Cancer Therapy

At Intellectual Medicine we believe in using every credible weapon to fight cancer. Conventional medicine does a good job of directing chemotherapy, radiation and surgical treatments. Cutting and burning at times can be an essential component in the fight against cancer.

However, there is much more that can be done. Many supplements have possible value in fighting cancer. If you are like most patients, upon learning of your diagnosis you head to the Internet and read everything you can about your cancer and how to treat it. The information can be overwhelming. Every supplement and every recommended dietary pathway seems to have merit. How to select the best approach becomes a challenge. At Intellectual Medicine we believe in working with you to select the best cancer fighting supplements for your situation.

In addition to helping guide you to efficient use of oral supplements, the providers at Intellectual Medicine are experts in the use of advanced intravenous protocols for fighting cancer. There is abundant literature supporting the role of intravenous high-dose vitamin C (IVC). It has been shown to be toxic against many forms of cancer without with minimal potential for side effects. In nearly every case its use can complement the effect from conventional chemotherapy. In most cases it can be used along with conventional chemo or radiation therapy. Studies, as well as client experience, have demonstrated the potential to for IVC reduce fatigue, nausea, neuropathy and other adverse effects of treatment. The mechanism of action of IVC, as well as preliminary studies, have shown the potential for IVC to improve patient outcomes. (NOTE: definitive evidence of prolonged survival of has not been established in double blind, placebo-controlled trials. IVC is not FDA approved for the treatment of Cancer).

At Intellectual Medicine we also have cutting-edge combinations of Alpha Lipoic Acid, often used in combination with high-dose vitamin C. Each agent has a different mechanism of action that has been shown to be toxic toward cancer cells. By combining them into one treatment protocol, there is the potential for enhanced benefit.

In addition to fighting cancer, we will help support the strength and vigor of your body. Using advanced nutritional, intravenous supplements, and in some cases hormonal support, you can maintain your energy and vitality while fighting cancer.

Subcutaneous Viscum (Mistletoe) therapy is another widely used complementary treatment that supports immune function and can be used to aid in the fight.

At Intellectual Medicine, we believe that in some cases, cancer can behave less like an acute illness, and more like a chronic relapsing condition. All too often after remission has occurred, cancer will go into a period of hibernation only to come out again. At the moment of relapse, the cancer can be more difficult to treat and present in an advanced stage.

The philosophy of our approach is motivated by our appreciation that supporting your health, and your immune system, in a sustainable manner may help to give you more resilience toward a cancer relapse, or potentially from developing a second primary malignancy.

It is generally agreed that the best time to attack cancer is when it is early in its evolution. However, by the time cancer has become large enough to be seen by most imaging, it has already been growing for some time, in some cases for years. The formation of cancer cells into a tumor gives the cancer a formidable defense mechanism against being eradicated by your own immune system.

Since cancer starts at a cellular level, our “secondary prevention” theory is an attempt to attack cancer on a regular, intermittent basis when it may be at an undetectable, cellular level. We believe that the cancer is more vulnerable at this stage, before it has become symptomatic or even visible. Unlike conventional radiation and chemotherapy, treatments and therapies offered at Intellectual Medicine work with your body in a way that is non-toxic and can be used indefinitely.

It must be emphasized that doing regular infusion-based health support, Mistletoe, and oral supplement therapy is not FDA approved to prevent cancer. There have also been no double-blind placebo-controlled studies to prove its effectiveness. However, infusion-based health support is based upon laboratory research, ongoing case studies, and the known properties of intravenous Vitamin C, as well as a strong record of safety.

By joining Intellectual Medicine secondary prevention program you become part of a pioneering cohort of survivors. Not only are we targeting a longer and healthier lifespan for you individually, but your journey will become part of a contribution to the general knowledge of cancer prevention. Treatment cycles are generally organized into 6- or 12-month time frames.
