Lack of Oxygen causes Cancer?
The foundation of cancer treatment at East Valley Naturopathic Doctors is based on the profound research of Otto Warburg. Otto Warburg, M.D.,Ph.D., proved that a 35% reduction in oxygen caused any cell to either die or turn cancerous. Cancer is the body, at the cellular level, attempting to survive by reverting to a primitive survival mechanism. Surprisingly, it’s that simple. Most normal healthy cells get their energy by using oxygen in a process called “respiration.” This can be contrasted Read more [...]
Your Guide to a Less Toxic Bedroom
You are probably wondering after reading the title of this blog what does she mean by a less toxic bedroom? How could my bedroom be toxic? Most people don't even realize that the most important place in the house, where you spend most of your time, could be negatively impacting your health.

Do vitamins and minerals interfere with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy?
I am frequently asked this by patients because they have been advised not to take supplements during treatment. The scientific literature has clearly addressed this question:

The Breast Cancer Screening Test Everyone Should Know About
Detection of breast cancer can be very difficult and as with any cancer the sooner we are able to make a diagnosis the better the outcome is for the patient. In fact, there is a 97% survivability rate with early detection. I am dedicating my blog this week on a test that I feel everyone should know about and have done yearly. I am referring to the BT Test for breast cancer detection. The BT Test measures specific proteins in the blood such as: IL 8, IL 12, CEA, HGF and VEGF. These markers Read more [...]

Cancer – Introduction
For many years the treatment of cancer has been limited to chemotherapy, radiation or surgery – and typically, a combination thereof. In some cases these therapies have been of benefit, but in far too many, cancer eradication seems to be a losing battle. Surgery has been blamed for increasing metastases, which are the leading cause of cancer deaths.
