Synopsis

According to oncologist Dr. Barry Boyd controlling weight becoming active and reducing stress are not simply nuances of basic well-being; they are absolutely necessary for the successful treatment of cancer.

In THE CANCER RECOVERY PLAN Dr. Boyd presents his proven integrative program for maximizing the effectiveness of cancer treatment.
