Cancer Support
Holistic Cancer Treatment Support
Natural support to reduce symptoms and improve the effectiveness of conventional cancer treatments.
Fight Cancer with a Complete Arsenal
When combined with conventional cancer treatments, integrative cancer care can help patients improve their quality of life. Our Doctors can also discuss screening and detection options to increase the chance of better outcomes.
Supporting Your Treatment Plan
Naturopathic Medical Doctors (NMDs) trained in integrative cancer care do not offer alternative treatments to the conventional ones recommended by the American Cancer Society. Rather, NMDs serve as part of your experienced medical team. Working closely with your Medical Oncologist, Surgeon, and Radiation Oncologist, your NMD can help you in a variety of ways, including:
- Speeding Your Recovery
- Preventing Recurrence
- Managing Side Effects
- Improving the quality of life
Integrative Cancer Treatment Offers a Holistic Alternative
To provide the best care possible, integrative oncology uses a shared approach to your medical records. It is not designed to be an alternative to conventional treatment plans.
Rather, your naturopathic oncologist would work with your medical team. By utilizing a shared-access approach to your full medical history and treatment plan, your doctors can prescribe the best combination of complementary therapies. Ultimately, this gives you the highest possible standard of safety and patient-centered care.
Natural Therapies Offer Immune System Support
From diagnosis and treatment to recovery and prevention, your integrative oncologist can support you through every step of the process. By combining your conventional cancer treatment with natural and supportive therapies, you can support your immune system through non-invasive means.
These therapeutic techniques utilized through integrative medicine include, but are not limited to:
- Acupuncture
- Botanical Medicine
- Physical Medicine
- Clinical Nutrition
- Lifestyle Counseling
- Drip IV
- B12 Injections
Evidence-Informed Guidance to Naturopathic Cancer Support
As with all naturopathic medicine, NMDs specializing in oncology take a holistic approach to your health and wellbeing. Providing evidence-informed guidance, NMDs can help you make strategic changes to your lifestyle and diet to improve the effectiveness of your treatment and reduce the symptoms.
Why Naturopathic Cancer Support?
Cancer is scary. The treatments are hard and painful to endure. Integrative cancer care can help provide the support you need to maintain your quality of life.
Serving as part of your medical team, Naturopathic Medical Doctors (NMDs) work closely with your conventional doctors to provide therapies that support your treatment, lessen your symptoms, and reduce recurrence.
What are alternative cancer treatments?
The treatments and therapies offered by an NMD are not alternatives to traditional cancer treatments, such as radiation therapy. Rather, these therapies are offered as a support to conventional cancer treatment.
Each therapy recommendation is personalized to the individual patient so it can be administered safely and effectively. It’s based on the current course of treatment recommended and being administered by your Medical Oncologist, Surgeon, and Radiation Oncologist.
How effective are alternative cancer treatments?
Cancer patients face a long battle. You are literally fighting for your life. When a battle is this important, you want every weapon at your disposal. Naturopathic cancer treatment support helps you arm your body with the best defense possible.
From helping you reduce nausea and increase hunger to relieving aches and minimizing sensitivities, your NMD can make strategic recommendations to improve the effectiveness of your treatment and speed your recovery.
