Im posting for a friend with metatastic squamous cell cancer. Theres
not much more that traditional medicine can do for her and she is
looking into alternative cancer clinics, such as the ones in Tijuana.
Has anyone been treated at an alternative clinic for squamous cell
cancer, and if so, what was the result? |
| Let me tell you a story about alternative medicine and cancer. Ever read
some of the web pages on those Mexican cancer clinics? Did you believe
their claims? If you believed that Crohns site you probably did buy
into all the cancer clinics hype. |

Has your friend heard of the Gerson Therapy? There are 2 hospitals in
Mexico that do it. My diagnosis of breast cancer was in July 1994. I
have been on the therapy since then and am back to work and feeling
better than ever. It is nutritionally based with juicing and coffee
enemas for detoxification. It also is metabolically based. The Gerson
Institutite can be reached at email:gerson@aol.com and on the Internet
at: http:/www.homepage.com/mall/gerson/gerson.html. Since Oct.1995 the
therapy has been done at Hospital Meridian de Coronado at Playas de
Tijuana. Another hospital was doing the treatment when I was there and
still is. Ir is in the same city in Mexico. Information about CHIPSA
hospital vand be gotten by calling the Gerson Research Organization:
619-759-2966 or fax 616-759-2967. This hospital may be less expensive. |
| 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.
