Integrative Medicine Plays Important Role in Treatment, Quality of Life for Brain Tumor Patients

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 01, 2014

Integrative medicine — a combination of both alternative medicine and conventional treatments — may improve quality of life for brain tumor patients. At the American Brain Tumor Association’s annual patient and family conference July 25-26 in Chicago, experts will discuss the use of integrative medicine and how patients and caregivers can talk with their doctors about integrating alternative treatment options.

In the US, recent studies show that 50 to 60 percent of cancer patients use some form of integrative medicine. According to Deneen Hesser, MSHSA, RN, OCN, chief mission officer for the ABTA. “Some of these therapies may be helpful; others could be harmful or interfere with the effectiveness of other therapies. This conference session offers patients and caregivers access to experts who can give them the information they need make informed decisions.”

Rekha Chaudhary, MD, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Cincinnati Neuroscience Institute, will be presenting the session “Integrative Medicine and Nutrition During Treatment.” The session will focus on the overall nutrition, special diets including the ketogenic diet, exercise and more.

“It’s important to understand that integrative medicine is in addition to, or in conjunction with, traditional medicine as opposed to alternative medicine which practices are used instead of traditional treatments,” explains Dr. Chaudhary. “Integrative medicine can be part of the healing process by aiding symptom management and promoting health and healing. It should be discussed with your doctor when planning your chemotherapy, radiation or surgery.”

The ABTA recommends that patients considering supplementing traditional treatments with alternative therapies do so under the supervision of their doctors/treatment teams to safely and effectively enhance health and healing. The ABTA encourages patients and caregivers to research the credentials of the person presenting alternative therapies to help determine whether it is a valid option. In addition to talking with their doctor, questions to consider include:

         Is he/she licensed? (Not all states require licensing or certification of alternative medicine practitioners.)
         What kind of organization does he/she represent? (A business? A college or university? A nonprofit organization?)
         What is his/her educational background?
         What are his/her professional society affiliations?

ABOUT THE ABTA PATIENT AND FAMILY CONFERENCE

The American Brain Tumor Association’s conference annually brings together brain tumor experts, researchers, patients, families and caregivers with the goal of improving the lives of people living with a brain tumor. This year’s theme, “Providing and Pursing Answers: Advances in Research, Treatment and Care” describes the ABTA’s position as a leader in providing and pursuing the answers that brain tumor patients and their families seek.

Throughout the conference, national brain tumor experts will cover a wide variety of topics not only on new research and treatments, but also on important quality of life issues, including integrative medicine – a topic the ABTA is often asked about.

The ABTA’s 2014 patient and family conference will take place on July 25-26 at the Renaissance Chicago O’Hare Suites Hotel, just minutes away from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. To learn more or register, visit http://www.braintumorconference.org.

Drink More Water to Reduce Stress Says Chinese Medicine Practitioner on Sharon Kleyne Hour

Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) June 19, 2014

Psychological stress can cause the human body to lose water and become dehydrated and diseased. Conversely, physical dehydration, or loss of water, can cause psychological stress. Because of the complex relationship between stress and water, any treatment for dehydration or stress must include drinking more water, reported Chinese Medicine Practitioner and presidential appointee Effie Chow, PhD, during her June 16, 2014 interview on the Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water radio show.

Effie Chow was born in China and grew up in a traditional family. After moving to the United States, she became a registered nurse. Although she supported Western medical practice, she concluded that Traditional Chinese Medicine, particularly Qi-Gong, had enormous potential value in maintaining health. Chow is Founder of the East-West Academy of Healing Arts in San Francisco, has authored several books, and in 2000, served on President Clinton’s White House Conference on Complimentary and Alternative Medicine.

The globally syndicated Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water® radio show, with host Sharon Kleyne, is heard on VoiceAmerica and Apple iTunes. Kleyne is Founder of Bio Logic Aqua Research, a fresh water, atmosphere and health research, and product development center. Natures Tears® EyeMist®, a 100% pure water mist, is the Research Center’s global signature product for dry eyes. Effie Chow is a frequent Sharon Kleyne Hour guest.

In the traditional Chinese healing discipline of “Qi-gong,” according to Chow, water is one of the “Five Elements of Life.” The others are earth, fire, wood and metal. Qi-Gong philosophy teaches that each element controls a different part of the body and a different emotion, and that water is the element that integrates all other elements and prevents dehydration. The organs most directly affected by water are the kidneys and bladder.

The words “Qi-gong,” Chow explains, mean “life force.” Since life on Earth can not exist without water, and since human bodies are 75 percent water, water is recognized in Qi-gong as the basis not only of all life but of the essential life force that sustains life.

A large percentage of her patients, says Chow, show symptoms of both emotional stress and physical dehydration in addition to their health complaints. Kleyne adds that the aging process is basically a dehydration process – the skin becomes thin and dry, the mouth produces less saliva, the eyes produce fewer tears, etc. Chow and Kleyne agree that increasing one’s daily water intake can significantly slow the aging process. Kleyne cautions that no two people are alike, we each have different water needs, and we all age differently.

Chow recommends drinking four glasses of water upon rising in the morning and Kleyne recommends drinking at least eight glasses per day in addition to all other fluid intake.

Traditional Chinese Medicine, according to Chow, always includes looking at the general health of the whole body and finding out what’s going on in the patient’s life. If the patient complains of a cold, Kleyne adds, the practitioner can treat the cold symptoms but should also investigate whether the patient’s lifestyle might be making them more susceptible to colds. Dehydration can increases susceptibility to colds and many other diseases.

Qi-gong teaches that the body is a microcosm or the Earth and the Universe, Chow explains. The body even has its own humid atmosphere, says Kleyne.. If the body dries out, the skin reacts the same way the skin of the Earth reacts – the surface dries up, life slows down, and it takes much longer for disturbances to repair themselves. Disturbances in both the body and in the Earth’s ecosystems have a domino effect that can result in many additional unintended disturbances.

And the cure could be as simple as an extra glass of water each day.

New selection of beautiful romantic flowers at Flowers24hours available for same day London delivery

A stunning bouquet of delicate cream roses surrounded in a frame of purple Lisianthus. This bouquet available for same day flower delivery will certainly be a gift to remember!

(PRWEB UK) 17 June 2014

Treating a loved-one to flowers is a perfect way to make them feel special and say ‘I love you’. Flowers for gifts can be given on Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, birthdays- or anytime of year to brighten their day.

London florist and online flower delivery service Flowers24Hours has a beautiful selection and offers flower delivery same day in London, next day delivery for the rest of the UK and international flower delivery from UK. So wherever they are in the world, Flowers24Hours bouquets will reach them.

Any flowers and gifts are sure to be appreciated, but these meanings behind romantic flowers could be an inspiration.

Roses

Sending a dozen red roses is the classic romantic gesture, and signifies completeness and stability in a relationship. This is because the number twelve suggests the twelve hours of the day and twelve months of the year that a loved-one is in your thoughts. Each number of roses has a different meaning: for example, 15 roses means ‘I’m sorry’ while 108 roses means ‘Marry me’! A single rose is also a traditional way to say ‘I love you and only you’.

Yellow roses, like this yellow flower arrangement that comes with a cuddly teddy bear, symbolise happiness and friendship (key ingredients in any good relationship!). These make perfect celebration gifts and bring a ray of sunshine into the home: take a look at the selections in florists or a flower market in London.

Purple flowers are associated with royalty and luxury, and their dark blooms create a sense of seduction and enchantment. A sultry arrangement of six ruby roses will also delight and enchant a loved one. Pink roses symbolise joy and admiration, and a lovely flower bouquet like this bunch of pink roses and freesias is sure to delight. For a very special gift, send roses London and the UK.

Orchids

These delicate, exotic blooms have fascinated mankind for millennia. In ancient Greece, they were associated with virility and in traditional Chinese medicine they are used to cure respiratory illnesses. They were incredibly popular with the Victorians who collected them avidly, and so orchids became associated with luxury and style. Today their otherworldly beauty is still coveted, and orchids make striking gifts.

This sumptuous Jolanta flower arrangement for online deliveries combines two romantic flowers: purple orchids and pink roses, to create a look of true luxury. For a gift of real style and refinement for a loved one, white orchids are a great choice, while pink orchids represent true affection- like the Precious Things design where the blooms are arranged like exotic gems. Look no further than orchids when for luxury flowers London.

Other romantic flowers to send online are elegant irises that represent faith and hope; sunflowers that express pure joy and happiness, and carnations known as the ‘flower of love’ and have had significance in cultures and religions since the ancient Greeks. These dozen red carnations are a perfect alternative to traditional roses, and convey deep love and affection.

For those needing to send flowers to London soon, online florist and flower gift shop Flowers24Hours offers same day flower delivery London. For nationwide, next day flower delivery UK is available also.
