Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 If you know someone with cancer, or have an interest in natural therapies, please read this and pass it along. Second Annual Evidence-based CAM for Cancer Advocates January 8-10, 2009 * West Palm Beach, FL Palm Beach Airport Hilton (http://www.breastcancer.net/clicklogs/redirect.php?link=http://www.annieapplese\ edproject.org/) Surveys and studies show that 60-80% of people with cancer are either interested in, or using, complementary and alternative (CAM) approaches. And while the oncology community response to patient interest is growing, it continues to lag far behind the need. The Second Annual Evidence-based CAM for Cancer Advocates Conference, sponsored by The Annie Appleseed Project, brings together advocates from many communities, as well as those with information on studies in CAM to strategize, network, and more, that would greatly benefit those with cancer. This two and one-half-day education conference, held in West Palm Beach, FL, will focus on a multi-disciplinary approach, and will address issues such as nutrition, dietary supplements, mind-body-spirit relaxation techniques, exercise, hands-on therapies and much more. The many conference speakers include: * Ann E.
