A cancer diagnosis is a very scary situation to face, especially when surgery, chemotherapy and radiation are the only options available to you. Conventional treatments for cancer are tough ordeals to experience, as they have very serious side effects and can leave a patient feeling nauseous, fatigued, depressed and in pain.
Integrative cancer care is the treatment of the future, and many large cancer treatment hospitals are incorporating alternative therapies into their cancer treatment regimens. Diet, exercise, mind body techniques, acupuncture and supplementation are all widely used to help stimulate the immune system, and keep the patient well while the chemo and radiation try to kill the cancer.
Herbal medicine can help kill cancer cells, stimulate the immune system, and protect the body from the negative side effects of conventional treatment. Dietary changes including severely limiting sugar and carbohydrate intake can help to starve cancer cells which love to eat sugar. Hyperthermic therapies like sauna therapy can raise body temperature to stimulate immune function.
We also offer intravenous vitamin therapies to our patients, most importantly, Vitamin C has been shown to stimulate the immune system and is toxic to cancer cells when given intravenously in the correct doses. Studies have shown that it may also be given to a patient while they are getting chemotherapy to help the chemo work even better.
We endeavor to support our patients as much as possible as they heal themselves from cancer; we educate them about all the options available, are advocates, cheerleaders, experts and health care pioneers fighting alongside them in the biggest fight for their life.
