A Functional Medicine approach may be used to attempt prevention of cancer by using dietary changes, supplements, exercise and lifestyle changes. Preventive Health Advisor reviews natural remedies only with research evidence. We know that the underlying cause of cancer is due to toxin-related damage or genetically predisposed alteration of DNA. Conversely, in the most simple terms, prevention of cancer is possible with protection of DNA. This protection for instance can be in the form of antioxidants, exercise, nutrients, and body composition. Integrative medicine may use natural remedies to improve either the cancer itself, or emotional well-being to enhance the outcome of chemotherapy. A Holistic Medicine approach can treat cancer as part of the whole person which addresses the person physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
