In a nutshell, this book contains all the information I wish I had when my dear mother’s pancreatic cancer was misdiagnosed as a residual effect of pneumonia she had endured the year before. Had we known the right questions to ask at the time and insisted on some simple blood tests, I strongly believe she would still be with us today.
I have developed a ten-step roadmap drawing from my twenty-plus years as a nutritionist, thousands of hours of research, and my personal experiences of witnessing family members and clients having to deal with cancer. The roadmap is designed to help you manage the numerous controllable factors which may have contributed to the development of cancer.
By identifying these factors, asking the right questions, and addressing potential issues, not only do you stand a much greater chance of defeating cancer, but you also have the potential to emerge from this journey healthier and stronger than before.
Meet the Author
Matt Straight
Matt Straight is a dedicated advocate for health and wellness, driven by a profound passion to help individuals achieve better health. Born in the UK, raised in New Zealand, and having worked in countries such as India, the Philippines, and Australia, Matt has a rich background in holistic wellness management and nutritional practice.
With over 20 years of experience as a nutritionist and wellness coach, Matt’s journey took an unexpected turn in 2016 when his mother received a misdiagnosis for what was thought to be lingering pneumonia from the previous year. Tragically, when his mother insisted on further investigation, it was revealed that she had late-stage pancreatic cancer, and just a few months later, sadly she passed away due to the late detection.
Despite his extensive background in nutrition and wellness, Matt quickly came to the realisation that both nutritionists and doctors were seriously lacking adequate training to help cancer patients improve their odds of conquering the disease beyond the conventional approaches of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. As both a devoted son and a seasoned nutritionist, he grappled with the helplessness of being ill-equipped to assist his dear mother. For the first time in his life, this heart-wrenching experience plunged Matt into a state of depression.
"Controlling The Odds" is a must have resource and is now available in eBook and Paperback.
