Patients and the Medical Community Support BioBands as a Drug Free Way to Treat Chemotherapy Nausea

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 1, 2007 -- With rates of many cancers on the rise, the use of chemotherapy drugs continues to play a critical role for individuals fighting cancer. Chemotherapy is often very effective as it destroy cancer cells by stopping them growing and multiplying. A major drawback of the treatment is that it also destroys healthy, normal cells. Many patients therefore experience negative side effects like dry mouth, hair loss, difficulty swallowing, nausea and vomiting.

Two side effects, nausea and vomiting can make it difficult for the cancer patient to go about their normal day. In fact, surveys show it is the side effect that cancer treatment patients fear the most. In most cases, drug free methods are the preferred way to treat chemotherapy nausea (http://www.biobands.com/cancer_treatment.htm).

One drug free method receiving the accolades of past and current cancer sufferers and those in the medical community is the BioBands patented wristband.

Dr. Mark Shulman, Program Director and Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology and St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in Boston, has been using the acupressure bands for over a year and has been pleased with the results. "Nausea and vomiting is one of the more frequent problems we have and there is no perfect treatment," Dr. Shulman said. "The acupressure wristbands are inexpensive, non-invasive, and studies show that they do have an effect."

The BioBands wristband is a safe, simple and effective method to treat chemotherapy nausea (http://www.biobands.com/testimonials.htm). "We're thrilled that Dr. Shulman has had such positive results with the wristbands. Other hospitals and medical centers are also recognizing that BioBands offers an effective solution to prevent chemotherapy related nausea and post-surgery nausea," explains Carl Nicholson, Marketing Director for BioBands.
