Oncological Care for Cancer Patients
A patient centred treatment approach that combines conventional cancer care with complementary therapies to optimize health, quality of life and clinical outcomes. It addresses physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the patient's cancer journey. The focus is on empowering patients to become active participants in their care from prevention to survivorship. The goal is to improve quality of life, help manage symptoms and potentially enhance treatment outcomes while keeping a safety profile.
What I Offer
IV Vitamin C
High dose IV vitamin C has been used for decades and more research is proving that this care is safe and effective when used before, during, and after standard therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. At high doses intravenously, it acts as a pro-oxdiant, providing further damage to cancer cell via the production of peroxides.
Benefits:
meaningful reductions in tumour volume
faster recovery after surgery
decreased infections
greatly improved quality of life
improvements in life expectancy.
Other IV therapies are also offered including:
Glutathione
Chelation
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Nutritional Supplements
The majority of patients undergoing cancer therapy look to take supplements, vitamins, and other nutrients during their therapy. It is of paramount importance that patients are counselled properly to ensure that what they are taking is not interfering with standard therapies such as chemotherapy and radiation. We create a plan specific to your cancer type and care, reassessing and modifying as necessary .
Benefits include addressing the following areas, which are directly and indirectly linked to cancer development and therapy, all of which are important when taking an integrative approach to cancer care:
chronic inflammation
blood sugar control
immune system support
care of infection
blood vessel growth
metastasis
Mistletoe Therapy
Mistletoe therapy has been used for almost a century in many European countries as an adjunctive to chemotherapy and radiation. Administered as an injection just under the skin or intravenously, mistletoe has numerous benefits to patients undergoing standard cancer therapy.
Benefits include improvement in the following areas:
weight and appetite
pain
quality of life
survival
inhibition of blood vessel growth in tumours
white blood cell counts, leading to less infections and missed chemotherapy appointments
