In industrialized nations, cancer rates are rising at an alarming pace.  Undoubtedly, environmental toxins are least in part responsible for this rise but other reasons such as poor diet and lifestyle, genetics, viral infections, and electromagnetic radiation can contribute also.

Whether you are currently battling cancer, or are at high risk and want prevention, naturopathic medicine can help. Naturopathic expertise in nutrition and high quality supplements can be of tremendous benefit for anyone who is receiving conventional treatments for cancer.  Chemotherapy, for example, frequently causes nausea, fatigue, and other often debilitating side effects. These side effects can often be reduced using natural therapies and products.  It’s important to choose a naturopath who is highly qualified and understands your current drug and radiation protocol.

Nirala Jacobi has done extensive postgraduate study in the field of naturopathic oncology and supportive care and is a member of the Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians in the USA.

The second oncologist I saw was prepared for me to continue on my natural therapies and supplements, providing I kept her informed of what I was doing.  The same week I was lucky enough to get an appointment with Nirala, who was the first naturopath … Read more in the testimonials section.
