Filled with suggested doses of herbs, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other proven natural treatments for alleviating fatigue, loss of appetite, digestive problems, nausea, and liver toxicity related to breast cancer treatment,
Natural Medicine for Breast Cancer will be a welcome addition to the cancer patient's library. While a few of the herbs included, such as pokeweed, should be avoided by women who are pregnant, most are inexpensive, easy to find, and free of adverse side effects.
The book includes:
- How to make herbal decoctions, tinctures, and infusions
- An explanation of the mind-body connection and how it can be used to boost immunity
- Listings of common chemotherapy drugs and natural remedies for fighting their side effects
- Vitamin and mineral supplements to take prior to and following surgery
The mind-body section, which includes information on guided imagery, self- hypnosis, prayer, psychoneuroimmunology, and the controversial subject of the relationship between emotions and cancer, is vital reading for all patients who are looking for ways to avoid recurrences. Author Ron Falcone, who also wrote The Complete Guide to Alternative Cancer Therapies, also includes contact information for naturopathic healing organizations and clinics that incorporate mind-body techniques.
