[Wellness] Cure Magazine

["Karen Patterson" <Patterson@womens-wellness.com>]

Once again I have to give Cure magazine a huge nod for it's vlauable cancer
research and education updates.  I read every issue from cover to cover and
always learn so much.  Just a reminder to my membership:  Cure magazine is
free to all cancer survivors and caretakers and is also offered online at
www.curetoday.com

In this issue you will find information on the 2005 Patient & Survivor
Forums in Dallas April 23-24 with a focus on Survivorship (Sorry just got my
issue), Washington, DC on July 9 & 10 with a focus on Advocacy and San Diego
October 15 & 16 with a focus on complementary therapies & Integrative Care
INFO  www.curetoday.com/patientmeeting

Also in this issue Integrative medicines including touch therapy,
reflexology, massage, energy-based practices including healing touch,
therapeutic touch and reiki.  A very important point made is these
approaches in no way replace standard therapies hence the word alternative
or complementary.  Some great resources listed are:

American Massage Therapy Association  www.amtamassage.org

Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals  www.abmp.com

Be safe, be smart,be well, educate yourself and hold the power in your
hands---Patient Power!!
