A comprehensive overview of Holistic Cancer Care
You've got the diagnosis of cancer or someone you care about has received this devastating news.
Like an animal stuck before headlamps the experience can be overwhelming. The news brings with it so much heartache, lots of questions and so few reliable places to get the answers you need. This platform has been designed to give you as much help as possible in answering the questions you may have and guide you through the first steps on your cancer journey. If you are coming to the site with a late stage diagnosis there is also a section specifically tailored to palliative medicine.
This platform will give information on orthodox approaches to cancer with an understanding of the pro's and con's. It will also look at alternatives that can support orthodox treatment, make them more effective, or that can be used instead of orthodox medicine. Here, we will explore adjuncts to surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. We will answer questions about herb and supplement safety, look at how they can help orthodox treatments be more effective in prolonging the quality and longevity of your life whilst also helping to limit the adverse side effects that are so common with treatments.
Like Macmillan Cancer Information and support or Cancer Research, this aims to provide you with information. What sets this site apart is that it specifically looks at Holistic Oncology with alternative and complementary therapies. This platform looks at both scientific research and thousands of years of history to give you back the power in discerning the right path for you. It will inform you of orthodox care but and explain why there may be a nervousness from your oncologist about the use of herbs or supplements but also provide an impressive list of food supplements, nutritional supplements and herbal remedies that may be able to support you or your loved one on their cancer journey.
The course offers information on the best natural treatments and foods that are anti-cancer and work on biochemical pathways to reduce the risk of metastasis and encourage apoptosis. It will look at alternative cancer treatments and also at palliative support. Understanding these are almost always crucial to getting your oncologist on board!
Ultimately, from this course you should garner enough information and be able to form an action plan to help you make the right choices for you, how to communicate that to others and ensure that you are treated as an individual and help you take back control when all around you seems to overwhelm.
In addition to the videos there are also overviews of protocols often implemented for the most common sorts of cancer.

Garreth, Thank you so much for doing this. I found you quite late on in my diagnosis as everywhere else was shut down. It is useful to know that the first "No, No" to herbs was from my oncologist but with nothing to back it up. It did make me extra cautious though. Remember, they have fear on their side. So having someone like yourself who knows about herbs and cancer is invaluable. It is never too late to contact Garreth.
