A diagnosis of cancer is intimidating. We often think of the worst case scenario. Perhaps, stories of a friend or relative that had many side effects from conventional treatment. We have many patients come into the Nardella Clinic in Calgary to understand what a naturopathic integrative cancer therapy approach involves. Some patients may follow through with treatment while others are deterred by family or their oncologist that naturopathic integrative cancer treatments will interfere with the efficacy of conventional treatments. This is not true. The naturopathic cancer therapies provided by our naturopathic doctors complement conventional therapies and decrease their side effects. Critically important is that these therapies sensitize the cancers cells to conventional treatments promoting better outcomes.
There are many studies, including The National Institutes of Health funded studies, that demonstrate integrative treatments have synergistic effect with many chemotherapeutic agents. Our clinic naturopathic doctors utilize many different intravenous substances to help with supporting patients through their cancer journey.
