What is Integrative Oncology?
Oncology patients face a great challenge, due to both their illness and the demanding treatments they have to undergo throughout the process. Therefore, it is essential to provide good support to their physical, psychological and emotional condition. The care of their nutritional and energetic condition is a key factor to strengthen their organism and immunity, and allow them to achieve more and better quality of life and well-being.
A personalized clinical nutrition that includes approaches from other disciplines such as Chinese Diet Therapy, Supplementation and Orthomolecular Nutrition or Chinese Phytotherapy, as well as a psycho-emotional support, as a tool for stress management for both the patient and their families, can help to improve and minimize the adverse effects and stressors of the disease; being fundamental tools for Integrative Oncology.
¿En qué consiste la medicina holística?
La medicina integrativa y holística es aquella que integra los conocimientos de la medicina alopática (medicina convencional) con los de la medicina biológica, naturista o complementaría.
De este modo se beneficia de un abordaje terapéutico más respetuoso con el organismo siempre que sea posible, sin perder las valiosas aportaciones de la medicina alopática o convencional, como pueden ser las cirugías, el tratamiento del cáncer con antineoplásticos o el uso de antibióticos y otros medicamentos, cuando estos son realmente necesarios.
