The Ayurvedic Approach to Cancer

“Every single person should read [this book] to understand the deeper connections that they can have to their body, to understand the energetic abilities of the things around them, their thoughts, their actions, how it impacts their body to a cellular level.”—Radhi Devlukia, host of A Really Good Cry

“Dr Sam Watts has beautifully woven together the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with the modern realities of cancer care in this thought-provoking and empowering book. His focus on engaging the body’s healing potential through mindset, immune support and alignment with chronobiological systems deeply resonates with my own work, especially his emphasis on survivorship and the holistic balance of the terrain. I am particularly impressed by his keen insights into patient empowerment and pattern recognition – a hallmark of Ayurveda that has stood the test of time.
‘While our approaches to dietary recommendations may differ, particularly in how we address the metabolic aspects of cancer treatment, I wholeheartedly support his overarching philosophy of nurturing the whole being. Dr Watts’ 5-Step Plan to mitigate side effects and enhance wellbeing will undoubtedly offer readers a comprehensive and holistic path to health. His deep understanding of the profound role that ancient herbal medicines can play in cancer care is a valuable contribution to the ongoing conversation about integrative oncology.”—Nasha Winters, ND, FABNO, coauthor of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer and Mistletoe and the Emerging Future of Integrative Oncology
