Looking for Nutritionist Recommendations

cheryla13

I've read so much about fighting cancer with food and am now trying to a nutritionist that specializes in the cancer battle.  If you have found someone or know of someone that comes highly recommended I'd greatly appreciate the information.  I'm in the Southern California / Pasadena /Los Angeles area.

another aside fromposphorus for blood is zinc.  read this very early on.  oysters have a lot, that didn't turn out to be doable, but so does pumpkin seeds & sunflower seeds (which also have a lot of selenium, good in combination with iodine, just look at the color of sunflower seeds & pumpkin seeds & you can see the color of zinc

cheryla, I'm out in the Palm Desert area, and I use a naturopathic doctor who has certification from this association:  www.oncap.org

There's a link on their website to find an ND with these ND+oncology credentials near you, and luckily, there are quite a few in So. CA.

Other than that, UCLA is big into integrative medicine.  Mary Hardy is the go-to doc there for nutrition info, but she doesn't take any insurance, and a consultation with her was $250 back in 2009 when I saw her.  

If you haven't already read them, a couple of excellent books to get are Anti-Cancer, a New Way Of Life, by David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhD; and Beating Cancer With Nutrition, by Patrick Quillin, PhD, RD, CNS, and the former the head of nutrition for Cancer Treatment Centers of America.  I highly recommend both books.      Deanna

I found mine on the video "Cancer is Curable Now".....He's in El Cajon (near San Diego) and an awesome naturopath & clinical nutrionist   www.naturopath4you.com

Since I just 'reversed' my Stage 2 TNBC in 8 months....I'd say he's worth it!!

Blessings & Good Luck!
