With the aim of “Feel Better, Live Longer”, Integrative Cancer Care is a new addition to KIHC. This program is managed by Dr. Naghmeh Mirhosseini, ND.
My Approach:
I support patients with cancer by applying evidence-based, individualized, whole-person care, using naturopathic medicine. These therapies can be beneficial at each stage of the disease, from cancer prevention, through all types of conventional treatment including chemotherapy and radiation therapy, into active survival and palliative care. Integrative Cancer Care is complementary with conventional care provided by oncologists, and always welcomes a collaborative approach.
I consider each person’s unique needs and offer individualized treatment recommendations based on lab assessments, physical examinations, a full medical history, and review of current health challenges. The naturopathic therapeutic toolbox for cancer care is comprehensive and involves modification in diet and lifestyle as well as herbal and supplemental regimes, and acupuncture. In the future, intravenous infusion therapy might be added to our cancer care toolbox at KIHC.
Some potential benefits of integrative cancer care:
- Reduced side-effects and improved tolerance of conventional treatment
- Improved quality of life, including by increasing energy, reducing pain, and improving appetite
- Improved efficacy of conventional treatment
- Reduced risk of cancer recurrence
- Education and support for patients and their family.
Intravenous (IV) Therapy for cancer:
IV Therapy is an important treatment option for many types of cancer. It is safely used alongside conventional cancer treatments to target cancer cells directly, or to reduce side-effects and promote recovery from chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
