Integrative Oncology by REBOOT

An increasing number of patients with cancer are seeking an integrative approach to cancer care that blends the expertise of multiple practitioners with multiple skill sets in a comprehensive cancer treatment strategy. The majority of patients with cancer are seeking to harness the power of diet, supplements, and natural therapies as part of their care process. However, it can be very difficult and confusing to know what integrative strategies are safe, effective and appropriate for each cancer journey.

This is where we can help.

REBOOT Functional Health Care is pleased to be able to offer premier adjunctive oncology services in both Naturopathic Oncology and Traditional Chinese Medicine Oncology care.

Naturopathic Oncology

The application of the art, science, + therapeutics of naturopathic medicine to cancer care, treatment, and management. We by no means replace or remove conventional cancer treatment protocols; rather we work to augment, enhance, + support conventional protocols to optimize results. Our goal is to improve your health before, during + after treatment.

Naturopathic oncology involves:

Evidence-informed natural + supportive therapies that can be combined with conventional treatment at any stage of cancer treatment
A comprehensive analysis of your health, lifestyle, individual risk factors, + needs
Focus is YOU, not your diagnosis; care is centered around your specific needs wherever you may be in your care process

Traditional Chinese Medicine Oncology

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) interventions have been steadily gaining popularity as an area of supportive care for patients with cancer. Like naturopathic oncology, TCM oncology does not replace conventional cancer care but rather is used adjunctively with traditional cancer care.

The primary role of TCM in cancer care is side effect management + improvement. Acupuncture can provide relief from many common side effects of cancer care including

nausea
hot flashes
digestive concerns
pain
insomnia
fatigue

Our Core Treatment Areas

Holistic side effect management/mitigation
Cancer treatment can be intense. Whether you are being treated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or surgery, you will likely experience side effects ranging from mild to debilitating. There exists an array of safe, effective holistic interventions that we can implement with to reduce risk of developing side effects, reduce severity of side effects, protect the body against side effects, and enhance your body’s recovery + healing after experiencing treatment side effects.

Utilization of integrative anti-cancer therapies
Research is expanding on anti-cancer applications of many substances, plants, and phytomedicines that interfere with cancer cell’s growth, replication, metastatic potential, or ability to thrive in the body. Our doctors are trained to know which of these interventions are appropriate for which types of cancer as well as which interventions can be safely used in combination with your individual cancer treatment regimen + enhance your body’s overall activity against the the disease.
Comprehensive foundations of health care
We take time with you to carefully address diet, nutrition, exercise, sleep, hydration, stress management + healthy environments. The foundations of health matter now more than ever! For many patients with cancer these foundational tenets of health often suffer during cancer treatment due to the physical + mental toll of the diagnosis and care process. Our doctors take the time needed to work with you in addressing + optimizing these critical foundational areas of health in this very important season of life. The impact of improving the foundations of health during cancer care cannot be overstated.
Pre/Post diagnosis care
Many patients who have completed cancer treatment + are now undergoing routine monitoring, have a pre-cancerous area of concern, or are taking medications for years after treatment often wonder if there is anything they can do to reduce their risk of recurrence, progression, or metastatic spread. The answer is YES. Our doctors take time to comprehensively evaluate your lifestyle, identify risk factors, and work with you to implement measures to optimize overall health + wellness, reduce modifiable cancer risk factors, and use natural medicines that can be protective against certain kinds of cancer.
