Dr. Keith Block is at the global vanguard of innovative cancer care. As
medical director of the Block Center for Integrative Cancer Treatment
in Evanston, Illinois, he has treated thousands of patients who have
lived long, full lives beyond their original prognoses. Now he has
distilled almost thirty years of experience into the first book that
gives patients a systematic, research-based plan for developing the
physical and emotional vitality they need to meet the demands of
treatment and recovery.
Based on a profound understanding of how body and mind can work
together to defeat disease, this groundbreaking book offers:
- Innovative approaches to conventional treatments, such as
"chronotherapy" -- chemotherapy timed to patients' unique circadian
rhythms for enhanced effectiveness and reduced toxicity
- Dietary choices that make the biochemical environment hostile to
cancer growth and recurrence, and strengthen the immune system's
ability to attack remaining cancer cells
- Precise supplement protocols to tame treatment side effects,
relieve disease-related symptoms, and modify processes like
inflammation and glycemia that can fuel cancer if left untreated
- A new paradigm for exercise and stress reduction that restores
your strength, reduces anxiety and depression, and supports the body's
own ability to heal
- A complete program for remission maintenance -- a proactive plan
to make sure the cancer never returns
Also included are "quick-start" maps to help you find the information
you need right now and many case histories that will support and
inspire you. Encouraging, compassionate, and authoritative, Life
Over Cancer is the guide patients everywhere have been waiting for.
