Whole-body Workbook for Cancer

Description

It seems a new study comes out every day linking common foods and habits to increased cancer risk, but many of the causes of cancers and treatments remain a mystery to practitioners of traditional medicine. It isn't surprising, then, that more and more of the hundreds of thousands of people with cancer have turned to natural medicine and alternative treatments to find new ways to boost their immune systems. "The Whole-Body Workbook for Cancer" reviews both conventional and alternative treatment options to offer readers a more comprehensive, integrative view of cancer treatment. Readers will create a longevity strategy of seven immune-boosting components: detoxification, diet, supplements, lifestyle changes, exercise, emotional healing, and psychospiritual healing. Individual sections address the most common types of cancer and offer remedies for the relief of symptoms associated with cancer and cancer treatments such as chemotherapy.

Dan Kenner, Ph.D., L.Ac., is a consultant in alternative health care with more than thirty years of clinical experience in Chinese, Japanese, and naturopathic medicine. He has consulted with cancer patients for more than twenty-five years on immune restoration and finding resources for longevity and well-being. Kenner trained and completed internships in Japan and is licensed to practice oriental medicine both in Japan and the United States. He is on the board of governors of the National Health Federation and consults with clinics and companies on various aspects of alternative health care.
