Blogs: Pfeifer Prostate Protocol, Tattoos, Helpline and an art project

Last month I was lucky to join a zoom for doctors and complementary practitioners to hear a presentation by Professor Ben L. Pfeifer, M.D., Ph.D (i). He developed a particular treatment for hormone-driven prostate cancer - a cancer that will effect as many as one in seven men in the UK and last year became the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK. 

I ended up writing a blog for Wigwam Cancer Support Groups - you can see it here: https://www.wigwam.org.uk/post/a-look-at-the-pfeifer-prostate-protocol

It is also worth mentioning I am helping put together weekly blog posts on the Wigwam website - in the last couple of weeks we've added blogs on:

1. A blog by a Cheltenham tattooist that I met recently; she is doing some amazing work with women that you can read about. I've also now managed to connect her with the NHS Nipple/Areola Tattoo clinics in Glos and BristolIn Glos they also use  ‘Keeping Abreast’: the Southwest Reconstruction charity who provide information, supports the Nipple/Areola Tattoo services plus gives advice regarding non-medical breast and chest wall Tattooing.

2. A blog about the Yes to Life Helpline and the info they can give regarding discounts and integrative health; they are looking for more volunteers so if interested do get in touch.

3. A blog about a beautiful magazine I came across with 'Unheard Voices' of cancer; I've been so inspired by them that we are now exploring the possibility of a similar project in Gloucestershire. If you are reading this and interested then please do get in touch.
