An old friend, one of the few who I have not come to know through prostate cancer, recently introduced me to a couple of men who are doing some very interesting work in the realm of social ventures. Between them, they have established several efforts including Wacuri, Generocity, and a mind-body healing program that I ‘sampled’ personally last Friday through a virtual meeting. While we are not yet sure how this initial meeting will develop, I feel certain that you will be hearing more about our joint efforts.
AnCan is a firm believer in the role of complementary medicine …… we often speak about the role of exercise, diet and stress relief in our virtual groups. For those unfamiliar with the term, complementary medicine is used alongside Western medicine with the intention of enhancing treatment. It is not meant to be used instead of Western medicine, and may often include protocols employed frequently in Eastern medicine like acupuncture or reiki. AnCan always recommends that you consult your medical team if you decide to employ a complementary practice.
There are several links to articles and webinars on our website to complementary medicine. Check under ‘Nutrition’ on the link – soon to be changed to ‘Complementary Medicine’!
