Adolecence Health Issues

Question
Hello, i am Lissa. i'm a thirteen year old girl who has struggled with acid reflux since birth. when i was born i immediately had problems. my mother was told that i had the flu, but it got worse. my parents wanted a second opinion so they called up a friend who worked at a hospital. thats when they found out i had a tumor taking up all of the space in my stomach. ever since i have had difficulty functioning. please give me some ideas for treatment i can do on my own. thank you, your help would be greatly appreciated.


Answer
Hello Lissa,



There are herbs that shrink tumors.  Whether or not they would be safe for you, I am not sure.  Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can help you with your symptoms and any issue you may have with digestion.  Tumors can shrink with long term herb medicine therapy.  I'd recommend finding a qualified TCM specialist in internal medicine.  Look at your state's acupuncture licensing website or accredited TCM college for a qualified individual.

Good Luck Lissa.  You are very wise for your age looking for other sources of information and support.  I hope you find what you need in your area.



Peace and Blessings,

Dr. C
