Abstract

[The Ultimate Consultation is one which comprehensively considers and addresses the potential causes of disharmony that have led to illness such as cancer, and offers an integrative approach to dealing with cancer. There are often many factors that may have led the patient becoming ill, and these include stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, lack of adequate sleep and sunlight and others. In the Ultimate Consultation, the patient is put firmly in the driver’s seat by empowering them with knowledge and encouraging them to be pro-active in addressing their health. It respects their right to make informed choices. In this chapter, we explore the key features of the Ultimate Consultation that provide a framework for conducting an integrative oncology consultation. We also discuss seven key health principles, that will form the topics to be discussed with the patient, and that can be incorporated into a Wellness Plan.]
