Cancer: A Nutritional Biochemical Approach
Alternative Health Diet Therapy Integrative Medicine Oncology Nutrition Biochemistry Cancer Care Nutritional Therapy
Cancer: A Nutritional Biochemical Approach – Second Edition – is one of the most respected Australian references for patients, carers and clinicians who want science-backed, non-pharmaceutical strategies alongside orthodox care. Author Henry Osiecki, one of Australia’s founding clinical nutritionists, spent decades translating peer-reviewed oncology nutrition research into protocols that can be safely integrated with chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. The result is a dense but accessible 500-page manual that explains exactly which macro- and micronutrients, phytochemicals and biochemical pathways influence tumour growth, immune surveillance and treatment tolerance.
Buyers value this second edition because it has been completely updated with the latest findings on methylation, tumour micro-environment, cachexia prevention and the emerging role of ketogenic, Mediterranean and plant-centred diets in specific cancers. Each chapter ends with practical “clinical pearls” – dosage ranges, contraindications and lab markers to track – so readers can discuss evidence-based options intelligently with their oncologist, dietitian or naturopath. The extensive reference list (over 1 200 citations) makes the book a gold-mine for students writing literature reviews or graduates preparing case studies.
This particular copy is a clean, tightly-bound paperback that has been gently used and carries a personal inscription on the fly-leaf – a reminder of the hope and empowerment the book has given previous readers. Closed page edges show light shelf evidence but interior text is unmarked and fully legible, so every chart, dosing table and biochemical diagram remains crisp for quick consultation. Because the title is now out of print, second-hand copies in acceptable condition are snapped up quickly by integrative health practitioners and wellness-focused libraries.
If you are looking for a single, affordable resource that bridges orthodox oncology and nutritional biochemistry, this edition is the benchmark. It equips you to design an individualised food, supplement and lifestyle plan that supports immune function, reduces treatment side-effects and improves long-term quality of life without over-promising miracle cures. Secure this copy today to add a sought-after, professionally referenced guide to your integrative-health shelf.
