Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrative cancer treatment, combining conventional allopathic drug, radiation and surgical approaches with naturopathic complementary and alternative strategies, is an innovative model of cancer care that empowers patients to participate in their own healing process. Naturopathic medicine is well known for helping to prevent cancer using lifestyle counseling and detoxification, but can also complement conventional treatment modalities using clinical nutrition and botanical medicine. The integration of these treatment strategies improves the outcome of the cancer and the quality of life of the patient. This textbook is designed to introduce medical college and health science students to this integrative approach to oncology. Part 1 reviews basic cancer cell biology and inflammatory pathway biochemistry, tracing the development of an abnormal cell into a cancer cell. Various theories of cell mutation are examined with the focus on inflammatory pathway biochemistry. Conventional chemo- and radiation therapies are analyzed in this context, as are the key naturopathic cancer treatment modalities, clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, and lifestyle counseling. These naturopathic therapies are shown to enhance the efficacy of chemo- and radio therapies and ameliorate side effects, safely. Part 2 presents common types of cancer in terms of their epidemiology and pathophysiology, leading to a discussion of their possible etiology, diagnosis, staging, and conventional treatment protocols. Naturopathic recommendations for each cancer are included with integrative applications. These recommendations have chemo/radio specific indications and contraindications. Within the individual chapters on cancer types, case histories of patients who have been managed integratively are presented so students can develop case management and clinical reasoning skills. Students are encouraged to work in small teams while solving these cases and drawing up management plan. The extensive references at the end of each chapter are augmented with a resources section at the back of the book. Taken together, this is the most complete and current list of integrative and naturopathic research in medical literature on cancer. Students should find these references to be an excellent springboard for new laboratory studies and for clinical application. Fully referenced, illustrated, and indexed, this textbook is the first effort to establish oncology as a fundamental subject of stu

This second edition of the highly successful Integrative Oncology provides the reader with the most updated information available with new chapters on Music and Expressive Arts Therapies, Naturopathic Oncology, and an integrative approach to Lung Cancer. Integrative medicine is defined as healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person (body, mind, and spirit) as well as all aspects of lifestyle; it emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use of appropriate therapies, both conventional and alternative.

Each volume focuses on a particular specialty and features well-recognized and authoritative editors and chapter authors. The text is presented in an easy-to-read format featuring case histories, clinical pearls, and useful tables, with all key information highlighted. Series editor Andrew Weil, MD, is Professor and Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dugald Seely (1,2), Julie K Ennis (1,2), Ellen McDonell (1,2), Linlu Zhao (1,2)(1) Ottawa Integrative Cancer Centre, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; (2) Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, Toronto, Ontario, CanadaBackground: There is a lack of clear information regarding the types and goals of treatments recommended by Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) for thoracic cancer care (lung, gastric and esophageal cancers). Objectives: NDs were surveyed to: (i) identify the most common therapeutic recommendations for thoracic cancer care; (ii) identify the most common interventions used to support key treatment goals; and (iii) identify contraindications between integrative and conventional therapies.Methods: Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians (OncANP) members (n=351) were invited to complete an electronic survey. Respondents provided information on recommendations considered for thoracic cancer care pre- and post-operatively across 4 domains (natural health products (NHPs), physical, mental/emotional, nutritional), treatment goals and contraindications. This survey was part of the development of the Thoracic Perioperative Integrative Surgical Evaluation (POISE) trial. Results: Forty-four NDs completed the survey (12.5% response rate), all of whom were trained in North America and the majority of whom were Fellows of the American Board of Naturopathic Oncology (FABNO; 56.8%). NDs selected significantly more interventions in the post-op compared to pre-op setting. The most frequently selected interventions included modified citrus pectin, arnica, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, probiotics, exercise, acupuncture, meditation, stress reduction, low glycemic index diet and Mediterranean diet. For each of 10 pre-defined therapeutic goals, between 4 and 22 interventions were selected by at least 20% of respondents. Nine interventions were identified as meeting u22655 therapeutic goals (omega-3 fatty acids, exercise, anti-inflammatory diet, meditation, acupuncture, probiotics, arnica, visualization and turmeric. The consistency of reporting of contraindications around conventional treatment (surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy) differed across NHPs. Conclusion: These findings highlight naturopathic interventions with a high level of practical usage in thoracic cancer care, describe and characterize therapeutic goals, the most common interventions used to achieve these goals and provide insight on how practice changes relative to conventional cancer treatment phase.
