Integrative Medicine practitioner, Dr. Cole in Temple, Texas offers holistic treatment plans that work in conjunction with conventional cancer care to improve quality of life.

Cancer affects the whole person no matter its origin. While treating the physical manifestation of cancer is essential, it’s important to provide mental as well as emotional support. Integrative Medicine does this by focusing on the patient, not the disease. By enhancing the patient’s overall health and well-being, supportive oncology can improve the effectiveness of conventional cancer treatments and reduce uncomfortable side effects.

Shelley Cole, M.D. of Healthy Success helps develop comprehensive, customized plans for people with cancer to support them before, during and after treatment in Temple, Texas.

Supportive Oncology Therapies

Supportive oncology involves the use of natural, noninvasive therapies for patients currently undergoing cancer treatment and those in remission. Shelley Cole, M.D. of Healthy Success‘s supportive therapies include:

IV therapy in supportive oncology delivers vital nutrients directly to the bloodstream, helping patients boost their immune systems, reduce treatment-related fatigue, and improve overall energy levels. This therapy supports recovery by providing hydration and essential vitamins, which are often depleted during cancer treatment.

Proper nutrition plays an important role in cancer recovery. Supportive oncology nutrition counseling helps patients maintain strength, manage treatment side effects, and support immune function. Tailored nutrition plans can improve energy, enhance well-being, and promote healing during and after treatment.

Supportive oncology lifestyle counseling addresses the emotional, physical, and mental aspects of cancer recovery. Patients receive personalized guidance on stress management, physical activity, and daily habits that promote healing, reduce stress, and enhance quality of life during treatment.

Ozone therapy boosts oxygen levels in the body, helping to reduce inflammation, enhance immune function, and combat cancer-related fatigue. This supportive oncology treatment assists the body in healing, improves circulation, and may help patients recover more efficiently from traditional treatments.

Prolozone therapy offers pain relief and tissue repair, which can be especially beneficial for patients experiencing cancer-related inflammation or joint discomfort. By delivering oxygen and nutrients to affected areas, this therapy enhances the body’s natural healing process, supporting overall recovery.

Red light therapy promotes cellular repair and reduces inflammation, making it a beneficial tool for supportive oncology care. Patients often experience relief from pain, enhanced tissue healing, and a boost in energy levels, supporting overall recovery and wellness during cancer treatment.

The Role of Supportive Oncology

Supportive oncology is not a replacement for conventional cancer care. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and other traditional treatments are still recommended in order to attack cancer cells and prevent them from growing.

While these treatments are aggressive and effective, they unfortunately often have uncomfortable and distressing side effects. Supportive oncology can help relieve these side effects, including:

  • Fatigue
  • Insomnia
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Pain
  • Weight loss
  • Digestive issues
  • Mouth sores
  • Rashes
  • Numbness
Integrative Medicine focuses on addressing the root cause of disease. By identifying risk factors that may have contributed to the growth of cancerous cells, Shelley Cole, M.D. of Healthy Success can help patients make lifestyle changes that improve outcomes and reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

Supportive Oncology Benefits

Integrative Medicine for cancer focuses on slowing the growth of cancer cells and alleviating the side effects of chemotherapy.

Some of the benefits of supportive oncology treatments include:

  • Increased energy
  • Reduced stress and anxiety
  • Reduced nausea
  • Improved mood
  • Increased strength
  • Better balance
  • Improved appetite
  • Pain relief
  • Better sleep

Supportive oncology also improves the patient’s overall health, which in turn allows the patient to better tolerate treatment.
