DCIS 411
DCIS Diet & Lifestyle
“Why are there no studies being done on people like me?” I asked an Integrative MD.
His answer: “There’s no money in it. Traditional medicine is not a health-care system — it is a disease management system.”
I asked the nurse telling me about DCIS treatment options: “Is there anything I can do with my diet & lifestyle to reduce the risk of cancer?”
She said:
No, nothing you need to change. And then… “Would you like a prescription for Xanax?”
“No, thank you,” I said, “I’ll stick with yoga, meditation, and running.”
