Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The integrative approach to cancer has become increasingly popular, and is being used by millions of people around the country. It is important to treat patients like family members, which is why we use the terms patient and person interchangeably. #2 The first case we're going to look at is that of a 84-year-old woman who was diagnosed with metastatic abdominal cancer. Her oncologist advised her to avoid chemotherapy or surgery, but she was not willing to simply wait to die. She grew her own food, ate healthily, and didn't smoke or drink alcohol. #3 Rose was treated with high-dose intravenous vitamin C, and after the first week of treatment, she felt an increase in her energy levels. By week three, she could eat without pain and eat more than before. By the fifth week, her digestion problems had gone away. #4 The human papilloma virus, which caused the cancer in this case, can be treated with a series of radiation treatments and chemotherapy. The holistic therapies helped to stabilize Barry's weight and energy levels, and he was able to avoid having a surgically implanted feeding tube inserted into his abdomen.
