The Use of “NEWSTART” as an innovative therapeutic approach in breast cancer
Lydia Andrews
Oakwood University, USA
B
reast Cancer is not a death sentence. There are many survivors of this condition who attribute their longevity to a radical change in
lifestyle. After diagnosing someone with breast cancer the oncologist outlines the conventional treatment regimen which includes
surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. This treatment regimen can be combined with another therapeutic approach which is directly
linked to a change in one’s lifestyle. This lifestyle change can be accomplished using “NEWSTART” The acronym stands for Nutrition,
Exercise, Water, Sunshine, Temperance, Air, Rest, Trust in Divine Power. Many lifestyle centers which can be found throughout the
United States conduct programs using the Newstart model of treatment for various medical conditions including cancer. As a breast
cancer survivor I spent two weeks at a lifestyle center after breast surgery and will be willing to recommend this innovativ therapy to
anyone who will be willing to adopt a different lifestyle after breast cancer diagnosis. This paper will describe the NEWSTART model
of treatment and its effectiveness on breast cancer survival.
