LIFEnhance Alternative Medicine Clinic specializes in cancer Complementary
Alternative Medicine (CAM) treatments.
The clinical practice follows the guidelines for CAM stipulated by the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Center for Complementary and
Alternative Medicine (NCCAM). As a result, LIFEnhance is committed to CAM
care that is both safe and effective. Our mission is to improve the quality
of life of cancer patients before, during, and after their chemotherapy,
surgery, and radiotherapy treatments. Our treatments - consisting of acupuncture,
evidence-based botanical formulas, nutrition medicine (vitamins, minerals), and
special diets - are also suitable for patients who have not undergone mainstream
treatment. According to Traditional Chinese Medical theory, the body's natural
ability to combat illness is largely dependent on the strength of his or her
body's essential energy. This strength is often compromised in the course of
mainstream treatments. By strengthening the patient's essential energy, his or
her immune system's natural ability to fight cancer is increased.
Our mission is to help cancer patient:
- Cope with the side effects of cancer treatments, such as nausea, pain, fatigue, insomnia, etc.
- Comfort themselves and ease the anxiety of cancer treatment and related stress
- Strengthen their immune system to help them naturally ward off secondary illnesses
- Prolong and enhance their quality of life.
