I am board certified in both Internal and Integrative medicine. Using the best of traditional and non-traditional medicine, I have been treating cancer patients for over 20 years.
If you are reading this, either you or someone you love carries the heavy diagnosis of cancer. I am truly sorry that this has befallen you. I do not know why this diagnosis happens to some people but not others.
I cannot say that I have the key to a cure but what I offer are options beyond the usual traditional therapies. The treatment of cancer involves killing cancer cells but also addressing the physical, mental, and spiritual needs of the patient and family.
I am not an oncologist but, as the past Medical Director of Complementary and Alternative Medicine for the Alexian Brothers Hospital network, I have worked closely with oncologists for decades.
In my opinion, and increasingly reinforced by medical research, the best approach for optimal results is the combination of traditional and non-traditional medicine. I offer traditional medical approaches as well as intravenous vitamin therapy, massage, supplements/herbs (medical research proven benefit), nutrition recommendations, bio-energy therapies and … I listen …. I really listen. When you are here, I am the only person with you … each time.
Besides office visits, I do the intravenous therapy and the energy healing (been seeing auras since I was 3).
I look forward to helping you any way I can. We are BC/BS and Medicare providers.
