Q
WBC contain what important Proteins?
A

Q
Contraindications
A
- Most modalities are contraindicated on the premises that increasing circulation or stimulating in any way may increase the rate of growth and the chance of metastasis, but every situation should be evaluated on an individual basis and the doctor consulted.
