I generally lean toward alternative methods to treat dis-ease, and kinda fear traditional methods of treatment.
But the truth is, I am fortunate enough to have never been in the situation where I really have to make such a decision about treatment of a major illness. So, I can never, from this standpoint, say what route I would take. But, I do believe that whatever choice anyone makes about their treatment is their personal choice, and every route has one factor that I will IMPLORE anyone to take––Be confident in your choice.
And… Seek ways to ease your process, whatever you choose.
Barbara Mansfield, and her husband Phil have come up with some amazing alternative tips for soothing the body and spirit during the process of clearing Cancer from the body. The book’s Illustrations provide clear instructions on acupressure and reflexology points, as well as helpful nutrition, movement, aromatherapy and meditation tips from licensed practitioners currently working in renowned pediatric oncology clinics.
Imagine if more and more people dedicated their time to bringing modalities like Aromatherapy and Acupuncture into oncology wards?
I ask you to take a look at the work they are doing. They have just completed a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for the printing of this wonderful book, and are now gearing up for print and distribution to several hospitals they are working with. If you work in a hospital that is considering nurturing their preventative care work, consider working with the Killian Mansfield Foundation.
THE BOOK
Grumpy Fish Aid: Comfort Tips From Kids With Cancer is for ANYONE who has ever felt nausea, headache, indigestion, anxiety, sunburn, depression, cramps…you know, discomfort. Children and teens with cancer know a lot about how to feel better, and in Grumpy Fish Aid, they offer humor, and practical advice. The book’s Illustrations provide clear instructions on acupressure and reflexology points, as well as helpful nutrition, movement, aromatherapy and meditation tips from licensed practitioners currently working in renowned pediatric oncology clinics.
Killian Mansfield originated the character of Grumpy Fish when he was dealing with cancer at age 11. His mother, Barbara Mansfield, along with practitioner Diane Rooney, L.Ac, LMT, Killian’s dad Phil Mansfield, and illustrator Derrick Freeland are creating a new book based on one that was distributed to seven pediatric oncology hospital programs in three states between 2011 and 2013. The new book will incorporate suggestions from patients and medical staff from the hospitals that got the original book.
