Integrative and Alternative cancer treatment centers

01/14/2011 18:23:00

When a family deals with cancer treatment decisions, it is often a time of high stress, fear, lots of new information to digest in a short period of time, and decisions to be made re: the most appropriate and effective care. Traditional chemotherapy, alternative care, integrative care... how do you know which is the right course to take? How do you even begin to find out and evaluate what's best for you?

I have experienced this process both up close and from afar with numerous people. The resources below have been most highly recommended to me in this process. The bottom line in all the whirlwind that occurs, is that the cancer patient themselves feel comfortable and solid with whichever treatment regimen is decided on. These resources are listed in the hopes that they help in the critical decision making process, and bring healing, reassurance and peace of mind to individuals and families who are dealing with cancer.

Dlmckeemd@aol.com

Dr Dwight Mckee is an integrative oncologist who does phone consultation work. He is one of the preeminent integrative oncologists in the country, and have a vast network of expert colleagues with whom he coordinates treatment plans. Very highly recommended.

Block Center for Integrative Cancer Care

Integrative center for persons in cancer care who want to optimize the holistic therapies available which complement their traditional care. Dr McKee highly recommends this center.

Burzynski Clinic

Non toxic and less toxic modalities available in lieu of traditional chemotherapy. Their website has a great deal of information re: their facility, protocols, success rates, etc.

Blessings to those of you reading this blog and searching for this info because you are having to make these decisions. Thanks to those of you who pass these resources on to those in need.

2010 Ruling on GMO sugar beets

12/10/2010 13:41:00

In order to familiarize you with some current happenings re: GMO crops in the US, here's a link to a ruling by District Court judge Jeffrey White banning the planting and sale of sugar beet seeds in August of this year.

Interesting that even with his ruling, requiring that the USDA conduct a thorough environmental review before approving the use of these crops, the USDA and Monsanto went ahead with the planting: until a consumer group, Earthjustice brought it to the court's attention. It's all economics, big agribusiness, and it can seriously effect our health for generations to come.

Currently, the majority of sugar beet seeds (and therefore sugar crops) in the US are genetically modified. This means ANY sugar product on the market containing processed sugars, corn syrup, etc. should be considered a GMO product. You can easily protect yourself and your family by using organic sources of sweeteners, such as: organic sugar, organic agave, organic stevia, organic barley malt, etc. Check your cupboards... and check out the article on the ruling...

Jeffrey Smith and Dr Oz talk GMO's

12/08/2010 16:31:00

For those of you who didn't have the opportunity to watch Jeffrey Smith on Dr Oz this morning re: the subject of genetically modified foods, it was very interesting and well done segment. All sides of the issue were presented, as well as a juxtaposition by some pretty passionate experts. Great points were presented!

The controversy surrounding GMO's is an international one. There are 30 countries around the world that have banned GMO foods. European countries are adding to that number as we speak. The topic has been less discussed in the US, but expect to find it getting more and more media coverage. It is an extremely important issue for the health of our children, their children, and the future health of the planet.

Here's the link to the archives of 3 Dr Oz segments on GMO's:

Please take some time to watch the segments, and to explore the website. Education about GMO's is our responsibility to future generations!

to your health!
