Our approach to Integrative Medicine is to explore the full scope of physical, emotional, environmental, mental, social, and spiritual influences that affect each person individually.
Integrative Cancer Care
We offer integrative cancer care services geared towards patients at any and every stage of their cancer journey. Our team in San Diego includes doctors with specialized training and years of experience in naturopathic oncology.
Naturopathic Oncology is the application of the art and science of naturopathic medicine to the field of cancer care and treatment. Our goal is to offer scientifically proven natural cancer care to ensure optimal quality of life, augment and support patients going through conventional treatment, strengthen the immune system and enhance the body’s inherent ability to fight the cancer, along with preventing occurrence and recurrence of cancer.
Our Cancer Treatments and Services
As Naturopathic Doctors, we treat the whole person. Our integrative medical care model includes natural non-toxic therapies administered either orally and/or intravenously, nutritional and other lifestyle guidance, managing stress, offering emotional support and help in developing the patient’s spiritual toolbox in enhancing health and well-being. We strive to ensure that all aspects of the patient’s health are being addressed.
Cancer can only develop in the body if it has the right terrain to do so. Our therapies are geared towards changing the internal and external milieu so that tumor cells no longer have the ability to thrive.
Integrative Cancer Care and Conventional Medicine
We encourage collaboration and open communication with oncologists and other conventional health professionals to coordinate care and treatment so that optimal effects of both natural and conventional modalities may be achieved. Nutraceuticals are one of the fundamental integrative oncology treatments we provide our patients. They are designed specifically to minimize the side effects of chemotherapy. Many natural therapies synergestically enhance the effects of conventional treatment, thus allowing reduction of tumor growth to be achieved more quickly and with fewer side effects.
Once our patient has become a “Cancer Conqueror,” our goal is to support the patient in maintaining a lifestyle which encourages maintaining health and ensures that the internal terrain does not support growth of aberrant cells.
Our therapies are geared to addressing factors which may lead to the development of cancer such as acidity, oxidative stress, internal inflammation, insulin resistance-metabolic syndrome, lack of physical activity, heavy metal toxic load, and psychological and spiritual inflammation. The earlier these factors are addressed in the body, the more preventable cancer is. We identify these and other risk factors in all patients who come to us. The focus is on creating an external and internal healthy environment, along with using safe natural therapies to strengthen the body’s immune system and inherent natural ability to heal itself.

Good news is worthy of sharing, so we are! We want to express our gratitude to one of our dear Lotus Family members, Crystal, who generously shares her story of success conquering cancer!
Dear LotusRain family,|
I’m writing to give you an update and tell you thank you for all your help.
I first came to LotusRain after being diagnosed with a rare bone cancer. A large tumor was eating away the bone on my sacrum. I was in a lot of pain. I couldn’t sit on my bum, so the staff gave me a private room where I could take my infusions laying down on my stomach. I always appreciated this accommodation. My nurse Febe took great care of me and was always so amazing at finding a vein in my arm.
I saw Dr. Reese every 3 months or so. Radiation has taken a huge toll on my body, and she helped me on so many levels. She recommended a cannabis nurse (Elizabeth) who helped me with my pain. Dr. Reese also helped me get my hormones back into balance and she helped me with my digestive issues. She gave me several supplements to take to help fight the cancer. She called to check up on me regularly.
Three years after my initial diagnosis, and despite never having had surgery to remove the tumor, my oncologist has declared “no evidence of disease” on my last report in July.
I am back to surfing, traveling internationally, cycling, hiking, doing all the things I could do before the diagnosis.
The LotusRain staff was a huge help in my recovery. Thank you so much!!! I am forever grateful.
Love,
Crystal Carothers
THANK YOU Crystal, for letting us be a part of your journey. Keep living your best life and riding the biggest waves! Blessings, our friend!
