The American Medical Association (AMA) reported the life expectancey doubled for patients with rapidly advancing cancers when Chinese herbs were added to their treatment plan. JAMA noted that in general, "Patients who received Fu Zheng therapy survived longer and tolerated their treatment better thatn those who were treated by Western medicine alone. he five year survival rate was twice as high among patients with nasopharyngeal cancer (53 percent versus 24 percent)."

(Note: The leading cause of death in China is cancer. However, in comparison to the U.S., breast cancer is very low in this country. For every twenty-six women who die of breast cancer in the US, twenty-nine die in the United Kingdom, only four die in China.)
