Naturopathic Encologist

We are very happy with my treatment but are going to see a Naturopath/encologist just to see what he has to say about things that can be helpful along with my current treatment with things like Tarceva and Chemos.    This is a new field for naturopaths.  Has anyone had experience?   We've tried to read books and use so many supplement hints, etc., but were hoping to have a more accurate prescription. 

Hi nevah Yes, I have had personal experience with a naturopathic oncologist. He is part of the team that treat me alternatively for non Hodgkin's. I have not had any traditional treatment at all and though I can not say I am totally cancer free, I am strong and healthy with no symptoms from the disease I was diagnosed with in May 2004. I thought you might find the following link interesting since it describes, among other things, the qualifications necessary to become certified in this field which is an emerging discipline on the forefront of cancer medicine.......... http://www.snwcenter.com/natoncology.html .............Best of luck on your integrative path....Sheila

Thank you for the reply.  We go for our appointment tomrrow and are looking forward to wise and knowledgable help in the things we have been trying to do on our own.   We've been reading a lot and using supplements to boost immune system plus keeping spirits up and exercising.   Interesting to know how they think it started and to change those habits.   More tomorrow or maybe Friday.
