Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 http://my.clevelandclinic.org/cancer/patient_support/support_groups.aspx Most libraries have info like that . I live in Northeast Ohio and most hospitals have support groups also call United Way and ask your doctor also. You didn't mention what kind of cancer but if you type that in Google then support group and location there should be some hits. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Understand that those 'Survivor Groups' will be pretty much conventionally oriented and if that is what you want, that may be exactly what you need. I have a friend, a nurse at my Urologist's office, that heads up a group in South Florida. She does give them some of the information, or at least she says she does, that I send her about Alternative measures. There are many books out there and the first one I ever read about Cancer was, How to Fight Cancer and Win by L. Fischer and another Beating Cancer with Nutrition by Quillin. There are many books out there and I remember advising my Daughter-in-law to also get Iodine, why ;you need it by Brownstein, MD--0 and his reasoning, to get her to begin 'thinking' differently. A book everyone should read, one that is older is, Questioning Chemotherapy by Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D. I would also look for the article, which you should be able to find on line, that a couple of Australian Oncologists wrote clearly stating, and they provide research figures that, they, the medical professionals, need to do something else because they claim, Chemotherapy isn't working. Of course there are people surviving cancer both those that go conventionally and those that go alternatively. There are also that survive doing nothing at all and then there are 'Spontaneous Remissions' that offer no reason--it just happens. Good luck in your quest for good health and remember, " Information is your best friend " . Joe C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 In addition to the excellent recommendations by Joe, a few more books and some videos that are worth reading/watching: " AntiCancer a New Way of Life " by Servan-Schreiber " Foods That Fight Cancer " , by Beliveau and Denis Gingras A audio + slides lecture by Dr. Servan-Schreiber on the relationship between nutrition, lifestyle and cancer: http://tinyurl.com/mgyxu6 Since nutrition is a very key part of any cancer fighting strategy, the following book (while not entirely about cancer and nutrition) is very worthwhile as well: " The China Study " by T. Colin A really good video presentation given by T. Colin can be found here: http://vsh.voip-info.org/.html The Vegetarian Society of Hawaii has many excellent videos on nutrition and health. You can find a directory of them here: http://www.vsh.org/videos.htm The following 2 videos from vsh.org that I think you will find particularly useful: http://vsh.voip-info.org/Fuhrman.html http://vsh.voip-info.org/Heidrich.html Here is some more info' about Ruth Heidrich, a lady who beat breast cancer that had metastasized to one of her lungs and her bones (using nutrition and lifestyle changes and no chemo' or radiation): http://www.drmcdougall.com/stars/star07_ruth-heidrich.html After you have digested that information, you may wish to look at some specific anti-cancer protocols. There are a number of worthwhile protocols to consider, with the Budwig Protocol being one that I believe (from first hand experience) is worth considering. You can find information about it in the files area of the discussion group: FlaxSeedOil2/ Only you can make the decisions about what are the best approaches to fighting cancer. Good information is essential to that end. Don't rush (or allow yourself to be rushed) into any treatment regimen without taking the time to do your research.
