Dana Farber - Credible Resource?

thenewme

Dana Farber Cancer Institute has a Complementary/Alternative medicine branch.  It seems credible, legitimate, and accurate to me.  What do you think?

The Dana Farber info is fairly accurate.  There has been more study of accupuncture in the US than the article leads you to believe, but it is accurate that the majority of research was done in China.

Yes, I would trust Dana Farber.

A friend of mine was dx with ovarian cancer at the same time I was dx, we both had our chemo at DanaFarber. She participated in an accupuncture program there intended to help her deal with the se's of chemo, and she really liked the folks at tha Zakim (I think that's the name of it?) Center.

My med onc recommended I check out the alternative therapy resources, but it was all I could do to schedule and keep my chemo appts, so I never did. I'm sure it would have been helpful!
