A cancer-related checkup is recommended every 3 years for people aged 20 to 40 and every year for people aged 40 or older. This exam should include health counseling and, depending on a person’s age and gender, might include examinations for cancers of the thyroid, oral cavity, skin, lymph nodes, testes, or ovaries, as well as for some nonmalignant diseases. A high dietary intake of vitamin C has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of death from heart attacks and strokes, as well as all other causes including cancer. Many clinical and experimental studies have clearly demonstrated that stress, personality, attitude, and emotion are etiologic or contributory in suppressing the immune system as well as leading to the development of many diverse diseases. Regular exercise has been demonstrated to provide benefit to individuals with immunodeficiency diseases, particularly through stress alleviation and mood enhancement. HIV-positive individuals had increases in CD4, CD8, and natural killer (NK) cells immediately following aerobic exercise. Melatonin exerts significant anticancer effects, especially against breast cancer. Vitamin E not only improves insulin action, it also exerts a number of beneficial effects when taken at dosages ranging from 400 to 800 IU, which may aid in preventing the long-term complications of diabetes.

Fully documented, it stands out as a unique road map for optimizing patient care, oriented around the normalization of core physiological functions rather than symptom-based palliative care. Joe Pizzorno is a visionary in the natural health field and one of today's most respected and trusted naturopathic physicians. "Our goal for Clinical Pathophysiology-A Functional Perspective is to focus on key methods of assessment to identify underlying core factors that are responsible for disease, along with effective interventions using natural medicines and patient monitoring to provide a truly individualized approach. To reach this goal, we have reviewed thousands of research articles and extracted the most current, relevant information for practicing clinicians, and organized it by physiological systems." - Dr. Joseph E. Pizzorno, Jr., ND
