Integrative Cancer Therapies

Natural integrative cancer therapies are remedies developed and constantly improved through long term clinical observation for all stage cancers. These therapies incorporate western treatment concept with various alternative cancer care practices. The three fundamental aspects of the therapies are: intake of natural non-toxic medicinal ingredients; nutritional diet; and psychological support.

"Non-toxic cancer care" is the core of natural integrative cancer therapies. The main ingredients are a group of natural compounds . Medicinal use of various vegetations containing precursor compounds has been prevalent for thousands of years and proven to be safe and non-toxic. Preclinical studies and clinical observations have demonstrated that this compound group has inhibitory effect on various cancers. Unlike traditional use of these medicinal vegetations, ingredient compounds in integrative cancer therapies are extracted in an accurate and controllable manner, which assures consistency and quantification of the product.

Nutritional diet is a critical component of integrative cancer therapies. Studies and practices have repeatedly indicated that malnutrition is manifested among the majority of late-stage cancer patients. 40% of cancer patients die of malnutrition. The role of nutritional diet in late-stage cancer treatment has become more important and been extensively researched in recent years. It is proven that well balanced nutritional supplement helps boost the immune system and improves the patent’s recovery process. The complexity and challenge in nutritional diet design in cancer care is the fact that each patient’s condition differs. Integrative cancer therapies adopt an individualized approach, taking each patient’s medical history, treatments received and prognosis into consideration. Developers and practitioners of integrative cancer therapies have refined their nutritional approach through years of practices and observations on thousands of clinical cases.

Psychological support has been increasingly recognized for its value in cancer treatment. Cancer patients, especially late-stage patients, have experienced enormous mental and emotional impact from the first day their diagnosis was made. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery and other conventional treatments exert significant physical pain as well as psychological toll on the patient, which in return, further weakens the patient’s immune system and discounts effectiveness of treatment. Despite the emotional comfort a patient usually received from families and society, the psychological support from the health professionals is oftentimes insufficiently provided and makes way to medical treatments. Natural integrative cancer therapies integrate various alternative, non-medicinal practices into the treatment strategy, which has so far achieved encouraging results.
