Naturopathic Cancer Therapeutics

There are a variety of natural therapeutics which have shown efficacy in supporting conventional therapeutics, directly affecting cancer progression, and reducing the risk for recurrence. Many of the therapeutics we use at MCNE are based on emerging research while some are based on hundreds of years of traditional use. There are literally hundreds of thousands of publications or websites with information on the use of natural therapeutics in cancer. Often the information can be conflicting and inaccurate. It is important that you seek the advice of an experienced health care professional with expertise in the fiels of natural cancer treatments to offer sound advice. The reality is that some natural therapeutics can negatively interfere with conventional cancer treatments. At MCNE we base our recommendations on current clinical research when deciding to combine natural therapies and conventional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation.
