Throughout October, Dr. Lu will lead workshops focusing on breast cancer prevention, treatment, and recovery through the lens of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). He will present and analyze a series of patient case studies, illustrating how TCM practices have been effectively applied.

The sessions will highlight specific treatments, including herbal medicine, acupuncture, and Qigong, highlighting their roles in supporting the body’s natural healing processes and enhancing overall patient outcomes.

His analysis of the development and progression of disease is based on quantum principles such as Five Element Consciousness, meridians — including point location — and the interconnectedness apparent in Yin-Yang theories. Dr. Lu aims to provide a unique viewpoint utilizing overlooked information.
