Our body is our diet.
It is crucial to understand about what and how we eat, effects our body and cancer's growth , it can either provide fuel or starves our cancer. Nutrition can be equally important, if not more important and effective than some cancer treatments.
One topic that we cover is Whole Food Supplements. Unfortunately even when eating organic, a number of the foods we eat do not contain enough of the nutrients our body needs. The good news is that with the proper whole food supplements, we can supply our body with those nutrients that it needs,
We will also offer classes that include:

What most people don't understand is just how important one or all of them can be or how they can compliment, western medicine. No matter which approach you choose to take to battle your cancer. Everyone's cancer journey is different but they can all benefit from alternative therapies. We offer education on all of these but, will also be offering classes at the retreat in the following:
