1. Treat the individual, not the Cancer: This point is very important. Cancer is a symptom of disease, but not the cause of disease. Disease typically occurs years before pathology can be found at a tissue level. Cancer usually occurs in our inherently weakest tissues. Typically, when Cancer is treated directly, it later recurs in the same tissue or the next weakest tissue. Directly treating cancer is comparable to putting a band-aid on a twelve inch cut, though sometimes required, it is rarely curative. Typically, anytime a specific symptom is treated without addressing the entire person, suppression of disease can occur. Each time suppression of disease occurs, the more difficult and time consuming it becomes to get the person back to an optimal state of health. The point of this section is to emphasize the importance of treating the individual and not the cancer.
From our perspective, the body is profoundly wise and is far more complex than we can yet detect. The body will increase function where and when it is needed. When the body is constantly stimulated because of various factors such as inflammation, many new cells are produced and the chance of mutation can ensue. You have to understand that this is typically occurs after years of over-stimulation from various sources. It is also important to understand that cancer is the body’s way of adapting to chronic over-stimulation.
2. Treatment: Naturopathic medicine approaches treatment from several levels, all of which are focused on the same goal. We do not have a specific protocol that we follow for specific diseases. We utilize the information that your body provides to us in order to create a healing plan that is individually tailored to you. As treatment progresses, information from your body is followed and the treatment plan is appropriately adjusted.

a. Removal of obstacles to cure: It is very important to find the causes of over-stimulation in the body. This process involves individualized dietary changes, lifestyle changes, food intolerance avoidance, environmental hazard avoidance, etc. Everything we do affects the body in a specific way. By utilizing this principle we will fine tune your habits to promote health and wellbeing.
b. Tonifying systems: This process involves strengthening organ systems that are under-functioning or malfunctioning. Special focus is always paid to the gastrointestinal system. Weakened systems can be found through pulse diagnosis, iridology, neurolymphatic points, and physical signs and symptoms. Tonification of systems is achieved through utilization of botanical medicines and nutrient therapy.
c. Homeopathy: Homeopathy is used to change specific energetic processes in our thought, emotions, and physical body. This is particularly important in cases where diseases are found to run in families, so-called genetic diseases. Homeopathy is especially indicated in patients with a strong emotional component.
d. Constitutional Hydrotherapy: This will be the crux of treatment. This therapy increases the vitality of the person and promotes the innate self-healing processes. This therapy is also very important in increasing detoxification, energy levels, and proper organ function.
