Did you ever use any natural protocols in your wellness program for overcoming your cancer? A friend just finished chemo at Mayo Clinic that was so strong she was given a new birth date. I think meaning that the cancer was eliminated (had stem cell also at that time). She is having the most challenge recovering from heart weakness.They do not make much mention it seems about side effects to other non-cancer parts of your body. I found “Outsmart Your Cancer” (21 natural therapies, their history and use), a very well researched book. Did you happen to use any of these therapies along with or after your chemo?
I am licensed under massage and practice PUSH Muscle Therapy since 2003. You talk about tensegrity…are you familiar with Tomas Myers (Anatomy Trains)? I take classes with him when I can. I am so on board with your thoughts and facts, the research, etc. I use his study, information and thoughts in my practice.
I wish you the best and love your blog and all you are up to. I hope to hear back from you!

Hi Siene,
Thanks for taking the time to write. Ya know, I never did any particular protocols. I’m a bit stubborn in my personality. If someone tells me there’s a way to do things, I look for my own way instead.
Tom Meyers work is excellent. I’ve taken the Anatomy Trains class and I have a buddy who is just about done with his KMI certification. Tom says the body is much more like a sailboat than a lighthouse. The tensional systems in biologic systems are very much like the rigging on a sailboat… Though, far more elaborate in a biotensegrity.
I wish your friend peace through the healing journey. No one has ever written the step by step guide for her return to wellness. It’s a path that slowly unfolds, unique to every individual.
Be well,
Hamid : )
Hello! Your comment on your latest blog post about Susan G. Komen
“selectively cutting funding from local non-profits that have massage and acupuncture programs, as it is seen as a form of ”medical treatment” which they do not support.”
made me curious about what local non-profits have been cut. Couldn’t corroborate that fact using a quick Google search, and think you must have some inside information. Could you elaborate? Thanks!
