that covers many alternative cancer treatments.  They have a good overview of research for each listing, which might give you an idea of what could help (as well as what might hurt).

I went to see and integrative medicin oncologist last week in NY, I spent 3 hours with him. Mitchell Gaynor.

1.He talked about meditation. We did 20 mins. of it, it felt really good. He also said to do yoga (which I have been doing for 10 years) or tai chi as well as aerobic exersices when possible. This is to keep stress in control.

2.- He also talked and gave me literature about certain supplements, Like: Vitamin D3, Turmeric, Red berries, garlic, blackseed cummin, ALA for the neurophaty and a bunch of mushrooms to boost the inmune system.

3.- He said to cut refined sugar and white carbs, white pasta white rice etc. Ok to have honey, or real maple syrup.

4. Not to eat tuna or sword fish becuae of mercury content.

5. Very little red meat or none (if I chose to eat red meat preferably organic, no pestisides etc.)

6. To cook with coconut oil, grapeseed oil or butter, other oils when heated make toxins that are not good for anybody.

7 use olive oil in salds etc. not for cooking.

8. Serve your plate with 70% vegetables and the rest proteins and carbs.

TRY ORGANIC WHEN POSSIBLE

9.- Have a vegetalbe + fruit juice or smoothie in the morning

I have a friend that is doing her treatment with him and she is having good results....... the down side is that he does no ttake insurance, they do file for you. I started my treatment 16 mos. ago at UPENN "Traditional" but since then I have been doing acupunture and taking some supplements. I wish I had met this Dr. back then because he combines the 2 traditionaal with alternative. What I am doing right now is continuing with my chemo at UPENN and seeing him for alternative advise.

I hope this helps, all the best through this journey. If you would like more info just send me a message, would be happy to help if I can.
