Clients and Patients -> Getting Oriented To Cancer Prevention -> 9-Point Program For Treating And Preventing Cancer 9-Point Program For Treating And Preventing CancerAt our facility in Ann Arbor, and via email, telephone, and the web, we work with patients to create a 9-point program that will work for you. The program focuses on:1. Diet: Food is important not only in cancer prevention, but also in cancer treatment. Nutrients and phytochemicals (found in plant foods such as herbs) support immune function, hormonal balance, detoxification, and other aspects of cancer resistance. We work with you to create an eating program that will help you heal. 2. Nutraceuticals & Supplements: Nutrients, botanicals, phytochemicals, enzymes, and other substances play key roles in healing. We will help you choose the best supplements for you. 3. Exercise & Body Work: Maintenance of lean body mass (weight control without nutrient depletion) improves the chances for recovery. Aerobic exercise improves circulation and removes wastes from the body. Based on your condition, we help you integrate exercise into your daily healing routine using an exercise program that will build your stamina as well as your understanding of the positive effects of exercise. 4. Stress Reduction: Breath work, meditation (mantra based and detachment), visualization, self-hypnosis, and other relaxation techniques can improve immunity and enhance your survival prospects. Yoga and some forms of massage enhance the flow of the body's internal healing energies, and help rest the nervous system.We help you build stress reduction into your healing program as a major tool for correcting the dysfunctions in your autonomic nervous system. 5. Cancer as a Turning Point: The word for crisis in Chinese is translated as "opportunity riding the dangerous wind". Personal growth can arise from what is otherwise a negative experience. Seeing the cancer challenge as an opportunity to move one's lifestyle toward health and wholeness increases the likelihood of being healed. We help you learn to make the most of this opportunity. 6. Enjoyment in Life: Finding pleasure and fun which is safe and wholesome is life giving, and supports the will to live. Love is the universal nectar which heals our wounds and moves us toward wholeness. We work with you to release the blocks that are keeping you from fully enjoying your life and letting in love. 7. Emotional Well-Being: We help you identify the behavioral and emotional response patterns that interfere with a healthy immune and autonomic system. Suppression of fear, sadness, anger, resentment or despair reduces your chances of healing. We help you identify the emotions that are interfering with a healthy immune system. 8. Trust and Optimism: These are the keys to healing. Having faith in your own capacity to choose what is best for you is essential to the healing process. We will teach you how to become and remain an active participant in your own healing, and not just a passive recipient of some curative approach given to you by someone else. 9. Complementary Treatment: Integrative medicine is an approach that allows you to choose the best that is available from an array of methods that suits the individual situation. The judicious use of chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation when it is augmented by a comprehensive program of health promotion is ideal for the recovery from cancer. We will help you evaluate your treatment options. Call us at 734-973-8700 or use our Contact Us form |
