The Metabolic Approach to Cancer: Integrating Deep Nutrition, the Ketogenic Diet, and Nontoxic Bio-Individualized Therapies

I've been on a healing journey with breast cancer for awhile now. I am one of many YOUNG women in a trend of cancer.I have assembled my team using an integrative approach and tools from both conventional and alternative therapies. I have found the most hope, support and LIFE, within my naturopathic, functional and integrative doctor offices - which has made all the difference. Our bodies are ONE being - they are not compartmentalized. Cancer is a process and apart of a larger terrain. Cancer didn't just happen and it isn't going to heal fully without looking at the whole terrain that created the process that allowed it to grow in the first place.I found this book and Dr Winters and Jessica's work a year and half into my journey. I have searched wildly for a root cause for my body's terrain issues because I knew I had to heal the root and reverse the cancering process to remain well.This book and this work have been pivotal in my healing journey. It has changed the trajectory and completely solidified the intuitive knowing that I have always had - that the body has to heal as a whole. I knew I needed to do more than just kill cancer. If cancer is a "process" - then we have some power in that space to reverse the "process". In that one statement - rests a mountain of hope and possibilities.I completed the terrain 10 questions and identified my weaknesses and started the process. I overhauled some thinking in regard to the ketogenic diet. The way keto is used therapeutically with this approach is SO VERY different from the mainstream keto diets. This is important to understand. The way food and diet is approached in this book - is clean, nutrient dense, and therapeutic. So put down your preconceived notions about what you "thought" you knew and read on and learn.If you or someone has cancer - please read this book. If you are a human breathing - please read this book. We could turn the tsunami of the cancer trends around if people would look at their terrain BEFORE their body is in the full cancering process. We all have cancer in our bodies - but what we do and how we live will influence if we are cancering or NOT cancering within our terrain. Let that sink in a bit.This book is easy to read and implement. It is not just well researched, but LIVED by Dr Winters who has been in the healing trenches herself for over 25 years after receiving a stage 4 diagnoses at 19. She hasn't just been a clinician, she has been walking her own healing and stopping her own cancering process. There is such power and hope there.Both authors bring a wealth of rich knowledge from clinical application and real life experience. This book is a game changer. A HEALING PATH changer. It puts pieces together so you can address the underlying terrain and begin repairing what needs to be repaired. It opens up a dialogue between you and your body and allows you to advocate for yourself on one of the hardest journeys many of us will walk. The book is dripping with hope and that - in and of itself - is a vital therapy!This approach has shifted my healing approach and strategy and given me tools that had been missing.On every healing journey there are defining moments - the kind that draw a line in the sand and change everything into a "before and after". This book and this work and approach - has been one of those moments for me.Buy several copies and read and implement for yourself and family first. Then pass them out to anyone you care about. And to those in the healing trenches with cancer. We have to shift the cancer tends! And it starts with taking care of our terrain!! Cancer doesn't just happen, it's a process and we CAN intervene in the process! I am living proof of that!Fingers crossed this will come out in a audible version soon :-)

This is one of the BEST books you can get if you get cancer and you are not adverse to reading all you can to survive! Take CONTROL of you own health and do it NOW!This book is fairly technical in parts, but is based on evidence and research (and it is noted where it is not funded by big pharma, which has a financial incentive to only do certain things in the cancer area!)There is much here that goes beyond cancer and for general health and other things to help people be aware of what is known about the impact of things on your health and healing. But you will need to spend some time absorbing it all.In my library it is one of the top 5 books that have helped me (yes, the doctors told me I would die in 2017 and I did chemo, radiation and surgery, but refused to do any more! Doctors do not like it when you try to take control of your own health!). It is 2023....I am not NED, but I am still alive and thankful that I do not always listen to doctors (I try to listen to those who are interested in my input....most are not!). Its YOUR body, YOUR decision!The author of this book places the emphasis on helping you learn about nuitrition and what impact some items have on your health. It is facinating some of the things you will learn about that may provide health benefits. Inflammation, sugar, stress, hormones and other things that all need to be examined and considered when fighting things such as cancer and trying to be healthy.Consider this: 1 in 2 people will get cancer in the US. In some countries more and some less. Much depends on their approach to medicine, nuitrition and general health. Expecially if they want to survive.Consider this:Doctors do not get any course work in nuitrition in medical schoolDoctors have a financial incentive to only do one of three things for you: surgery, chemo/trials, radiation.If you get well, there is no more money in it for the doctors.Winters (the author) has given us more tools to help in our fight for life and I am deeply thankful to her work in this area. Its worth the money if you get cancer!I highly recommend!
