Our Comprehensive Treatment Program
The Center for Advanced Medicine focuses on science-based integrative cancer treatments. This means that we do not abandon conventional therapies such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. After all, these treatments have the most evidence for their use. However, we believe that these treatments can often be optimized and enhanced. This is where alternative therapies such as localized hyperthermia, sono-photodynamic therapy, repurposed medications, lymphatic drainage therapy, nutrition, and mind-body therapy come into play. Based on testing, research, and our clinical experience, we use these tools to develop a personalized treatment plan for each patient.
- Chemotherapy: Utilizing chemotherapy in more frequent and lower doses, with techniques like insulin potentiation therapy (IPT) for safer administration.
- Immunotherapy: Leveraging the body’s immune system to fight cancer.
- Surgery and Radiation: Implementing the most advanced techniques for targeted effectiveness.
- Dose Matters: The careful calibration of treatments, acknowledging that the right dose can enhance efficacy and reduce side effects.
- IV Mistletoe Therapy: A natural approach that supports conventional treatments.
- Lymphatic Therapy: Stimulating the body’s lymphatic system for optimal functioning.
- Nutritional Guidance: Personalized nutritional plans to boost overall wellness
- Personalized Protocols: Each patient’s treatment plan is designed to cater to their unique needs, avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach.
- Ethical Communication: We provide hope without compromising honesty, ensuring that patients know exactly what to expect.
- Coordinated Attack: Our integrative strategy ensures a coordinated attack on cancer, combining various modalities for optimal outcomes.
- Cost Transparency: No hidden fees, just upfront and clear communication about what our program includes and costs.
- Community Building: Our patients often become lifelong friends, thanks to our communal infusion rooms and unique community atmosphere.

Dose Matters
Low Dose Chemotherapy continues to be a force for treatment evolution in Oncology. Dose defines the difference between medicine and poison, help or harm.
Mind-Body Medicine
Modern studies continue to illuminate the complex and powerful role that the mind plays in immunomodulation and inflammation regulation
Scientists have been questioning the “more is better” approach to chemotherapy for quite some time. The way we use chemo differs dramatically from conventional oncology. There are several distinct advantages to this approach of giving smaller doses more often.
Insulin potentiation therapy, or IPT, affects the metabolism of cancer cells, making them more sensitive to chemotherapy agents (thus the reason for using significantly less chemotherapy). While we do not think it is appropriate for everyone, it can be an option for patients who have either failed full-dose chemotherapy previously, are not candidates for full-dose chemotherapy or who prefer to try a gentler and safer approach.

The lymphatic system plays a key role in the immune system’s ability to do its job, while also helping the body’s detoxification efforts. Lymphatic drainage therapy aims to address lymphatic congestion so that the lymphatic system can work optimally. Learn More
We know there is a real connection between our thoughts and emotions and our immune system. But what about cancer? Harnessing the power of the mind has significant therapeutic implications when fighting cancer. It turns out that our mental and emotional state can impact cancer treatment. Learn More
Viscum (the genus that mistletoe belongs to) use for cancer is mentioned in the literate starting in the early 1900s. Dr. Ita Wegman around 1920 first developed its use as an injectable agent for cancer. Research has subsequently shown that Viscum has several notable effects. Learn More
Did you know that there are medications other than chemotherapy which have shown promise as anticancer agents? Such medications were approved for a non-cancer indication, but found in subsequent research to target cancer cells in a unique way. In an effort to target cancer as thoroughly as possible, we willingly utilize some of these medications in our treatment protocols. Because they are not FDA approved to treat cancer, we are using them in repurposed fashion. Repurposing medications entails using them in “off-label” fashion for a use which is separate from its FDA approved indication. Learn More
Cancer cells have been shown to have an abnormal resonance that differs from normal, healthy cells. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) is a simple, painless, and non-invasive way to address abnormal resonance in cancer cells. In addition, PEMF has been shown to assist in making cell membranes more permeable. Learn More
Sono-photodynamic therapy, or SPDT, combines sound (sono) and light (photo) to target cancer cells. A sensitizing agent is infused, which collects inside cancer cells and make them susceptible to specific frequencies of sound and wavelengths of light. These non-toxic treatments harm cancer cells by creating reactive oxygen species (ROS). Learn More
