Cancer has a profound impact that permeates our entire society. The diagnosis of cancer is the biggest shock for people. It is a traumatic event that often first brings up feelings of helplessness and bewilderment. The diagnosis creates urgency and fear for both patients and their families. A sense of powerlessness. Suddenly, control is gone. Our goal is to put you back in control.
Cancer has become the leading cause of death in wealthy countries in recent decades. In the US and UK, 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. This is despite billions spent on the “war on cancer” since 1971. Much has been learned about the biology of cancer, risk factors and genetic mutations, but very little progress has been made against the disease as a whole. The miracle cure that scientists are looking for has remained elusive.
This calls for a different approach. An approach that focuses on the whole person instead of just the tumor.
You cannot heal in the same terrain that made you sick
Regulating a healthy human terrain is similar to maintaining a healthy, thriving garden. If a plant in a garden is full of insects that eat it, you can control them with chemical insecticides, but you can also look at the vitality of the soil, the amount of sunlight, water, and wind, whether the plant is compatible with the location, the diversity of plants in the vicinity, etc. In this way, you can control the conditions so that the insects do not keep coming back.
Just as the insects are a sign that the plant is weakened, cancer is a messenger – a signal – that certain elements within a person are not in harmony. It is important to realize that cancer is not something that invades the body, but rather an adaptation of the body to a lifestyle that does not meet the biological, emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs of a person.
We must treat the terrain, not just the tumor, in order to optimize the body’s healing mechanisms and promote long-term health.
At Valeo Life, we are at your side and help you identify which aspects of your lifestyle are not meeting your health requirements and therefore may require an adjustment known as cancer. In consultation with you, we will create a customized treatment plan. We take into account your type of cancer, genetics, health history, possibilities, wishes and needs. Complementary cancer treatments can work together with conventional cancer treatments to give you the best possible results.
Conventional and Complementary Cancer Treatment
Conventional medicine has three “tools” to fight cancer: chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. In recent years, immunotherapy and targeted therapies have been added. Fortunately, these are not the only treatments for cancer. These conventional approaches to fighting cancer cells can be effective in tackling the disease, but it is important to combine them with a holistic approach.
Not only will complementary cancer treatments help reduce the impact of chemotherapy and radiation on the body, but they can also strengthen the body’s natural ability to fight the disease. Stimulate the human body’s self-healing capacity.
Unfortunately, it is usually not difficult to get rid of a tumor; the hardest part is keeping the cancer away.
Surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted immunotherapies shrink the tumor and sometimes eliminate all visible tumor, but in many cases there is a recurrence (return) 9-18+ months later, or only after 5 years which is then no longer registered as recurrent cancer.
What makes cancer so ominous
What makes cancer so ominous and life-threatening is that it continues to grow and spread. If someone were to discover a 2 cm tumor in their pancreas and it did not grow and spread (metastasize) to other organs, that person would live a normal life. So the real question a person with cancer – that is not too painful and does not interfere with their quality of life – should ask their doctor is not “how do I get rid of this?”, but first and foremost “how do I stop making this?”
Because it is clear that if the person does not stop making cancer, no matter how good the doctor or surgeon is at getting rid of it, the cancer will come back. And it is well known that 90% of all cancer deaths are due to metastases, not the primary tumor.
