Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 08, 2012

The National Basketball Retired Players Association (NBRPA), the only Association comprised of NBA, ABA and Harlem Globetrotters alumni, today announced a new member program with GotProHealth a group focused on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Complementary medicine includes modalities such as integrative medicine, acupuncture, massage therapy, herbal medicine, chiropractic and naturopathic medicine.

As part of this new program, GotProHealth will educate players and their families on the use of complementary and natural medicine. GotProHealth has developed a national network of qualified and licensed professionals in the field of complementary medicine so that former NBA, ABA and Harlem Globetrotters players will have access to premier practitioners around the country. GotProHealth recently launched a similar program with the NFL Players Association.

Health and wellness is a priority for our members and their families, said NBRPA CEO Arnie D. Fielkow. Joining forces with GotProHealth was a natural partnership for our Association, as members look to become better educated about treatments for various health issues. Our members and their families will also benefit by having access to GotProHealths national network of reputable practitioners.

The National Institutes of Health report that a significant percentage of Americans are now using some form of complementary medicine. In the United States, individuals and organizations alike are embracing the concept of wellness and preventative care. GotProHealth's website and national network is also available to the general public. For more information, visit http://www.GotProHealth.com.

As professional athletes, we push our bodies to extreme limits, said former NFL running back Ken Jenkins, President of GotProHealth. Our ongoing health and injury related issues require the insight of highly skilled practitioners. GotProHealths mission is to make those exceptional practitioners readily available to the athletes, their families, and to the general public.

DNet TV: Welcomes Dr. Ozzie - Functional Medicine Center - Video

FOUR years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer of the lymph nodes and the oncologist who examined me at St. Lukes Hospital recommended chemotherapy. I chose another pathalternative or integrative medicineand went to Dr. Regio Sales who is one such practitioner in Bacolod. Until May of this year I was under his care.

Right at the start Dr. Sales had a valuable piece of advice; toxins in the body trigger the uncontrollable division of cancer cells; the toxins develop from any of three (3) sourcesa poor diet, a negative mind and/or a poor spirituality. His recommendation: I can help you with your diet, but you take care of your mind and your spirit yourself. And for four years that was the kind of teamwork that we had. He loaded me with supplements to make sure my body was getting all the vitamins and minerals needed to address any disease, and I just made sure mind and soul were kept healthy too.

By the close of this summer of 2012, however, the lumps inside my body, especially the ones close to my throat and the one along my groin had grown so large that my windpipe was in danger of closing and my right leg was bloated all out of proportion compared to the left one. At this point, apparently realizing that integrative medicine could no longer contain the Big C, Dr. Sales referred me to an oncologist in Manila who told me that chemotherapy could not be avoided this time.

The biopsy conducted after I returned to Bacolod indicated that I had non-Hodgkins lymphoma of the aggressive type. The doctors report noted that I was already at Stage 4 of the cancer which by all accounts is already terminal. That I lasted four years from what was diagnosed to be an aggressive kind of lymphoma is to me a blessing that Dr. Sales treatment had granted me. But this is not the main point of this article.

My laymans understanding of a person suffering from Stage 4 malignancy is that he is already a hospital caseweak, withering, writhing in pain. I am told that some of the usual discomforts of chemotherapy include baldness, loss of appetite and taste and, sometimes, vomiting and headaches. I have had neither of these.

I have not felt pain during the four years of treatment except for discomforts in breathing and walking during the months before I began chemotherapy last September; I continue to work in the office and appear in court, albeit a little limited, and my weight has been steady. I even joined the 2013 local elections as a candidate for councilor! I may have lost most of my hair, but after three sessions of chemo, kansi still tastes as heavenly-delicious as before! And with the lumps in my throat and other parts of the body dramatically reduced in size, the feeling of well-being is indescribable.

My point? I attribute all of these to the fact that through all of the last four years I have kept a positive outlook over what could have been a mind and spirit-unsettling condition. I accepted my condition as something only God and my doctor could control; and since the cancer cells are not within my own power to control I let God and my doctors worry about them. What the mind believed, the body dutifully followed. I refused to accept cancer as a problem, and my body did so too. I believed I could live normally in spite of it, and my body did, too. I may also add that the prayers of family and friends were the confidence-booster that made me believe I could do it.

Yesterday, my daughter in New Zealand told me about an office-mate who was recently diagnosed with 3rd stage cancer. She said he was a strong strapping fellow with a very healthy disposition whose only problem was that he sometimes had trouble swallowing. Yet, when told he had cancer he suddenly deteriorated and just two months after, was already in critical condition. My daughter had to let me know because she said both his experience and mine were classic examples of how to face problems with diseasesand how not too. I could only agree with her.

Why Is Body and Organ Support So Important?
In this 2010 interview Dr. Graeme Shaw MD, integrative medicine practitioner, is asked "Why is body and organ support so important?" His answer: "I feel that due to the fact that most of us live in an ever more toxic environment with increased levels of all kinds of stress, both physical stress and mental stress, continuing herbal support is more important than ever. In Eastern Medicine, stress can cause the energy and organs of the body to become out of balance. When physical stress and emotional stress are high in a person #39;s body, a greater need for support can exist. For those people who practice stress reducing activities like yoga, meditation, tai chi, chi gong, breathing exercises, or detoxification, they can provide their body and organs with crucial health support to combat the damaging effects of stress. There are hundreds of books written about how stress can harm the human body and mind. Since it is nearly impossible to completely remove all physical and emotional stress from one #39;s life, I find herbal dietary supplementation to be a perfect way to support these key areas of the body and mind. For instance, I have found that taking Get Well Natural #39;s Cell Saver, Calm Ezz and Cardio Well, twice per day, to be perfect at supporting my organs and body. I feel more energy, clarity and vitality since beginning these formulas. And, since I have taken these products for many years, I have felt this good for some time." http://www.GetWellNatural.comFrom:GetWellNaturalLLCViews:0 0ratingsTime:01:26More inEducation

What Supplements Would You Take to Support Platelet Function?
In this 2010 video interview with Dr. Graeme Shaw MD integrative medicine practitioner out of Los Altos California, Dr. Shaw was asked "What nutritional and herbal supplements would you add to your dietary protocol to best support healthy platelets if you were concerned with low platelet counts and Idiopathic thrombocytopenia Purpura or ITP" Dr. Shaw responded "If I were concerned with a low platelet count or ITP, I would take several dietary supplements that support the general health of my body and key organs associated with platelet production. I would take nutritional products like a good multi vitamin/mineral supplement to ensure that my body is not deficient in any essential nutrients. As for herbal supplements, for optimum support for healthy platelet counts as well as a healthy immune system and bone marrow function, I would take Get Well Natural #39;s Blood Well and Restore Immune II, twice per day. These two products are found in the ITP Kit available through Get Well Natural which is the original supplier of these products. Blood Well was specifically formulated to support healthy blood, blood platelets and bone marrow function. Restore Immune II was designed to work synergistically with Blood Well to offer additional health support for a balanced immune system, normal platelet counts, and normal coagulation function. Since stress can cause so many imbalances in the body, I would also use Calm Ezz to support a healthy emotional state.

Dr. Graeme Shaw MD answers the question "What are the symptoms and common health problems associated with Low platelets" in this 2010 interview. Dr. Shaw is a Los Altos integrative medicine specialist. Dr. Shaw #39;s answer is as follows "Common symptoms and health problems associated with Low Platelets can include excessive bleeding, bruising easily, petechiae, bleeding from the gums or nose, heavy menstrual periods, and poor coagulation function.
