Integrative oncologist NJ area

calamtykel, it looks like you can search for one here:  http://www.integrativeonc.org/index.php?option=com_civicrm&view=Profiles&layout=search&Itemid=152   (Society of Integrative Oncology).   Good luck finding a really good one you like!    Deanna

This is true:  Gaynor does not take insurance.  You must pay upfront and then wait to be reimbursed.  I have only seen him once so far, but I was quite impressed.  He is willing to go quite a bit off the map, so to speak.

Math teacher,

I'd be interested to know what it is about Gaynor that makes him unpopular among your BC friends... 

Granted, I only have met with him once, but I liked him a lot.  Seemed incredibly knowledgable and thorough.  Listened to what I had to say.  Don't know if I buy into his whole Tibetan bowl schtick, but the rest of it seems legitimate.

@Yazmin:  there are these bowls from Tibet (i think they are made of brass?  Not sure) that when rubbed around the rim make a particular tone that some Eastern healers consider medically therapeutic.  I believe Dr Gaynor has written a book or 2 about this.  Something about the unique vibrations that they produce.

Hi,

I know you will have success in finding someone you can work with ~ you have already set your intention on receving the best care.

I have some good supplementation I use daily, while I'm off my chemo, that helps me protect myself and fight cancer cells...

In case you were so inclined to add natural, proven, hard-working supplements, especislly to help our bodies after such cancer treatments like chemo, you can contact American BioSciences, David Wales up there, as he is dedicated to helping cancer patients all over the country, and I have just felt so safe and good taking these supplemets from that company,  that I wanted you and others to hear about them...especially when we feel so unsure and are in-between our medical treatments and w/o our usual medical advice.  It's like putting a protective barrier around myself, I feel.  Anyway, the number there is 888-884-6110 to contact David Wales.

I like to check with a company when I am vulnerable and I am using their products, and after my cancer treatments, that is how I find many of us feel, VuLnErAbLe.  I am reassured, and also, Mr. Wales is open to all who are looking for  info anyway.

I hope this helps while you are looking to upgrade you medical team.

I also use massage, guided imagery, Vitamin D3, and eat faitly green (70/30) so I'm becoming a natural enthusiast of sorts, (; 

Meditation and yoga and gi gong help me also, as well as a non-profit (by me) that offfers a support group and writing classes, among other things to help us who are recovering from cancer and it's treatments on my town.  Perhaps you have such a place out by you?

And books... well, I've read many, and then take a break with a magazine or work of fiction (presently, reading 'The Paris Wife', and go back for more reality.  Have you read all the 'Crazy Sexy Cancer' materials, they are good, And Rebecca Katz has a great cookbook, one for the Cancer Kitchen, and also, poetry helps releive my stress, and writing.  I even made a little meditation center/alter in my bedroom where I can be private and think my own thoughts, write to my hearts content and try out any and all healing arts I'm learning, where I can draw inspiration, and looking at some fresh flowers, pictures I love, and a few mementoes I cherish, I pray for everyone to recover and return to health from this complex disease.  I wish you well... try some new supplements, like American Bio's Ave & Immpower, you might have more energy right away and feel better pronto, as I do, and the best benefit is that the sickness feeling is gone and I can exercise again! Plus Ave Ultra and Immpower hike up our NK cells, among many other benefits, too many to number on this forum.

Be well and listen to your heart ~ it will lead you to the best care!

Peace, Nightbird 2009.
