Book Description

076151922X 978-0761519225 January 20, 2000
Combine the Best of Science and the Best of Nature to Combat Cancer
Few events in life are more traumatic than being diagnosed with cancer. But there's good news! Modern medical science has made tremendous strides in developing effective treatments for many cancers. In addition, remarkable studies now indicate that alternative therapies can complement and even enhance traditional cancer treatments. In this empowering book, Dr. Dan Labriola, a nationally renowned cancer-therapy expert, presents a revolutionary program for combining conventional oncology and natural medicine to create formidable cancer treatments that are second to none. Inside, you'll discover how to:
·Create a treatment strategy tailored to your individual needs
·Use drug-nutrient combinations that will work best for you
·Minimize the side effects resulting from conventional treatments
·Select the best health-care provider for you by asking the right questions
·Develop the healing power of the body-mind connection
·And more
And you don't have to choose between conventional or natural medicine. You can get the best of both worlds. This book shows you how.
"Ultimately, the best health care is provided by a collaboration of conventional and natural medicine. Nowhere is this more critical than for those with cancer. This unique, insightful, and extremely valuable resource is absolutely necessary for patients and oncologists who are intent on optimizing care."—Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D., founding president of Bastyr University, coauthor of the bestselling Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine and author of Total Wellness
"Dan Labriola, one of the first naturopathic physicians to be published in a mainstream medical journal, has done a great service to individuals with cancer. His step-by-step advice will show you the right way to combine standard and alternative therapies for the best possible outcome."—Steven Bratman, M.D., medical director, TheNaturalPharmacist.com (TNP.com)
"Dr. Labriola is one of the few physicians in the U.S. who has successfully bridged the conventional and alternative cancer communities. His experience with complementary, natural medicine is vital to cancer patients."—Jonathan Collin, M.D., publisher and editor-in-chief, Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients

5.0 out of 5 stars An Oncologist's Perspective, May 17, 2000
This review is from: Complementary Cancer Therapies: Combining Traditional and Alternative Approaches for the Best Possible Outcome (Paperback)
Thanks to Dr. Labriola for making this difficult subject understandable to cancer patients and their families. I am an oncologist who sees many patients trying to research complementary therapies, prevent complications and maximize quality of life. His readable and well organized book gives the reader tools to make wise decisions, free from divisive rhetoric. He is especially expert at interactions between traditional and alternative therapies. New patients will appreciate his helpful criteria for choosing the right doctors, traditional or alternative. The glossaries are fantastic. For those who are exploring the intersection of conventional cancer medicine and the array of complementary choices, this book is a great starting point. I highly recommend it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Best of science? What science?, July 6, 2002
By 
Skyburial (N-1400 Ski, Ski Norway) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complementary Cancer Therapies: Combining Traditional and Alternative Approaches for the Best Possible Outcome (Paperback)
As an M.D. with over 20 years`experience working with cancer patients, combining complementary, medical and palliative approaches, I ordered this book with great expectations, which were strengthened by the catchphrase "combine the best of science and the best of nature to combat cancer".
Best of science? What science? This book is loaded with strong opinions and assertations, presented as truth, often contradicting findings from recent research on complementary therapies - BUT NOT A SINGLE REFERENCE OR SOURCE QUOTATION in a book of 340 pages claiming to be scientific and authoritative. Hoping to find his sources, I seek his web page. More of hyperbole about the author and the selling of his products, but not a single reference to research - just the repeated claims about how scientific his "breakthrough" work is. There is no feedback column, just loads of opportunity to buy his goods and services. So here is my feedback. I believe that this is precisely the approach that we must avoid if the field of integrated medicine, combining "the best of both worlds" is to advance.
