How to choose a cancer centre or cancer specialist 

One of the things people with cancer often say is that everyone they know seems to have something to recommend drink this, take that, see this person who does this amazing therapy, stop eating that stuff, start eating this. It can be overwhelming.

The great danger is that cancer patients then try to do too much, taking a bit of everything. A touch of panic can set in, a fear that they might be missing someting. They are at their most vulnerable a time when they can be ’sold’ the quack therapies of the unscrupulous.

That is why we recommend that you find a practitioner / clinic where you can get an integrated programme under the guidance of one dedicated specialist, who is a real professional with experience of your cancer.

What is Integrative Oncology?

Integrative medicine combines conventional Western medicine with complementary and alternative treatments that have been researched and proven to be safe and effective in healing. Integrative oncology uses integrative medicine as part of standard cancer care.

"Integrative oncology is a practice where we use lifestyle medicine like dietary modifications, stress reduction, exercise, supplements and mind-body practices," says Stacy D'Andre, M.D., a Mayo Clinic medical and integrative oncologist. "We combine all of these practices to help our cancer patients improve quality of life and hopefully improve treatment outcomes, as well."

Integrative oncology is a patient-centered, evidence-based field of cancer care that utilizes mind and body practices, natural products, and/or lifestyle modifications from different traditions alongside conventional cancer treatments. Integrative oncology aims to optimize health, quality of life, and clinical outcomes across the cancer care continuum and to empower people to prevent cancer and become active participants before, during, and beyond cancer treatment.

But which - or who do you choose? 

First of all, you could begin by treating all of the clinics and specialists listed as though you are interviewing them for a very important position (which is, in fact, exactly what you are doing!)

Then there are some key questions to be asked.

  1. How many patients have been treated with your sort of cancer at the level and stage of your cancer?

  2. What have the results been?  You need specifics on this, for example, how many patients are still being monitored/checked in on?  How long have they been monitored for? What kind of regime did they do? 

  3. When the programme hasn’t worked, what have the factors been that led to that?

  4. How long do I need to do this programme for?

  5. How easy is it to do at home?

  6. Will I need help to do it at home?

  7. How much will it all cost? Factor in consultancy fees, travel, cost of supplements and different treatments over the time you might be doing the programme.

  8. Do you LIKE the practitioner and feel you could have a good relationship with them?  It’s really important that you trust the person/organisation and their style of working fits well with yours. 

  9. Do they have anyone they could refer you to to discuss their experience?  This is especially important if you are going abroad for your treatment.  Finding someone at home who has been there and done it can be very reassuring.

Some people have found it helpful to get a friend or two to do the initial checking out.  Then you can compare the information you get before making your own personal contact.

10 Best Supplements to Fight Cancer: Evidence Based Literature Review (2024)

By Dr Frank Yap, M.D.
Image
The quest for cancer prevention and treatment has been shrouded in ambiguity when it comes to the world of diet, lifestyle and dietary supplements. The bewildering array of options leaves us questioning their efficacy, for without robust scientific evidence, their true potential remains enigmatic.  Can foods and diet influence your risk of getting cancer? What types of foods reduce your risk and types that might increase your risk? What about vitamin and mineral supplements? Can supplements reduce your cancer risk or do they actually increase your cancer risk?  The term anti-cancer supplements can be a little misleading. Some supplements may help reduce a person’s risk of developing cancer or support the body during cancer treatment. This article compiles over 200 references and supporting studies related to cancer and the ...

Ivermectin to Treat Cancer in Humans (2024)

By Dr Frank Yap, M.D.
Image
Ivermectin is a widely used antiparasitic drug that's listed on the World Health Organization's essential medicines list 1   and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In low- and middle-income countries, ivermectin is commonly used to treat parasitic diseases including onchocerciasis (river blindness), strongyloidiasis and other diseases caused by soil-transmitted helminthiasis, or parasitic worms. 2 The drug is also used to treat scabies and lice. It's estimated that the total number of ivermectin doses distributed is equal to one-third of the world's population and, as such, "ivermectin at the usual doses (0.2–0.4 mg/kg) is considered extremely safe for use in humans." 3 Ivermectin also has demonstrated antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties and made headlines for its potential role in treating COVID-19 4  — although much of the positive press has been censored and falsely labeled misinformation. 5  Now researchers are highlighting another p...

Top 12 Cancer Fighting Supplements of 2024: 1,000+ Studies Analyzed - Part 1

By Dr Frank Yap, M.D.
Image
Can supplements, diet, and lifestyle influence cancer risk? Can you supplement your way out of cancer? The true story of cancer-fighting supplements is out there. We have compiled and analysed over 1,000 research studies, journal sources, and peer-reviewed papers to uncover the truth. This article dives into the research to answer critical questions: Supplement Savvy:  Can vitamins and minerals help, or even hinder, cancer prevention? Beyond the "Anti-Cancer" Label:  This term can be misleading. We'll discuss supplements that may play a role in both prevention and supporting treatment. Many studies have showed that simple diet and lifestyle changes and natural compounds can actually “reprogram” cancer cells…and shut off some of their most notorious defense mechanisms. Current AI (artificial intelligence) tools like ChatGPT, Gemini from Google and Copilot from Microsoft might return generic answers to your questions. While these can be a starting point, they often lack the...

POPULAR Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy  (HBOT) Low cellular oxygen levels are a critical trademark of solid tumors. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy entails breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized, controlled environment. The air pressure during this treatment is 1.5 times higher than normal air pressure. This results in oxygenating the blood and tissues throughout the body, which can help fight bacteria and promote healing. Scientific evidence suggests hyperbaric oxygen is safe for cancer patients to use. Furthermore, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has tumor-inhibitory effects on cancer. Treatment use: Patients are recommended to use this 60-minute treatment based on doctors’ recommendations. It is recommended to open and close the mouth several times when pressurizing and depressurizing the chamber.     Hyperthermia  Therapy Hyperthermia is defined as raising the temperature of the whole body or a part of the body above normal for a defined period of time.

Fenbendazole and Metastatic Cancer: the 2021 Stanford University Case Series

By Dr Frank Yap, M.D.
Image
What is the "Stanford Fenbendazole Protocol"? I bet you've never heard of the "Stanford Fenbendazole Protocol" for treating Cancer. Yet, it exists. But it's heavily suppressed by search engines and mainstream Oncology, especially in the United States and Canada. In 2021 a group at Stanford University Medical Center, Department of Medicine, published a Case Series (Clin. Oncol. Case Rep 2021)* on a "forbidden" repurposed drug, Fenbendazole. *Note: Clinical Oncology Case Reports is a peer-reviewed International clinical and medical oncology and cancer research Journal. Clinical Oncology Case Reports (COCR) is a high-impact multidisciplinary journal focus on the area of clinical and medical investigation. They wrote about 3 cases of Stage 4 Cancer patients who self-treated and cured their cancers.   Case 1: 63 year old man with a Stage 4 Renal Cell Carcinoma (clear cell) , a 5.3cm mass and mets to pancreas and bone, failed 3 lines of chemo.

The Truth About Colonoscopy: Be informed before giving consent (Part 1)

By Dr Frank Yap, M.D.
Image
Colonoscopy is the most commonly used method to screen for colon cancer, which is said to account for around 10% of all cancers globally. It is second leading cause of cancer death in men and women [combined] in the U.S.   As of 2020 , approximately 69% of adults aged 50 to 75 years have had a least one colonoscopy, representing 62.3 million people. Colon cancer is usually diagnosed when a person is in their 60s and it is more common in African Americans. For more stats about colon cancer  go here. A Short History of Colonoscopes The first fiberoptic colonoscope was developed by Drs. William Wolff and Hiromi Shinya of Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City in 1969. This was a huge leap forward over a rigid pipe, called a sigmoidoscope, previously used to peer into the rectum of patients who had signs of cancer. The flexible scope allows the practitioner to examine the entire length of the colon. By 1973, more than 5,000 colonoscopies had been performed, demonstrating...

Eat These Foods to Starve Cancer Cells to Death

By Dr Frank Yap, M.D.
Image
Some people may not realize this, but many people have cancer cells in their bodies without presenting much danger. Fortunately, there are some common foods that can cut off cancer cell’s nutrient supply and starve them to death. Autopsies of individuals who died of trauma often reveal microscopic colonies of cancer cells , also known as in situ tumors. Some people call them “disease-free cancers.” For instance,  researchers  in Denmark performed autopsies on women aged 40 to 50, who  never  had cancer during their lifetime, and found that 39 percent of them had small cancerous lesions in their breasts. Only 1 percent of women in this age group would be diagnosed with breast cancer. Examination  of some men in their 60s showed that 46 percent of them had histological evidence of prostate cancer, which is consistent with the findings of the autopsy study. However, the prevalence of prostate cancer in men aged 60 to 70 is actually around 1 percent....

Intermittent Fasting and Cancer: Martial Arts Instructor Shares Experience Reversing Stage 3 Colon Cancer

By Dr Frank Yap, M.D.

About four months after being diagnosed with stage 3   colorectal cancer , Fred Evrard was told by his smiling doctor: “Mr. Evrard, you are cancer free.” A lot had happened in just four months. Stage 3 Colon Cancer Hit When His Body Was at Its Peak On Sept. 10, 2020, Fred Evrard, aged 48, experienced a devastating blow in his life—he was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer, and the tumor in his body reached 10 centimeters in length. The news came as a real surprise to Evrard, a strong athletic martial arts instructor. Evrard has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Over the past few decades, he has been active in various fitness activities such as boxing, parkour, tai chi, qigong, and meditation, in addition to teaching martial arts classes. His body was in prime shape when he was diagnosed, weighing 70 kg (154 lbs) with only nine percent body fat. His lifestyle and diet were also extremely healthy in the eyes of ordinary people.
