Links to other sites

I have a very good friend who sufferers with Alopecia. She has had it since she was a child and is a great support to people with the same condition and also for people going through chemotherapy treatments. I am adding a link to her website as this site is being updated and any links may not go up right away.

www.alopecia-awareness.org.uk

Paul Kraus is a Mesothelioma sufferer who is celebrating his 10th year of surving Mesothelioma.
He has the peritoneal Mesothelioma (mesothelioma in the abdomin) which is rarer than the Pleural Mesothelioma.

www.survivingmesothelioma.com

Mr Kraus has also produced a book on how he is surviving this deadly cancer.


Another site that may have useful advise is cancer survivor. Although it is about breast cancer, a lot of the alternative therapy advice is for cancer in general.

www.cancer-survivor.org

This site has a lot of information about vitimins and minerals needed for a healthy body. It has a very good piece on antioxidants. Antioxidants help to keep free radicals under control.

www.newsuperfoods.com/

(Definition of free radicals : An atom or group of atoms that has at least one unpaired electron and is therefore unstable and highly reactive. In animal tissues, free radicals can damage cells and are believed to accelerate the progression of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and age-related diseases)

All of these sites give advice and do not try and take the place of a professional.It is always a good idea to consult your oncologist about any supplements you wish to try because if you are recieving conventional treatments, some may may not be compatable with medicines prescribed.

I hope this is helpful.
