Guest guest Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I thought this might be of interest to our breast discussion. Best wishes, March 10, 2005 Q & A: Acupuncture and Touch Therapies Breastcancer.org will be hosting an online event that will give you a chance to ask questions of an expert in the fields of acupuncture and touch therapies and their role in the treatment of breast cancer. To ask a question or join in the discussion, go to www.breastcancer.org on Tuesday March 15th between 9:30 and 11:00 PM Eastern Standard Time and click on the " Join the Discussion " button. Guest speaker for the event will be Mary-Ellen Scheckenbach, M.Ac., and Tracy Walton, LMT, MS. The Conference will be moderated by Beth Baughman Dupree, M.D., F.A.C.S. Mary Ellen Scheckenbach is co-founder of Hidden River: A Center for Health in Philadelphia. Ms. Scheckenbach has practiced Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology since 1986 with an emphasis on women's health, chronic disease, and pain. She is a national speaker for medical schools and conferences serving professional health and community organizations. Her past affiliations include serving many years as president, vice president, and treasurer of the Acupuncture Society of Pennsylvania, working as staff acupuncturist at the Jefferson Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine, and as toxicology specialist at the National Academy of Sciences. From breastcancer.org.... " The side effects of breast cancer surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and hormonal therapy, as well as the daily challenge of living with a serious disease, can take a toll on you physically and emotionally. But complementary medicine offers a way to treat the whole person while you combat breast cancer. Acupuncture and touch therapies have been used for thousands of years to reduce or alleviate pain, fatigue, and other symptoms. By accessing energy pathways with acupuncture, or by stimulating and soothing skin and deeper tissue with touch therapies, these treatments offer a holistic approach to healing that can be combined with conventional medical regimens. Forming a relationship with a therapist who can tailor treatments for each individual is an important part of the process. In this online conference, breastcancer.org will explore these two modalities of integrative care. We'll talk about what is safe, what is most helpful, and how to find a therapist who is experienced with breast cancer issues. In addition, we'll answer your questions about how to discuss these therapies with your doctor.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Hi Patricia, I tell you what you can do to stay abreast. Use google, and select 'More " on the search screen. Then select 'Alerts' Type in acupuncture or whatever you want, and how often you want it. Presto an email appears with a link and a few lines about the topic from newspapers all over the world. I do it just to get a feel where the media is on acupuncture, and what is on the 'agenda'. Have a go, and let me know how you get on. Best wishes, PS You can even do a scholar search on google from the same page of 'More " and all the scientific papers come up, and not the commercial sites....good luck!
