We need to recultivate empowerment, hope, belief, ok, and there are a variety of approaches that are sacrosanct in allowing us to do that, and they serve multiple outcomes.
Facing a cancer diagnosis can feel like your world has turned upside down. The stress and worry don't just affect the person diagnosed, but also ripple out to their loved ones. In this episode, Dr. Sam Watts offers practical advice to help regain a sense of control and support your well-being alongside conventional treatments. Dr. Watts acknowledges that one of the toughest parts of a cancer diagnosis is the loss of control.
He shares actionable tips to help you feel more empowered during this challenging time. Integrative cancer care, which blends natural medicine and Ayurveda with Western approaches, is a cornerstone of his advice. Dr. Watts suggests exploring resources like 'Radical Remission' by Kelly Turner and 'The Dragon’s Blessing' by Ian Gawler to gain insights and inspiration from others who have faced similar battles. Dietary changes also play a significant role in his recommendations.
Books like 'The Rainbow Diet' by Chris Woolhams and 'The Anti-Cancer Diet' by David Servan-Schreiber offer guidance on how to nourish your body effectively. Meditation and mindfulness are another focus, with Dr. Watts encouraging even just a few minutes of daily practice. Apps like Calm, Insight Timer, and Headspace can make this easier to incorporate into your routine.
Herbal medicine and supplements, such as ashwagandha, vitamin D, and zinc, are also discussed for their potential benefits in supporting the immune system. Dr. Watts emphasizes the importance of seeking out resources and support. Organizations like Yes to Life Charity and the Penny Brohn Centre provide valuable assistance through various forms of support, including telephone and online help, as well as in-person courses. By tapping into these resources and following Dr.
Watts' advice, you can bolster your physical, emotional, and mental resilience during your cancer journey.
