Botanical Oncology
Botanical oncology is not an alternative cancer treatment but seeks to work with bio-medical oncology to support the patient. This is called integrative oncology. Many botanical substances have well-researched anti-inflammatory properties, can increase healing and modulate immune responses. Botanicals can make tumors more radio-sensitive as well as protect healthy cells from radiation treatment Botanicals have extensive properties to manage the many side effects of conventional treatments and support overcoming multi-drug resistance ( MDR). Botanicals potentiate and increase the efficacy of chemotherapy.
Cancer is a terrible disease and while medical oncology is the first line of recommended treatment it suffers from several limitations. Surgery can be the initial treatment and is often recommended. One of the consequences of surgery is the increase in inflammation. i.e. inflammatory cytokines, which have been shown to promote tumor growth and stimulate angiogenesis.
Radiotherapy or radiation therapy is another standard protocol that shrinks tumors, but we recognize ionising radiation is in itself causing. Lastly, chemotherapy is the recognised treatment for metastatic cancer, but chemo can have a diminishing effect after the initial cycle due to multi-drug resistance (MDR) as well as multiple debilitating terrible side effects.
For more than 20 years Dr Daniel Weber has lectured to practitioners on the subject of Oncology, both here and in the US. We, at Panaxea, are fortunate to be able to bring you the many isolates and herbal formulas Dr Weber has created to support the patient throughout the disease trajectory. Panaxea products are supported by evidence-based research. Daniel has also created the Botanical Oncology App, which allows for fast prescribing. His Cancer publications support clinicians and offer a deeper understanding of both primary and secondary cancer presentations. together with associated treatment approaches.
