  • About the Author
    About the Author My name is Mark Sircus Ac., OMD and I am the director of the International Medical Veritas Association (IMVA). I was trained in acupuncture and oriental medicine at the Institute of Traditional Medicine in Santa Fe, N.M., and in the School of Traditional Medicine of New England in Boston. I served at the Central Public Hospital of Pochutla, in Mexico, and was awarded the honorary title of doctor of oriental medicine for my work there in the early eighties and I was one of the first nationally certified acupuncturists in the United States. That was in the early part of my life. For many years I lived the life of a recluse exploring inner ground and wrote poetry, music, and then dived into intense writings on a wide variety of subjects in the area of psychology and spirituality. When my third child was born in 2003 I started researching vaccines and was inspired in a very short period of time to write and publish Cry of the Heart , which is about childhood vaccination. The Terror of Pediatric Medicine came three years later, which I launched as a cruise missile against the western medical establishment. It’s available as a free ebook download from the IMVA site . As you will see from the first page it is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who is spearheading a confrontation with the worst elements of the medical industrial complex. A colossal mistake has been made and it threatens the very fabric of western medicine, whose integrity is smashed, intelligence questioned. his book confronts the cancer industry’s basic philosophy and practice by presenting comprehensive answers and a new paradigm for cancer treatment all of which is supported by empirical medical science.

  • Complementary and Alternative Medicine Use By
    1 Complementary and alternative medicine use by cancer patients commencing curative-intent chemotherapy: survey and educational intervention Peter James Smith B Pharm, Dip Ed, PG Cert Evidence Based Comp Med A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Pharmacy 2 Abstract Aims The aims of this thesis were to establish to what extent adult cancer patients receiving curative-intent chemotherapy potentially compromise their treatment and/or safety by using complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), and to identify which cancer patients use CAM at this time, why they use it, and who are most at risk. Additionally, it aimed to establish whether there was a need for an educational intervention to guide cancer patients on the safe use of CAM with chemotherapy, develop and publish the educational intervention and to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention through surveying cancer patients and cancer care professionals, particularly doctors. Methods The thesis employed mixed methods, over several phases: a literature review, an observational study of 75 solid tumour patients receiving curative-intent chemotherapy for the first time and then, using results obtained as a framework, an educational brochure intervention was developed. Qualitative methods were used to evaluate the potential acceptance and content of the educational brochure and also to determine the effectiveness of the brochure post publication and intervention. Results Patients receiving chemotherapy may be consuming CAM to treat cancer, to lessen chemotherapy side effects, for symptom management, or to treat conditions unrelated to their cancer. Others may influence cancer patients in their CAM decision-making: practitioners, family, friends, spouse and even casual acquaintances met in waiting rooms and support groups.

Cervical cancer being the major cancer in Indian women, the Symposium is to focus mainly on cervical cancer and its principal causative agent, human papillomavirus (HPV) while IACR Convention will cover all aspects of human cancer. The meeting will have a special emphasis on clinical cancer research including early detection, pharmacological interventions, genomics and proteomics, prevention and management of cancer. The highlights of this four day meeting include sessions on molecular epidemiology, molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis, bioinformatics, HPV Vaccine and a special session of panel discussion on early detection of cervical cancer, an interface between basic scientists and clinicians in oncology that will be moderated by Prof. Usha Luthra and Dr. John Sellors. Besides, there will be several plenary talks by renowned experts from India and abroad and special public talks by Prof. Harald zur Hausen, Prof. Inder M. Verma, Dr. P.B.

  • An Ancient-Modern Comparison of the Uses of Music and Sound for Therapy
    Thomason 1 Calli Woodard Thomason Dr. Carolyn Sanders Honors Research Project 5 May 2010 Sound Healing: An Ancient-Modern Comparison of the Uses of Music and Sound for Therapy Abstract It is my intention to bring to light important information about healing by examining ancient creation myths and cultural practices compared to modern methods. In these traditions it is obvious that sound – or vibration – plays a vital role in the formation of matter and our universe. Modern science has proven these ancient beliefs and it has been proven that vibration is essential to our existence. Therefore, by examining and comparing ancient and modern practices of sound and music for healing, I believe we will see that these important cultural aspects impact us greatly due to the effects of vibration on the human body. The impact of vibrations for therapeutic use is substantial and should be made known as a more viable resource for healing. My goal is to expose the certain aspects of sound and music healing that will be beneficial for the population as a whole to know, because we are currently largely unaware of this important reality. Introduction Just like music, the patterns of the external world are comprised of rhythm, repetition, and natural flow (Wiora 101). The cyclical nature of weather and the seasons, the gestation period of plants, the mating processes of different species, and the intricate biology of humans all have specific blueprints that follow the same organized rhythmic flow that we find in music. The vibration of heart beats and brain waves depends on good rhythm as well as harmony to keep the body healthy.

  • Cancer Alternative Therapy Huma
    Clinical Research Report CANCER ALTERNATIVE THERAPY HUMA: A CLINICAL PERSPECTIVE Sanjoy Kumar Pal School of Animal & Range Sciences College of Agriculture & Environmental Sciences Post Box: 138, Haramaya University Dire Dawa, Ethiopia Email: [email protected] Abstract: Many patients with cancer use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in conjunction with conventional oncology treatments. Many types of CAM approaches for cancer are popular through the world. Among them, herbal medicines have a substantial place in cancer treatment and palliation. Cancer patients in the western world use CAM in conjunction with conventional care. However, in a developing country like India which is having some of the highest cancer rates in the world the situation is quite grim. Lack of early screening and treatment facilities coupled with high cost of treatment often compels patients to seek something alternative. Ayurveda and herbal medicines are one of the most sought after therapies for cancer treatment. In this article, I describe the evolution of one of the popular herbal therapy called ‘HUMA’. This alternative cancer therapy was first advocated by Dr. S M Atiq of Lucknow in mid 1980s. This poly herbal therapy was derived from various important Ayurvedic herbs viz. Azadirachta indica, Curcuma longa, Embelica officinalis, Ocimum sanctum, Semecarpus anacardium, Tinospora cordifolia etc. Over the years the popularity of this therapy has increased many folds and the conventional medical world now have the positive opinion about this therapy. Key words: HUMA, CAM, alternative cancer therapy, Ayurveda Annals Ayurvedic Med. 2013 :2 ( 3) P- 80-88 are reports that certain herbs and dietary supplements are unlikely to be beneficial, and might be problematic or Introduction dangerous when taken during cancer treatment [8].

I am also attempting to introduce what may be a new topic to some: Integrative Cancer Therapy. I recently completed my Fellowship in this subject and desire to share a smidgen of information. This is in no way a ‘complete work’, it is a start; I am not an Oncologist, I am a chiropractor with advanced training in neurology, integrative cancer, anti-aging and functional medicine, nutrition, etc. I am simply attempting to convey information and opinion; this is not a substitute for medical care.
