Alternatives to Alternatives
Good day everybody!
I was just wondering what are some of your personal favorite means of staying healthy (specifically for battling cancer) besides yoga and traditional medicine? I was thinking maybe some good books to read, eating certain foods, special exercises, or any other alternative (my personal favorite is pachouli and nag-champa incense, mmmm...) A friend of mine who is fighting cancer is looking for some ideas, so any suggestions would be very helpful!

hello all,
Yes, attitude and laughter are very important for sure. But also a diet of raw foods and loads of dark leafy green vegetables, lightly steamed if digestion is an issue. Lots of fresh ginger for nausea if on Chemotherapy, it fights inflammation as well----good for many ailments.
Also you can get a Native Indian herbal blend to cleanse the blood, stop tumors----called Essiac. Check it out at your local Health Food store, it has been around for hundreds of years!!!
for a new way of living....yoga teacher training
