellbeing simultaneously.

The next step in his care was to use moxibustion after addressing the emotional factors that appeared to be contributing to his overall wellbeing. Moxibustion is a traditional adjunctive modality aimed at promoting relaxation, warmth, and circulation, alongside continued body-based and emotional regulation strategies. Client was also encouraged to practice EFT techniques between sessions to support self-healing, stress management, and general wellbeing.

I also suggested MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane), a sulfur-containing compound that may help support the body's natural detoxification pathways, and antioxidant activity, and healthy inflammatory responses. MSM is often used to support overall wellbeing and may be beneficial as part of a broader approach to managing discomfort and promoting recovery.

Moxibustion for the Treatment of Cancer and its Complications: Efficacies and Mechanisms on
NIB (National Library of Medicine). For thousands of years, people in Asian countries such as China, Korea, and Japan have used moxibustion as a traditional therapy for a wide range of health conditions. According to this report that moxibustion may help cancer patients by reducing chemotherapy side effects, improving quality of life, supporting immune function, and potentially enhancing anticancer activity.

Saved From Amputation: Effective use of Moxibustion on Diabetic foot/leg Pain and numbness.

One day, a man in his 60s came into the shop with severe left leg pain. He was very reluctant to see a doctor, as he feared the possibility of amputation. He had a long history of type 2 diabetes and had experienced a progressive loss of sensation in his foot over several years.

Diabetes is known to affect the nerves and circulation over time. High blood sugar can damage both the small blood vessels and the nerve fibres that supply the extremities. This condition is known as diabetic neuropathy. In Australia, diabetes is a significant contributing factor to thousands of lower-limb amputations each year.

Nerves can be understood as communication pathways in the body. They rely on adequate oxygen and nutrients to transmit signals effectively. When blood sugar remains elevated over long periods, the longest nerves - particularly those extending to the feet - are often affected first. This is why symptoms commonly begin in the lower limbs.

The lower part of his left leg appeared very pale, with reduced colour extending from the foot up to just below the knee, suggesting compromised circulation. He had no sensation in his foot, yet experienced intense and persistent pain just below the knee. This may be associated with neuropathic changes, where nerve function becomes disrupted and pain is perceived in areas where partial nerve activity remains.

I have been using Moxibustion as a supportive approach for clients experiencing physical pain. Moxibustion involves the burning of dried mugwort (wormwood) near acupuncture points or affected areas. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is used with the intention of supporting circulation, reducing stagnation, and assisting the body’s natural recovery processes in muscles, joints, and connective tissues. It’s great for joint pain.

There are different sizes and types of moxa sticks. In this case, an adhesive mini moxa stick was used, which produces a strong and sustained heat. Normally, it would be removed before burning completely. However, due to the client’s complete loss of sensation in the foot, it remained in place until it finished burning, resulting in a thermal injury.

Following the session the colour of the lower limb came to normal, and returned feeling of the foot. The change was amazing!

I have also observed several elderly clients with chronic wounds on their legs that had not healed for many months or even years. In one case, a client had been living with an open wound for approximately three years. After the treatment, the lady came back to the shop excited to let me know that her wound had closed up.

If you are experiencing numbness, pain, or slow wound healing, you are welcome to visit Kim at Bribie Simply Healthy / Bribie Healing Centre, Shop 2, 41 Benabrow Avenue, Bellara.

The remarkable health benefits of Lyposomal Vitamin C
One of the most popular products from the Bribie Simply Healthy is Lypo- Spheric Vitamin C. When people come to the shop having infections I often suggest to them to take two Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C’s a day for three days and most often they come back to buy more. If the symptom is serious you can take up to 4 satchels a day. You can feel the difference within twenty minutes, after taking it. I am truly amazed by this product. Vitamin C is famous for reducing the infection and clearing foreign entities in our blood.

I have done further research regarding what Vitamin C does to us and the difference between typical vitamin C and Lypo- Spheric Vitamin C. Vitamin C has high antioxidants; antioxidants work to protect cells from damage by free radicals. Free radicals contribute to chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. Antioxidant plays a critical role in maintaining your body’s immune system and heart function. Vitamin C protects the arterial walls throughout the body.

Many complementary doctors administer vitamin C directly into the bloodstream through IV infusions as part of cancer treatment, with the aim of helping destroy cancer cells. Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C does exactly that. Antioxidants help to slow down or stop the process of damaged cells in your body. Vitamin C helps to reduce infections and prevents the oxidation of cholesterol in the bloodstream. Vitamin C is famous for cleaning up infections and improving resistance to upper respiratory tract infections.

Lack of Vitamin C causes fatigue, inflammation of the gums; joint pain and poor wound healing. Vitamin C is good for lung function and overall oxygenation within the body. Asthmatics tend to have a higher need for vitamin C and doses of 2000 mg per day lessen the body’s production of histamine and lung associated inflammation. Vitamin C also helps production of collagen, which is the major constituent in ligaments, bones, discs, tendons and skin. High dose Vitamin C has been shown to improve the healing process of burns, cuts, wounds, sprains/strains and broken bones. It is also extremely important for the health of the eyes and many experts believe that as little as 1000mg of Liposomal Vitamin C daily may stop cataracts all together.

So what is difference between normal Vitamin C and Liposomal Vitamin C? Most vitamin C we take is water-soluble but our cell membrane wall is made up of fatty acids, which is fat- soluble matrix. Vitamin C we buy from the shop shelves is water-soluble, the problem with water-soluble Vitamin�C is absorption, the large portion of Vitamin C ends up wasted, only 20% can be absorbed. Also a high dosage of water-soluble Vitamin C causes cramping and diarrhea. Liposomal Vitamin C is packaged like a bodily cell so it passes through the digestive barrier and delivers the nutrient directly to the bloodstream, which has a much higher absorption rate. The best carrier for Liposomal Vitamin C is Phosphatidyl Choline (PC). Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C has nearly 100% instant delivery to liver and blood stream. For further information contact Kim at Bribie Simply Healthy.

My name is Heenam Kim, and I am an EFT (Emotion al Freedom Techniuqe), also known as Tapping, therapist. I work with people’s emotions to help support emotional wellbeing and reduce stress-related symptoms. EFT is a mind body therapy that combines gentle tapping on acupressure points with focused attention on emotional or physical issues.

The underlying principle of EFT is that all emotions and thoughts influence the body as well as the mind. Stress, unresolved emotions, and past experiences can affect how we feel physically and emotionally. Many people find that when emotional stress is reduced, their physical discomfort and overall wellbeing can also improve. The positive or negative energy has a very real physical manifestation that affects all functions of the body.

The remarkable discoveries about the bio-field and genetic behaviour, one of the most extraordinary new fields of research focus on how our emotions affect our health.
According to Ph.D.Bruice Lipton the author of ‘Biology of Belief’ said you are not controlled by your genetics. Your genes are controlled by your environment. It is called ‘epigenetics’.

Quit Smoking and Va**ng: Break Free from the Hidden Trap
Are you tired of wasting your money, your time, and your health on smoking or va**ng?
Maybe a part of you is already saying enough is enough.

Behind the addictive patterns, there is often a missing link: ANXIETY. In many cases when the anxiety is reduced the smoking pattern reduces. This suggests that for many people, smoking is not just a habit, but a coping mechanism for underlying stress or emotional discomfort. When the anxiety is addressed, the urge to smoke can weaken or even disappear. That’s why, in many cases, anxiety is not just associated with addiction—it can be a key driver behind it.

Smoking is not just a ni****ne addiction. Modern ci******es are highly engineered. When a cigarette burns, it produces thousands of chemicals, many of which are toxic to the body. To***co naturally contains sugars, and additional sugars are often added during processing to improve taste and smoothness. This means that every time you smoke, your body is hit with a sugar, so your blood sugar shift. So that “relief” you feel is not only ni****ne hit, it is due to sugar high, which temporary change in your body chemistry. This is why when people quit smoking, many people struggle with sugar cravings. Sugar alone is most addictive substances in the world.

Most va**ng products contain ni****ne, which keeps the addiction cycle going. Va**ng often maintains the habit of you still rely on something external to cope. The hand-to-mouth pattern continues and your brain still associates inhaling with relief. Many people end up va**ng more frequently than they smoked.

You may believe that smoking (or va**ng) helps you relax. But these substances do not remove anxiety. It only masks it temporarily. There are several other reasons why smoking/va**ng feels calming: Deep breathing – Each inhale activates your body’s relaxation response. This calming effect comes from the breathing—not the cigarette alone. Eye movement and posture – Many smokers naturally look upward when they inhale. In NLP(Neuo Linguistic Programming), this shift in gaze can influence your internal state. Combined with breathing, it can reduce emotional intensity. Over time, your mind links smoking and va**ng with “relief,” even though the stress remains underneath. In reality, nothing has changed. What you’re experiencing is not true relaxation. It’s an illusion created by an engineered product.

Behind action of smoking and va**ng or any addictive behaviours are emotional coping patterns, The hand-to-mouth action, Stress relief rituals, Subconscious conditioning. This is why quitting can feel difficult when relying on willpower alone. You’re not just breaking a habit—you’re undoing a program.

Quitting is regaining control. When you stop smoking your body begins healing almost immediately. Your lungs start to clear and your energy improves. Your mind becomes less dependent on external relief Cravings may come—but they are temporary. They are simply signals from old conditioning.

Let’s retrain or reprograming that you can learn how to calm your body naturally. Understand your emotional triggers. Release anxiety at its core and Rewire subconscious patterns.

A Smarter Way to Quit Smoking

Instead of relying on willpower alone, address the root causes:
Learn how to calm your body through breathing (the same way smoking mimics)
Stabilise your blood sugar with proper nutrition
Release emotional triggers using techniques like EFT, hypnosis, or subconscious work
Rewire the belief that smoking helps you cope.

Releasing Trauma/PTSD: From Survival to Freedom

We all carry trauma in our lives. Some experiences are mild, while others are more severe, but their impact on the nervous system often depends on how we perceive them, through our expectations, the meanings we attach, and the way we place blame on ourselves or others.

When trauma occurs, the body shifts into a protective state. This can be seen through increased stress hormones, a heightened heart rate, muscle tension, and emotional reactivity. Over time, these responses can become “stuck,” even when the original danger has passed. As a result, people may find themselves reacting strongly, feeling anxious, or unable to move forward in certain areas of life. These are not signs of weakness—they are signs that the body is still holding onto unresolved stress patterns.

At a deeper level, our bodies hold more than just stress responses. The nucleus of every cell carries information that reflects our true nature—reminding us that we are far more than the limitations we have been conditioned to believe.
The encouraging news is that trauma is not only measurable, it is also changeable. Approaches such as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) psychotherapy work directly with the body’s stress response. By gently tapping on specific acupressure points while focusing on emotional experiences, EFT helps calm the nervous system and reduce the intensity of stored emotional reactions. What once felt overwhelming can begin to feel manageable, and over time, the emotional charge connected to past experiences can significantly decrease.
Healing does not require reliving the past. It involves helping the body recognise that it is safe again. With the right support, it is possible to release what has been holding you back and reconnect with a sense of calm, resilience, and inner balance.

MSM Miracle

There is a doctor/herbalist in Korea who became popular for his effectiveness in treating cancer patients; amazingly his main remedies are MSM powder and pure vitamin C powder.

So I have some more research about MSM and it seems like a miraculous product. MSM (Methylsulfonyl- methane) is 34% Sulphur, 34% Oxygen, 26% carbon and 6% hydrogen bonds. MSM is high in sulphur helps boost glutathione. Glutathione is present in our cells but it declines, as we grow older. MSM’s role in increasing the production of the antioxidant glutathione adds to its benefit for degenerative conditions such as. Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. MSM is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory and detoxifying to the body. MSM has been used to treat a number of conditions such as headache, fibromyalgia, arthritis, back pain, muscle soreness, sclerosis, whiplash, tennis elbow, high blood pressure, allergies, joint injuries and carpal tunnel syndrome. MSM is excellent for dissolving unwanted calcium deposit in the joints, which often causes joint stiffness. MSM is known for releasing of metal accumulation in the body, it even passes through the blood-brain barrier, which assists in flushing out toxins build-up and cleans the harmful metal from the brain. MSM is also a commonly used for decalcifying the pineal gland and may be helpful for dissolving old scar tissue. It helps to improve metabolism and immune functions.

According to some study MSM at high doses is an effective cancer treatment for even advanced cancer patients because of it’s ability to get rid of lactic acid in the bloodstream and kill microbes in the bloodstream. MSM is an excellent addition to chemotherapy, it will help the chemotherapy target the cancer cells and will make the chemotherapy more effective and protect of the non-cancerous cells.

MSM is also an excellent source of sulphur, known as the ‘beauty mineral’ Sulphur provides support for strong, thick lustrous hair, a complexion free from blemishes and wrinkles and nails that are strong and promotes detoxification. Sulphur is directly linked to antioxidant glutathione, irregular metabolism and insulin functions, in addition to obesity and weakness in the joints. The bio-available sulphur provided by MSM produces generous quantities of keratin and collagen, both of which are essential for healthy nails, hair and skin.

Auto immune disease such as IBS and Crohn.

In my experience, people living with ongoing digestive challenges, including conditions such as IBS or Crohn’s disease, often experience heightened levels of anxiety and emotional stress. Many individuals carry unresolved stress, trauma, or emotional burdens that quietly influence their nervous system.Clinical Hypnotherapy, combined with psychotherapy principles, offers an effective and supportive way to improve emotional wellbeing. This approach helps individuals become aware of unhelpful thought patterns, regulate anxiety, and respond to life with greater clarity and confidence. Our thoughts shape how we experience the world. Consider the difference between thinking, “Life is so unfair,” and “I can handle this.” Psychotherapy helps us recognise which thoughts deserve our attention and which ones are best questioned or released.

Hypnosis supports this process by guiding the mind into a calm, focused state where these patterns can be safely explored and restructured, promoting emotional resilience and inner balance. As Michael Yapko explains in Essentials of Hypnosis, it is a practical mind-body tool that supports clarity, confidence, and adaptive change. Likewise, Gabor Maté, in The Myth of Normal, highlights that many people were never taught how to process stress in healthy ways.
