“A metabolic, deep nutrition, and nontoxic approach is the answer to cancer prevention and management.” “We must focus on the 90–95 percent of cancers that are caused by the standard American diet and exposure to environmental toxins”.

A METABOLIC APPROACH TO CANCER

What, Why, How

Human cells have mitochondria and when they go awry in response to modern dietary and environmental influences, they become sick, inflamed, and cancerous.  To eliminate the cancerous cells and truly heal, we must fix the mitochondria.  Identifying what is causing the body to cancer, treating the terrain, the “soil” that contributed to the cancer growth, is much more effective than simply burning, cutting or poisoning the tumor in hopes that the cancer goes away.  It’s about treating the individual, the person, and strengthening their terrain, not just focusing on the tumor. An integrative approach, combining traditional with metabolic therapies, often works best, not only to improve outcome, but to reduce the side effects of conventional treatment and prevent recurrence. 

In 2014 a study of 70 FDA approved chemotherapy agents found the cancer treatments extended life by an avg of only 2.1 months 

 

The Metabolic Approach:

  • What caused the cancer to grow
  • What about this person is sick 
  • Individualized approach
  • Therapies 
  • Addressing the “Why”, “What” and “How”
  • Improving quality of life
  • Reducing mortality rates 

 

The current conventional cancer care system of diagnosis and treatment can be confusing, cold, scary and impossible to navigate. I can help to reduce this overwhelm and isolation. I advocate for informed decision making in order to choose the most appropriate treatment and testing, sharing in the burden on self, family and physician.  The metabolic approach to cancer prevention and cancer therapy is meant to strengthen the body and mind, to allow for natural healing and improved quality of life, not simply to tear it down and “kill” cells. 

 

“Cancer is a metabolic, environmental, and emotional disease. It’s not just a tumor; it signifies correctable imbalances that occur inside and outside our body. It is time for some real hope and to disarm the most deadly disease of modern times. How? With the metabolic approach to cancer.”
