Pt2:Sean Holt Complementary Therapies for People with Cancer

See Part 1 here: www.youtube.com Part 2 of Dr Sean Holt’s discussion of complementary therapies at Café Scientifique, hosted by the Auckland Museum Institute, Friends of the Auckland Museum on July 28, 2010 Complementary Therapies for People with Cancer: Pearls in a Sea of Nonsense People diagnosed with cancer want to do everything they can to beat the disease and almost everyone will consider or try complementary therapies. Some of these therapies have been proven to work in good clinical trials, but the majority have not been tested, do not work or can be harmful. How does a person in this situation know what works and what does not? Without scientific training and the time to undertake the research it is impossible for almost everyone.

Dr Shaun Holt will tell you how this topic applies to people with cancer in New Zealand, what works, what doesn’t….and how to tell the difference. He is the director and founder of both Clinicanz, New Zealand’s only clinical trials Site Management Organization and The Vitamin Lab, who supply vitamins and supplements based on good scientific research. His 2008 book Natural Remedies That Really Work was a bestseller, he has a popular blog on evidence-based natural health, is the editor of the Natural Health Research Review and is on the international editorial board of the medical journal Focus on Alternative and Complementary Therapies.
