Alternative cancer treatments – not a ‘one or the other’ choice.

June 15, 2010 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

According to Statistics Canada, the cancer rate is on the rise. To be fair, we are better able to diagnose many forms of cancer now, and we are living longer than ever before, so more people are living with cancer.

The article that I read in the Montreal gazette quoted Heather Logan, spokesperson for the Canadian Cancer Society, as saying “that although the research is valuable, healthy living — such as not smoking and maintaining a healthy body weight” and that “about 50 per cent of cancers could be prevented if we applied what we already know and made as many of those healthy choices as easy as possible to implement”.

This is where Naturopathic Doctors using Naturopathic Medicine fit it brilliantly. We provide our patients with the time needed to implement these healthy choices. We take a holistic approach and work with our patients to reach their goals. It’s one thing to tell your patients to eat more fibre, it’s an entirely different thing to sit with them and educate them about how to do that.

More than half of all cancer cases were in the form of breast, prostate and colorectal cancer. We know that these forms of cancer are hugely related to how we live and eat.

Naturopathic Doctors can not only help on the prevention side of cancer (that is where we shine though), but also on the treatment side of cancer. If a diagnosis of breast cancer, colorectal cancer, or prostate cancer has already been given out, that does not mean that it’s too late to see an ND. We are well versed with what natural treatments are safe and effective to use with chemotherapy and radiation. In fact, there are many natural remedies that actually augment the response to specific chemo’s and reduce the likelihood of side effects.

A common misconception about Naturopathic Medicine is that it is not based in science. This is especially untrue with respect to natural cancer treatments. There is a growing body of evidence to support the use of natural medicine while undergoing more conventional treatments.

Educate yourself, and find an ND that is right for you. While I respect Oncologists and Radiologists for their body of knowledge, I also respect that natural medicine is my specialty. It’s what I know, it’s what I do, and I do it well.

Yours in health,
Kerri Fullerton ND

It’s hard to find a positive spin on the last co It’s hard to find a positive spin on the last couple weeks of events in Ontario. 

Last week I was struggling. I didn’t realize how hard I was struggling. This is hard. 

I know I’m not alone. Every patient I talk to is affected by this pandemic. You are affected.

So here, here’s one positive thing.

Spring is here. Being outside makes humans feel better. Fresh air. Opening up the windows. Sitting on a balcony. Gardening in your back yard. Taking your shoes off and walking in the grass. It’s called nature cure.

Notice trees, flowers, the buds on the hedges. 

These are simple things you can do. 

They can’t take that away from us.

Acupuncture is an ancient healing art used for a v Acupuncture is an ancient healing art used for a variety of conditions and situations in our modern world. It’s quite common for people to notice benefits like reduction of muscle pain. 

At our clinic I use acupuncture primarily for hormone regulation, infertility, and during pregnancies. 

There are acupuncture points on the body that have traditionally been used to help prepare for labour. In a recent journal review acupuncture was found to be of some benefit in improving cervical maturity.  I already knew this and have had lots of success. 

So, yes, it is a thing.
