Description

Cancer, Home Care and Self-Care brings together curated topics on cancer, home care, health, and healing from Connie Dello Buono — health author, former pharmacy technician instructor, and founder of Motherhealth’s Bay Area home care agency.

Drawing on her years supporting families through cancer, hospice, and chronic illness care at home, Connie walks through practical, plain-language topics families can act on right away.

What’s inside:

• Learning healing ways and self-hacking your health
• Why endocrinological diseases like diabetes and thyroiditis are becoming more common
• Managing the side effects of chronically elevated cortisol
• Adaptogenic herbs and needed nutrients
• Medications and care for the proactive and active phases of dying
• A 4-step approach to cancer prevention: limiting stress, prioritizing sleep, addressing gut microbes, and targeting parasites
• The gut-hormone connection and its link to estrogen-related diseases
• Ginger, cinnamon, and other natural anti-parasitic supports
• Detoxing from air pollution and metal toxins
• Vitamin D, cardiovascular health, and cancer risk
• Personal stories, including how her father lived 40 more years after a liver cancer diagnosis

This book pairs Connie’s own family caregiving experience with practical health research, making it a resource for anyone caring for a loved one through cancer or looking to build long-term cancer-free health habits. Pair it with Food Chemistry and Diet for a deeper look at how nutrition affects cancer risk.
