Chinese Medicine and Cancer
As I write this I begin a new adventure into the enormous depth of a new specialty discipline of Oriental Medicine emerging on the horizon: Chinese Medical Oncology. With more than 500,000 deaths due to cancer annually in the US, something has to be done. Thats the equivalent of 166 9/11 deaths every year!

About Sevanti
Sevanti is the private clinical practice, writings, public speaking, workshops and retreat teachings of James Bailey, licensed acupuncturist and practitioner of Ayurveda and Oriental Medicine. James teaches meditation and Ayurveda as a paradigm for conscious living on retreats worldwide.
Chinses Medical Oncology offers a range of natural, complementary practices that aim to strengthen the immune system, reduce the side effects of chemo and radiatiation therapy, offer early treatment and prevention for precancerous or cancerous pathological changes, reduce resistence to certain cytotoxic drugs and sensitizing cytotoxic drugs. Acupuncture has been found in evidence based studies to support these efforts as well as support emotional stress, and pain management. I have had the good fortune to study with amazing teachers and to work with several cancer patients over the years and have been impressed with the results. Western oncologists have been likewise impressed with the recovery rates of patients combining both medicines.
If you or a family member or friend have cancer I am making available several avenues for care with a Chinese Medical Oncology practice through both my private practice. See details to the right on this page. I of course am not limiting my practice to cancer supportive treatments, so if you are in need of acupuncture or ayurvedic sessions I am available for you.
Peace and blessings to you all . . .

Chinese Medical Oncology Practice
As a form of seva (service), I am making Chinese Medical Oncology treatments available for anyone with cancer at a reduced rate at my office on Montana Avenue (google map), in Santa Monica, CA. Because it’s hard enought fighting cancer.
Chinese Medical Oncology, or TCM Oncology, aims to support cancer patients during the course of western treatments, minimizing the negative side effects of radiation and chemotherapy, detoxifying and cleansing the healthy tissues of the body, supporting the immune system, and in some cases even weakening the cancer itself. Chinese Medical Oncology also aims to support the “healthy 95%” of any cancer sufferer. “Fu Zheng”, or “Support the Righteous” is a traditional Chinese medical term expressing the essential need to support the healthy 95%. Chinese Medical Oncology utilizes acupuncture and Chinese herbs to strengthen the body’s life force as well as clean out what is impure. Diet, yoga, qi gong, and tai chi amplify the efficacy of clinical treatments to vitalize the rigtheous qi and prana.
Practitioners of TCM Oncology are not claiming to cure cancer, in fact no medical practice can make such a claim, but we do claim to support patients recieving western medical treatments, with the expectation that patients can and will live longer with this complimentary care.
