Overview

Dr. Heidi Weinhold, ND, will discuss the advantages of Integrating Homeopathy into Breast Cancer Treatment Plans. Homeopathic medicine has a low risk of side effects because it is micro dosed. Incorporating Homeopathy is a cost-effective, low risk adjunct treatment and may be considered in patients undergoing mastectomy, breast reconstruction and/or radiation. Homeopathic medicine is available to everyone. Attendees will receive an easy to follow Homeopathic chart that medical providers can use to dose homeopathy and incorporate homeopathic protocols into their Breast Cancer Treatment Plans.
