FW: Cancer Seminar Edinburgh 21/22 May

[Guest guest]

Hi All

There are still a few places left on this weekend ­ I really recommend that

you come if you want to be more effective at helping people who are dealing

with cancer.

More and more people are being diagnosed these days and conventional

medicine is unable to really help much if used on its own (and indeed make

matters worse most of the time).

People are looking for help in this area more and more ­ so please for your

patients sake and for your own sake, do not miss this opportunity.

Big Pharma wants to get an even tighter grip on this Œmega-bucks¹ area of

medicine ­ I will be discussing this and explaining exactly how to go about

your practice in a safe way, ensuring both your patient¹s safety and yours.

Please forward to any other list that may be relevant,

Thanks - hope to see you there!

Clinical Case Management in Cancer Care.  Botanical Strategies

Speakers:

Chanchal Cabrera  MSc, FNIMH, (RH)AHG

Fiona Shakeela Burns MNIMH

Saturday May 21 2011             9am to 6pm

Sunday May 22 2011               9am to 5pm

Cost:                                        £120 for the two days.

 Proceedings will be available to all delegates electronically after the

event.

Thirty student places available at £80.

A two day intensive for practitioners looking at ways to design

individualized, rational and effective holistic treatment plans. This is a

unique opportunity to hear two speakers who have between them over 30 years

of experience in working with cancer.

Chanchal has developed an integrated approach, often using herbs alongside

orthodox medicine. She has gained insight on how to manage this very modern

conundrum.

Chanchal will cover:      decoding the diagnosis - what do the tests mean

and how to interpret that information in a clinical application

designing a targeted treatment plan - specific strategies to address

identified risks

materia medica for cancer - the cyto-toxic herbs

managing surgery, chemo and radiation - maximizing efficacy and mitigating

harm

Shakeela has personal experience of cancer and has made changes in the way

she lives her life in order to heal.  She shares these changes and explains

the ŒSeven keys to Healing¹.  The distinct keys that she has identified as

being important in her own journey and also those of the people she has

helped.  She will also discuss how some of the ways that cancer is

misunderstood and hence treated, in our current medical model positively

hinder healing.

Shakeela will discuss how to go beyond these unhelpful beliefs and attitudes

as well as helping to clarify our roles as practitioners when it comes to

working with people who have cancer.

Biography

Chanchal has been a member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists

(UK) since 1987 and obtained her MSc in herbal medicine at the University of

Wales in 2003.  Her clinical specialty is helping people manage cancer.

 Chanchal has held the faculty chair in Botanical Medicine at the Boucher

Institute of Naturopathic Medicine in New Westminster since 2004.  She

serves on the board of advisors of Dominion Herbal College in Burnaby, on

the editorial board of Medical Herbalism clinical newsletter and she

publishes widely in professional journals and lectures internationally on

medical herbalism, nutrition and health.  Chanchal is the author of the book

ŒFibromyalgia ­ A Journey Toward Healing¹ published by Contemporary Books.

 She is a certified Master Gardener and a certified Horticulture Therapist.

 Chanchal lives on Vancouver Island, British Columbia where she and her

husband farm 7 acres.  They grow food for 10 households, culinary herbs for

restaurants and medicinal herbs for her clinic.  They also run therapy

gardens for people with disabilities and host internships in organic farming

and herbal medicine.  In 2009 Chanchal was honoured with a Fellowship in the

NIMH for service to the profession over 25 years.

Fiona Shakeela Burns MNIMH

Shakeela recovered completely from terminal cancer twice.  As a child she

had Leukaemia and sarcoma and her parents chose to take her to a naturopath

in preference to orthodox medical treatment.  With juices, herbs and radical

dietary shifts, she was able to make a full recovery.  Thirty years later,

having been a medical herbalist for 18 years, she became ill with cancer for

the second time ­ this time, metastasised cervical cancer which had gone to

the ovaries and the brain.  Orthodox medicine offered no hope of cure and

she was pronounced terminally ill by The Royal Marsden, London.  With

dedication and determination to heal herself, she embarked on her healing

journey and by June 08, just 10 months after the diagnosis, she no longer

had any cancer in her body.

She now runs a busy practice in Bristol and has since been able to help many

of the people who have come to her with diagnosis of cancer.

If you took Chanchal's 3 day 'Introduction to Holistic Oncology' intensive

in Manchester 2 years ago, this will be a great follow up with more

specifics and formulas including detailed strategies for specific conditions

and more discussion of collaboration opportunities with allopathic medicine.

 All delegates will get a copy of Chanchal's papers 'The Bio-Mechanics of

Cancer' when you register.  If you are new to this specialist field this is

a good introduction.
