Introduction

Unfortunately, cancer today is an illness that is growing in frequency and severity.

If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with cancer, then we invite you to go beyond the fear, and the exclusive dependence upon the regular medical model that includes only drugs, surgery, and radiation therapy.

Dr. Zieve practices healthy medicine.

This is a common-sense approach to the successful treatment of cancer. He has trained with some of the best clinicians worldwide.

In my work in the field of integrative cancer care,  I have been guided to work with two very gifted national practitioners: Donald J. Yance, CN, MH (AHG) of the Mederi Foundation and the Centre for Natural Healing, and Dwight McKee, MD, a nationally recognized integrative oncologist and author who lives in Santa Cruz. Dr. McKee has written clinical trials and does consulting nationally for many physicians in cancer care. 

Healthy medicine means that we take a comprehensive, inclusive, and scientific approach that enables us to successfully support many people in the healing of cancer and/or healthy living with cancer.

The successful treatment of cancer involves addressing five main areas:

1. Immune system enhancement
   
2. Detoxification
   
3. Lowering inflammation
   
4. Suppressing angiogenesis, or the capacity of cancer cells to make
   new blood vessels so that it can spread
   
5. Encouraging apoptosis, or the natural cell death of cancer cells.

Modern medicine applies primarily the fifth or last approach, and to some degree the fourth approach, with drugs and surgery.

Healthy medicine includes all five of these in a comprehensive approach that works. This comprehensive approach involves three main areas.

Dr. Zieve employs what are called Individualized Integrative Oncology Interventions”. This well-proven approach combines herbal and nutritional constitutional support, laboratory testing of the patient’s individual biochemical and physiological parameters, and chemosensitivity testing to define chemotherapy agents to which the patient’s cancer is most vulnerable.
