This holistic approach has proven beneficial as different people have individual needs based on their chronic illness and life situation. One of the keys on a path of healing from cancer is to nourish one’s body as optimally as possible to reduce side effects of the disease and treatment process and halt or reverse the concerns of loss of lean muscle, inflammation and loss of appetite and taste which leads to lower immunity, fatigue and loss of quality of life.
