7 Key Healthy Strategies From a 15-Year Cancer Survivor

I did not think I'd still be alive after diagnosed with a brain tumor in the spring of 1998 at age 24, 15 years ago. In my healing path since then -- having been treated with two awake brain surgeries and hundreds of integrative cancer therapies, my own professional cancer jobs, and many other positions -- I've learned seven key healthy strategies with transformative healing outcomes.

Integrative Oncology Offers Relief for Cancer Patients

At times, strong proponents of either traditional or alternative medicine have suggested that the two approaches are mutually exclusive. However, droves of medical professionals are proving that traditional cancer care is improved with the addition of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).

Holistic hugs, well deserved

They answered the call. They delivered a conference. They deserve our thanks.

Running a conference is a risky proposition. A lot can go wrong. There’s no guarantee of financially breaking even, let alone making enough money to pay for all the staff time and other expenses that go into presenting such an event. Thankfully, AHMA had an edge this year.

Building Community at the Gateway Medical Conference

If you attended the AHMA/AAEM conference on Fatigue, you know what a phenomenal experience it was. It seemed like the energy just kept rising higher and higher during the course of the week (which is a very good thing when it is a conference on fatigue!) By the last few days, multiple people enthusiastically told me how much they were loving the conference, that they had learned more and had made more new friends than at any conference they had been to in years. That just makes my “Mama President” side happy!

Collective Energy

In an opinion piece in last month's Time , the writer argued for the necessity of organized religion. Institutions and "obligations," he says, offer and do more for people than what might be found by those who are  "spiritual but not religious," a growing category of Americans explored and quantified by a recent Pew report.

“Institutions can be slow, plodding, dictatorial... But institutions are also the only mechanism human beings know to perpetuate ideologies and actions.”

I learned something about the community that exists within AHMA, of the members for the members.

Your Legacy at AHMA

One of the advantages to being an organization that has been around for a long time is we can build successfully on the good work and dedication others have already put into our beloved AHMA. I got a feel for the richness of our holistic medicine heritage when we convened our first Past Presidents' Council meeting recently. The emails were flying after that meeting, with the Past Presidents sharing information about the AHMA's adventures in maintaining a journal for our members. This journal had its ebbs and flows but was overall a well-appreciated part of the AHMA's heritage. Hearing those stories helped to solidify our own current decisions to create lively and interactive communities on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, our blog and on our website forum.

Do GMOs in food cause harm to your patients? Tell your story

A Letter from Gretchen DuBeau, Esq.,
Executive & Legal Director of ANH-USA

Dear AHMA Members:

On behalf of the Alliance for Natural Health USA (ANH-USA), we want to thank AHMA and its members for taking a stand on genetically modified organisms (GMOs). By endorsing the 2012 California ballot initiative that would have required labeling GMOs, AHMA stands with the ninety percent of Americans who want to know about all the ingredients in their food.

But now we need your help in an even more tangible way.
