naturopath

Hi Rehab,
I send strong thoughts of healing energy to you. I haven't used Navelbine, but I've heard about a lot of good results from it. I also respect your feelings if it's just not acceptable for you. I have done chemo and also see a naturopath for more natural treatment of side effects. I haven't heard of the treatment you mentioned, but I highly recommend the book "The Complete Natural Medicine Guide to Breast Cancer: A Practical Manual for Understanding, Prevention & Care" by Sat Dharam Kaur, Naturopathic Doctor. It discusses very thoroughly traditional and alternative treatment methods.
I wonder if ElaineM has recommendations for a Naturopath in Oahu?
