Synopsis

Combine the Best of Science and the Best of Nature to Combat Cancer
Few events in life are more traumatic than being diagnosed with cancer. But there's good news! Modern medical science has made tremendous strides in developing effective treatments for many cancers. In addition, remarkable studies now indicate that alternative therapies can complement and even enhance traditional cancer treatments. In this empowering book, Dr. Dan Labriola, a nationally renowned cancer-therapy expert, presents a revolutionary program for combining conventional oncology and natural medicine to create formidable cancer treatments that are second to none. Inside, you'll discover how to:
·Create a treatment strategy tailored to your individual needs
·Use drug-nutrient combinations that will work best for you
·Minimize the side effects resulting from conventional treatments
·Select the best health-care provider for you by asking the right questions
·Develop the healing power of the body-mind connection
·And more
And you don't have to choose between conventional or natural medicine. You can get the best of both worlds. This book shows you how.
"Ultimately, the best health care is provided by a collaboration of conventional and natural medicine. Nowhere is this more critical than for those with cancer. This unique, insightful, and extremely valuable resource is absolutely necessary for patients and oncologists who are intent on optimizing care."—Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D., founding president of Bastyr University, coauthor of the bestselling Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine and author of Total Wellness
"Dan Labriola, one of the first naturopathic physicians to be published in a mainstream medical journal, has done a great service to individuals with cancer. His step-by-step advice will show you the right way to combine standard and alternative therapies for the best possible outcome."—Steven Bratman, M.D., medical director, TheNaturalPharmacist.com (TNP.com)
"Dr. Labriola is one of the few physicians in the U.S. who has successfully bridged the conventional and alternative cancer communities. His experience with complementary, natural medicine is vital to cancer patients."—Jonathan Collin, M.D., publisher and editor-in-chief, Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients
