Naturopathic Dr.

Local Health Food Stores
Always have a few free magazines that list all kinds of "alternative/complimentary care specialists" including NDs. A quick phone call asking a few questions (like experience in dealing with cancer) was how I found mine. I phone interviewed 3, really 4 but 1 fired one within the first minute I talked to his arrogant self-centered butthead self. Funny thing is I met him 2 years later and reminded him. He was very humbled, apologized, and slinkled away. His wife just laughed.

Oh man!
What a tremendous amount of life situations you're going through! And everyone else around you, too. My only advise is to take check of your stress levels. Maybe suggest this to the others around you who are trying to deal, too. The naturopath could help you deal with the stress, but i recommend meditation. It takes practice to get good at it, but even just attempting to do it can quiet your mind, and bring some semblance of relaxation. I know that stress reduction has helped keep my cancer at bay (it was stress that let it run rampant in the first place), and now i feel peaceful, and i'm able to take a deep breath and relax when a stressful situation presents itself.

Good luck with all of it.

Another way to find a naturopath is to ask at the local hospitals. Ask the women at the gift shop, or the nurses. That's how mine was found.

Hugs!

thanks to all
for the information.

My aunt doesn't have a computer and I've been at her home since Saturday early a.m. Her son (esophageal cancer, stage 3) has been in and out of the hospital this past week and is scheduled for more surgery today, we're worried how she'll be if he doesn't make it (she'll go nuts for sure). So, forgive me if I don't respond to anything in a timly manner. It's just been CRAZY these past few months what with finding out my aunt has stage 4 colon cancer, her son, stage 3 Esophageal cancer, her husband dying suddenly, dealing with everything that comes with someone close dying...social security, insurance, changing the names on all of her things, settling financial issues dealing with the funeral, making sure she gets all benefits she may be entitled to, so many other things and that's on top of trying to make sure she takes care of herself while she worries about her son! She FINALLY goes tomorrow to get a port put in in preparation for chemo/radiation. I think they may start the treatments tomorrow as well, but she said NO (I wasn't there when the Dr. called her so I have no clue but will find out in the morning when I get her to the hospital). She still needs to change her will and do quite a few other things. My head feels like it's going to explode most days, even my prescription meds for migranes isn't working. OMG, now on the phone hearing my brother just overdosed on meds and is in hopsital.

thanks again for all of your information.
