Since the early twentieth century, cancer rates have surged, now affecting nearly 50 percent of the American population. Conventional treatments like chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation continue to dominate, despite research indicating that 95 percent of cancer cases are linked to diet and lifestyle. This innovative, metabolic-focused nutrition protocol provides a solution. Naturopathic oncologist and cancer survivor Dr. Nasha Winters, alongside nutrition therapist Jess Higgins Kelley, identifies ten key elements of a person's "terrain," essential for preventing and managing cancer. These elements—epigenetics, the microbiome, the immune system, toxin exposures, and blood sugar balance—are explored in relation to cancer, accompanied by a researched, non-toxic nutrition prescription. The metabolic theory, introduced by Nobel laureate Otto Warburg in 1931, posits that cancer thrives on high carbohydrate diets rather than "bad" genetics. This theory is gaining traction due to evidence showing improved outcomes when cancer cells are deprived of glucose. Central to this approach is the ketogenic diet, which utilizes ketones as fuel. Winters and Kelley also highlight the anticancer potential of phytonutrients from low-glycemic foods. Their optimized diet excludes grains, legumes, sugar, and synthetic ingredients, focusing instead on whole, organic, and fermented foods. Additionally, they incorporate harm-reductive herbal therapies a

Mistletoe therapy is becoming more recognised as a viable treatment for cancer. The mistletoe plant contains several compounds including lectins which improve immune defences and can decrease the negative effects of cancer treatments. As a therapy, mistletoe represents a rediscovery of ancient wisdom and shows us how the science of modern medicine might expand its reach and reconnect with a more human-centred medicine. This book condenses the information shared at a three-day practitioner training course hosted by the Physicians' Association for Anthroposophic Medicine, highlighting several key lectures. This book serves as a bridge between conventional oncology and the development of Integrative Medicine as an effective path in the treatment of cancer. This book is a valuable resource for medical practitioners who want to expand cancer treatment options for their patients, as well as informative background reading for anyone interested in alternative medicine.

"Over half of the world's population is afflicted with some form of chronic or degenerative illness. Heart disease, autoimmune disease, diabetes, neurological conditions, cancer, Lyme disease--the list goes on. The conventional, allopathic, treat-the-symptom-with-pharmaceutical-drugs model is rapidly falling out of favor as patients are searching for nontoxic, advanced prevention and healing modalities that actually work. Bioregulatory Medicine introduces a model that has proven effective for decades in other more forward-thinking developed countries, including Switzerland and Germany. Our bodies have many bioregulating systems, including the cardiovascular, digestive, neurological, respiratory, endocrine, and so on. Bioregulatory medicine is a comprehensive and holistic approach to health that advocates the use of natural healing methods to support and restore the body's intrinsic self-regulating and self-healing mechanisms, as opposed to simply treating symptoms with integrative therapies. Bioregulatory medicine is about discovering the root cause of disease and takes into account the entire person from a genetic, epigenetic, metabolic, energetic, and emotional point of view. So while patients may have the same disease or prognosis, the manifestation of illness is entirely bioindividual and must be treated and prevented on an individual level. Bioregulatory Medicine addresses the four pillars of health--drainage and detox, diet, mind-body medicine, and oral health--using a sophisticated synthesis of the very best natural medicine with modern advances in technology. In addition to identifying the cause of disease, bioregulatory medicine promotes disease prevention and early intervention of illness through noninvasive diagnostics and treatments, and incorporates the use of over 100 different non-toxic diagnostics and treatments from around the world. Forward-thinking patients and integrative practitioners will find Bioregulatory Medicine invaluable as they seek to deepen their understanding of the body's many regulating systems and innate ability to heal itself."--Amazon.com
