I'm just a parent, but I know there are natural ways to nourish our children as they go through their bout with cancer. My goal with this blog is to give parents the information that their oncologists may not know or give them so they have the information at their fingertips when they need it. There may not be a natural way to cure cancer (but my view of that is changing!), but I believe there can be a strong "synergy" of anti-cancer foods and supplements that have the ability to make modern medical treatment more effective and at the very least extend lives. My diet philosophy is of whole foods and a whole foods based diet. Whole foods nourish the body as a whole, strengthen the immune system and in turn help it to fight cancer. This is a collection of my personal and ongoing research that started when my daughter was diagnosed with AT/RT brain cancer.

Muscadine Grapes/Juice

This is one of the first things I did for Layla was starting her on a combination of the juice as well as skin/seed capsules. The resveratrol is important, but so it ellagic acid and quercetin. Some research even shows there are unknown constituents of the grape that are anti-cancerous.  I had considered growing these before Layla's cancer and the Great Depression II and went on many conferences about the grape. Unfortunately, most wineries make wine from the grapes and don't sell their juice, but there are a few that do.
