This expansive text details over 30 years in cancer care experienced by author Keith I. Block, MD, a world-renowned integrative oncology expert. Written in a user friendly tone accessible to both patients and practitioners, this book presents the Block Method, a comprehensive technique developed by Dr. Block to treat cancer patients at many different treatment points, including recently diagnosed, currently in treatment, and post-treatment stages. With an integrative focus, Dr. Block discusses cancer in a holistic way, covering topics such as assembling a support team, diet and nutritional plans, herbal therapies, fitness, mind-body connection, oxidation, glycemia, and more. Dr. Block also discusses aspects of mainstream cancer care, such as radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery, while also providing information on complementary support programs. Each section of Life Over Cancer is supported by significant research, conducted by both Dr. Block himself and additional experts in oncology, nutrition, botanicals, exercise, and more.
