| I believe they utilize both approaches at the same time. Lots of people
do that with lots of acute and chronic health problems. Regarding
cancer treatment, naturopathic approaches provide support to so-called
allopathic therapies. |

| Nearly seven in ten cancer patients in the U.S. have used complementary or
alternative medicine, most often in combination with conventional
therapies. Surveys across 13 countries indicate that complementary and
alternative treatments are used by 7 to 64 percent of all cancer patients.
Reports of extraordinary survival ascribed to such therapies have long
been made, but full and formal medical documentation of these results is
too often lacking. |
| We are two 4th year occupational therapy students at the University of
British Columbia working on a proposal for our program design course. We
have the unique opportunity of working with the British Columbia Cancer
Agency in their goal to implement occupational therapy services. Our job
is to design a program of OT services and present it to the Vancouver
Cancer Clinic in November 1997. We are looking for ideas, advice, etc.
from anyone with knowledge in this area.
