Alternative medicine includes a wide range of traditional and complementary practices. Many people find these valuable alongside conventional cancer treatment. Dr Pinn draws on a lifetime of clinical experience to offer an evidence-informed introduction to this important topic.
Furthermore, his exposure to healing practices across the Pacific and Indian Oceans, the Middle East, and Maori and Aboriginal cultures gives him a uniquely global perspective. As a result, this talk covers an extraordinary breadth of knowledge. It suits anyone affected by cancer, as well as health professionals and carers exploring holistic wellbeing.
