Why Try Holistic Therapies?
Even though some of the therapies and strategies shared in this guide may not yet be supported by large-scale clinical trials, many are grounded in emerging research, traditional use, and powerful patient experiences. When the risk is low and the potential benefit is high; such as improved quality of life, reduced side effects, or even enhanced outcomes. It becomes worth considering.
You are not choosing between hope and science. You are choosing to explore every possible option.
Holistic approaches often come with fewer side effects than conventional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. In some cases, they may help you tolerate those treatments better, or offer an alternative when conventional options feel too harsh or have stopped working. You are not being reckless. You are being proactive, thoughtful, and empowered.
If the risk is minimal and the possibility of benefit exists, that may be reason enough to try.
