Spring 2005
Welcome to the first Avenues of 2005! The past twelve months have been incredible
for the Pine Street Foundation and this coming year promises to be our best
yet. In addition to continuing our work on the various research
studies and educational programs we've discussed in recent Avenues,
we're also:
SERVING as peer reviewers
for major publications, such as the Cochrane Collaboration,one of the most
prestigious databases of systematic
reviews and meta-analyses. We recently peer-reviewed a proposed manuscript
involving the combined use of Chinese herbal medicine and standard treatments
for HIV.
GATHERING data for our clinical trials database,
which will be the most comprehensive online resource for locating and enrolling
in alternative
and complementary medical clinical trials.
PLANNING the Seventh Chinese
Medical Health Screening. This annual event will take place on Sunday,
May 22nd, in San Rafael, California. Dozens of practitioners from all over
the Bay Area will gather to screen the general public using Chinese medical
diagnostic techniques. Click here for more information about this event and
how you can
participate.
SEEKING grant funding for various research projects,
including the Pine Street Survival Study for Breast Cancer, a clinical trial
for
lung cancer patients, and Canine Scent Detection for Breast Cancer and Ovarian
Cancer.
PUBLISHING the Pine Street Survival Study for Lung
Cancer and Colon Cancer as well as the results of our meta-analysis on Chinese
herbal medicine and survival after chemotherapy for liver cancer.
Finally, we
would
like to acknowledge all the individuals, foundations, and companies
who so graciously supported the Pine Street Foundation during 2004. Your
generosity is integral to the success of our mission and we hope you'll continue
to
support our work during the coming year.
Best wishes,
Michael Broffman, LAc
