Health food

Children with cancer are special children. They are undergoing very difficult treatment. After chemotherapy courses, their blood counts drop, as a result, the mucous membranes of the mouth and cheeks become covered with huge ulcers, and often the ulcers reach down into the esophagus. The child stops eating while losing weight. The body ceases to resist disease. It is very important to support the child at this moment. But often neither persuasion nor requests help. Special food comes to the rescue, which contains all the necessary vitamins and minerals.

Nutritional therapy can reduce the cost of treatment for each patient, as it significantly reduces the number of relapses and complications. Half of cancer patients have nutritional disorders (the ratio of muscle to fat mass), and a decrease in body weight is observed even before chemotherapy. Nutritional deficiency leads to deterioration in treatment results and complications, and the number of deaths increases.

During childhood, nutritional support is especially important because it allows you to create a reserve for the development of the body for the future. Gaps in nutritional status can translate far into a future life. Unfortunately, the cost of special meals is very high for most parents who come for treatment.
