"In a safe, stimulating and profoundly supportive environment, HTC equipped me with a vital kit of healing theory and practice. Astonishingly, it enabled this staunch devotee of alternative medicine to de-stigmatize toxic chemotherapy and work alongside drugs to eliminate an aggressive cancer and minimize side effects. I thoroughly recommend this invaluable resource to anyone facing the daunting prospect of surgery, radiotherapy or chemo." - J.S. (lymphoma)
