Warriors Against Cancer: Annie Appleseed Conference Re-Cap

annie appleseed projectThe 8th Annual Evidence-based Complementary & Alternative Cancer Therapies Conference or lovingly called the “Annie Appleseed Project” was held in West Palm Beach, Florida the first weekend in March of 2014. The venue included presentations and exhibits about nutrition, herbs, Chinese medicine, stress reduction, sleep management, bioelectric devices, dietary supplements, detox remedies, massage therapy, yoga, homeopathy, touch healing, energy channeling, natural-based (non-chemical) cosmetics and many other tools to support the immune system for better health and wellbeing. There were a number of medical doctors looking for innovations for their therapy clinics located in the U.S. as well as in other countries. A stem cell institute offered a freezing alternative of stem cells collected from cancer patients prior to undergoing treatment, which is intended to boost their immune system during recovery when the stem cells are reintroduced into the patient’s body.
 
The synergy was amazing among cancer survivors willing to share their stories with others who recently experienced the heartbreak of a cancer diagnosis and who are starting their own battle against cancer. Many had loved ones with them because these caregivers (family members, spouses, and friends) were there to learn and participated in the life-critical discussions.

The Embassy Suites Hotel served all-you-can-eat organic buffets for the conference attendees which offered a wide selection of delicious food. Bright green kale seemed to be one of the favorites and was piled high on many plates.
