Synopsis

Very few diagnoses shock patients as much a being told that they have cancer, a modern pandemic around the world. Cancer is a multifactorial disease that requires a multifactorial treatment plan: medical, nutritional and lifestyle changes as well as emotional, social and spiritual support. An effective approach for cancer must be truly integrated. This book shows that optimum nutrition and scientific dietary supplementation should be part of every cancer treatment. Nutrition is not only preventive - it, also, has powerful therapeutic potential. Orthomolecular medicine restores the optimum environment in the body for fighting cancer by correcting imbalances or deficiencies. Nutrition-based strategies are nontoxic and can provide substantial benefits, yet they are frequently ignored because of misinformation and ignorance, even among health professionals. What would we do if we had cancer? We'd follow the programme in this book: · Anti-cancer dietary strategies · Supplementation to optimise the body's immune defenses · Detoxification · Exercise · Relaxation · Positive psychological/spiritual empowerment This is not your average book about cancer. We do not come to this subject simply as practitioners - we have had personal experiences with this potentially devastating disease.
