While we may rejoice at the advances in modern technology and the resources available, cancer continues to be humanity's major threat. Although research is being conducted in every part of the world, no ultimate solution has been found, or is even in sight. As such, the role of the alternative practitioner has taken on heightened importance.

This seminar will look at the present model and how alternative therapies can be added to the patient's current therapies to enhance outcomes. The utilization of energetic modalities such as single Homeopathic Remedies, Gemmotherapy, Tissue Salts, Organotherapy, Flower Essences and unda@ Numbered Compounds have demonstrated positive clinical effectiveness in treatment outcomes. Using case examples, this workshop will guide you through the utilization of these modalities.

If you treat chronically ill patients in your practice, especially cancer patients, this workshop will facilitate an approach to supporting them from a humanistic and natural approach.
