Integrative Cancer Care
  Innovative Medical Approaches to
Conventional Diagnosis and Treatment


  Integrative medicine seeks to restore wholeness in your life through a commitment to the intimate and innate connections of your mind and body.

We believe the practice of medicine is an art. Treatment, whether designed to combat a life-threatening illness or to optimize health, must be tailored to support the individual needs of each patient. Our protocols offer a whole mind-body approach to medical care – allowing you to experience greater control of your health.

To help you make informed and empowered decisions, we educate you on the specific and synergetic phases of your care. We will work with you toward understanding your health-related needs and customize a step-by-step medical plan helping you feel confident and comfortable.

Treatments we offer combine advancements in conventional medicine with the most promising new developments in fields such as nutritional pharmacology and botanical medicine, offering the best medical science has to offer. Our integrative approach utilizes natural agents to maximize biologic function and enhance health.

Nature, for example, provides much of the raw material for the current crop of chemotherapy agents, and many nutrients and botanicals can be used to achieve significant anticancer effects – with little or no toxicity. Our own research and clinical experiences show that foods such as garlic, onions, broccoli, and oats, along with herbs such as aloe, kava kava, ginkgo biloba, and ginger, contain naturally occurring anti-angiogenesis properties to assist the body in the prevention and eradication of disease. This is just one example of the numerous agents we are studying with mechanisms of action aimed at combating cancer.

We feel that our research-based, patient-centered, comprehensive approach to medicine actively engages our patients in their own healing process. This experience reaffirms a life-sustaining hope and a more enduring experience of wellness and vitality for those who are confronting cancer or for those who want to prevent it.
