Ten Key Formula Families for Cancer

I created this presentation to give you all a chance to see how I’ve applied Dr. Huang Huang’s work for cancer patients. Dr. Huang Huang is coming to teach at White Pine Healing Arts this July for 3 days on this topic. I’m really excited for this course. Already, his teachings on the 10 key formula families has influenced my work with patients suffering from cancer in such a positive way. I’ve tried to illustrate this in this presentation. My hope is that this will inspire students and practitioners to study with Dr. Huang.
