A Guide to Personalized Care. Patients face a real dilemma when selecting among so many treatments with potentially irreversible consquences. Studies show that treatment choices based on partial information often lead to regret.
When initally diagnosed with prostate cancer, the first step is to seek information. Patients struggle to pinpoint correct knowledge amidst a deluge of data overload. The Paradox of Choice can be diminished by staging the cancer accurately. The pathway leading out of this confusion is to know your Stage of Blue. With a short, self-administered prostate cancer staging quiz, Key directs readers to targeted information that is stage-specific.
This book directs patients to understand options and educate them about treatments specific for their stage of prostate cancer.
A short STAGING QUIZ directs patients to their correct stage and which of the seven sections of the book to read.
The book is divided into seven sections written by experts in prostate cancer. Five of the sections cover the FIVE STAGES OF BLUE.
The average reader will only need to read three sections: Section I, which covers PSA, Gleason score and body scans, Section VII, which covers lifestyle and general health and only one of the additional sections--one that is related to that patient's prostate cancer stage.
Written by 30 leading experts and edited by a prostate oncologist, Key is a welcome antidote for an industry dominated by surgeons. This book helps patients and doctors work together on a level playing field to intelligently discuss the latest options.
About the Book If you love your stricken one, this is your Bible. said Denzel Koh of Brisbane, Australia after he healed his daughter's cancer using the information in a previous edition of this book. A cancer diagnosis always causes fear. All of us have seen relatives and friends destroyed by conventional cancer treatment. Now, thanks to books like this one and the Internet, you can quickly learn what you need to know. You can heal the cancer using natural, non-toxic substances that work. What you need is a guide to cut through the overwhelming jungle of information. This book provides that guide. The information in it has been refined over twelve years using feedback from real cancer survivors about what worked for them. Bill Henderson, one of the authors, has counseled about 4,000 cancer patients by phone and video in 64 countries. At least 3,000 of them have recovered using his information. He is not a medical professional. He is a reporter furnishing you with information that consists of what he would do if he were you or your loved one. His coaching is available to you after you have read this book, if you need it. The co-author is Dr. Carlos Garcia, a formally trained M.D. who has broken out of that mold and trained himself to be a well-informed holistic physician. His Utopia Wellness clinic in Oldsmar, Florida regularly helps Stage IV cancer patients heal themselves. Bill Henderson has published 165 free newsletters on natural cancer treatment to 38,000 subscribers all over the world, starting in 1999. The information in these newsletters has now been incorporated into this, his third book. The book is up-to-date, specific and accurate. Bill and Dr. Garcia inform you of over 140 web sites and dozens of other books and newsletters you can use to expand your knowledge of natural cancer treatment. The self-treatments they recommend are harmless enough that you can start them immediately, without more research, if you like. They do not interfere with conventional cancer therapy, if that is your choice. In fact, they offset most of the side effects of that treatment. Cancer is not a disease, says Bill. It is a reaction to what your body has experienced. Reverse those causes and the cancer goes away. Continue what you did to reverse it and it stays away. Bill explains that there are four common characteristics of all cancers. These have been known since the 1920's: 1. Low oxygen uptake by the cells. 2. A weak immune system. 3. Toxins -- usually caused by diet and dental work. 4. Acidity -- again, usually caused by diet, as well as stress and dental work. Bill Henderson's and Dr. Garcia's recommended regimen tracks with the knowledge for which Otto Warburg, a famous German doctor and researcher, won a Nobel Prize in 1931. He described the cancer cell and stressed the need to reverse the above four characteristics of the cancer in order to heal it. None of these are addressed by conventional cancer treatment. Bill's mission to help cancer patients heal started with his experience with his former wife, Marjorie. Her ovarian cancer was treated with conventional cancer treatment from 1990 to 1994, when she died. Bill is convinced that the treatment killed her. He wants to help as many people as possible avoid her fate. Dr. Garcia's mission is to help cancer patients heal themselves starting in a controlled clinical environment and continuing at home. He has been doing this successfully for 15 years.
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER--Discover the nine factors that can lead to a spontaneous remission from cancer--even after conventional medicine has failed
While getting her Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkley, Dr. Kelly A. Turner, a researcher, lecturer, and counselor in integrative oncology, was shocked to discover that no one was studying episodes of radical (or unexpected) remission--when people recover against all odds without the help of conventional medicine, or after conventional medicine has failed and alternative methods of healing are implemented.
She was so fascinated by this kind of remission that she embarked on a ten-month trip around the world, traveling to ten different countries to interview fifty holistic healers and twenty radical remission cancer survivors about their healing practices and techniques. Her research continued by interviewing over 100 Radical Remission survivors and studying over 1,000 of these cases. Her evidence presents nine common themes that she believes may help even terminal patients turn their lives around.
These life-altering themes surround:
- Embracing changes in your diet to reclaim control of your health, including the use of herbs and supplements
- Learning to tune in to your intuition for emotional regulation, expression, and mental clarity
- Instinctively increasing positive emotions and uncovering the healing power of community and social support systems
- Deepening your spiritual connection to find the deepest meaning of your life--one unequivocally worth fighting for
These diverse and mesmerizing stories prove that even when medical systems tell us there is nothing left to do, there is still a beacon of hope out there. Racial Remission compassionately guides readers through an actionable system to attaining the seemingly impossible: a healthy, healing future and an unstoppable human spirit.
A personal and deeply moving exploration of the power of the human spirit and innate wisdom of the body to overcome catastrophic illness.--Andrew Weil, M.D.
Keto for Cancer brings clarity to this emerging science and makes implementation of this information straightforward and uncomplicated.--David Perlmutter, New York Times bestselling author
This book addresses every question or concern that cancer patients might have in using a ketogenic metabolic strategy for managing their cancer.--Thomas Seyfried, PhD
THE comprehensive guide for patients and practitioners from a foremost authority in the emerging field of metabolic therapies for cancer.
Although evidence supporting the benefits of ketogenic diet therapies continues to mount, there is little to guide those who wish to adopt this diet as a metabolic therapy for cancer. Keto for Cancer fills this need. Nutritionist Miriam Kalamian has written the book to lay out comprehensive guidelines that specifically address the many challenges associated with cancer, and particularly the deep nutritional overhaul involved with the ketogenic diet.
Kalamian, a leading voice in the keto movement, is driven by passion from her own experience in using the ketogenic diet for her young son. Her book addresses the nuts and bolts of adopting the diet, from deciding whether keto is the right choice to developing a personal plan for smoothly navigating the keto lifestyle. It is invaluable for both beginners and seasoned users of the ketogenic diet, as well as for health-care professionals who need a toolkit to implement this targeted metabolic therapy.
The book guides readers to a deeper understanding of the therapeutic potential of the ketogenic diet--which extends well beyond simply starving cancer--emphasizing the powerful impact the diet has on the metabolism of cancer cells.
Nutritional nuances and meal templates and tracking tools are explored in sections such as:
Kalamian also discusses important issues such as self-advocacy empowering readers by offering tips on how to critically examine cancer-care options and then incorporate what resonates into a truly personalized treatment plan.
Read this important book to learn how cancer is an environmental, metabolic disease with many small causes that stack up--and what you can do to prevent or even reverse it.--Dave Asprey, New York Times bestselling author of The Bulletproof Diet
The Optimal Terrain Ten Protocol to Reboot Cellular Health!
The Metabolic Approach to Cancer offers an innovative, metabolic-focused nutrition protocol that works. Naturopathic, integrative oncologist and cancer survivor Dr. Nasha Winters and nutrition therapist Jess Higgins Kelley have identified the ten key elements of a person's terrain (think of it as a topographical map of our body) that are crucial to preventing and managing cancer. Each of the terrain ten elements--including epigenetics, the microbiome, the immune system, toxin exposures, and blood sugar balance--is illuminated as it relates to the cancer process, then given a heavily researched and tested, non-toxic and metabolic, focused nutrition prescription.
The ketogenic diet--which relies on the body's production of ketones as fuel--is the centerpiece of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer. Further, Winters and Kelley explain how to harness the anticancer potential of phytonutrients abundant in low-glycemic plant and animal foods to address the 10 hallmarks of cancer--an approach Western medicine does with drug-based therapies.
The optimized, genetically-tuned diet shuns:
The optimized, genetically-tuned diet emphasizes:
Other components of their approach include harm-reductive herbal therapies like mistletoe (considered the original immunotherapy and common in European cancer care centers) and cannabinoids (which shrink tumors and increase quality of life, yet are illegal in more than half of the United States). Through addressing the ten root causes of cancer and approaching the disease from a nutrition-focused standpoint, we can slow cancer's endemic spread and live optimized lives.
The Metabolic Approach to Cancer is a powerhouse of detailed information on how to prevent, manage, and treat cancer. . . . It is written in an intimate conversation style that comes from decades of deep personal experience, research, and genuine passion.--Travis Christofferson, author of Tripping over the Truth
A compassionate guide to the cancer journey, from screening and prevention to diagnosis and recovery.
A cancer diagnosis can change our lives and the lives of our loved ones in an instant. It leaves us seeking answers to myriad questions and searching for hope. In The Cancer Journey, Dr. Chadi Nabhan demystifies this complex disease and offers a compassionate guide to understanding your diagnosis and treatment options.
With decades of experience treating oncology patients, Dr. Nabhan answers your essential questions about cancer, including how it develops, how it is diagnosed, how it is treated, and how to prevent it from returning. He provides suggestions for how readers can prepare for their first visit to a cancer specialist, what questions to ask the health care team, and insider tips for getting second opinions and clinical trials. This comprehensive guide covers screening, survivorship, the art of communication, complementary and integrative medicines, and the future of cancer care. For those who may be at risk or are newly diagnosed, for family members and friends seeking guidance to help their loved ones, and for non-specialist providers seeking to educate their patients, The Cancer Journey is your one-stop-shop for all the information you need.
In this expanded edition of Cancer Is Not a Disease, Andreas Moritz proves the point that cancer is the physical symptom that reflects our body's final attempt to deal with life-threatening cell congestion and toxins. He claims that removing the underlying conditions that force the body to produce cancerous cells setsthe preconditions for complete healing of our body, mind and emotions.
This book confronts you with a radically new understanding of cancer - one that revolutionizes the current cancer model. On average, today's conventional treatments of killing, cutting out or burning cancerous cells offer most patients a remission rate of a mere 7 percent, and the majority of these survivors are cured for no more than just five years. Prominent cancer researchers have suggested that individuals may, in fact, fare better undergoing no conventional treatment. Any published success figures in cancer survival statistics are offset by equal or better outcomes among those receiving no treatment at all. More people are killed by cancer treatments than are saved by them.
Cancer Is Not a Disease shows you why traditional cancer treatments and even cancer diagnoses are often fatal, what actually causes cancer, and how you can remove the obstacles that prevent the body from healing itself. Cancer is not an attempt on your life; on the contrary, this terrible disease is the body's final, desperate effort to save your life. Unless we change our perception of what cancer really is, it will continue to threaten the life of nearly 1 out of every 2 people. This book opens a door for those who wish to turn feelings of victimhood into empowerment and self-mastery, and disease into health.

Updated 2023; Family caregivers are the unsung heroes of the life-saving drama that's triggered by a cancer diagnosis. Nearly three quarters of American households will find themselves caring for a cancer patient at one point in their lives. This book is the first to capture their thoughts, feelings, and insights on a large scale. It is based on 101 formal interviews with non-professional caregivers (some of whom are cancer survivors themselves), covering 122 patients in 19 states and Canada who ranged in age from 2 to 92 and faced 40 different cancer diagnoses. Practical lessons drawn from caregivers' experiences are intermingled with their own words to forge a compelling narrative intended to help both patients and their family caregivers to understand and cope with the full range of issues they should anticipate as they fight the battle of their lives.
The lessons provide building blocks on which you can rely as you participate in decision-making and plan for the future. You will learn about cancer caregiver considerations in:
Getting a clear cancer diagnosis
Gathering information about the cancer diagnosis
Choosing cancer treatment partners
Making cancer treatment decisions (including complementary and
alternative treatments and palliative care)
Getting inside the cancer caregiving role (including questions to ask on doctor visits)
Accessing available cancer information and treatment resources (including clinical trials)
Managing cancer-related financial and legal issues
Seeking normalcy during cancer treatment
Confronting cancer-related issues facing families with children
(children in a household with cancer, and children as patients)
Managing cancer caregiver emotions and health
Nearing life's end from cancer
Preparing for the aftermath (including how cancer caregivers heal)
More and more people who have been diagnosed with cancer or related illnesses embrace alternative medicines, and seek out holistic practitioners who use vitamins, herbs, nutrition, homeopathy, and acupuncture to treat the disease. This long-awaited book by Donald Yance--one of the nation's most respected herbalists--is a major contribution to the literature of natural healing and cancer.
