Chapter 7
Supplements that Repair and Restore
Because we are biologically built to assimilate our nutrition from food, we cannot simply “supplement” our way to a healthy state. Yet, supplements remain an essential component of the Garden Food Plan for several reasons. Cancer patients, in particular, often require targeted supplementation to overcome the deficiencies caused by their body’s altered metabolic state and the side effects of conventional treatments. In addition, our food is significantly less nutrient-dense today than it was just 50 years ago. Both of these factors make supplements a necessary addition to cancer therapy. This chapter covers the basics of supplementation, with recommendations for supplements frequently taken by our cancer patients. Of course, you should always consult your nutritionist or functional medicine physician to customize your supplementation based on your body’s needs.
