Does anyone have any information on immunotheraphy treatments? What is it? How does it help? What do you do after surgery, after radiation, after chemo to build the immune system. How do you find the right clinic or person (who isn't a quack) to start complimentary or alternarive approaches after the fact? Thanks!

This is a link to the ACS which has a page about immunotherapy: http://www.cancer.org/docroot/ETO/eto_1_3_Immunotherapy.asp

And a link to NCI about immunotherapy:

Here is a link from Quackwatch of things and persons to watch out for: http://www.quackwatch.org/search/webglimpse.cgi?ID=1&query=immunotherapy

There are a lot of snake oil persons in this business so beware.
