  1. Integrative Cancer Therapy Care

  2. Integrative Medicine A total approach to medical care combining standard medicine with complementary and alternative practices that have been shown to be safe and effective. They treat the patient's mind, body, and spirit.

  3. Qualified Doctors Our qualified team of physicians treat cancer very differently from how "conventional" cancer therapy is administered; especially when the odds support a far more favorable long-term survival rate for the patient.

  4. Integral Medicine Complementary, alternative and where indicated conventional standard practice is used for medical treatments. One example is using a special diet to treat cancer instead of anticancer drugs that are prescribed by an oncologist.

  5. What is Metastatic Liver Cancer? Liver metastasis occurs when cancerous tumor cells spread to the liver from another part of the body.

  6. These tumor cells often appear shortly after the primary tumor develops, or months or years later. Most liver metastases start as cancers in colon or rectum.

  7. Nearly 70% of patients with colorectal cancer develop liver metastases. This happens in part because blood from intestines is connected directly to liver through the portal vein.

  8. Although much less common, liver metastases can start from breast, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, lung, kidney or skin cancer.

  9. The progression of metastatic liver is quite severe and abrupt, so treatment must commence as soon as possible after first diagnosed, based on the following symptoms.

  10. Jaundice Enlarged liver will block flow of bile, causing seepage into bloodstream, resulting in dark urine, pale stools and itchy skin.

  11. Delirium It affects sleep patterns, with difficulty concentrating, with possible amnesia leading to possible coma.

  12. Severe Abdominal Pain Tumor cells begin to expand throughout surrounding area destroying healthy tissue. This leads to massive organ damage. Patient will have a very swollen abdomen, with incredibly hardened and enlarged liver resulting in severe pain. Select pain killer is usually prescribed.

  13. Ascites Fluid will begin to build inside the abdomen area. Ascites is excess fluid with floating cancer cells with current standard of care requiring draining fluid through the abdomen wall.

  14. Systemic Organ Malfunctions Kidney begins to fail, causing weight gain, swelling and less urine output. Lungs fail, making it more complicated and difficult to breath. Lungs begin to fill with fluid. Confusion from the toxicity affects the brain, causing mood swings, altered decision-making, drowsiness, sluggish speech. Overall, liver failure causes nausea, vomiting, fatigue, loss of appetite, and easy bleeding.
