July 23: The Fourfold Approach to Cancer – part 2

by Tom Cowan, MD

Friday, July 23, 2010
6:30 to 8:30 PM

Location:
Market of Choice
67 West 29th, Eugene
Upstairs in the Community Room

This is the second part of the DVD we showed in June. This DVD was recorded at the 2009 Wise Traditions Conference.

“An overview of cancer from the perspective of the work of Weston Price. This presentation will include a description of the “true” cause of cancer and explore the shortfalls of conventional diagnosis (including biopsy) and treatment.”Thomas Cowan, MD is a physician in private medical practice in San Francisco, California. He is a frequent lecturer around the country on health and nutrition. His book, The Fourfold Path to Healing, was published in 2004. Dr. Cowan serves on the Board of Directors of The Weston A. Price Foundation. Visit his website at www.fourfoldhealing.com.

Dr. Cowan is a frequent contributor to the Wise Traditions Journal, and if you have never had the opportunity to hear Dr. Cowan speak I highly recommend it. His talks defy easy description, combining medical knowledge and anthroposophy, with an entertaining story-telling style. In this presentation he covers the great questions of what causes cancer, the immune system, the digestive system, the ecological effects of civilization, the future of humanity and much more. Come see for yourself.

Feb 19: DVD – “The Use of Proteolytic Enzymes Against Cancer: The Origins of an Idea”

by Nicholas Gonzalez

Friday, February 19, 2010
6:30 to 8:30 PM
(Please note earlier starting time)

Location:
Market of Choice
67 West 29th, Eugene
Upstairs in the Community Room

This DVD was recorded at the 2009 Wise Traditions Conference.

“In his talk, Dr. Gonzalez will trace the evolution of the idea, beginning 100 years ago, that pancreatic proteolytic enzymes, above and beyond their well known digestive function, serve as our bodies’ main defense against cancer and are an effective anti-cancer supplement. He will discuss in some detail the work of Dr. John Beard, the pioneering English biologist who in elegant meticulous detail first proposed the enzyme hypothesis, and who along the way first identified stem cells and their probable role as the progenitor cancer cell—some 60 years before stem cells would be “rediscovered” in the 1960s, and 90 years before cancer researchers would propose that dysregulated stem cells are the culprit in malignant disease. Dr. Gonzalez will bring the enzyme concept up to date, presenting the experiences of Dr. William Kelley during the 1970s and 80s, and his own 20 year-experience using enzymes as a cancer treatment in his research studies and in his private practice. Throughout the talk, Dr. Gonzalez will emphasize the scientific support for the enzyme approach”
