Alternative Medicine Joins Cancer Fight
WDSU, LA
We put the needles in, we take the needles out. So, it’s not like surgery,” said Terrence Mason, owner and operator of the Oriental Bodywork and Acupuncture Clinic. But alternative medicine comes at a price. Frisch and Marchand said that very few insurance companies cover the cost of treatment. Despite Frisch’s seemingly good health, she has recurrent ovarian cancer. “Right now, I’m using the Western methods just for the blood tests and scans, just to kind of keep an eye on what’s going on internally,” Frisch said. Although UW doctors have told Frisch she has ovarian cancer once again and she should feel sick, Frisch said she feels great, which makes her think the treatments are working.

The Healthiest Meals on Earth
(Fair Winds; $24. 95)
•The book: Written by nutrition expert Jonny Bowden and health counselor Jeannette Bessinger, this book promotes the notion that food is medicine — that pills aren’t the only way to address health problems. It focuses on healthy foods and superfoods that prevent and treat chronic diseases. •The basics: While some ingredients and recipes are either low-fat or fiber-rich, this is not necessarily a cookbook intended to help you lose weight. If you want information about what you eat and why it’s good for you, short essays sprinkled among the recipes provide food for thought. •The recipes: Recipes are grouped in “polymeals,” short menus with an entree, side dishes and desserts.

Sometimes it’s just a mystery why some cancer patients survive

But the hepatitis C virus continued to eat away at his liver. Enough of poisons, Sal said. Instead, he turned to a heretical alternative medicine physician, Emanuel Revici, who was 100 years old and still practicing medicine. Revici was born in Romania in 1896. He received a medical degree from the University of Bucharest in 1920. He moved to Paris, then Mexico City, where he began experimenting with drugs to treat cancer, then to New York in 1947, where he started the Institute of Applied Biology and conducted experimental cancer research. Professional cancer societies soon began to consider him anything but a scientist.
