Increasingly, we are hearing about the relationship between nutrition and cancer. Not only are studies finding a diet link to causes of cancer, but we are learning about nutrition as a preventive measure as well.

If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with cancer, you know about the complex decisions to be made and challenges to face. Should the cancer be treated with surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy? Will the treatment be successful? If so, for how long? When we consider such serious and frightening questions, all aspects of our person - body, mind, and spirit - are placed under extreme strain and stress.

Cancer weakens us, making us vulnerable. Side effects from treatment make it difficult to heal and combat the disease. Clearly, good health and strong defenses are crucial for recovery.

At Midwest Wellness Center, we will work with you at any stage - from a preventive approach to developing an intensive program that will prepare your body for treatment or help you in the recovery and healing process. Dr. Wand will work with your oncologist if you desire. In addition to developing your individualized nutritional program, Dr. Wand may also recommend other supportive therapies, such as healing touch or acupuncture.

Even the very weak and debilitated have benefited from appropriate nutritional programs, easing not only physical symptoms, but providing more energy to cope with the many emotional and spiritual issues involved.
