We are literally living in a sea of toxic chemicals, stressful life experiences, physical inactivity, and poor food choices. The result is that our bodies are aging rapidly and developing chronic, complex diseases such as cancer at an alarming rate. It’s hard to find an adult who hasn’t been touched by cancer, either directly as a patient, or through a friend or family member. Unfortunately, cancer is an epidemic that only seems to be getting worse.
One of the unfortunate side effects of traditional cancer treatment is that it can be harmful to the healthy part of your body- the part that doesn’t have cancer. It is important to make sure that the chemotherapy attacks cells that are diseased and to support and protect the healthy cells in your body. Proper care can help your body kill cancer faster and keep your healthy cells protected from the ravages of cancer treatment.
Our doctors are trained to work in tandem with traditional cancer care. We advise cancer patients on diet, lifestyle, nutrition, sleep, detoxification, and stress management to help improve outcomes. When going through cancer treatment, we believe it is important to use natural medicine along with mainstream medicine as they complement each other very well. Traditional medicine is focused on killing cancer. The natural medicine is focused on keeping the healthy part of your body alive and well, and supporting your immune system so it can do its job!
We have experience helping patients through this challenging health problem and are happy to discuss your options for incorporating natural medicine strategies into the traditional cancer treatment framework.
