Shopping Guide
We all like to look our best, but sometimes don’t know where to find those articles of clothing etc. that help us feel better about ourselves when we are feeling low or where to go for a “pep-me-up” when we need to feel more human again. Hopefully we can help to some extent. Although we don’t sell anything ourselves, please find below a list of suppliers who we recommend, along with a brief description of what they do, and how to get in contact with them.

PAINLESS CANCER CURES & Preventions Your Doctor May Not Be Aware Of (book)
The book is about alternative cancer therapies, non-toxic treatments without chemo & radiation that have cured many cancer patients. There are many people fighting (for example) terminal brain cancers that have no idea that there are non-toxic cures for terminal brain cancer that do NOT involve chemo or radiation. I worked with med-surg patients in hospitals and was appalled when many of my patients did not die of cancer, but from the chemo and radiation they received. I also lost 3 family members to cancer BEFORE I ever knew most of the information in this book! I followed bone marrow & stem cell transplant patients for an insurance company - so I know some of the awful things that people go through when they undergo chemo and radiation. I wrote this book after studying alternative cancer remedies.
The book can be ordered at amazon.co.uk, barnesandnoble.com, amazon.com and most online bookstores in the U.S., Canada, Europe and the United Kingdom. Just type in the name of the book. It is a 728 page book, packed full with information on every major cancer as well as some rare cancers, and alternative cures! Feel free to post this note on your bulletin board if you wish. There is also more info at www.painlesscancercures.com. Contact me at my email address (you or your members) if you wish!
The Pink Cook Book
We are staff nurses working in the main operating theatres at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge.
Following the death of a 31-year-old colleague from breast cancer in 2004, we have produced the Pink Cookbook with proceeds going to Breast Cancer research.
We have over 70 recipes, mostly from theatre staff, also from celebrities including Cherie Booth QC (Patron of Breast Cancer Care), Dr Mary Archer (Chair of Addenbrooke’s Hospital Trust), Frankie Dettori (patient at Addenbrooke’s after plane crash in June 2000) and Blue Peter plus recipes from local restaurants Pink Geranium, Wimpole Hall and Steven Saunders at Sheen Mill, Melbourn.
Marie Louise, known as ML was always full of life and fought to make the most of each second of each day towards the end of her life. This book is compiled in her memory in recognition of her bravery, for the loss of a friend and for all those who have Breast Cancer or who have lost a friend or relative to Breast Cancer.
Regards
Ros Jackson and Katherine Tester
