Immuno-Oncology
Immuno-Oncology Treatments
An integrative approach that combines conventional and alternative medicine can offer a more holistic and comprehensive treatment plan for patients, especially those dealing with complex conditions like cancer. Conventional medicine often focuses on treating the disease itself, while alternative medicine approaches may address the whole person, including their mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
By integrating both approaches, our patients can potentially benefit from a wider range of treatment options, tailored to their individual needs and preferences. For example, while conventional treatments like chemotherapy or radiation therapy target cancer cells directly, alternative therapies such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, or mind-body practices like yoga or meditation can help manage symptoms, alleviate side effects, and improve overall quality of life.
However, it's crucial that any integrative approach is guided by qualified healthcare professionals who are knowledgeable about both conventional and alternative treatments. This ensures that treatments are safe, evidence-based, and effectively coordinated to optimize patient outcomes.
Ultimately, the goal of our integrative approach is to empower patients to take an active role in their healthcare journey, providing them with a more comprehensive and personalised treatment plan that addresses not just the physical aspects of their condition, but also their emotional and spiritual well-being. Immuno-oncological treatments as part of a bespoke treatment plan are known to:
Modulate the body’s cancer-fighting ability to restore and maintains innate immunity.
Stimulate the natural defences of the immune system increasing the ability to eliminate viruses, bacteria, parasites, and other foreign particles from the body, reducing toxic load.
Enable the body to produce more cancer-fighting immune cells that effectively locate, attack and eliminate cancer cells known as cell apoptosis (cell death).
High Dose IV Vitamin C Infusion
Mounting evidence indicates that vitamin C has the potential to be a potent anti-cancer agent when administered intravenously and in high doses. Early phase clinical trials have confirmed safety and indicated efficacy of IV-C in eradicating tumour cells of various cancer types.
High Dose vitamin C uses injections of ascorbate, and this acts as a pro-drug to increase Hydrogen Peroxide' levels in cells. in cancer cells and kill them. A major water-soluble antioxidant with a variety of biological functions, IV Vitamin C is important for maintaining proper immune cell function. Even though vitamin C commonly functions as an antioxidant, it can also act as a pro-oxidant, that is actually oxidising tissues, which is what chemotherapy does.
Tumour Treating Field (TTF) Electrical Cancer Therapy
Tumour Treating Field (TTF) therapy, emits low-intensity electrical fields into the body to suppress cancer-cell proliferation.
The effectiveness of TTF is considered to be similar to that of chemotherapy. However, chemotherapy has many known side-effects which destory normal cells, and it is not recommended to be used for long term treatment due to drug resistance and accumulation of toxicity. TTF on the other hand is a safe treatment, which research shows to not have any problems in terms of drug resistance and accumulation of toxicity. TTF therapy may also be used alongside conventional treatments, such as chemotherapy.
Macrophage Activating Therapy
Macrophage Activating Therapy are approved food-based supplements, made in Japan, using patent technology from milk proteins.
Macrophages function as Natural Killer (NK) cells which engulf and digest cancer cells, viruses and microbes. It is produced by the differentiation of monocytes in tissue which account for 5% in the white blood cells. MAF Activating Therapy works in conjunction with High Dose Vitamin C IV Infusions and Vitamin D Therapy.
Mistletoe Therapy
A highly sought after treatment where tumours are present. Mistletoe subcutaneous injections may be administered before or after surgery; before, during, or after radiation, chemotherapy or hormonal therapies.
Known to have a positive effect on a person’s immune system and quality of life, it can improve tolerance of gold standard cancer treatments without decreasing their efficacy.
