  • hi charlie. sorry to hear about your diagnosis and needing chemo. i dont know if what i'm going to say will help you as i dont have first hand experience. however my mum was sadly diagnosed with pancreatic ca earlier this yr, and as she did not want conventional treatments, we opted for an alternative approach. we found an australian hypnotherapist called dr rick collingwood, who is i guess australia's paul mckenna. anyway he had done a lot of work with cancer patients, so we contacted him to help my mum, who at the time was in extreme pain, very depressed, unable to sleep and not really eating. he recommended his cancer and mind body healing cds for her to listen to at night, and i swear overnight each of the symptoms improved, to the point that within a few days she was back to 'normal'... anyway rick did also come to london to work with her as well. anyway even though she did not have chemo, we obviously researched rick's work well before paying him to come here. he has actually done a cancer trial, and worked with many cancer patients. he has managed to effectively 'wipe out' the effects of the chemo nearly completely in all patients, and totally in some. to me it sounds worth a shot, as i saw mum go through chemo for breast cancer 2 years before, and i only wish we'd found him before. anyway if you are interested the company is called mind motivations uk (you can find it by googling it)- his cds are there, as well as results of the trial. i do hope this is of some help, and good luck with everything. farah
