Naturopathic therapies function excellently as supportive cancer care. Various therapies such as nutraceuticals, herbs, IV therapy, diet and lifestyle modification can significantly improve treatment outcomes. By reducing the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, naturopathic treatments can improve quality of life during and after treatment. In addition, treatment can help improve healing times after surgery, reduce risk of metastasis, and reduce risk of recurrence.

Why Cancer Support?
The same medical treatments that are effective at removing cancerous cells may also cause serious side effects. Mitigating side effects allows for your cancer treatments to work while allowing your body to remain strong and recover from both the cancer and the side effects of treatment.
Many cancer patients lose a dangerous amount of weight and are experience depressed immune function during treatment — making them even more susceptible to other illnesses. A balanced medical treatment plan combined with naturopathic treatment options can assist in reducing the number of problematic symptoms that occur. Dietary and supplemental options can help stimulate appetite and reduce excessive weight loss.
If you are struggling to find the appetite to eat, or enough energy to get out of bed, our expert team will help you mitigate those symptoms so your body can focus its energy on healing.
