[cancercured] Re: Need Input

Karen -

Ideally it would be great to have an oncologist and a good
nutritionist working together with you. If that's not an option, there
are 2 great books that address this and have specific info on which
supplements/herbs work well with and support you while doing
chemo/radiation.

Beating Cancer with Nutrition - Patrick Quillan
Herbal Medicine, Healing and Cancer - Donald Yance

Patrick Q. has a site, www.nutritioncancer.com - go to this site and
click on the chemo and radiation tab at the left. It will let you
download a chapter (free) from his site. Read through it, see if you
like it. Both books address which supplements are supportive for chemo.

There are lots of books out there, as well as tons of good information
from a number of authors on the internet to help you. There are many,
many testimonials from others who are doing the approach as you are
choosing to, and they've been very successful.

Also, Google "nutrition supplements chemo" - lots of good, solid
information for you here too. You could maybe call Cancer Treatment
Centers of America and ask them for good books, websites, etc. I think
they do a combination of traditional/alternative as well.

If you know in your heart this is the best decision for YOU, stay as
focused on the course as you can, and move forward without fear. The
more testimonies you find of others doing the same as you, the more at
peace you'll be with your decision. Do not let others' fears sway you
no matter what path you decide.
