Some cancer patients say that their cancer treatments feel nearly as overwhelming as the diagnosis itself. Chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and other cancer treatment approaches can be highly effective for many types of cancer — but those therapies can take a serious toll on the body as they work to eliminate the disease.
At Knox Wellness Experience, we’re here to help you manage all the effects that cancer has on your body, whether from the disease or the treatments for it.
We use an integrative approach, blending elements of traditional medicine and innovative alternative therapies to improve your whole-person wellness and quality of life as you move through the cancer treatment.
This blog explores one of our leading evidence-based therapies for cancer patients: intravenous (IV) therapy. Here’s how it benefits oncology patients.
Cancer treatments can be exhausting and filled with difficult side effects. IV therapy can help alleviate some of these challenges. One popular option is high-dose vitamin C IV therapy.
This method can support the body’s fight against cancer cells and may improve your quality of life during chemotherapy. Oral supplements can’t reach the necessary levels, but IV vitamin C can.
Studies show that vitamin C attacks the processes that stimulate cancer cell growth and development. As it targets and weakens cancer cells, vitamin C simultaneously helps reduce inflammation and promotes improved immune system health.
Ozone is purified oxygen with three oxygen atoms. Delivering ozone intravenously is a highly efficient way to reoxygenate the blood.
As with IV vitamin C, ozone therapy can work on a couple of levels. First, oxygen may weaken cancer cells. These weakened cells may be easier to target with cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation.
In addition, IV ozone can decrease inflammation and promote improved immune health, leading to better overall health and potentially enhanced ability to fight cancer.
Ultraviolet (UV) blood irradiation is often combined with ozone therapy. This unique type of radiation targets part of the blood to fight harmful bacteria and viruses and promote improved immune function. It’s a powerful way to supplement ozone therapy and provide whole-body immune support.
The integrative approach to cancer care focuses on treating the whole patient, not just the symptoms of the disease. At Knox Wellness Experience, we understand that cancer treatment is often exhausting.
Our approaches, including IV therapy and other integrative options, support your whole-person health so you’re better equipped to cope with cancer (and cancer treatment) side effects.
The integrative method supports your body’s natural healing processes. We’re here to help you reach the best physical and mental health possible with personalized cancer management plans.
