Complemenatry Alternative Medicine use in Cancer
February 25, 2011
Many Americans use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in pursuit of health and well-being. These practices and products are typically those not considered to be part of conventional medicine. Complementary medicine is used together with conventional medicine and can include treatments like acupuncture to treat cancer pain. Alternative medicine is used in place of conventional medicine, so for instance turning to a cancer-fighting diet in place of chemotherapy in cancer treatments. Mario Chenal, MD discusses the role of CAM therapy in cancer care.

Be aware of the silent killer- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (or Triple A’s)-featuring Lorena De Marco Garcia, MD
An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a bulge in the abdomen section of the aorta, the body’s main artery. If the aorta bursts, it can cause serious bleeding that can quickly lead to death. This condition often has no symptom but can be found with a screening ultrasound. The Memorial Institute for Heart and Vascular Heath and Futura Health Screening are offering low-cost, painless screenings including abdominal aortic ultrasound to detect an aneurysm, carotid artery ultrasound to detect stroke-causing plaque, and ankle brachial index (ABI) to detect peripheral arterial disease in the legs. Screenings are $45 each or $125 for all three. (509) 249-5333 or (866) 486-4882
