Cancer is a good example
of a condition where alternative therapies are very useful. Everyday, we hear about
countless people who have "refused to give up" and living many years after their
doctor has given them the death warrant or "few months to live." Even if we do
not extend our life span considerably, several of the therapies we have described here can
be used to improve the quality of life for those who are diagnosed with cancer. Any
therapies that elicit relaxation response is great for cancer. Examples are meditation, guided imagery, yoga, prayer
and spiritual healing, bio feedback, bodywork,
Pet Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Music Therapy and so on. Please refer to our
section on stress management for ideas for
relaxation.
