Speaker: Donald Yance. One click orders parts 1 and 2 of this 3-hour presentation.Part 1 is based on thirty years of clinical experience and the increasing evidence from clinical trials, this lecture describes botanical protocols for patients on chemotherapy. The key is to create a multi-targeted approach using chemotherapeutic agents, botanicals, nutrients and dietary medicine based on the blood and pathology tests of each individual. This works toward mitigating side effects and toxicity from chemo, improves recovery of bone marrow and organ systems, enhances immunity, and targets unrelated patient health issues such as mood and sleeping disorders, digestive issues and fatigue. Describes the positive synergistic effects of botanicals working with chemotherapy for the best outcome and presents the most up-to-date herb-drug interaction information based on research and experience. 

 In Part 2 we go more deeply into details of tests and protocols. This includes a list of essential blood and pathology tests, what to look for in a CBC report, tumor and microenvironment biomarkers, and specific molecular tests on the major chemo agents (such as taxane, platinum, etc), How to test for mutations and biomarkers that help guide botanical protocols, how to target cancer stem cells with botanicals, and how to use protective botanical compounds during chemotherapy. And finally, we discuss how to combine whole plant extracts containing isolated chemotherapeutic agents with their drugs for maximum effect (ie; Camptotheca acuminata with chemotherapeutic agent Irinotecan or Topotecan)
