Videos & DVDs from New Approaches

‘Co-Operation Cancer’ is a documentary style information video which the charity has produced to help get across the message that complementary therapies can help in the treatment of cancer. Thanks to a grant from the National Lottery Charities Board it has been produced to a high standard.

The video draws on the comments and experiences of both healthcare professionals and the patients themselves, emphasising that cancer is not simply a physical disease that can be treated with conventional surgery and drugs alone. It also illustrates the important role of voluntary cancer support groups and the ways in which they can be of help.

The list of experts interviewed in the programme is impressive. Among them Dr. Christine Page who speaks of the need to re-examine the role of the healthcare professional in the light of new evidence, and Dr. Rosy Daniel, of the Bristol Cancer Help Centre, who talks about new developments in the understanding of how a positive attitude can boost the immune system.

Other sections cover specific therapies such as aromatherapy, homeopathy, Bach Flower Remedies, osteopathy, yoga and nutrition. Journalist Jane Alexander of the Daily Mail illustrates the enormous amount of interest in holistic health issues.

Interviews with cancer patients explain how gentle complementary therapies have increased their sense of well-being and helped them to cope with the rigors of conventional treatment. We also see them at the New Approaches, Laleham support group receiving healing.

The video encourages patients to take an active role in the process of living with cancer, improving quality of life, and participating in the healing process.

A final quote from the video:

"The person who has the illness is more important than the illness the person has."
Dr. John Latham
