Post Chemotherapy Rejuvenation

Because of Marianne's knowledge and experiences as an Oncology nurse, she especially understands the needs of those being treated for cancer.  She can help rejuvenate the body that has been ravaged by those sometimes necessary, but very brutal chemotherapeutic agents. Recovery from the affects of chemotherapy and radiation can take up to 18 months.

   It's a long process that can be hastened by doing all that you can in order for you to help the body heal itself. At "For Yourself", Long Island's Acupuncture and Holistic Rejuvenation Center, treatments and food recommendations are geared to bring your body back into balance according to the Eastern healing philosophies, and Eastern nutrition.

   Patients that have undergone, or who are currently being treated with chemotherapeutic drugs can greatly benefit from acupuncture and herbs. During treatment, acupuncture can be very helpful in alleviating or greatly reducing  some effects of therapy. Weakness, nausea, and probably most importantly, fatigue, can be relieved in many cases. Post chemotherapy effects can linger for as long as 18 months to 2 years. Symptoms of post treatment effects such as "chemo brain", and neuropathies can be greatly reduced, and the time it takes the body to restore and rejuvenate it's natural balance, can be greatly hastened.
