Natural medicine can undoubtedly improve your cancer treatment, from the time of your diagnosis throughout your treatment and beyond.

If you are considering using natural medicine as a part of your cancer treatment, the main question you need to ask yourself is:  should I choose an alternative or an integrative approach?

By definition, an alternative approach uses natural medicine instead of all forms of conventional cancer treatment.  We’d like to be clear on this point:  alternative cancer treatment is not supported by ANY reliable evidence and it should not be considered as a viable replacement for conventional cancer treatment.  Integrative cancer treatement, on the other hand, is something VERY different.

By definition, an integrative approach uses natural medicine alongside of conventional cancer treatment.  Integrative natural medicine has substantial and evergrowing evidence to support its use.  Available evidence shows us the integrative approach can reduce the unwanted side effects of conventional treatment, it can improve the effectiveness of conventional treatment, and it can reduce the risk of cancer recurrence after treatment is done.  This is the true power of integrative natural cancer support.

Another question:  what exactly do we mean by natural cancer support?

At Wellness Working Group, natural cancer support includes comprehensive lifestyle medicine encompassing whole-food nutrition, therapeutic exercise, sleep optimization, stress management, mindfulness practices, and environmental medicine and detoxification.  Natural cancer suppot also includes botanical remedies and medicinal mushrooms used as food, standardized extracts, teas, tinctures, and essential oils, as well as nutritional supplements like amino acids, fatty acids, minerals, probiotics, and vitamins.
