Approach to Cancer

Dr. Zieve has considerable success in treating many people with the diagnosis of cancer. His approach is three-fold:

​

1. Improve the well-being of the person: meaning energy, sleep , gut, emotions, and so on.  We use almost exclusively food programs, herbs, and nutritional supplements to support you in these areas, with the aim of improving your quality of life.

​

2. Improve the tumor micro-environment: In your situation this means lowering inflammation and addressing any other lab abnormalities that may show up on the labs you are hopefully doing this week. We are able to help you with this mostly with food programs, herbs, and nutritional supplements.

​

3. Addressing the cancer itself: This is the area that modern oncology focusses on, through surgery, chemo, radiation, and drugs, often at the expense of the patient’s quality of life. This area is very important to focus on the specifics of your cancer, and may involve doing further testing on your biopsy, to learn of specific mutations that could make successful treatment more difficult. If your cancer is more advanced, I may suggest some IV therapies here, such as IV Vitamin C, mistletoe therapy, or other IV therapies we provide.

​

Dr. Zieve collaborates with qualified local medical doctors who supervise highly trained naturopathic physicians in Boulder, whose nurses administer IV therapies for cancer. These IV therapies can often help patients who have a cancer diagnosis. Many of these naturopathic oncology therapies have direct action against cancer cells, and may also support patients who are going through chemotherapy to alleviate symptoms.
