Hello friends

Despite her scientific training and experience in medical practice, after being diagnosed with an indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the author was subjected to intense pressure about alternative therapies from well-meaning friends and relatives. While insulated at first from these forces, disease recurrences and progression increased her vulnerability to the lure of seemingly gentler approaches. A data-driven study of alternative therapeutic methods, however, convinced the author that investigational strategies offered her a better chance of cure or improvement than unproven alternative methods. She offers guidelines for physicians about what patients want, and emphasizes the importance of hope, caring, and information. When a good friend learned that I was asked to write an essay discussing why cancer survivors are interested in alternative therapies for curing cancer, she was shocked and said, "Of all people, why in the world would they invite you? You’ve made it clear to everyone that you don’t believe in alternative therapies for cancer."
I am a physician who writes about survivorship, including the role of alternative therapies in cancer care. More importantly, I’m also a cancer patient who has experienced the forces that attract people to alternative therapies. Here I will share how alternative therapies for curing cancer played into my own survivorship, and then share my thoughts on what patients want and need.

Thanks for all friends

am not sure that you can do this by correspondence course. If you wish to practice in Israel as an accredited naturopath you must study 3 years of regular medical school medicine [includes courses in anatomy/physiology, pathology, pharmacology, lab tests, and much more], three years of nutrition, at least 1 year of Chinese medicine, at least 1 year of herbal medicine, aromatherapy, iridiology, flower remedies, graphology, hydrotherapy, massage or shiatsu or reflexology and whatever else I can't remember off the top of my head at this moment.
