Cancer Overwhelm?

Do these statements resonate with you?
- You are frustrated when your oncologist says “Diet doesn’t matter,” or “Fasting is dangerous.” Because you are aware of the increasing amount of high-quality research demonstrating the effect of diet, exercise, sleep, and stress control on cancer survival.
- You have run across research on adaptive therapy, metronomic therapy, or mathematically-informed dosing protocols, but are having trouble finding an oncologist who has heard of these.
- You have been told your condition is “incurable.” But you know the peer-reviewed medical literature contains the case reports of people who have overcome similar terrible diagnoses. Your oncologist, however, hasn’t heard of these cases.
- You have been told your condition is “incurable, but treatable.” But you are having trouble actually finding anyone who is “living with” cancer indefinitely, and in good health, the way people live with diabetes or high blood pressure.
- You are interested in the skillful use of repurposed drugs that may have a role in some cancer treatment protocols, but feel overwhelmed by the number of pills such protocols demand.
- Your oncologist is unable or unwilling to help you evaluate the evidence pro and con for any complementary and alternative cancer treatment you may be considering, including fasting, the ketogenic diet, vegetarianism, raw vegan diets, juicing, hyperthermia, supplements, herbs, hyperbaric oxygen, stress management, and various anti-cancer diets, for instance, the Gerson and Budwig protocols.
- You are wary of the one-size-fits-all cancer treatment protocols many physicians (both standard and alternative) now download from the internet.
- You want your oncologist to delve deeply into your case, to seek out the latest research, including results not yet published, to perform advanced testing if called for, and to present you with all reasonable options for treatment.
- You demand evidence of effectiveness and safety before embarking on any treatment, whether conventional chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, or “natural cancer therapy.”
- You expect your oncologist to engage with you about articles, ideas, or treatments you’re interested in, but your doctor seems too rushed to do this.
- You understand that unless you live in a very large urban center, the ideal treatment for your cancer may not be available in your community, and you are willing to travel, if necessary, to obtain the best care from world-class experts in your condition.
