Natural Cancer Therapies

When using integrative or natural cancer care, you will also be supported with a variety of natural therapies that may include diet counseling, IV nutrients, herbal remedies, nutritional supplements, homeopathy, and hydrotherapy. When I develop your unique and individualized natural cancer care plan, I will take into account the tumor environment that lead to cancer growth, your chemical and environmental exposures, and unique blood markers that influence your cancer.

I am a cancer expert here to answer your questions.

By looking at cancer markers in the blood, our team of physicians will track how therapies are working and what uniquely influences cancer cell growth in your body. Markers might include immune cells, hormones, growth factors, vitamins, and minerals.

Detoxification is an important piece of reducing cancer risk. But, there is a right time and a wrong time to detox. To detox or cleanse, we recommend targeted nutrients that help Phase I and Phase II detoxification in the liver. I have many patients that have gone through our specific detox program to treat side effects from cancer treatments, get their health on track, and reduce risk of cancer recurrence. Let’s talk and see if now is the right time to start a detox program.

Diet counseling is a cornerstone to your health and wellness as you thrive beyond cancer. A variety of diet therapies have also been studied for reducing tumor growth. A nutritional plan will be developed to address your specific cancer type, and the foods that decrease that cancer type's growth.

An additional piece of nutritional support may include targeted nutrients and supplements that contribute to reducing cancer growth. These nutrients can be delivered in capsule and intravenous forms.

An important piece of looking at the promotion of cancer growth is tracking your environmental exposures. Our physicians will ask you about any chemical, heavy metal, or radiation exposures you have had over your lifetime. Armed with this knowledge, they can address the unique exposures to cancer promoters that your cells have come into contact with

Herbal remedies can help reduce cancer growth and address long-term side effects from conventional treatments. Herbs have positive studies for reducing fatigue, chemo brain, bone pain, and improving red blood cell and white blood cell counts.

Homeopathy addresses the underlying imbalances contributing to cancer growth and function in addition to treating the physical and emotional challenges associated with a diagnosis of cancer.

Hydrotherapy is the therapeutic application of water and is one of our oldest ways to promote your own body’s ability to heal. Hydrotherapy can successfully treat low blood cell counts, fatigue, pain, and balance immune function. I have seen hydrotherapy help bring white blood cell counts back to normal, reduce fatigue, and improve overall function. Hydrotherapy has been a successful treatment for cancer in my clinic with patients that have lymphoma, leukemia, and myelodysplastic syndromes.

IV Nutrients can be used to help the body heal, recover, and restore from surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. There are studies looking at specific IV Nutrient therapies as a natural cancer solution on its own. I recommend IV Nutrients to patients that have fatigue, low blood counts, and who are looking for natural ways to reduce their risk of cancer returning.  The nutrients range from vitamin C, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and other nutrients that help the body recover from cancer.
