Summer 2007

Welcome to the summer issue of Avenues! We have been very busy here at the Pine Street Foundation since last we wrote. In this issue of Avenues, we bring you two very different but equally interesting articles:

HEALTHY AT 100: AN AFTERNOON WITH JOHN ROBBINS
This past spring, we invited John Robbins to Marin County to speak about his life and new book, Healthy at 100. Born into a family that "was not about health and healing," Robbins spoke about the impact diet, relationships, and respect have on our health and the health of our society.

BECOMING YOUR OWN ADVOCATE: ANTIOXIDANTS & CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENT
While it is true that there are some antioxidants that can hinder chemotherapy’s effects, recent research suggests that there are some antioxidants that, when combined with chemotherapy, can increase the effectiveness of treatment by upwards of 30%. In this article, we seek to provide some clarity on this topic by providing useful guidelines that patients and health care providers can use to make better, more informed treatment decisions. Although this article specifically focuses on advanced metastatic prostate cancer, future articles will focus on the use of antioxidants and chemotherapy in the treatment of other cancers.

THANK YOU
Finally, on behalf of the entire board, thank you for helping us advance the field of integrative medicine and provide essential support to thousands of cancer survivors every year. Your support really makes a difference.

Best wishes,

Michael Broffman, LAc
Michael McCulloch, LAc, MPH
