Positron emission tomography (PET) is a useful diagnostic tool that supports the need for more accurate staging of lung cancer and improved therapy for patients, concludes an extensive systematic review published online today in Journal of National Cancer Institute. The review conducted by the Lung Cancer Disease Site Group of Cancer Care Ontarios Program in Evidence-Based Care led by a Sunnybrook researcher, Dr. Yee Ung, evaluates the accuracy and utility of 18-fluorodeoxyglucose PET (18FDG-PET) in the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer……..

To Whom It May Concern:

The Center for the Study of Natural Oncology, Inc. has been successful in securing some funding for its program expansion this past year. However, the resources raised have been quickly usurped by serving people who have cancer and come to us for help. Funding is challenging at best. Accordingly, we are encouraging your company and/or foundation to support CSNO?s (The Center for the Study of Natural Oncology, Inc.) operational and program concerns in the amount of $50,000 per month. $25,000 per month will be placed in our $10,000,000 Endowment Fund. This contribution will help increase the revenue for optimized and expanded services in education, research, and care for people with cancer.

The most rewarding moments at CSNO happen when we help people in need find the right treatment for their cancer as the attached brochure/insert and following letter indicate:

    
    

    
    
    
?My life was a fairy tale, absolutely perfect, until the phone rang. I heard Gregory on the line saying, ? ?.malignant tumor in my liver.? In one split second my world shattered.
   
I immediately searched the internet for some direction and within minutes I found The Center for the Study of Natural Oncology. I contacted them and a doctor took my call immediately. I was sobbing and scared. He reassured me that there was a great deal we could do and suggested we start with a well-thought out corrective protocol that would not conflict with our other choices.
   
In the meantime, we went to see conventionally-trained doctors. None of them offered us advice on diet, nutrition, lifestyle or even of our body?s natural ability to heal.
   
CSNO, however, had already given us hope we knew the less beaten path of natural medicine would yield better success for us. So when we heard the dire predications from the other doctors, we smiled and thanked them for their time. After giving Gregory an imminent death sentence, we saw their befuddled faces as they watched us walk away happily away. We knew something they didn?t-natural oncology was the way to go.
   
We heeded the direction of the doctors at the CSNO clinic. They made house visits, accepted calls at all hours of the day and gave us the utmost care and respect. We never felt alone.
   
Through the efforts of this group, we extended Gregory?s life 13 months after diagnosis when it was predicted he would only live a couple of months at best. We were given an enormous gift-for us, every moment was precious. No touch or look was taken for granted. Every word was sweet between us was every gesture. For this reason Gregory gave me instructions to start a foundation to help this clinic to assist others in receiving the blessings that we were given. Our eternal thanks goes to the Center for the Study of Natural Oncology because they gave us precious time to be together and love deeply.

Education/Care

The ?One-Stop Cancer Care? Program is set up at The Center for the Study of Natural Oncology, Inc. in Solana Beach, CA, and San Diego Clinic in Tijuana, Mexico, and is serving to provide information to people with cancer from all over the world. Our major objective is to finesse cancer into a sustainable remission. Under these circumstances, information is the most valuable commodity in the world. Our goal is to provide fast, accurate, comprehensive, evaluated material from around the world, screening out all biases of cancer economics and politics. Individual and family consultations and counseling guarantee intensive interaction between the participants and program specialists. After making an educated decision about their health plan, participants have the opportunity to find the best course of treatment for their specific situation.

Participants then have the choice of receiving ongoing professional advice, or referral within our network to oncology professionals or support groups.
The ?People Care? Program was developed in response to the devastation among our uninsured and underserved populations, especially women and children. The People Care program ensures that people with cancer are able to receive the type of care they choose for their specific cancer and get the practical assistance they need. These people will be able to access:

1.   
pharmaceuticals
2.   
supplies
3.   
hotel and transportation needs
4.   
personal and/or daily care products
5.   
meals
6.   
comprehensive educational, behavioral, psychological, and emotional intervention, delivered by culturally sensitive and competent workers

The People Care Program is designed to rebuild and restore the ?whole? person, rendered primarily to medically underserved women and children, Latinos and African-Americans.

August 29, 2004 — Restylane update - This long-awaited filler material was recently approved by the FDA as a safe and effective soft tissue filler. As you may know Restylane has been used in Europe, Canada, and Mexico for several years with an excellent safety profile and wonderful long lasting results.

We have begun using Restylane for improvement of fine lines, wrinkles, lip enhancement, and scar camouflage. During December through February we will be offering Restylane treatments at a special introductory rate much less than the cost of other injectable alternatives. Check our quarterly coupons and monthly website promotions for great treatment discounts.

Restylane is a gel that is injected into the skin in order to smooth lines and wrinkles or add volume to lips. Restylane consists of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance already present in your body that helps maintain skin elasticity and plumpness.

The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is non-animal and therefore does not require skin testing and allergic reactions are very rare. The results provided by Restylane are immediate and can last up to one year, longer than collagen and most other soft tissue fillers. We are very excited to offer this new and exciting treatment in our offices.

For more information or to schedule an appointment call (888) 596-FACE.

I am getting ready to move out to Southern California in the new year, Orange County to be exact. It is really amazing planning for such a big change (I am currently in NYC). Besides planning for the million and one things you would normally think of I need to plan for one very important thing that not many people would think of, a new personal trainer. I have had a local personal trainer for the past 4 years and workout twice a week with him and twice a week on my own. Four years ago I had a huge beer belly and weighed in at 325 pounds. Today I am a lean 210 pounds and in the greatest shape of my life, so I want to make sure I have continuatiy with my personal training regiem for my move down South. I got hold of a local phone book and did a quick search for Orange County personal trainers, then I did the same on the web. I made up a short list of 5 local trainers and I will be going down next weekend to meet them. So the next chapter of my life will definately invovled Orange County fitness training because I want to stay slim and healthy!
