Synopsis
&“Indispensable . . . Dr. Beine provides a practical primer on integrative cancer therapies for children based on a metabolic framework of understanding the disease. I can&’t recommend [this book] enough.&”—Chris Kresser, MS, LAc, founder of Kresser Institute; New York Times bestselling authorAn invaluable, revolutionary, research-based resource for parents—grounded in nutrition, detoxification, and mental wellbeing, while aiming to reduce suffering and promote long-term recovery.&“Your child has cancer.&”Every day, forty-three American families hear these words, thrusting them headlong into the terrifying and unfamiliar territory of pediatric oncology.In A Parent&’s Guide to Childhood Cancer, pediatric oncology specialist Dagmara Beine guides readers through the most difficult scenario a parent will ever face—a child&’s diagnosis of life-threatening disease—and argues that the greatest tragedy of conventional oncology is its failure to incorporate safe, effective, and potentially life-saving integrative therapies.In A Parent&’s Guide to Childhood Cancer, Beine teaches parents how to effectively incorporate these integrative therapies alongside conventional oncology, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Beine&’s approach is grounded in the metabolic approach to cancer—pioneered by the work of Dr. Nasha Winters—applied to a wildly underserved cancer patient population: children.Topics include:Understanding diagnoses and how to go about seeking a second opinionAssembling a medical team that includes both conventional and integrative oncology expertsEssential tests—both conventional and integrative—and how to interpret themHow to develop a metabolically healthy, anti-cancer nutrition planIntegrative therapies for specific diagnoses and reducing side effectsHow to harness post-treatment detoxification and gut-healing protocolsThe critical importance of, sleep, movement, stress reduction, and time outsidePlus much moreTherapies covered include:MistletoeN-Acetyl CysteineIV Vitamin CCannabinoidsGlutamineGlutathioneLow-Dose NaltrexoneMelatoninHyperbaric OxygenAnd moreWith cancer, Beine says, there is no silver bullet. But with a metabolic approach and the wise integration of simple and effective complementary therapies under the supervision of a metabolic oncology practitioner, there is a path forward to what every parent wants for their sons and daughters: a happy childhood.
