What is cancer therapy?

Cancer therapy includes complementary treatments for patients with cancer, easing not only the physical but also the emotional side effects caused by the disease and the accompanying procedures, medications, and therapies. 

OWM Integrative Wellness provides comprehensive and holistic integrative cancer therapy to optimize metabolic support, immune and cellular resilience, brain health, and mental well-being. 

Who benefits from cancer therapy?

The OWM Integrative Wellness team offers cancer therapy for patients in the early stages of their diagnosis and those currently undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy. 

You may benefit from OWM’s integrative cancer treatments if you’re experiencing any of the following because of your cancer:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Brain fog
• Fatigue
• Toxicities and complications from chemotherapy or radiation therapy
• Sleep problems

You may also benefit from integrative cancer therapy at OWM Integrative Wellness if you’re looking for interventions that may boost your resilience and help you improve how your body responds to your traditional cancer treatments.

What are some integrative cancer therapy treatments?

Your provider at OWM Integrative Wellness customizes your cancer therapy to best meet your needs. Treatment plans are extensive and comprehensive and last six or more weeks. 

Your integrative cancer therapy plan may include:

Intravenous (IV) therapy

IV therapy aims to improve nutritional health by administering essential amino acids, vitamins, and nutrients. 

The team offers IV nutrition therapy that contains nutrients to boost your body’s ability to fight off cancer, including high-dose vitamin C, alpha lipoic acid (ALA), and glutathione — powerful antioxidants.

Targeted hyperthermia

Targeted hyperthermia is cancer therapy being offered in “leading” countries in cancer research. It can be applied locally at a fixed point or in a generalized manner to complement traditional treatments of chemotherapy and radiation therapy to enhance its effect and sensitize the tumor to those treatments. 

Several countries already refer to this type of treatment as the 4th pillar of treatment along with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. The team at OWM Integrative Wellness uses targeted hyperthermia to assist with reducing your tumor’s activity and size, potentially making it easier for surgical removal.

Mistletoe therapy

Mistletoe contains compounds that promote tumor cell death and inhibit tumor growth. 

Nutritional therapy

The team may recommend the ketogenic diet for your cancer therapy plan. This diet inhibits cancer cell growth and weakens the cancer cells by depriving them of their preferred energy source: glucose.

 Mind-body therapy

The OWM Integrative Wellness team also provides mind-body therapy, reducing stress through meditation and breath work at the brain spa. 

IV ketamine

IV ketamine at OWM Integrative Wellness eases the psychological symptoms caused by cancer, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Naturopathic medicine

Naturopathic medicine for cancer therapy is the use of botanical and herbal medicines to reduce inflammation, improve natural detoxification, and support immune health.
