FAQ

How do we do this?
We train people to be consultants, not therapists (consultants are people who only advise cancer patients verbally; they do not perform any therapy, not even psychological therapy. Therapists are people who use therapies on patients, or with patients). We consider separation between treating specialist/therapist and consultant to be absolutely necessary so that conflicts of interest do not even occur. This is the only that a patient can be 100 % certain that he is being advised independently. A consultant earns money with his work, but ONLY with his verbal work, he does not earn “supplemental income” which unfortunately is the status quo today. Naturally we make all of our knowledge available to our consultants, this particularly includes which doctors and clinics offer holistic treatment, or successfully treat cancer.

May I request money for my consulting later?
Of course. Every holistic cancer consultant can and should advise people based on his personal life context (self-help group leader, former patient, physician, psychologist, naturopath, etc.), and naturally he should also be paid for this advice. The only difference between a treating specialist and the consultant is that the consultant does not perform any therapy on his own, for which he receives money from patients.

How long is the training course?
One 4 day course.The course do not just facilitate the usual transmission of course content, (this primarily occurs at home), rather they are designed to provide more depth on the material, to answer open questions, and to aid the personal development of the consultant, and the exchange of experience among participants.

What does the training course include?
An extensive curriculum in which the minimum knowledge required to holistically advise people with cancer is presented. Naturally this also includes the entire 3E program (Eat healthy, Eliminate toxins, Energetic work) and the knowledge of different cancer therapies, standard allopathic therapies, and diagnosis, and most importantly, knowledge of which conventional and non-conventional therapies are demonstrably successful for which types of cancer. The training enables each consult to create a consulting offering for his work. We do not think that each consultant should work in the same manner. Just as each patient is a unique individual, so each consultant must identify for himself the best way that he can advise and accompany people who are ill. We regard this point as the greatest challenge of the training course.

Do I need basic medical knowledge?
Yes and no. Basically we say that natural medical training will be quite helpful in learning the material, however it is not a necessity, if the person being trained is prepared to acquire the necessary knowledge.

Who are the instructors?
Mr. Lothar Hirneise, and others who can contribute to achieving the learning objective.

Please describe the activity of a holistic cancer consultant in practical terms?
Naturally the answer to these questions depends on the context of the individual, the professional experience of the individual, or the profession in which the individual would like to work. Basically the consultants offer accompaniment on the patient’s path – regardless of whether the patient wants to pursue a conventional path, or a non-conventional path. The consulting can take a few hours (3E program, accompanying the patient to the oncologist etc.) or it can extend over a longer period. Also close collaboration with the treating therapist is possible.

Where can I be trained and how much does it cost?

The training is only available in German. Currently in Europe there are trained cancer consultants, or cancer consultants in training, in Germany, Austria, France, Holland, Slovenia, and in Spain. Those interested in English language training can register for the 2008 course now.

Course 2009: 19. - 22. November
