Adjunctive Cancer Care

If you are reading this, it is likely that you or a loved one are dealing with a cancer diagnosis and are seeking information on viable alternative/adjunctive cancer treatments.

A medical cancer diagnosis and treatment plan are, of course, a necessary first step. But, this step gives rise to further questions:

Questions you may Have

  • What are the best supplemental treatments for my diagnosis and treatment plan?
  • Can these treatments increase the efficacy of my medical plan and reduce side effects?
  • How can I maintain my quality of life while receiving treatment?
  • How can I recover my health post-treatment?
  • What support can my family and I receive for our journey with cancer?

You may feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information about cancer, much of it conflicting. Online information about alternative and complementary treatments ranges from accurate to absurd. Cutting through the hype isn’t easy.

We know you have numerous choices to make and that making timely decisions can affect outcomes. The options you choose now may affect how long you live and the quality of your life.

Why to Add us to Your Medical Team?

Partnering with a doctor who specializes in adjunctive cancer treatment can help you:

  • Understand and address the processes occurring in your body
  • Transform the fear, anger and confusion that often accompany a cancer diagnosis into an opportunity for conscious growth
  • Sift through the morass of information and become clear about your options
  • Choose an integrated approach based on objective evidence
  • Enhance the efficacy of your medical treatment plan

  • Regain your health after treatment

Our approach in providing adjunctive cancer care combines scientifically validated strategies to help each patient achieve greater success in dealing with their treatment.

Please note that adjunctive cancer care is not a specific cancer treatment or cure.

Simply put, our focus is restoring and maintaining your health and well-being using comprehensive, proven, and safe treatment strategies.

Conventional therapies often ignore the cause and the preconditions that gave rise to the initial cancer. Drs. Connie and Marcel Hernandez search for the underlying causes of your existing illness and then employ an integrated therapeutic approach to restore balance. We welcome patients with a wide variety of disorders, including all forms of cancer, autoimmune disease, heart disease, chronic pain, diabetes, hormone imbalances such as thyroid and adrenal disorders, menopause and andropause, and fibromyalgia, among others.

Conventional cancer care has historically used chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and biological therapy as its main approaches to dealing with cancer. This focus on attacking the tumor is often a race. Will therapy cure the cancer or further deplete and weaken the patient? There have always been significant numbers of treatment-induced deaths as well as disease-induced fatalities. If a person is already frail in body or spirit when they are diagnosed with cancer, one-dimensional conventional cancer treatments will not suffice. Awareness of both unsuccessful outcomes and treatment-induced illness has forced patients to seek adjunctive care to bolster their odds, not just of cancer-free survival, but of recovering a healthy life.

Our care strategies are individually formulated to:

  • Support and enhance conventional cancer treatment
  • Decrease or avoid the unwanted side effects of conventional cancer treatment
  • Accelerate healing and recovery during and after surgery, radiation and chemotherapy
  • Address nutrient deficiencies by ensuring nourishment at a cellular level
  • Remove toxins that undermine your body s ability to heal and restore healthy functioning
  • Enhance digestion and assimilation of nutrients
  • Strengthen the body s own immunological ability to fight cancer
  • Address possible underlying causes of cancer
  • Provide strategies for ongoing prevention of cancer return
  • Help you regain emotional control over your decision making
  • Improve energy, well-being and overall quality of life
  • Support body, mind and spirit in the healing process

Drs. Connie and Marcel Hernandez will individually formulate your treatment plan utilizing scientifically based and proven therapies from both conventional and alternative worlds of medicine to create truly integrated and effective treatment options. We don’t practice cookbook medicine. Your personal treatment plan will be unique to you. We offer therapies that are effective for your specific case and that are shown by research to be safe to use while undergoing conventional treatment.

Your treatment program may include IV therapy, oral nutrient protocols, detoxification, dietary and lifestyle modifications, mind/body therapies, bodywork and other therapies that support the body’s normal metabolic processes and provide relief from the stress of a chronic illness.

Please note that while Drs. Connie and Marcel Hernandez are excited to be able to offer adjunctive cancer care, we make no promises or guarantees as to your personal outcome. We provide resources, perspectives, pathways and adjunctive care to ease your journey and maximize the efficacy of your treatment. You and your family should conduct a thorough review of the information available before deciding what combination of conventional and adjunctive cancer care is right for you.
