Alternative Cancer Treatments may help decrease side effects of chemotherapy and radiation and improve your quality of life during conventional treatment.  Standard Conventional Medical Care for oncology patients includes chemotherapy, radiation, biological therapy and surgery. Naturopathic Medicine can be used in several different capacities, and in varying degrees, with cancer patients.

The most common practices of Natural Therapy in Cancer Care are:

• Alternative Medicine – Therapies are used in place of standard medical treatments, for example a special diet to “treat” cancer in lieu of an oncologist’s suggested treatment plan.
• Complementary Medicine – Therapies are used in conjunction with standard medical treatments, for example using herbs to help combat side effects of chemotherapy.
• Integrative Medicine – A holistic approach to cancer care that involves the whole person – body, mind, spirit and community. Standard medical treatments are combined with the naturopathic therapies that have shown the most promise, for example, utilizing nutrients that increase the efficacy of a conventional treatment protocol.
