A series of studies conducted demonstrate the integrative abilities of hormone regulation and subsequent preventative strategies with the use of Chinese Medicine (CM) in the prevention of breast cancer and balancing hormones. These investigations studied the patterns of disharmony for groups of middle aged women and explored the relationship between the CM patterns of disharmony and specific biomarkers (Xu, 2004; Fu & Xu, 2011). Chinese medicine assessment in Fu and Xu’s study (2011) indicated that the participants felt correspondingly weaker and their health conditions also had adverse trends in their middle age. They commonly had mood swings which relates to Liver Qi stagnation. Peri-menopausal symptoms also affected their daily life. Data collected from these participants indicated that the adverse symptoms and relative signs changed after the treatment resulting in the levels of disharmony being reduced. The changes of patterns of disharmony indicated in the Chinese medicine assessment are relevant to the change of biomedical markers, which may be useful in western-medical assessment of hormones fluctuation and pre-clinical breast diseases. If Chinese medicine diagnostic methods indicate that Liver Qi stagnation and LiverKidney Yin deficiency are the main patterns of middle aged women hormone fluctuation or pre-clinical breast diseases, it is reasonable to argue that the treatment principle should be based on regulating Qi and nourishing Yin. This study has provided a repeatable evidence of using the Chinese kiwi fruit extract for the regulation of hormonal disorder and Chinese medicine patterns of disharmony. The bio-markers used in these studies are the 2-hydroxyestrone and 16α-hydroxyestrone (2-OHE: 16α-OHE), they are both reliable and sensitive in order to investigate the hormone imbalance. These can be easily applied as early preventative strategies that integrate both CM and Western diagnostic methods. The selected Chinese kiwi fruit (Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa) extract could benefit women with hormone imbalance or hormone related diseases (Xu & Xu, 2006). In another clinical trial, 16 participants, who were diagnosed with breast
