Intravenous Cancer Therapy
The advantage of using intravenous therapies in cancer care is that vital vitamin, mineral and antioxidant molecules can be delivered straight to the tissues. By by-passing the often compromised digestive tract, maximum absorption of nutrients can occur.
Glutathione -This is one of the most important antioxidant molecules in our bodies. It protects healthy cells from damage and may be beneficial when used to reduce side effects of chemotherapy.
Echinacea-This plant extract helps to stimulate the immune system to fight cancer cells. It may be added to a treatment regimen periodically to give the immune system a boost.
Careseng- is an integrative remedy developed through long term clinical research and is specifically designated for late stage, drug-resistant cancer patients. It is derived from a very concentrated extract of the plant ginseng. It is highly toxic to cancer cells, has the ability to protect normal cells from turning cancerous and can be combined with some chemotherapy drugs.
Intravenous therapies can be used in combination with other types of therapies to:
prevent free radical damage to healthy DNA
support normal cell division
help conjugation of carcinogens
help DNA repair
induce apoptosis [cell death] of cancer cells
prevent metastasis of cancer cells
stimulate the immune system to attack cancer cells
prevent re-occurrence of cancer
improve the quality of life
High Dose Intravenous Vitamin C
Pioneered by Dr. Linus Pauling MD and Dr. Abram Hoffer MD, who treated over 1000 patents with advanced cancer. Intravenous Vitmain C therapy is safe, effective and does not have long term side effects. The National Cancer Institute reported that Vitamin C kills cancer cells by being converted to free radicals inside of them. It also acts as antioxidant molecule, protecting healthy cells from damage.
Iscador and Helixor therapy
These therapies come from the Viscum album and Helliborous niger plants. They stimulate the immune system, to kill cancer cells, and to help reduce tumor size. They may also help improve the quality of life and survival of some cancer patients, and may help reduce pain and side effects of conventional treatments.
Supportive Cancer Therapy Options
Dietary Therapy - educating patients on healthy dietary choices improves outcomes by increasing energy levels, decreasing inflammation in the body, preventing muscle mass loss and improving appetite.
Clinical Nutrition- using the latest research on how supplementation of nutrients can reduce side effects of cancer, promote death of cancer cells, reduce risk of metastasis and optimize the health of our patients.
Botanical Medicine - specific herbs, plant extracts, and mushroom extracts are used in adjunctive cancer care and optimizing health.
Acupuncture- activating specific points on meridian channels that ensure the smooth flow of qi or "life energy" can reduce pain and promote relaxation.
Homeopathic Medicine - the use of low dose, yet effective substances to stimulate the body's self-healing abilities. It is reported to support the energetic level of a person.
Orthomolecular medicine - specific vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fats, and other natural substances used in the prevention and treatment of cancer.
Antioxidant Therapy- antioxidants are utilized to protect healthy cells after chemotherapy and radiation.
Anti-Angiogenic Therapy- several supplements serve to inhibit tumor growth by disrupting tumor blood vessels. Since blood vessels do not grow in normal healthy tissues, the effect of anti-angiogenic therapy is concentrated only at the cancer site without toxicity to normal cells.
