INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE IN THE TREATMENT OF CANCER

“…Integrative cancer care means: The best cancer care strives
not only to increase tumor killing potential with the prudent use
of anticancer agents like chemotherapy, but also to prevent damage
to healthy tissue through nutritional intervention…
and the use of specific supplements…”

— Dr. Keith I. Block, Block Center, Chicago, www.blockmd.com

“Proper diet and supplements can substantially bolster the body’s ability to recover from cancer. Chemotherapy, radiation and surgery can temporarily reduce tumor burden, but these therapies do not change the underlying causes of the disease. Comprehensive cancer treatment must include an aggressive nutrition component, which can increase life expectancy… along with chances for complete remission.

A well-nourished immune system is able to recognize and destroy the inevitable remaining cancer cells left after medical treatment…Nutrients can fortify the many defense systems in the body which prevent and reverse cancer everyday in millions of people.”

— Beating Cancer with Nutrition, Patrick Quillin, PhD,RD,CNS. www.patrickquillin.com

In recent years there has been an extensive amount of medical research establishing the value of nutrition as a component in the treatment of cancer. The effectiveness of this research has been confirmed in practice by Dr. Litman and other integrative cancer practitioners around the world. Dr. Litman spends a great amount of time staying current with the latest developments, and incorporates this information in his practice for the benefit of his patients.

When meeting with a new patient, Dr. Litman obtains the patient’s medical history and detailed bloodwork. Upon review, Dr. Litman provides the patient with a highly customized nutritional program that is designed to not only fight the cancer, but also to optimize the patient’s overall health during cancer treatment. The program typically includes a recommendation for daily intake of certain vitamin and other oral supplements, complemented by further appointments at the clinic to receive intravenous vitamin therapy.

What People Say

Cancer Remission
Dear Dr. Litman, I will never forget what you did for me. During a very trying time, you cared for me with much devotion and you brought back my faith and hope. Thank you for doing everything possible to keep me alive. Thank you for being so caring, understanding, and charming. Without your support I would not have been able to overcome the disease. Thank you for not letting me give up. In my case, thank yous are almost meaningless, since I will remember you for giving me another chance at life. With great appreciation, Aliza Gabai

Incurable Cancer
I would highly recommend Dr. Litman for anyone who needs a devoted doctor who thinks outside the box, and is willing to leave no stone unturned in ensuring his patients receive the ultimate care whilst avoiding anything that might cause side effects. For me, Dr. Litman is the ideal practitioner of the Hippocratic Oath "I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures that are required, and remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug."

Reducing Chemo Toxicity
Hello Dr. Litman, On behalf of my family, I’d like to thank you for the huge transformation that took place in Ricky Stein’s condition (my mother in law’s ovarian cancer after surgery… we came from the north at the time, we had been seen by you about 1 and a half months ago when she was suffering from exhaustion and loss of appetite.., and had many side effects from the additional chemotherapy…and following your recommendations, there was an astonishing improvement in her side effects from the chemo., immediately after beginning the Vitamin C treatment. Currently, Ricky has begun functioning again, almost as normal. Clearly we will continue battling the cancer and our path is still long, but we have no doubt that the quality of her life has improved and allowed her and all of us to continue and fight the cancer with greater strength, For this, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Thanks once again, Eli Kirschenbaum
