Nutrition and Alternative Medicine During Treatment

Patricia05

I have seen some general posts on these two topics and would like to get some feedback about what has worked for others. I will be seeing a nutritionist and Naturopath to coordinate diet and alternative medicine with my traditional medical doctors.  It is a service that is offered with my cancer care group.

 I listed some general questions below for your consideration.  I would like to know what really has helped during your treatment and if you could be specific and add links if this information is on the web that would be great for us all.

1. Have you altered your diet? if yes, how so?

2. Have you tried Acupuncture and for what?

3. Have you tired alternative medications to help with side effects?  What side effects? (especially hot flashes)

4. Have you tried Yoga or Meditation during treatment? 

5. Did you do some type of exercise during your treatment?

If you have completed treamtment and found things that helped keep you healthy during it please let us know.

Hi Patricia,

You might want to try posting your questions on the complementary and alternative forums. Good luck!

When you say let "us" know who are you referring to? Is this a survey or for your personal information?

Thanks.  I will take a look there.  I did not see that forum.

The "Us" was all of us that would read this.  I am looking for this information for me but others may find it useful.  I will take a look at the forum that was suggested and post my questions there if needed.
