My first guest on the Holistic Health Show on BBS Radio (www.bbsradio.com) Station 3 last night was Dr Robert Eslinger of the Reno Integrative Medical Center. He has been in clinical practice for 27 years and combines traditional and complementary treatments for cancer patients. Treatments discussed included Nutritional Guidance, German New Medicine, Vitamin-Mineral Infusions, Immune Enhancement, Chelation Therapy, Oxidation Therapy and Homeopathy among others. Laetrile is part of the Vitamin Therapy used. More information is available at: http:www.renointegrative.com
On this show I also discussed my alternative treatments for lung cancer when I was given 6 months to live—33 years ago. Some of the interventions discussed were laetrile, a special diet, supplements, exercise, prayer, meditation, visualization, affirmations, emotional support, and faith. I am a registered nurse with two masters in public health nursing (U of California) and public health (Johns Hopkins U), and a doctorate in public health (Johns Hopkins U). I have continued a holistic approach to life and now at age 77 I am free of chronic illnesses and prescribed medications (average for age 75 is 3 chronic illnesses and 5 prescribed medications). My goal for this show is that you have the information so that you can achieve results similar to my own so that you can enjoy life without the pain, expenses, and inconveniences that often go along with chronic illnesses and prescribed medications. . More information about me can be found on this website.
