What integrative cancer care is — and what it is not. Our integrative cancer program is supportive, complementary care. It is built to work alongside the treatment your oncologist provides — not to replace chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, or any conventional therapy, and not as a stand-alone cure for cancer. We coordinate with your medical team and will always be honest with you about what integrative care can and cannot do.
The Therapies We Use to Support You
Integrative cancer support is not a single treatment — it is a set of tools we combine to help your body stay stronger through conventional care and recover afterward. Depending on your diagnosis, your goals, and what your oncology team advises, a plan may draw on:
- High-dose IV vitamin C — delivered intravenously to reach levels you cannot get from food or pills; studied for tumor-specific effects in preclinical research and used here to support energy and resilience during treatment.
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy — breathing oxygen under gentle pressure to support tissue oxygenation, healing, and immune recovery.
- Ozone and EBOO therapies — used for immune modulation and detoxification support.
- Peptides, glutathione, and PEMF — layered in for mitochondrial support, antioxidant defense, and recovery between sessions.
- Nutrition and mind-body support — targeted nutrition, IV hydration, and stress care to help with side effects and quality of life.
Every one of these is used as support — to help with energy, treatment side effects, immune resilience, and day-to-day quality of life — alongside your conventional treatment, never in place of it. For some patients this support is folded into a structured plan like our chronic illness recovery program, built around your history and your oncology team's guidance.
Is This an Alternative to Chemotherapy or Radiation?
We are sometimes asked whether integrative or holistic care can replace chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. The honest answer is no — and we would not be doing right by you to suggest otherwise. There is no integrative therapy that has been shown to cure cancer on its own, and stepping away from proven conventional treatment can cost you time you do not have. What integrative care can do is real and worthwhile: help you tolerate treatment better, ease some side effects, support your immune system and energy, and look after the whole person rather than just the diagnosis. We work as a complement to your oncologist, not a substitute for them.
