The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective on breast health is logical and part of the cycle of life. The two organ systems that manifest in the breast are the liver and the stomach channels.

It is significant to consider that a stomach point is on the ni**le of the breast. As a nursing mother produces milk for her infant, the menstrual cycle ceases in order to use the energy of menstruation to promote lactation. Mother’s milk fills the stomach of the infant and promotes the vital health of this offspring.

What is going on in the health of the mother who struggles to nurse her child? Why is there so much breast cancer today? Chinese medicine purports an imbalance in the liver, stomach or the extraordinary vessel called the Chong Mai, or penetrating vessel. Could it be a problem with what the woman is eating, or the level of stress she is under? Possibly. What is known from a TCM viewpoint is that there are herbs and acupoints that can help promote breast health. Acupuncture point number ST-18 (Rugen) is located just beneath the breast below the ni**le line, approximately 4 inches from the midline of the chest. This point is indicated in breast pain or distention, abscess, and swelling. It can also help with breast milk production or regulation. Dandelion (pu gong ying) is a common herb used for breast detoxification. Men and women alike can suffer from breast health concerns.

A non-lactating woman was struggling with brown color breast excretion. She had seen many Western medicine doctors to seek help with concerns about her breast health. She became frustrated after the results of much testing came back benign and idiopathic. She visited us to see if Traditional Chinese Medicine could help her, and I assured her it could. After applying simple acupuncture treatment and adding Pu Gong Ying tea to her diet, her brown ni**le discharge was no longer an issue.

Acupuncture and herbal application can greatly promote peace of mind, and support the health of the body.

After the stress of the holidays and the rushed start to the new year, many people continue to experience bloating, reflux, constipation, fatigue, sugar cravings, or skin flares. These symptoms aren’t random—they’re signals that the gut may be driving ongoing inflammation.

~The Gut–Heart Connection

Your gut influences heart health by:
Regulating systemic inflammation
Supporting healthy cholesterol metabolism
Influencing blood sugar and insulin levels
Affecting nutrient absorption needed for vascular health.

An imbalanced gut microbiome can increase inflammatory markers that stress the cardiovascular system—even when traditional labs appear normal.

~Signs Your Gut May Need Support

Bloating or discomfort after meals
Irregular bowel movements
Food sensitivities
Acid reflux or indigestion
Fatigue or brain fog
Chronic inflammation or skin issues

These are not just digestive issues- they often reflect deeper systemic imbalance.

~A Gut Reset Is More Than a Cleanse

A functional gut reset focuses on:
Reducing inflammatory triggers
Supporting digestion and absorption
Rebalancing beneficial bacteria
Repairing the gut lining

When the gut is supported, inflammation often decreases, energy improves, and cardiovascular markers can shift in a positive direction.

-Why February Makes Sense

February is an ideal time to refocus on gut health because it:

Aligns with heart health awareness
Allows inflammation from the holidays to be addressed
Supports better energy, metabolism, and resilience moving into spring
Supporting your gut is not just about digestion—it’s about protecting your heart, immune system, and long-term health.

~The Takeaway

If you’re experiencing lingering symptoms despite “doing all the right things,” your gut may be the missing link. February is the perfect time to show your heart some love by starting where health truly begins: the gut.

Walking 7,000 steps seems to be a realistic number and is linked with a 25% lower risk of cardiovascular disease, a 37% lower risk of dying from cancer and a 38% lower risk of dementia. If you walk more, the benefits increase but at a smaller amount.

Even a small increase in steps per day was associated with lower health risks: 4,000 steps were linked to a 36% lower risk of death compared with 2,000 steps. Every step counts as even small changes in physical activity may boost overall health.

People are what they put into their body. One of the reasons kids in my elementary school picture were all thin is in part due to the absence of high fructose corn syrup in our diet. Fructrose constitutes more than 40% of sweeteners consumption in western countries. High fructose corn syrup consumption increased by more than 1,000% between 1970 and 1990. This past decade alone people have switched from eating 16-20 grams of fructose to 60-100 grams every day – a dramatic 500% increase.

The most common form of fructose that Americans consume today is high fructose corn syrup. Previously sugar beets and sugar cane was our main source of sugar. Food manufacturers have found that corn syrup provides not only better flavor and stability but also foods stay fresher longer and the texture and color is better. And more importantly it is cheaper.

Fructose has the highest sweetness among all natural sugars, with its sweetness being about 1.8 times that of sugar (beet or cane sugar). However, corn fructose has many negative impacts on our health.

Increased calorie intake: Corn fructose may stimulate appetite and promote overeating
Fat accumulation: Corn fructose can be more easily converted into fat in the liver and other tissues leading to weight gain and fatty liver.
Insulin resistance: Corn fructose consumption can impair insulin sensitivity, making it harder for the body to regulate blood sugar levels
Inflammation: Corn fructose can trigger inflammation in the body, which can contribute to weight gain and other metabolic disease.
Another characteristic of corn fructose is it is the only sweetener that does not require insulin to enter into cells. In other words it can go directly into your cells without any regulation from the body.
When it comes to cancer, studies suggest that cancers preferentially use high corn fructose as fuel to accelerate their growth. In fact epidemiological studies have revealed that cancer growth is fueled by high fructose corn syrup.
There is a subtle movement in the food industry to use less corn fructose. But it ultimately is up to people to decide what they eat.

For over 2,000 years Chinese acupuncturists have realized the importance of tongue diagnosis. Western medicine is finally catching up to the validity of this approach as was evidence in a recent article on tongue diagnosis in the Scientific American magazine (Nov 2025, 13). In this article they discussed how patients with low iron, diabetes, or fatty liver could be diagnosed through tongue body, color, and coating.

Patients can look at their tongue to find if there are any peeling or holes in the tongue coating (see image below) which would indicate that the stomach may be experiencing disharmony. However, if you have always had what is referred to as geographic tongue (see below) then it is uncommon to see this change with acupuncture.

Most people think of mold as a household nuisance, but for many cancer patients, it can quietly work against healing. Mold doesn’t just cause allergies — it releases toxins (called mycotoxins) that weaken the body in ways that directly affect cancer risk, cancer growth, and how well someone responds to treatment. This is why every cancer patient should be evaluated for mold exposure, even if they don’t think they’ve been exposed. Mold is incredibly common, often invisible, and its effects on the body can mirror or worsen cancer-related symptoms.
One of the biggest issues is that mold is a major immune disruptor, and cancer is a disease of immune surveillance. Your immune system is designed to recognize and eliminate abnormal cells before they become tumors — but mold toxins suppress and confuse that system. When the immune system is weakened or distracted, cancer has more room to grow.

Mold toxins also damage DNA and promote mutations, which is the earliest step in cancer development. These toxins create oxidative stress and inflammation that injure cells, making it easier for damaged cells to turn cancerous. For someone already fighting cancer, mold exposure can add additional stress to DNA repair systems that are already overwhelmed.

Another important link is detoxification. Mold impairs the liver and detox pathways that are crucial during cancer treatment.
Chemotherapy, radiation, and even natural therapies rely on a functioning detox system to clear cellular waste. If mold is blocking or slowing those pathways, treatments can feel harsher, side effects can worsen, and the body may have a harder time processing cancer-related toxins.

Women break down estradiol into the following 3 metabolites:

2 hydroxyestradiol also referred to as 2-OH (inhibits breast cancer proliferation)
4 hydroxyestradiol or 4-OH (predisposes to breast cancer)
16 hydroxyestradiol or 16-OH (increases risk of breast cancer especially if they are obese, have high cytokine counts post COVID, or if they have toxins –especially organophosphate).

Some women due to genetics are more predisposed to metabolize their estrogen into the 4-OH and 16-OH form. One way to know if this is what your body is doing is to have a urine test done known as the DUTCH test.
Things you can do to raise the protective 2-OH and lower the bad metabolites through a varieties of ways are moderate exercise, consume cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower and kale), flax, and soy, and by taking the supplement DIM/IC3 which is derived from cruciferous vegetables.
One additional advice, a woman should never use Premarin (an equine estrogen) as this increases metabolism into 4–OH.

Do Bio-Identical Hormones Cause Breat Cancer?

One of the most frequently asked question I hear when starting a woman on bioidentical hormones is ‘ Will this cause me to get breast cancer?’ My answer is hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with bio-identical hormones actually lessens once chance of getting breast cancer. That is because bio-identical hormones have the same molecular structure as those naturally produced by the human body, and are derived from plant sources like wild yams or soy.

What is crucial in prescribing these natural hormones is the balance between estrogen and progesterone. High levels of estrogen in relation to progesterone increases one’s risk of developing breast cancer. It is well know that most women are diagnosed with this cancer during perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause when progesterone levels drop causing an estrogen dominance. A study of over 1,000 women who were followed for 30 years found that those who were deficient in progesterone were 5.4 times more likely to develop premenopausal breast cancer. And it has been shown that women with the highest levels of progesterone had an 88% reduction in developing breast cancer. This is even if they have a history of breast cancer on both sides of the family. But not all progesterones are the same. The use of Progestin (a synthetic progesterone) is associated with a 40% increase in breast cancer when taken with estrogen. This synthetic progesterone should never be taken.

Dr. Renae Haldeman, BS, OMD

Then there is Dr. Haldeman. I have seen many acupuncturists over the years in Las Vegas and other cities, and while many have helped, none have compared to her. She is a bit more expensive than the average acupuncturist, but from my very first appointment, I understood why.

I had been suffering with back and hip pain for years, convinced it was muscular. She said otherwise, and to my surprise, I woke up the next morning completely pain free. It amazed me. Since then, she has relieved symptoms I never thought acupuncture could touch such as bladder weakness and mood swings.

She has also provided temporary but instant relief for deeper issues that I am still addressing. Her technique is simply different, and it works.

Our Story

Terry Pfau D.O., H.M.D. received his medical degree from Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1985. His internship was completed the following year at Kirksville Osteopathic Medical Center. He received his board certified in Neuromuscular Medicine in 2006.

While in medical school it was his 5-year-old daughter’s experience with psoriasis that sparked his interest in Alternative Medicine. In an attempt to help her, she was taken to several dermatologists who only prescribed stronger and stronger topical steroids.

Although the medication gave temporary relief, she could not be left on them indefinitely. On taking her off the medications the psoriasis would come back even worse. Out of desperation, she was taken to a physician in Kansas City who practiced homeopathy. Almost immediately she began to see improvement and within a month the skin lesion had cleared.

Over the last 32 years, Dr Pfau has sought out training from some of the best physicians in the alternative medical field. He is a graduate of the Hahnemann College of Homeopathy, the U.C.L.A Medical Acupuncture for Physicians Course, and Maharishi Ayurvedic Medicine Course for Physicians. He has also completed studies in chelation therapy, nutrition, osteopathic manipulation, bio-identical hormone therapy, and prolotherapy.
