One of the things that I particularly appreciate about this study is its power, as it was done on 2100 patients over a long period of time, which gives a better understanding of the long-term benefits of dietary supplements and diet.

As a naturopathic and integrative physician, I understand the importance of finding natural and holistic ways to improve cancer outcomes, and this study provides valuable information on how dietary supplements and diet can affect cancer healing and improve outcomes. I hope that this episode will be beneficial for those with cancer or loved ones of those with cancer.
