ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE IN TREATMENT OF CANCER:
The emerging integrative model of cancer treatment recognizes the importance of botanical medicine. However, despite extensive positive research data from experimental and preclinical studies, and the anecdotal clinical experience of many practitioners, patients and cancer survivors, its potential in this field remains largely untapped and large-scale clinical trials are generally unavailable. The reasons for this are multi factorial, and include historical, political, and cultural factors – and almost invariably a misunderstanding of the core principles of herbal medicine itself. Toward that end, IAPRO has embarked in a quest to develop solutions to aid in effective cancer treatment.
