New Book is First to Examine Cancer Disparities and Offer Interventions

New Book is First to Examine Cancer Disparities and Offer Interventions

Hi everyone,

I found what sounds like an amazing new book that provides information on cancer disparities and offers evidence-based interventions. It's co-published by the American Cancer Society and the Springer Publishing Company.

Here's a quote from the article:
"'Cancer Disparities: Causes and Evidenced-Based Solutions' provides real-life examples of how barriers to cancer prevention, care, and information can be reduced or eliminated, " said Otis W. Brawley, M.D., Chief Medical Officer for the American Cancer Society.

I know this will be very useful for future cancer service learning classes.

A surgeon brings cancer care to Harlem (Dr. Harold Freeman)

http://www.cancernetwork.com/breast-cancer/content/article/10165/1155980

This is a great article about Dr. Harold Freeman, a Harlem "guru" of cancer servcies and advocacy for the underserved.  He is a former president of the American Cancer Society, Director of Surgery at Harlem HospitalHospital, and started the Patient Navigator Institute.

This is a quote from him in the article: “We found that poor Americans, regardless of race, have a 5-year cancer survival rate 10% to 15% lower than other Americans. It was important because it made us look at the universal meaning of being poor, irrespective of race,” Dr. Freeman said. It also showed the fragile nature of being poor: without access to healthcare, the poor disappear into themselves."

Nice work!

I saw donation boxes all over campus today and the fundraising group enthusiastically hawking delicious baked goods in the NAC. Good work everybody!

"John of God" You Should read about this man some said he can heal cancer and other diseases

Let me know what you think??????

João Teixeira de Faria, internationally known as John of God or João de Deus, is arguably the most powerful unconscious medium alive today and possibly the best-known healer of the past 2000 years. However, João is a humble man who is very clear about one thing: “I do not cure anybody. God heals, and in his infinite goodness permits the Entities to heal and console my brothers. I am merely an instrument in God’s divine hands.” – John of God. The medium Joao Teixeira has no formal medical training. Instead he gives over his consciousness and incorporates the spirits of past doctors and saints. These entities give talks, examine the waiting masses and conduct the visible and invisible operations.

It is estimated that he has treated, either directly or indirectly, up to 15 million people during the past 40 years.

We hope you enjoy our DVD about the healing process in the Casa de Dom Inacio de Loyola and that you use it to prepare for your travel and access the healing energy of the clinic.
