Integrative Cancer Care:
Navigating Your Journey with Naturopathy and East Asian Medicine
​
Imagine cancer as a raging fire in a house, relentless and destructive. It may not be put out with a handheld fire extinguisher. You need firefighters armed with powerful tools. Conventional medicine serves as the frontline firefighter, equipped with potent tools such as chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, immunotherapy, etc., to
​
extinguish the flames and save lives. However, just as the efforts of putting out a fire leave behind damage to the house, conventional cancer treatments can result in collateral damage to the body.
​
In the efforts of putting out the fire, you also need a supportive ally, offering a proactive approach to prevent or negate any side effects from conventional treatments, enhance their efficacy, optimize the body's response to therapy, and improve quality of life.
​
By integrating complementary therapies such as nutrition, herbs, repurposed drugs, mistletoe therapy, and IV therapies, which are also individualized and specific to cancer types and therapies that you are on, we can create a comprehensive strategy that supports the body's ability to heal and recover. By working hand in hand, integrative cancer care offers patients the best chance for recovery, resilience, and long-term well-being.
​
I understand the devastating impact of cancer firsthand. Losing my uncle to cholangiocarcinoma (gallbladder cancer) and supporting my father through his prostate cancer journey have deeply influenced my commitment to helping others facing similar challenges. These personal experiences have given me insight into the emotional and physical toll that cancer takes on individuals and their loved ones.
​
My professional journey has been enriched by invaluable experiences gained while working alongside Dr. Edythe Vickers at An Hao Natural Health Clinic. Additionally, I played an active role in the Immune Enhance Project (IEP), focusing predominantly on supporting cancer patients. Utilizing a diverse range of modalities such as naturopathic medicine, East Asian herbal formulas, acupuncture, mistletoe therapy, visceral manipulation, and scar tissue treatment, I've had the privilege of positively impacting the well-being of individuals confronting different types of cancer.
​
Furthermore, I am proud to be a member of the Oncology Association of Naturopathic Medicine, where I continue to stay updated on the latest advancements in the field. Recently, I completed a mistletoe therapy course offered by the Physicians' Association for Anthroposophic Medicine, further enhancing my skills and expertise in supporting cancer patients.
​
I am here to assist you in selecting the right natural remedies and essential nutrients, offering support throughout your cancer treatment journey, and beyond.
