After the recurrence, I feel even more strongly about this OCF forum being a virtual cancer center retreat center for those of us who cannot afford to jet off to Hawaii for a week. I believe in and practice true "adjunctive" therapies: healthy food, exercise, martial arts, yoga, pilates, meditation, visualization, prayer, friendship and love. I want to be clear that I can not vouch for any cancer center retreat, but my understanding is the one I was thinking of is that they specialize in providing adjunctive therapy AFTER traditional radiation and chemotherapy and surgery .
I also recognize I am nowhere near being "charming" in my plain speaking on "alternative" adherents or "conspiracy" theorists, hence my sign on name indicating the goal is to be charming in the year 2017. There are about 5,000 members here who humor the few posters who advocate such potentially harmful ideas under the guise of "discussion". Those few can always dish it out, but never take it. Brian is a saint who always gives posters the benefit of the doubt, and moves topics to this forum that I would have deleted even when they link to quack web sites. Some Psychological studies posit that when erroneous ideas are posted and not clearly or memorably refuted, people tend to remember the erroneous idea instead of the gentle remonstrations. I try my best to be memorable. You can count on what you read here being vetted by caring posters and /or exposed. That is worth something. (Not so subtle hint that if you are a regular reader of this forum, don't forget to donate or join OCF with your tax refund. Can't help it, I worked for IRS 20 years so I know the system is set up to ensure a refund)
