Integrative Cancer Care
Our expert cancer care team combines evidence-based integrative therapies with clinical experience to help our patients achieve better outcomes and true Radiant Health & Wellness.
Overview
Understanding Integrative Cancer Care
Cancer is a complex and multifaceted disease. This means that to best achieve our short-term and long-term goals, our approach needs to be equally multi-dimensional.
At Radiant Health & Wellness, we understand that to provide you or your loved one with the best care possible, an integrative approach that treats the whole person and engages their physical and mind-body aspects of healing is paramount.
As evidence for integrative medicine continues to grow, we can formulate a personalized protocol that honours traditionally naturopathic principles of truly healing the whole person – mind, body, and spirit – whilst effectively utilizing evidence-based or evidence-informed therapies to meet our goals.
At Radiant Health & Wellness, we provide whole-person and patient-centred care in a collaborative effort with your health care team – including your oncologist and MD.

A New Cancer Paradigm
A new cancer paradigm is emerging. One that effectively combines conventional standard of care with integrative therapies and patient-centred options. Naturopathic cancer treatments serve to improve patient disease outcomes (decrease metastasis, reduce drug resistance, optimize conventional therapies, and improve survival) and increase quality of life along the way and after treatment.
Disease prevention – a core naturopathic principle – is also a focus and is essential in cases of primary prevention and secondary prevention (recurrence). According to Cancer.gov, the national economic burden associated with cancer care was $21.09 billion in the United States in 2019. We believe that disease prevention not only can result in a better quality of life for patients, but also supports our communities, economy, and society altogether.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Explore some of the most common questions our patients ask about Integrative Cancer Care.
Can I use Naturopathic Treatments while using conventional treatments?
The combination of many naturopathic cancer therapies and conventional therapies (chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery) can be used safely and effectively. However, many naturopathic therapies can interact unfavourably with conventional care, which necessitates an expert in naturopathic oncology to oversee your care and ensure that your therapies are safe for use in combination.
When natural therapies are used effectively in conjunction with conventional care, patients typically experience improved quality of life, fewer and less severe potential side effects, increased survival, and a reduced risk of recurrence.
At Radiant Health & Wellness, our mission is to educate you on all your options so you can make informed decisions regarding your health and well-being. A mission of ours is to offer everyone this opportunity and, therefore, to provide complimentary 15-minute consults to answer introductory questions about your diagnosis, candidacy for integrative options, and, when applicable, to help you start your journey back to health with one of our Board Certified Naturopathic Doctors.
