Medical Doctors Who Are Making a Difference in Cancer Treatment 06/27/11
I just returned from lecturing at the Integrative Cancer Therapy Fellowship Program in Las Vegas (modules 1 and 2) last weekend, put on by the American Academy of Anti-aging Medicine. This is the first-ever program of its kind that medical doctors can take, who are interested in using evidence-based integrative therapies to help patients with cancer. Seeing that, for most cancers, the long-term survival rate is dismal, and has remained unchanged over the past 50 years, many medical doctors are frustrated to watch their patients endure treatment with standard high-dose chemotherapy regimens and/or radiation treatments (which make them very ill, compromise their immune system and their quality of life), only to watch the cancer return and end their lives anyway.
Many doctors are exploring answers for themselves and their own family members, seeking to find research-based alternative methods that can help combat cancer, provide long-term survival outcomes, and spare individuals the toxic side effects and compromised well-being from high-dose chemotherapy and/or radiation treatments, where possible.
This Fellowship program in integrative cancer care was developed by Dr Mark Rosenberg, MD, who has incorporated many research-based therapies into his cancer treatment protocols. Dr. Rosenberg has identified and recruited other leading-edge doctors to teach in the program, who have researched a specific alternative treatment method, or are presently using integrative measures to treat cancer patients in their practice, with good success.
It is an honor for me to speak to such an enlightened group of caring and concerned physicians. Last weekend I spoke for 4-hours on Cancer: A Molecular Perspective, which provides doctors with the scientific foundation upon which many of the integrative therapies they will learn about over the next year, are based. In future blogs I will expand upon some of the stellar work these physicians are doing, in regards to leading edge treatment methods, and how they work to combat cancer.
