About this audiobook
“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 author
An 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 opinion
- Assembling a medical team that includes both conventional and integrative oncology experts
- Essential tests—both conventional and integrative—and how to interpret them
- How to develop a metabolically healthy, anti-cancer nutrition plan
- Integrative therapies for specific diagnoses and reducing side effects
- How to harness post-treatment detoxification and gut-healing protocols
- The critical importance of, sleep, movement, stress reduction, and time outside
- Plus much more
Therapies covered include:
- Mistletoe
- N-Acetyl Cysteine
- IV Vitamin C
- Cannabinoids
- Glutamine
- Glutathione
- Low-Dose Naltrexone
- Melatonin
- Hyperbaric Oxygen
- And more
With 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.
