Download or read book Beyond the Magic Bullet written by Raymond Chang and published by Square One Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-05-17 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While scientists win occasional skirmishes in the battle against cancer, the overall war continues to go badly. Stories abound about revolutionary drugs that may be available in the future, but offer no real help to those who have cancer today. At present, conventional approaches continue to rely on a narrowly focused strategy of treatments, with doctors using, at best, only one or two drugs or other therapies at a time. While this may be acceptable in a laboratory setting or a clinical trial, it has done little to diminish the number of people who die each year from this dread disease. Recently, however, conventional medicine’s core strategy has been re-examined, and a new, potentially more effective approach has emerged—one that combines the best of Eastern wisdom with Western science. Beyond the Magic Bullet—The Anti-Cancer Cocktail by Dr. Raymond Chang takes a penetrating look at this bold new way of treating cancer. The book begins by examining modern medicine’s use of surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted drugs in the war against cancer. It then offers a new therapy based on the knowledge that certain off-label drugs, nutrients, and therapies are each somewhat effective against cancer. By combining these therapeutic agents into a “cocktail,” doctors have found that they can attack the cancer all at once, on many different levels and at several different angles, with the goal of overwhelming the disease. Dr. Chang not only discusses the effectiveness of the cocktail, but also provides an examination of the most valuable agents available. For over a thousand years, Traditional Chinese Medicine has used the cocktail approach to safely and effectively fight disease. Throughout the world, the most successful treatments for HIV and Hepatitis C are based on this strategy. Beyond the Magic Bullet—The Anti-Cancer Cocktail leads the way to a bright new future of hope and healing.

Download or read book Cancer Care for the Whole Patient written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-03-19 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer care today often provides state-of-the-science biomedical treatment, but fails to address the psychological and social (psychosocial) problems associated with the illness. This failure can compromise the effectiveness of health care and thereby adversely affect the health of cancer patients. Psychological and social problems created or exacerbated by cancer-including depression and other emotional problems; lack of information or skills needed to manage the illness; lack of transportation or other resources; and disruptions in work, school, and family life-cause additional suffering, weaken adherence to prescribed treatments, and threaten patients' return to health. Today, it is not possible to deliver high-quality cancer care without using existing approaches, tools, and resources to address patients' psychosocial health needs. All patients with cancer and their families should expect and receive cancer care that ensures the provision of appropriate psychosocial health services. Cancer Care for the Whole Patient recommends actions that oncology providers, health policy makers, educators, health insurers, health planners, researchers and research sponsors, and consumer advocates should undertake to ensure that this standard is met.

This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year over 280,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with breast cancer alone. But what happens when the treatment is over? How do these women and their families pick up the pieces of their lives after cancer treatment and move on? My book Thriving Beyond Cancer, Hope, Understanding and Validation for the Cancer Survivior fills the gap between survivor stories and positive psychology. It gives the reader the emotional validation they need and a road map to their life beyond cancer. When the doctor dismisses a patient after months of close scrutiny and says, "See you in three months," it feels as if the medical rug has been yanked out from under her feet. There's little or no conversation about the time after treatment and even less written about this precarious time. How does the patient cope during this void? Some worry obsessively about their cancer returning, others wallow in the unprocessed grief. They feel alone and afraid. Women are living longer than ever after having cancer yet many find their lives ill-fitting and dissatisfying. These women have glimpsed their mortality which directly affects their life's trajectory and priorities. These are all heavy topics but they are spun in a warm and loving way with concrete suggestions how to move past the craziness while validating their feelings with survivor stories and quotes. The book addresses the fear of recurrence, the anger, the aging effects, chemically induced menopause, and issues with family and friends. There is conversation around the lasting nature of treatment side effects and how to deal with them physically and emotionally while encouraging survivors to create a plan to reach future dreams. It also talks about advanced disease, everyone's nightmare, demystifying and bringing hope to those managing the chronic side of cancer. Breast cancer is a popular topic but this fresh and timely approach to survivorship will become a must-have in the world of cancer. It will give hope and the tools women everywhere need after cancer. The topic is relevant and important to any woman going through or finished with treatment and those in their lives.
