INTRODUCTION TO INTEGRATIVE ONCOLOGY
Integrative oncology is an evidence-based, patient-centered approach to cancer care that combines conventional treatments with complementary therapies. Its primary goals are to improve patient outcomes, enhance quality of life, and reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Unlike alternative medicine, integrative oncology doesn’t replace standard treatments; instead, it works alongside them to support the body’s natural healing mechanisms. This approach is grounded in the latest scientific research grounded in the Metabolic Approach to Cancer (Nasha Winters), utilizing therapies like photodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, local regional hyperthermia, Mistletoe, IV therapies, and carefully selected nutrients and supplements.
As the field of oncology advances, so does the understanding of how specific therapies can work synergistically to target cancer cells more effectively. Integrative oncology provides cancer patients with additional tools to combat the disease while fostering an environment where the body can resist cancer growth. Many practitioners in this field, such as Dr. Nasha Winters, Dr. Paul Anderson, and Dr. Neil McKinney, advocate for personalized cancer care plans that incorporate diet, lifestyle changes, and non-conventional therapies. These approaches have shown promise not only in alleviating the adverse effects of cancer treatments but also in potentially improving patient survival and long-term health outcomes.
