Canhelp.com offers a Comprehensive Personalized Cancer Treatment Information
Research Report as a basis to work from with the client for up to ONE Year.

Their fee includes a CANHELP report and two in-depth phone consultations, following
receipt of the report, with Madeleen Herreshoff, the Director of CANHELP, and short

The Definitive Guide to Cancer edited by Burton Goldberg is a standard reference for
anyone considering alternative or complementary therapies. It contains chapters on
various practitioners as well as other vital information describing the therapies.

The Weston A. Price Foundation offers a wealth of information about diet and nutrition
which challenges popular myths. Their research of traditional foods is unparalleled and
should be read before considering any "1980s alt med generalism" about avoiding healthy
fats and oils. The biochemistry of food-based nutrients is essential reading for a society
accustomed to indiscriminately taking supplements or eating soy products. We especially
recommend the book reviews and the information about statins and heart disease.

WAP sponsors a yearly conference which sells out quickly. Check their web site for
updates. We enthusiastically recommend The Four Fold Path to Healing by Thomas S.
Cowan, MD, with Sally Fallon and Jaimen McMillan and Nourishing Traditions, the Cook
book that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats by Sally Fallon
for an education unavailable anywhere else.

Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It (Third Edition) by David
Brownstein, M.D. A must-have for anyone diagnosed with breast cancer or fibrocystic
breast disease. The editors of Breast Cancer Choices consider the connection between
iodine insufficiency and breast disease the most significant discovery we have reviewed in
the last 14 years.

Assess Your True Risk of Breast Cancer by Patricia T. Kelly, Ph.D. Kelly, a molecular
geneticist , examines major studies on hormone replacement therapy and breast cancer,
concluding that HRT taken at menopause does not increase the risk of breast cancer. The
author also discusses the peer-review literature on HRT taken after diagnosis, making her
one of the few people in the world bringing fresh eyes to a subject that most clinicians had
made up their minds about without reading up on the subject. Assess Your True Risk of
Breast Cancer is an important book which deserves a sequel discussing the current
brainwashing of women against hormones in sharp contrast to the published scientific
facts. Kelly is the perfect author to investigate how the Women's Health Initiative debacle
may have statistically contributed to the premature deaths of women it scared off
hormones.

The Cancer Control Society Convention held every Labor Day Weekend in Los Angeles
presents a smorgasbord of alternative and complementary therapy speakers and exhibits.
Tapes and DVDs of the presentations are also available. Frank Cousineau also offers
excellent tours of the Mexican Clinics after the convention.

The Amazon-L Internet Discussion Group for Breast Cancer. The largest and most
evidence-based breast cancer listserv on the web. See toolbar on the left side of the page.

The Annie Appleseed Project is an excellent reference resource. Use their search engine

of conventional and integrative cancer therapies and is considered an Iodine Literate
Doctor (ILD).

Sherri Tenpenny, D.O. , located in the Cleveland, Ohio, area is a widely-known health
educator who speaks in a compelling, understandable way on her CDs. We recommend
Breast Health: Themography and Iodine as essential for all women, whether they have
breast cancer or not. This information-filled lecture will answer all your questions about
thermography's place in screening as well as the necessity of iodine. Dr. Tenpenny is a
pioneer in breast health as well as an expert on the dangers of vaccines. Breast Cancer
Choices is deeply indebted to her research and generosity of spirit. Please visit Dr.
Tenpenny's Beat Breast Cancer Through Breast Health web page for exciting updates.
