Jenny Graves is the owner of the Naturally Supporting Cancer Treatment page. In 2009, she was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. Once she had recovered after chemo and a stem cell transplant, she spent 4 years studying for an Advanced Diploma in Naturopathy, the science of natural medicine, in order to keep herself well and to support other cancer patients on their cancer journeys. Her aim on this page is to provide evidence-based ways to help prevent cancer formation and recurrence, and assist with treatment, using diet and lifestyle changes, nutritional supplements and herbs. All of the ideas she presents can work safely alongside chemo, radiation and surgery. She is careful to show you when certain treatments are unwise and whether they could interact with any medications that you may be taking. She has written a book on this subject, also called Naturally Supporting Cancer Treatment. In her book and on this page, she shares what she learned to stay well. Naturally Supporting Cancer Treatment shows you the evidence for:
The foods that help, those to avoid, and the best cancer diets;
Why stress reduction is valuable and the best ways to achieve it;
The importance of exercise and the types that might suit you;
The links between insomnia and cancer, and how to sleep better;
How some toxins can cause cancer, and ways to avoid them; and
Which supplements and herbs can help prevent cancer, support chemotherapy and radiation, and reduce side effects. The book is available in both paperback and multiple eReader formats from https://books2read.com/NaturallySupportingCancerTreatment
'What an inspired read. Jenny offers the perfect combination of patient and clinician's perspective. Confidently guiding you through the evidence based use of diet, lifestyle and complementary medicine. An empowering read for all oncology patients and their carers. I will be recommending this to patients in my care.'
Naturopath Carla Wrenn (Oncology Support)
'A vast guide into everything natural vs. unnatural, in relation to their respective benefits and risks to cancer recurrence or remission – “comprehensive” isn’t the appropriate word; this project is immense. A hugely detailed, highly academic reference guide, listing every natural therapy or ingredient you can think of, from diet to exercise, herbs and spices and even chemicals we find in our day-to-day cleaning and grooming products. Furthermore, the information isn’t just of benefit to cancer prevention, but most of it can be applied to a healthier lifestyle generally; there is no one who wouldn’t benefit from this book. Jenny has put in the immense hard work so you don’t have to. Endnotes and academic/medical professional sources are extensive, and the composition superbly written.'
