Alternative Cancer Therapy Q & A

What should I know about alternative cancer therapy?

Dr. Singer has carefully evaluated more than 30 years of documented research to develop cutting-edge alternative cancer therapies that have one vital goal: strengthening your immune system. When your immune system is at its peak strength, it can fight cancer and promote healing.

The team at HealthFirst delivers alternative cancer therapies through an intravenous (IV) infusion, which allows them to administer a higher, more therapeutic dose than is possible with oral forms. HealthFirst is currently the only provider in Colorado combining multiple therapies for optimal results.

What type of alternative cancer therapy might I receive?

Dr. Singer combines several beneficial substances that work together to boost your immune system, including:

  • Zinc
  • Vitamin C
  • Artesunate
  • Curcumin
  • Alpha-lipoic acid
  • PolyMVA
  • Multivitamin and multimineral formula

Zinc and vitamin C are two of the most essential nutrients for strengthening your immune system. 

PolyMVA contains a combination of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids specially formulated to support energy production and provide the nutrients needed to boost your immune system. Alpha-lipoic acid and curcumin help regulate inflammation and enhance the immune response.

Artesunate, curcumin, alpha-lipoic acid, zinc, and high-dose vitamin C serve double duty. They also fight off cancer, often by slowing down cancer growth.

Many of the substances in this list improve your overall health and quality of life when they’re combined with other cancer treatments. 

For example, high IV doses of vitamin C may minimize side effects during chemotherapy and radiation, and curcumin is being studied for its ability to reduce fatigue during chemotherapy

How are nutrients used in alternative cancer therapy?

Nutritional support is vital during and after your cancer treatment. Cancer patients commonly develop nutritional deficiencies and lose muscle mass because chemotherapy and radiation can cause nausea and reduced appetite.

Nutritional therapy ensures you get enough calories to build up your strength and support your body’s ability to tolerate cancer treatment. 

You also need to boost your immune system and metabolism by restoring nutrients that are quickly depleted as your body uses extra nutrients to fight cancer and heal.

The team at HealthFirst runs tests to identify nutritional deficiencies, then customizes a replenishment plan to restore balance. Their nutritional support can help cancer patients:

  • Maintain a lean body mass
  • Speed up healing
  • Protect their bodies from infection
  • Reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation
  • Recover more quickly from chemotherapy and radiation
