Sage Cancer Care and the field of integrative oncology are dedicated helping those who find themselves facing cancer with wise and complete approach to healing. Here the best of scientific cancer care is combined with a wise and nurturing approach to the body. The goal of integrative medicine is not to reject standard approaches, which are life saving and necessary. It attempts to safely include a much broader perspective on healing and the body. Integrative oncology looks at the effects of diet and nutrition, immune system function, emotional health, energy medicine, traditional healing from other cultures and natural remedies play in the fight against cancer. Critical examination of the world of natural medicine reveals there are excellent, well understood, ways to significantly improve your fight against cancer and to live better through the process. This critical approach also reveals there are many unproven and unethical alternative cancer treatments, about which patient’s should be cautioned.

The middle-ground between the extremes of medicine is integrative medicine. There exists a balance between conservative and alternative, reductionist and holistic, cell-destroying and cell-rebuilding and true promise and false hope. This is the sage path, where patients can come to get well thought-out holistic advice about their individual battle with cancer. We respect all perspectives in medicine and combine the best aspects of each to create synergy. Integrative medicine offers a new perspective that has been missing in cancer care and it may just be a new perspective that is needed to make a real difference in the fight against cancer.
