This book is primarily designed as a reference text with chapters on many different topics. The goal is to make it more encyclopedic, referenced and authoritative for readers who desire in-depth researched medical science. Some people prefer not to think much about their disease or treatment. Others prefer to learn all they can and want to be very involved in all decisions. This book is specifically for those who want to learn more and be involved and proactive. It is designed to inform and empower the reader with a wide spectrum of information on breast cancer causation, its biochemistry, pathophysiology, diagnostics and therapeutic modalities, both conventional as well as complementary and alternative. Every attempt to document that information with a research reference has been made. This text also illuminates the critical need to call attention to variability and individuality as factors of cancer susceptibility and treatment. Every attempt has been made to both personalize therapy and link together physiological systems into an integrated whole and demonstrate how these are influenced by one’s psyche and environment. These approaches address the individual with cancer from a cellular to psychoemotional level. This book explains that people do not become ill and develop cancer despite their lives, but rather because of their lives. That experience includes not only physical factors like diet, physical activity, and the environment, but also the internal milieu of thoughts and unconscious emotions that govern so much of our psychology, through the mechanisms of stress and the unity of the systems that regulate nerves, hormones, immunity, digestion and cardiovascular function. Worldwide complementary and alternative oncology methods have played an important role in breast cancer treatment, showing benefits such as a higher quality and length of life, reduced instance and severity of the side effects of conventional therapy, and a general improvement of the patient's immunological state. Indeed, these methods - from carefully monitored nutrition, exercise, and psychological support, to enzyme substitution, phytotherapy, hyperthermia and microbiome therapy - are critical to a treatment's overall success. ​More than ever, patients and doctors need accurate, up-to-date information about which methods have been proven in scientifically based clinical studies to be acceptable for use in conjunction with standard treatment methods. This unique book presents data on the efficacy of these methods as they are currently being used, the necessary scientific background, and practical advice for introducing them into practice. This book presents a very different road-map for the patient; one which truly inspires, empowers and illuminates a different path which acknowledges the unique life force we all possess and the divine ability for our body to self-regulate and heal. Breast Cancer: The Rest of the Story is a clear and incisive resource that empowers people to not just survive but to recover and thrive after cancer. Read more
