MaxLove Project founders Audra and Justin Wilford stop by for a long overdue conversation on all things childhood cancer.  Did you know that by age 45 95% of childhood cancer survivors will be dealing with secondary chronic disease, and within that 85% will be life threatening?  Audra and Justin are out to change that.  

 

Usually on the show we’re talking mostly in terms of adult cancer and I then go back and write on My Kid Cures Cancer.com about how the information applies to childhood cancer but this interview was actually about integrative approaches to childhood cancer.

 

With that in mind if you’re an adult interested in adult things not to worry just like the information usually crosses over quite nicely from adult to child I promise you there is plenty of really good insights in here for you as

 

In This Epidose:

 

• Audra and Justin’s six year integrative journey with their son Max and a brain tumor.
• How what started out as a project to deliver nightlights to familys has become an organization that has helped thousands of children survive and thrive through cancer treatment and beyond.
• Fierce foods in the fight against cancer
• How to look at and incorporate evidence based medicine into your plan
• Audra and Justins’s feelings on conventional treatment and what they’d like to change within the system
• Resources and optimal mindset for getting started down the integrative road and positive lifestyle and diet change.
• An actual study with actual kids with cancer implementing multiple complementary interentinsn and pubishind te resutls

Audra and Justin Wilford founded the MaxLove Project in 2011, just three months after their then 4-year-old son, Max, was diagnosed with brain cancer (mixed-grade glioma). Following a difficult partial-resection surgery and the start of one-and-a-half years of chemotherapy, the Wilfords decided to become full partners in Max’s treatment, recovery, and survivorship. By consulting with doctors, researchers, and other cancer families, they began to find out what they could do, in addition to the standard treatment, to improve Max’s functioning, pain levels, energy, and future survivorship.

 

Whole food nutrition, good sleep hygiene, kid-friendly physical activity, and stress management techniques like acupressure, massage, and breathing were just a few of the evidence-based practices that helped Max thrive through treatment and into survivorship. Today, the Wilfords direct the MaxLove Project with the mission to increase the quality of life and reduce health risks for all children fighting cancer in treatment and beyond.
