Breast cancer survivors’ choices in treatment and diet
In this study we followed breast cancer survivors up to 7 years following initial encounter in a naturopathic clinic. Most
survivors had surgical resection of their entire tumor burden, followed by at least 36 intravenous nutrient treatments,
administered under the medical direction of the author. Some of those in remission chose to return for follow-up intravenous
nutrients once per month after they were observed to achieve remission from their cancers. We compare this group with
those who had the intravenous nutrients without any surgery, as well as those who had the surgery plus IV nutrients, plus
chemotherapy. We compare the different cohorts for survival, treatment choices, disease status, current dietary habits and self-
reported quality of life. Comparison is also made among those whose initial diagnosis was Stage I, II, III or IV. We examine
in particular detail the diet and lifestyle of the cancer survivors. 97 total cancer survivors responded fully and promptly to
detailed questionnaires, in which they indicated whether they had 3 times or more per week items from a long list of foods and
beverages, and whether they exercised. 37 of those were breast cancer patients. We compare the diets and lifestyles of those in
remission versus those who continue to suffer from breast cancer.
