Well, ginger's ability to treat nausea is really impressive. Many researches show that ginger has been found effective for treating nausea caused by seasickness, morning sickness and chemotherapy also. But chemotherapy patients should not take ginger if their blood-clotting ability is impaired.
Try Reed’s Ginger Brew. It varies from 8 to 26 grams per bottle!

Hi Blogger,

I’m contacting you on behalf of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine to inform you of a new, interactive, e-newsletter called Advances in Oncology for Community-based Oncologists (www.oncdoccme.com) .
This quarterly, interactive newsletter will address particular challenges common to oncology practice in rural environments and is designed to increase the likelihood that rural cancer patients receive the most current evidence-based treatment and achieve longer survival.
The e-newsletter intends to:
• Provide an overview of clinical research, emerging technologies, new therapies and their side effects, as well as office initiatives that can improve the delivery of care.
• Provide depth and perspective to the most important scientific findings, facilitating application of research results to patient care.
• Address particular challenges common to oncology practice in rural environments.
• Provide a maximum of 2.0 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM to physicians that participate in the free educational activity.
I’d like to invite you to visit www.oncdoccme.com , browse the content, and possibly feature us in your blog should it meet your stamp of approval.
We hope you can take the time to do a quick write up of Advances in Oncology for Community Based Oncologists and thank you tremendously for your support. If you should need anything else (additional screenshots, logos, etc.), please let me know.

And now I suggest to my colleague to go through from this article. For the more information visit on www(dot)snoringisboring(dot)com.

I posed the question of how to proceed with respect to this interaction to a medical oncologist here who is a member of the breast ca tumor group. His response was that he looks at each patient and the situation individually.
- If the intention is to treat hot flashes, than gabapentin or venlafaxine would be 1st line.
- If the patient is being treated for a psychiatric illnes and is on one of the potentially problematic medications (for instance, paroxetine or fluoxetine) but could theoretically be managed by another medication, he would alert the family GP or prescribing MD.
- If it was a patient that has a history of depression and tried on multiple agents and now stable with fluoxetine or paroxetine, he would be hesitant to change.
