Our Integrative Role
We provide education, reduction of side effects, post -treatment rebuilding, and extensive support for those living with cancer. We work to strengthen the body’s natural immune pathways, improve the body’s internal environment, empower the individual and their family through education, and work closely with your conventional medical team to potentiate the direct killing of cancer cells.
Human Nature Natural Health offers thorough, safe, compassionate, and cutting edge care to ensure that you and your family have access to the most modern and effective natural cancer therapies available today. We will work in close coordination with other parts of your cancer care team, including family members, general physician, medical and/or radiation oncologists, surgeon, care manager, and other health practitioners. We will work with you in all stages of your treatment.
We work with you to help you stay nutritionally fortified - one of the most positive ways to take control of your life and your well-being. Optimal nutrition allows your body to function at its best. Maintaining optimal nutrition can provide several benefits for people living with cancer, including:
• Support immune function
• Preserve lean body cell mass
• Rebuild body tissue
• Decrease your risk of infection
• Improve energy, well-being and overall quality of life
• Improve your tolerance to treatment
• Help you recuperate faster after treatment
• Improve quality of life
Human Nature Natural Health provides expert naturopathic care for patients with cancer or those with an interest in cancer prevention. We welcome patients at every stage of diagnosis and treatment. Whether newly diagnosed, currently receiving conventional treatment (including chemotherapy, biological therapies, radiation and pre-/post-surgery), in remission or with advanced disease, individuals facing the difficulties of cancer have a great resource in Human Nature Natural Health.
