Scientific research shows that complementary therapies based on healthy dietary and lifestyle factors can optimize cancer treatment and have a positive impact on quality of life and prognosis. They are more than supplementary, they are an essential part of the treatment.
In the basic book “Full steam ahead against cancer. What you can do to aid your own recovery” introduces patients to these methods, so that they can actively contribute to their recovery.
Doctors, as practitioners, are the appropriate people to advise and guide patients in the use of supportive therapies.
“Full steam ahead against cancer. Addendum for doctors and care providers” elaborates on the impact of nutritional supplements on conventional treatment. It bundles scientifically substantiated information about the mechanisms of action of certain nutrients and possible interactions with chemotherapy, radiation or immunotherapy. It also offers practical guidelines for the use of supplements before, during and/or after treatment.
With the knowledge in this booklet, the treatment can be optimized together with the patient in a targeted manner to increase the chance of recovery.
