Natural Medicine for Breast Cancer (Natural Medicine Series)
by Ron Falcone
Synopsis
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.
