About Cancer Treatments
Dr. Kellman’s expertise in using herbs in the right combination and in the right way is why his adjunctive program is so successful. Although many supplements, botanicals, herbs, and other natural compounds are widely available and generally safe for healthy individuals, treatments can become more complex when you are addressing cancer. It is critical to work with someone like Dr. Kellman who has the experience and research-based knowledge on what to use and when. Further, Dr. Kellman regularly works with his patients’ oncologists and other members of the healthcare team to ensure they are working cohesively toward their one goal, which is remission.
Dr. Kellman’s strategy is two-pronged:
- Choke the Cancer! Cancer has historically been seen as a disease of dysfunctional proliferation; (1) however recent research has shown that metabolic disorders also contribute to cancer growth. Otto Warburg showed that the metabolism and energy consumption of tumor cells varied greatly compared to non-cancerous cells. By targeting the metabolism of these cancer cells, we are effectively able to starve them, thereby killing them and reducing metastasis.
- Enhance the efficacy of concurrent treatments: Conventional therapies are highly valuable and a central component of successful cancer treatment. However, there are medicinal herbs, therapeutic botanicals, and other compounds which can help to enhance the efficacy of these treatments, in a safe and highly effective way.
Cancer Treatment Benefits
Holistic cancer treatments can help you improve your quality of life by:
- Optimizing your immune system: We can strengthen your body’s ability to fight off infections, by improving immune function.
- Targeting specific areas of the body: We use strategic therapies to target different areas of your body where you are experiencing discomfort.
- Reducing medication reliance: Over-the-counter therapies can result in side effects that wear on your immune system and decrease your energy. With holistic support, however, you can strengthen your body without the risks or common side effects of OTC medications. We can discuss the best options for you during your consultation.
- Relieving stress: With comprehensive support, you can rest assured that you are doing everything you can to support the healing process without increasing your risk of side effects.
- Increasing your energy: Elevating your energy levels can improve your daily function and help you show up with more energy in your work and personal relationships.
Candidates & Consultation
Suitable candidates for adjunctive cancer treatments often report a reduction in the side effects commonly experienced with traditional cancer therapies, as well as improved energy. During your consultation, we can discuss the best treatment options for your condition. Dr. Kellman considers the type of cancer, its progression, and your medical history to select a treatment plan that can help you feel your best. You may need to adjust your schedule to accommodate healthy meals, adequate rest, and proper hydration. Depending on your specific treatment plan, you may need to take additional steps to prepare. If this is the case, we can provide specific instructions during your consultation.
Treatment Process
Natural Compounds for Cancer Treatment
Dr. Kellman uses a wide range of complementary treatment options, which have been shown to have anti-cancer and immune-boosting effects, based on their biological mechanisms, as well as scientific studies. Sample treatment options may include the following:
- IV Therapeutic Options
- High-dose Vitamin C, which has an anti-cancer effect, while at the same time naturally boosts the immune system.
- IV phenylbutyrate has anti-cancer effects similar to chemotherapy drugs, but since it is a natural compound, it has none of the negative or all of the positive effects.
- IV Curcumin has been shown to not only improve the efficacy of conventional cancer treatments, like chemotherapy but also aid in the reduction of side effects.
- Ozone Therapy: IV therapies may be combined with Ozone, which has been shown to boost oxygen levels in the blood, which naturally enhances the body’s innate ability to fight off cancer cells.
- Repurposed drugs: These are medications that may have been developed to treat one condition, however, may also be effective at treating others, like cancer. These drugs have already been rigorously tested and are known to be safe. Further, there is research to back their therapeutic efficacy. Examples of these drugs include metformin, rapamycin, chloroquine, lovastatin, doxycycline, and many others.
- Therapeutic herbs, botanicals, phytonutrients, and other natural compounds directly target and halt the metabolism of cancer cells.
In addition to targeting the cancer itself, we also focus on reducing or eliminating the common symptoms that many patients experience while undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy, such as:
- “Chemo brain” (brain fog)
- Nausea/vomiting
- Neuropathy (tingling and numbness)
Cancer Treatment Recovery
Many cancer treatments, while lifesaving, can wreak havoc on the body and in many cases damage healthy tissue, as collateral damage to kill off cancer cells. (2) This is particularly true regarding damage done to the gut microbiome. The trillions of bacteria that reside in our gut play a vital role in maintaining a healthy gut wall, a strong immune system, as well as proper brain function. Dysbiosis of the gut can lead to inflammation, as well as damage to the gut lining. Undigested particles can leak out of the gut and into the bloodstream causing an immune response, also known as “leaky gut.” This can cause brain fog, neuropathy, as well as many other symptoms. By ensuring a balanced microbiome and a strong, healthy gut wall, we can work to improve these symptoms and boost the immune system.
Cancer Treatment Results
Many patients have gone through our program and have seen a significant improvement. Even while going through chemotherapy, radiation, and other therapies concurrently, patients reported that they had significantly fewer residual symptoms and complications post-treatment. Dr. Kellman also offers a Post Chemotherapy Program which helps patients to recover and heal once their cancer treatment has ended.
Hair Growth Treatments After Cancer
If you are struggling with hair loss from cancer, we offer several hair treatments that can help you grow thicker, healthier hair:
- Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP): With a plasma-rich extract, we can support hair growth and a healthy scalp. During the treatment, we can draw your blood, purify it in a centrifuge to extract the plasma and inject it beneath your skin to help your body generate new, thicker hair growth.
- Exosomes for Hair Regeneration: Exosomes are small, fluid-filled sacs that carry information about your body to other cells. They can help your body heal by expediting the recovery process on a cellular level. We can apply exosomes to your scalp to call attention to areas that need additional support from your body’s immune system to stimulate new hair growth.
- Sunetics: With a low-level laser light treatment, we can help your body support healthy hair follicles and stimulate new hair growth. The laser energy penetrates the skin barrier to help your follicles grow, shifting them out of dormant hair growth cycles to generate new hair growth. The treatment is painless and reduces inflammation that can lead to further hair loss.
