On Febr. 27 I blogged about a research study being planned at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston in which breast cancer patients will be treated with diet, exercise, stress management and social engagement, along with their allopathic treatments. This study is being sponsored by the David Servan-Schreiber Foundation. Back to that in a minute.
This isn't the first research done using diet and exercise on cancer patients. Dr. Dean Ornish did preliminary studies several years ago which showed that a low fat, vegan diet and exercise lowered PSA levels in prostate cancer patients. There have been many other similar studies..
Back to Dr. Servan-Schreiber. In reading about the breast cancer study and his foundation, I learned of his death last July. Dr. Servan-Schreiber had brain cancer which was supposedly immediately terminal, yet he lived for almost 20 years using diet, exercise, meditation, and other alternative treatments along with his conventional treatments of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. He wrote a great book called "Anti Cancer, A New Way of Life," which I have read in the past and just re-read. The section on anti-cancer foods is very enlightening. He discusses his fight against cancer in this book.
He was one of the founders of the U.S. branch of "Medicine without Borders," an International organization that won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999.
