Here's a book for others that want an option. Good information, easy to read and understand. You can get more information if you want in your search for a better choice.

This book contained a lot of information and it was delivered in a digestible way.

There are recipes and extensive resources available. The author provides information for the patient as well as the practitioner and that feels like something many patrons will enjoy reading.

*arc netgalley review

A very well researched, written book. I walked away more informed than I began. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who want to look into this concept to fight this illness.

a very informative look into other options for cancer treatment and symptom management. Definitely worth the read for anyone with cancer or a caregiver for someone with cancer.

A Must Have

Cancer is one of those deadly diseases, which one dreads being told that they or a love one has. In this book, Chanchal Cabrera has outlined it into two parts:
1. Holistic Strategies for Patients and Caregivers
2. For the Practitioner and Herbal Prescriber

The first part of the book discusses healthy lifestyle choices and how to maximize general health, strength, resilience, and resistance measures in your life using herbs and targeted nutrition. Preparation and recovery from surgery, optimizing chemotherapy, managing pain, and the author provides a wide variety of herbs used in cancer care.

The second part of this book is for practitioners, it describes how to formulate with herbs, how to use the cytotoxic herbs, how to use herbs with chemotherapy, targeted nutrition for specific purposes, and case studies from his clinic.

The author defines holistic cancer care as a patient-centered, evidence-informed field of cancer care that utilizes mind and body practices, natural products, and/ or lifestyle modifications from different traditions, alongside conventional cancer treatments. He further states that integrative oncology aims to optimize health, quality of life, and clinical outcomes across the cancer care continuum and to empower people to prevent cancer and become active participants before, during, and beyond cancer treatment.

This book is a woman's bible for the care before being told she has cancer, possible treatment of various methods, and post care after surgery, if performed. The author, also, discusses self care for the patient and the family by recommending and providing many herbal remedies and recipes.

The author provides recipes, formulas, and extensive resources for finding practitioners and products and a detailed glossary.

This book is intended for the practitioner or the healthcare professional who wants to integrate herbal medicines into their clinical competencies. Additionally, it is for anyone, who have been or is currently, unfortunately, experiencing any form of cancer and who may be in search of various treatments and options for natural approaches to cancer. Highly recommend.

I have lost several family members (dad, grandmother and grandfather) along with several friends. So I was very very interested in this book. I thought the book was very informative and I think is helpful. I have a friend currently going through a battle with cancer and hasn't started treatment yet so I am going to be passing this information on to her.
