Personalized Care

Cancer is a serious chronic disease. Patients with cancer that opt for naturopathic medicine in conjunction with conventional medical treatments see further improvements in their health. The main reason patients with cancer come to see me at Family Naturopathic Clinic is for immune support. I provide treatments that are natural, holistic, and personalized. I will elaborate on the main natural treatments that I use in clinical practice to prevent cancer, as well as treat cancer. Some of these treatments may be new to you – even though many have been around for hundreds of years.

1) Clinical Nutrition: Are you frequently grabbing a bite to eat at a fast food restaurant or preparing home-cooked meals instead? Are you eating a variety of fruit and vegetables? Your daily food choices have a significant impact on your overall health. Quite simply, food is medicine. As a result, I make very specific dietary recommendations to promote health. I also test patients for food sensitivities. A food sensitivity or intolerance is different from a food allergy. A food allergy to a peanut can cause an anaphylactic reaction, whereas food sensitivities are more subtle and can cause numerous symptoms. In my experience, determining a patient’s food sensitivities can be a life-altering experience. Many health conditions can be effectively treated using foods and nutritional supplements, including cancer.
2) Lifestyle Management: Your lifestyle choices can either promote health or disease. Are you burning the candle at both ends? Are you anxious most of the time? Do you get an adequate amount of sunshine, exercise, and sleep? Are you exposed to environmental hazards at the workplace or at home? Patients with cancer can experience a tremendous amount of stress for years before being diagnosed with cancer, and throughout treatment. Learning various methods to manage stress is an important part of overall treatment.
3) Herbal Medicine: Plant medicines can address a variety of health problems simultaneously and because of the organic nature of botanical medicines, they are compatible with the body’s own chemistry.
4) Homeopathy: Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, a German medical doctor invented homeopathy over two hundred years ago. Homeopathic medicines involve using dilutions of natural substance to treat the body, and are commonly used worldwide today.
