I will just give you a couple of quotes. I'm not just a representative of a naturopathic college, but of patients who are seeking this, and also physicians who do see the value of this.
One of our supporters who does refer patients to us is a lead oncologist in the Ottawa area, Dr. Shail Verma, and his quote is:
For far too long, disciplines have worked in isolation without communication and our patients have often felt caught between differing therapeutic philosophies, often to their detriment. This is a wonderful initiative. An integrative program will help provide a much needed bridge.
Another quote, by Dr. Stephen Sagar, a radiation oncologist at the Juravinski Cancer Centre:
Integrative cancer care enhances conventional therapies and bolsters the prevention of recurrence. In addition, integrative oncology provides systematic strategies to prevent cancer through lifestyle modification, such as nutrition and exercise. Recognizing synergy from a whole systems approach, integrative oncology provides new models for dealing with the epidemic of cancer.
