Michael Douglas has stage 4 throat cancer. Although Michael Douglas remains optimistic his cancer can be deadly.  He will undergo radiation and chemotherapy.  The link above describes the treatements and side effects. While keeping up sufficient nutrition becomes difficult and a major concern, nutrition apparently is significant in his recovery. Watch the video to see why. 

Need to learn more about throat cancer? Read the following guide.  The American Cancer Society has several articles about nuturition for people with cancer. As Mr Douglas will be burning more calories, have compromised immune system problems, and may have difficulty with swallowing, eating enough could become problematic.  Obviously, he will have a top team of doctors and specialists working for him.

Hopefully, he'll also consult with nutritionists as well. He might consider:

  • Raw blended or juiced vegetables and fruits. The Gersen Institute has extensive experience with fighting cancer using diet and juicing.
  • Aloe vera gel and juice. Aloe vera eases burns, helps skin repair cells and much more.
  • Qi Gong.  Master chi gong practioners have had success with shrinking tumors.
  • Smoothies with nutrient dense foods.
  • Supplements. Suzanne Somers Knockout will provide lots of ideas that everyone can use.

Energy is important as well, and send prayers, notes, and card to Mike Douglas.  Stage 4 cancer can be deadly. However with a very intensive approach, people occassionally recover or go into remission.

If you live in New Mexico there are an abundant number of practioners whom could treat seriously compromised immune systems. The Integrative Hoistic Healing Center in Santa Fe NM has a team of practioners who could assist you. Call 505.424.9527 for details.

The University of New Mexico Hospital has an excellent cancer treatment unit in Albuquerque NM.  Combining traditional allopathic and alternative treatment often increases chances of survival.

Remember there are numerous habits that encourage cancers to develop and thrive. Pooe diet, stress, smoking and drinking excessively are just a few of the famous culprits.  Take steps to reduce the risks of cancer now.  Good health to you all.
