Description

Sample Book Insights:
#1 The integrative approach to cancer has become increasingly popular, and is being used by millions of people around the country. It is important to treat patients like family members, which is why we use the terms patient and person interchangeably.
#2 The first case we’re going to look at is that of a 84-year-old woman who was diagnosed with metastatic abdominal cancer. Her oncologist advised her to avoid chemotherapy or surgery, but she was not willing to simply wait to die. She grew her own food, ate healthily, and didn’t smoke or drink alcohol.
#3 Rose was treated with high-dose intravenous vitamin C, and after the first week of treatment, she felt an increase in her energy levels. By week three, she could eat without pain and eat more than before. By the fifth week, her digestion problems had gone away.
#4 The human papilloma virus, which caused the cancer in this case, can be treated with a series of radiation treatments and chemotherapy. The holistic therapies helped to stabilize Barry’s weight and energy levels, and he was able to avoid having a surgically implanted feeding tube inserted into his abdomen.

#1

The integrative approach to cancer has become increasingly popular, and is being used by millions of people around the country. It is important to treat patients like family members, which is why we use the terms patient and person interchangeably.

#2

The first case we’re going to look at is that of a 84-year-old woman who was diagnosed with metastatic abdominal cancer. Her oncologist advised her to avoid chemotherapy or surgery, but she was not willing to simply wait to die. She grew her own food, ate healthily, and didn’t smoke or drink alcohol.

#3

Rose was treated with high-dose intravenous vitamin C, and after the first week of treatment, she felt an increase in her energy levels. By week three, she could eat without pain and eat more than before. By the fifth week, her digestion problems had gone away.

#4

The human papilloma virus, which caused the cancer in this case, can be treated with a series of radiation treatments and chemotherapy. The holistic therapies helped to stabilize Barry’s weight and energy levels, and he was able to avoid having a surgically implanted feeding tube inserted into his abdomen.

#5

Integrative oncology is used with children as well. It was used with a four-year-old girl named Sarah who had a rare type of childhood leukemia. The artemisia plant, which was used in the treatment, has been used as a malaria medicine in many parts of the world.

#6

The remission period for Sarah’s cancer was long, but she died from infections acquired during it. Her parents were grateful for the time they had with her, and were thankful that during her remission she had been able to enjoy her life to the fullest.

#7

A 70-year-old farmer, John, was diagnosed with prostate cancer that had spread to his spine and pelvis. Although John told his oncologists he wasn’t interested in chemotherapy, he did have a goal: to see his grandson graduate from high school.

#8

Dr. Stengler treated 66-year-old Dawn, who had been treated for breast cancer and had undergone chemotherapy. She was in tears after her last treatment, since she was barely able to function due to the side effects of the treatment. Stengler comforted her and assured her that there were natural approaches they could use to reverse her side effects.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The hallmarks of cancer are eight biologic capabilities acquired by incipient cancer cells during the multistep development of human tumors. The hallmarks constitute an organizing principle for rationalizing the complexities of neoplastic disease.

#2

There are multiple theories regarding the initiation of cancer growth, and they all involve some aspect of the genome, cell design, or metabolism. They just happen to be looking at the problem from different vantage points.

#3

The cancer genome is broadly divided into oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Oncogenes are the gas pedal on your car, while tumor suppressor genes are the brake that inhibits tumor growth.

#4

The trophoblastic theory of cancer states that trophoblastic cells, which are involved in the formation of the placenta, may receive a signal that causes them to become cancerous. The cancer stem cell theory states that among all cancerous cells, a few act as stem cells that reproduce themselves and sustain the cancer, much like normal stem cells normally renew and sustain our organs and tissues.

#5

The metabolic theory of cancer is based on the idea that cancer is a disease of deranged cell metabolism. The energy-producing parts of the cell, the mitochondria, are damaged in cancer, which helps drive a different metabolism in a cancer cell versus a normal healthy cell.

#6

The main triggers, fuel, and resistance factors for cancer are found in common cancer risk factors. These include tobacco smoke, alcohol, other carcinogenic chemicals, mycotoxins, and any other outside toxin.

#7

The indoor emissions from the household combustion of coal burning are also a source of chromium. Mineral oils, nickel compounds, and radon are also environmental toxins.

#8

There are many risk factors for cancer, and they include obesity, radiation, and hormones. Other factors that affect the body’s ability to detoxify and maintain optimal immunity include body structure and alignment.

#9

The cancer burden can be reduced through early detection of cancer and management. Many cancers have a high chance of cure if diagnosed early and treated adequately.
Insights from Chapter 3

#1

The definition of cure in oncology is not always that simple, since researchers often use five years or more of being cancer-free as the standard for the definition of cure. Some doctors prefer not to use the term cure, instead referring to the signs and symptoms of their cancer being reduced as remission.

#2

The prognosis of a cancer is the likely outcome or course of the disease. The National Cancer Institute lists several factors that may influence your prognosis, including the type of cancer and where it is in your body, the stage of the cancer, the grade of the cancer cells, and your age and how healthy you were before the cancer.

#3

Survivorship is the transition from active treatment to recovery. In integrative oncology, when a cure is not possible, the goal is to treat the patient as if they have any other chronic disease while extending life and improving quality of life.

#4

Integrative medicine has always focused on a patient’s quality of life for all chronic diseases. In other words, the length of life is more important if there is a high quality of life.

#5

There are many diagnostic tests for cancer, and they all help identify the type of cancer one has, as well as the staging and grading of the cancer. They are not relied upon alone to diagnose cancer.

#6

positron-emission tomography, which is an injection of a radioactive tracer that is picked up more by organs and tissues that have cancer, allows a doctor to see if cancer is present and if it has spread.

#7

There are many tests that can be used to assess cancer, and your integrative physician will help you decide which ones are best for you.
