OP Senior Member (100+ posts) Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 114 | I'm wondering if anybody has experience with Cancer Treatment Centers of America? I asked my doctor about them and he was quite dismissive of them. But I'm also finding he's dismissive of anything outside of the traditional modern approach. He dismisses anything about nutrition, or mind/body healing, or just about anything outside 'standard' medicine. This holistic approach is what is appealing to me about CTCA so I'm wondering if anybody has experience or factual knowledge about them. If we can't post opinions about specific institutions then please just shoot me a private message. thanks....
