Prostate Cancer Treatment
Prostate cancer is a multi-faceted disease, and there are various effective types of cancer treatment. Conventional approaches such as chemotherapy and radiation should not be used continually because of their high toxicity. The side effects of these treatments, such as immune suppression and secondary malnutrition, may worsen the prognosis as cancer cells can then grow rapidly. This opens the door to an abundant field of alternative, holistic and integrative prostate cancer treatment options at Sanoviv.
Pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have failed to produce more than a handful of useful therapies for prostate cancer, however, many people still assume that the only options for treating cancer are the mainstream therapies of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.
Fortunately, we now have research on how prostate cancer cells work and propagate, as well as what can be done in the integrative medicine setting to interfere with this disease process. At Sanoviv, we will learn about your body, your medical, genetic, and environmental history, and guide you to the most effective cancer treatments for your prostate.
The Sanoviv approach is unique as it combines alternative, holistic and integrative therapies that are usually not considered by conventional doctors for prostate cancer.
Here is an overview of some of the most effective prostate cancer treatments we have found. Our objective is to support your own defenses, regulate hormonal levels for optimal health, kill cancer cells, detoxify your body and improve your overall well being.
- One effective prostate cancer treatment is to starve cancer cells of foods that will promote their multiplication. At Sanoviv we serve 100% organic food to ensure we are not adding to your toxicity load. Based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, we believe in using the energy in food to promote health and to help your body heal. Part of our program includes learning healthy eating habits and recognizing unhealthy eating and cooking patterns. This program is provided by professional certified Nutritionists and your menu and home programs are personalized to your individual metabolic type.
- Immunotherapy is based on biological immune system modifiers/stimulators, medications and biological vaccine treatments. It is an integrative treatment to modify, modulate and stimulate your body's regular immune system function and mechanisms, so that your natural healing systems can recognize and eliminate cancer cells.
- The detoxification pathways of the human body are a network of enzymes and enzyme systems; theses pathways help protect cells from reactive oxygen species such as free radicals. Enzymes work to detoxify a wide range of cancer-causing chemicals which may have implications in the reduction of cancer expansion and recurrence. A frequent contributor toprostate cancer is toxicity, therefore eliminating the exposure to toxins and encouraging the detoxification systems of the body to be at their best is a potent strategy for healing. Clinical trials in the use of enzyme therapy have shown that enzyme combinations can mitigate side effects from chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, contributing to improvement in the patient's quality of life.
- Tumor hypoxia or lack of oxygen in tumor cells has proven to be a factor for poor prognosis in a person living with cancer. Cancer cells cannot survive in an oxygenated environment. Oxygen therapy is an alternative cancer treatment used to help fight cancer cells and reduce side effects from conventional cancer treatments. Many researchers believe that a lack of oxygen in our cells is one of the primary causes of cancer. An impressive variety of new ways to introduce oxygen into the body is emerging. Flooding cells with oxygen may retard the growth of cancer cells or even help to return them to normal and maintain healthy cells at their normal functioning level.
- Holistic and alternative cancer treatment has relied on nutrition and supplementation to aid in healing cancer for years. At Sanoviv, nutraceutical supplementation provides essential minerals, vitamins and antioxidants to improve nutritional deficiencies, fight free radicals, promote detoxification and support a effective biochemical balance in your body.
- Modern Homeopathy known as Homotoxicology offers a holistic cancer treatment to aid in the fight against prostate cancer, as progressive deterioration of the body's own cleansing system leads to gradual compromise of the defensive mechanisms. Reversing this process will have great value in the fight against cancer cells, helping the body recapture its lost biological ability to compete against the invasive cells.
- Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive, positive mind and spirit will help the prostate cancer patient's fight against cancer. A constant pattern of anger, resentment and bitterness can put the body into a stressful environment. At Sanoviv, you will learn from our integrative health care team how to promote a loving and forgiving mind, body and spirit, creating a positive physiological impact to your body through psychospiritual support.
- Exercise is also very important to aid blood circulation and oxygenation. Exercise programs are tailored to suit the individual's needs and abilities. Practices such as Yoga are very beneficial, as it has demonstrated mental and physical benefits for cancer patients in several medical studies.
