Working directly with your oncologist we can assist with the important areas of cancer care that support traditional oncology.  The person with cancer can receive qualified help on what can be done to safely and effectively support their conventional cancer treatments.   

We work to evaluate and address key issues that affect cancer care: oxidative stress, immune system function, natural inflammatory response, detoxification, and if applicable, hormonal balance.  Holistic treatment plans are created to address your specific situation, response to conventional medical treatments and personal risk factors.  IV (intravenous) nutrient therapy, including high dose Vitamin C (and other nutrients) is available as part of the supportive treatments that can help the body withstand the conventional medical treatments for cancer including chemotherapy, radiation and speed recovery from surgery.

We can assist you with natural integrative approaches that compliment your traditional cancer care.  This includes guidance on which supplements and nutrients are indicated for certain types of cancer and the timing for maximizing the benefits that natural medicines may offer when used during the same general time period as conventional allopathic cancer treatments.  Our services also include assessing whether certain supplements, nutrients, vitamins, minerals or herbs are contraindicated during specific cancer trreatments or should be avoided altogether. 

If you or someone you know is looking for professional assistance with creating a cancer prevention treatment plan, Dr. Yates can work with the person seeking help to put together a comprehensive, specific plan that includes a holistic, alternative approach in addressing all elements of a person's life and lifestyle choices.
