Foreword
“Using the shared standard of scientific validation and focused on the shared goal of optimizing patient wellness and outcomes, the Textbook of Naturopathic Oncology is a truly landmark contribution to oncology… Both Dr. Gurdev Parmar and Dr. Tina Kaczor are well-respected founders of the field of naturopathic oncology, established naturopathic oncology practitioners, and are sought after internationally for their clinical acumen. I can think of no others who are more qualified to offer a textbook on naturopathic oncology… Suffice it to say that this textbook will provide every practitioner of integrative oncology with a trustworthy guide to safe and effective practice. This will not gather dust on a bookshelf, but rather will become care worn, dog-eared and fingerprinted with its many uses. I know that I will have this within arm’s reach during my clinical consultations and that I will be a better practitioner because of it. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Gurdev Parmar for writing this book and Dr. Tina Kaczor for her meticulous editing. Creating this text was years in the making, and it shows.”
