Personalized, Effective, Integrative, Naturopathic, and Alternative Cancer Treatment

We routinely see patients looking for help in all stages of disease, from those with a strong family history interested in prevention, to those currently fighting cancer, as well as those searching for a plan to reduce the risk of recurrence.

Our 3 Week Intensive Programs

Dr. Psenka has been offering 3-week intensive treatment programs since 2002. These programs are best suited for people who have recently been diagnosed with cancer, those who are experiencing a recurrence, as well as those who have completed conventional care.

What Does the Program Consist of For a New Cancer Diagnosis?

A new diagnosis of cancer can be extremely difficult to navigate. For many people this is their first experience inside the world of medicine. In addition to the stress and anxiety that accompany the diagnosis, people are directed to see multiple doctors, undergo a number of medical tests and procedures, and make treatment decisions, all while not completely understanding what their diagnosis or their treatment options are.

What Does the Program Consist of For a Recurring Case?

In cases where cancer returns then using a comprehensive, integrative approach can provide the best solution for eliminating the recurrent disease. Recurrent disease happens when some of a person’s cancer cells are not eliminated by the initial treatments. This is often referred to as drug resistance, or multidrug resistance. In these cases, cancer cells have “learned” how to escape the effects of the drugs.There are known mechanisms for drug resistance and inhibiting these escape routes, combined with specific individualized treatments aimed at increasing the effectiveness of therapy that can lead to improved results.

What if I am in Remission?

Finishing conventional cancer care is often a double-edged sword for many people. While completing therapy and achieving NED status (no evidence of disease) is cause for celebration, most experience anxiety about what their next move should be. Many people are simply instructed to have repeat blood work and imaging in three months and then sent on their way. Some are provided with instruction to “eat a healthy diet,” without being advised to what that actually is. Most people are sent out of the office without any instruction on the numerous research-based actions they can take to help prevent recurrent disease. There is a great opportunity for people to be educated about what they can do to prevent the return of cancer, gain confidence that they are being proactive, and to be an active part of their recovery.

Specialized Physicians

Our physicians have the experience to safely incorporate our recommendations into a patient's current cancer treatment protocol. By doing so patients often experience better results, increased overall health, and less adverse medication reactions.

We believe that as your doctor it is our duty to work with the other health care providers on your medical team.

The best results are often achieved when using naturopathic, alternative and conventional cancer treatment approaches in an integrative fashion, rather than relying on solely one or the other.

Cutting Edge Technology

We use state-of-the-art medical testing to determine which treatments show the best potential for success and incorporate these findings, along with targeted alternative supplementation to improve treatment response, into our patient recommendations.

We use a variety of medications, highest-quality supplements, herbal medicines,IV treatments, physical medicine, and dietary plans when creating protocols for our patients.

Our experience also provides us with the ability to offer guidance to patients about how to prevent cancer recurrence.

Today's technology allows for the identification of risk factors associated with increased cancer risk. It is important to identify and eliminate these cancer risk factors not only for the primary prevention of cancer, but also for the prevention of cancer recurrence.

Focus on Wellbeing

Importantly, restoring health and healing vitality to the person fighting cancer is of utmost importance and must be a priority as well.

Just as important as treating with a holistic approach, is the importance of treating each patient as a unique individual.

No two cancers are identical, and no cancer treatments work equally well in all patients.

This extends beyond providing our patients with specific lifestyle and nutritional changes, but also to the use of targeted therapies used to make the body an inhospitable place for cancer to survive.

Individual Approach

We specialize in creating holistic and alternative treatment plans that are specifically tailored to each of our patient's unique needs.

These safe and effective natural medicines can be incorporated into any cancer treatment plan.

It is our philosophy that an optimal treatment plan for cancer should provide much more than a single treatment modality.

To be successful an alternative, cancer treatments plan needs to be multi-modal and fight cancer by attacking the tumor directly, crippling a cancer cell's metabolism and energy production, cutting off blood supply to the tumor, stimulating the immune system, and inhibiting treatment resistance.

Testimonials

“After being diagnosed with prostate cancer, I decided to seek independent advice and possible treatment in Arizona. He helped me digest the mountains of information and advice that I’d received from well-meaning naturopaths, urologists, family physicians and friends, as well as the multitude of reading that I had done on the subject. I recommend that you contact him if you find yourself in this dilemma. To this day, we continue to rely on his advice.

*** P.S. I am now 12 months free of cancer!”

“I first met Dr. Psenka after I finished my 3rd round of chemo for metastatic breast cancer. Our initial interview lasted over and hour and Dr. Psenka acted as though he would stay there all day if that is what it took to get all my questions answered. He has an incredible grasp of the mechanics of my disease and was very informative on what immune support, nutrition. and treatment he would recommend. I wish I would have started with his regime at the onset of my breast cancer, as I feel the outcome would have been different. I am stable now and my last PET showed no activity in my bone lesions. The nutritional support has kept me as healthy as one could be having the chemo/radiation that I’ve had. I work full time and lead and active life. I see my oncologist regularly, as well as Dr. Psenka. I feel this gives me the best advantage I am going to have to survive. I would encourage anyone with an early diagnosis of cancer to consider alternative therapies along with their chemo. Dr. Psenka and his staff are a great team and a remarkable resource to help anyone through this difficult diagnosis.”

I appreciated that Dr. Psenka was unhurried and happy to spend as much time as was needed to discuss our concerns, answer as many questions as came up, and explain his philosophy and approach to treating YOU. He was approachable and listened… rather than just talked/lectured. I get the feeling that he’s always thinking head of the “what if’s” and “how to’s”. I know one thing for sure… I would want him on my team!” -from a friend of a patient who participated in the initial consultation”
