Components of Alternative Cancer Treatment
Supplementation
Various clinical and scientific studies have found that many people in the western world have very low and sometimes no detectable high quality nutrients in their diet. Our modern diet tends to be largely characterized by high volumes of refined sugars, preservatives, additives, colorants, chemicals for flavor, highly refined corn syrup and unhealthy saturated fats. There also seems to be a lack of basic essential nutrients and fiber. The common diet focuses on convenience and value which causes daily nutritional deficiency, acting as a trigger for chronic diseases such as cancer.
Nutritionists and doctors have for a long time prescribed a healthy diet that includes a supplementation regime, yet for maximum effectiveness it is vital to move beyond over-the-counter supplements.
The alternative cancer treatment program at Angeles hospital has a supplementation program that uses pharmaceutical grade supplements only and has been created by a dedicated team of medical professionals. The program takes into account key factors such as the patient's genetic background, their physical state, daily activities, gender, age and the presence or absence of disease in their body.
As chronic diseases create a very challenging environment for meeting a patient's daily nutritional needs via food alone, professionally developed and supervised supplementation is often essential.
Based on the patient's medical history, their lab work and specific medical tests, the Functional Medicine team creates a supplement plan that is optimized for the patient's specific health needs and challenges. The supplementation plan is regularly reviewed and modified as the body heals.
Amino acid IV therapy
Amino acids are molecules that make up the building blocks of proteins. They are essential to many functions, including metabolic balance, energy production, the transport and mobilization of waste, immune support and activation, and cellular communication. During their treatment patients have a medically balanced formula of essential and complementary amino acids that is administered by IV. This form of treatment means all amino acids enter the blood stream directly with no risk of stomach absorption.
Essential fatty acid IV therapy
The focus on weight loss and health fads in the West causes many to opt for low or reduced fat options or sometimes even fat free food products.
This oversimplified approach to healthy eating is very flawed. The assumption is that all dietary fat is equally bad, but many fats are actually essential for our good health. Healthy fats have an important role, functioning as the building blocks of the cellular membranes, as well forming an important part of the nerve cell. They help the propagation of nervous conduction or stimuli. The human brain is actually mostly made up of fats.
The alternative cancer treatment program at Angeles hospital is designed to support and enhance these vital functions by using essential fatty acids, which are also administered via IV therapy.
