A professional service which<br />

supports you through your cancer journey.<br />

NUTRITION. SUPPLEMENTATION. COUNseL.


Integrative therapy<br />

Integrative Medicine is a philosophy based on treating patients by focusing<br />

on the whole person and using both conventional and complementary<br />

therapies in a multi-disciplinary approach. There is open communication<br />

between practitioners and the various modalities and traditions.<br />

This form of treatment has grown so extensively that today it is utilised by<br />

80% of cancer patients. This growth has been driven by patients wanting to<br />

overcome cancer with greater success while reducing negative side effects<br />

and improving overall health.<br />

Our Integrative oncology program<br />

We offer access to a professional team of medical and health professionals.<br />

Our team works collaboratively but you will be allocated one contact<br />

person to assist you. We work alongside oncologists in a complementary<br />

and supportive fashion.<br />

Our areas of expertise<br />

NUTRITION<br />

Guiding you on what to eat<br />

to support your treatment and<br />

good health.<br />

VITAMINS & MINERALS<br />

Check for and correct<br />

underlying deficiencies affecting<br />

your health.<br />

PHYTO-THERAPY<br />

Recommendations on<br />

herbal and plant-based<br />

medicines.<br />

COUNseL<br />

We are able to answer questions<br />

you may have, provide guidance<br />

and emotional support.


How does it work?<br />

Step 1<br />

You may be referred onto our program via your caregiver<br />

or doctor in which case you will receive a referral e-mail.<br />

Alternatively, enroll with us by connecting via our website<br />

www.integrativeoncology.co.za<br />

Step 2<br />

Follow a short registration process during which we’ll record your<br />

details for professional use. This is followed by an appointment,<br />

either in person, online or telephonically – at your convenience.<br />

Step 3<br />

A professional member of our team will be assigned to you.<br />

This will be your key contact person during your treatment and<br />

journey. They will provide advice and support for your specific<br />

needs. This will address various aspects of your treatment<br />

outside of conventional oncology. It is then your responsibility to<br />

follow this advice and remain in contact. You will have access<br />

to the programme as much as required and at times convenient<br />

to you and your team member.<br />

INTEGRATIVE ONCOLOGY PARTNERS<br />

Only medically qualified professionals<br />

administer support via the program.<br />

We do not replace the care of an oncologist<br />

but act as a support team.<br />

There is no direct cost for consultation.<br />

Advice and support is given freely, within reason.
