Hi-I've joined the group in the last few days, and have mostly been on the esophageal cancer board since that is what we are dealing with, but I saw your note about your son. I don't know how open you are to alternative healing, but I know if it were my 10 year old I would be desperate and open to other things. I have been involved with a group who work with tongren healing, and they have had some amazing results with various brain cancers. I know several women in class with me regularly over the past year whose brain cancers are gone, and children tend to respond very well to treatment. Tongren is based on the premise that we use the collective unconscious to heal in a time of crisis. We have dolls which are used in acupuncture training, marked with various acupuncture points and meridians. It is a blend of eastern and western healing methods as it incorporates acupuncture points, but is based on western anatomy and diagnosis. They have done a survey with Harvard Medical and Dana Farber on it, to try to set up a study on it. We tap on the dolls with magnetic hammers on areas which correspond to various diseases to unblock the energy and allow the body to heal. Tom Tam developed the system through observation over many years of acupuncture work. Many of the leading cancer institutes such as M D Anderson and Dana Farber are beginning to study alternative therapies to use in conjunction with their treatments. There are guinea pig classes (we are the guinea pigs) around the world with a large concentration in the Boston area where the method was developed. There is also a conference call line where they do the work over the phone for those who are unable to attend due to health or distance. If you google tongren healing you will find info on what it is and where it is available either in person or by phone. I urge you to try it. I know it sounds crazy, and too good to be true, but I've seen things in class that are unbelievable such as my diabetic friend whose sugar had dropped dramatically since starting to tap the doll (this is a common event in class). You have nothing to lose but the things we want to be rid of anyways. Good luck with your boy! I will keep you in my prayers.
