Cancer Care

Cancer is not one but many diseases, which must be treated specifically. In your appointment your unique needs will be assessed and a custom plan will be formulated.

As cancer can be caused by environmental, physical, mental-emotional, and spiritual factors, we will address each of these with you in your first consult. Research has shown that patients who address and make changes to all of these factors may have better outcomes.

At Naturopathie Integrative Clinic, we believe that in combination with conventional care, naturopathic interventions such as diet, lifestyle changes, IV Therapy, injection therapy, supplementation, and counselling can support you or your family member’s cancer journey.

Naturopathic medicine can help reduce side effects, improve efficacy and ability to tolerate conventional interventions such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, targeted and immunotherapies. It has also been shown to improve survival and cancer-free outcomes when used together. Patients may also see improvements in quality of life such as energy, sleep, appetite, and pain.

Survivorship is an important factor that is often missed by conventional care; once cancer treatments are finished, patients are discharged, often with many side effects of treatment still decreasing their quality of life.
