Cancer Treatment
Integrative Oncology
You or your loved one has been diagnosed with cancer. You want to use the best of natural therapies and nutrition to FIGHT BACK. Located in Michigan, we are the ONLY Supportive Care Oncology Center of this kind.
We recommend supplements—minerals, vitamins, hormones, botanicals. We work with your oncology team to use off-label drugs which have evidence in the fight against cancer, and IV therapies to prevent side effects from chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation and to optimize surgical outcomes.
Our specialists are the nation’s experts in drug-herb, and herb-herb interaction in an oncology setting.
Supplements and nutraceuticals are not well regulated by the U.S. government, which means cancer patients and their families are vulnerable when they are looking for natural therapies that may be effective. There are problems with source, contamination, dose, and questions about efficacy. In Michigan, many providers label themselves as ‘natural’, ‘holistic’, or ‘integrative’ and may even be well-meaning. The risk in not seeing a FABNO is using a natural therapy that may cause progression, or interfere with the ability of your targeted therapy, hormonal therapy, or chemo radiation to do its job.
Chemotherapy and Radiation have both short-term and long-term side effects. Our job is to design individualized plans to prevent or lessen these using natural therapies. Our goals are also to choose from the natural therapy world what has the best data that will help to fight your type of cancer when partnered with your type of conventional treatment. Once we are done with treatment, our job to lower risk of recurrence, or if we must continue, slow progression, so that our patients can live the longest, healthiest lives possible. This may include referring to cardiology, endocrinology and gastroenterology, all of whom are partnered with AIM and work extensively with cancer patients.
