Back to July 2007: Vitamins and Herbal Supplements
Where to find guidance on nutrition?
- Question from Risa: What qualifications should I look for in someone who will give me nutritional guidance or proven information on vitamins and supplements? It doesn't seem to be an interest of some oncologists.
- Answer —Gary Deng, M.D., Ph.D.: Many cancer centers now have a component of integrative medicine. They offer specific advice on nutrition and diet and lifestyle changes that are helpful to breast cancer patients. I suggest you contact a program like this that is close and convenient to you as a starting point.
