“It is time to provide our patients the education and clinical tools necessary to support an anticancer lifestyle to help them remain cancer free and to improve clinical outcomes, quality of life, and symptom control for those with cancer and cancer survivors. We need to empower people to become active participants in their own health. We need to show them how to best care for themselves; not only because they will feel better if they get involved, but because it’s good science and good medicine.”
– Dr. David Servan-Schreiber, author of Anticancer: A New Way of Life
Modern oncology treatment focuses on destroying cancer cells. This is an essential aspect of therapy, but there’s substantial evidence that truly effective cancer care should simultaneously foster an internal anticancer “terrain” to strengthen the body’s natural defenses against cancer. This is the goal of the Anticancer Lifestyle Program: a truly integrated, evidence-based lifestyle transformation for cancer survivors. For a quick overview of the program, please see this 5-minute Q and A. Read on to find out how you can participate in the program or bring it to a facility near you.
