We now spend 100 billion dollars worldwide on cancer drugs. They predict that we will spend $147 billion by 2018.
What driving up the spending? Earlier and more expensive treatment, new medicines and improved outcomes.
The U.S. and Europe create 66% of the entire cancer drug market. Global spending on cancer drugs has increased at a rate of 6.5% every year over the past 5 years. I wish we all got that in interest from our bank accounts.
One oncologist from Duke University says that we have a new adverse outcome in cancer care - financial toxicity. I agree.
Are the treatments working and are they worth it? If someone has cancer they want to have access to all treatment options. Depending on where you live you may or may not have access to cancer drugs as it varies by country. People in Japan and Spain had access to less than half of the medications on the market.
Naturopathic Cancer Care is based on finding the root cause of cancer and treating it.
I usually make dramatic lifestyle changes with patients - smoking cessation, removal of toxic mold, no alcohol or untested street drugs, dietary changes, increasing exercise, mindful meditation, addressing insomnia, fixing leaky gut and creating a loving support network. We follow all detoxification principles.
Cancer is a disease of poor communication. We create positive cell-to-cell communication.
We rebuild the immune system so that patients increase their vital force and strength. This is critical before using any chemotherapy whether it is standard or alternative. You want to strengthen the body so you can fight the good fight.
Ozone therapies can be valuable adjunctive cancer care. Ozone therapy increases oxygen utilization allowing oxygen into every cell. Cancer hates oxygen and ozone kills cancer cells.
Chemotherapy and radiation cause oxidative stress and a host of side effects. Several cases published in the German literature show that ozone therapy combined with standard oncology produced positive effects, decreased side effects and less resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs.
Ozone therapies can be a successful part of Naturopathic Cancer Care. If you have a diagnosis of cancer let's talk.
While chemo and radiation might be effective in individual cases it is not necessarily safe or affordable.
Ozone therapy is safe, effective and affordable.
