"Balancing your treatment needs to help you live a healthy tomorrow."

Cancer is a serious illness that demands the highest standards of medical practice. For any treatment programs to be successful they should integrate all treatment modalities from conventional and alternative medicine to Eastern/herbal medicine. This is often termed comprehensive cancer treatment or alternative cancer treatment, even though only a portion of the cancer treatment utilizes elements from alternative medicine. The Immune Recovery Centers of America are comprehensive medical facilities utilizing the latest research discoveries of conventional Western medicine integrated with proven Eastern treatments and recent alternative medical developments. We use a holistic approach in designing an individualized treatment program for each patient incorporating elements of all medical philosophies.

"Cancer and chronic disease cannot exist in the presence of a fully functioning immune system."

Cancer therapy is one of the most controversial subjects in medicine, both within the medical community and among the general population. The accepted conventional approaches of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy offer help for some, but the sad fact is that in the last thirty years we have gone from one person in seven being diagnosed with cancer to one in three. Clearly, cancer therapy as practiced in the conventional medical community is "losing the war on cancer." This has not gone unnoticed by the general population. Because conventional medicine is perceived to be failing them, many are seeking alternative cancer treatment. They see that surgery is the less drastic procedure and chemotherapy and radiation have become the cancer treatment considered less promising and more harmful. Alternative cancer therapy attempts to replace chemotherapy and radiation as the backup to surgery. The Immune Recovery Centers consider that all cancer therapy has a place and therefore classify themselves as integrative medicine clinics.

Today a compromised or dysfunctional immune system is recognized as being a major component of most chronic diseases. The immune system carries the burden of maintaining the health and proper functioning of the entire body. Our increasingly polluted and toxic environment harms the immune system more profoundly than is generally acknowledged by the medical profession. Immune failure leads to many diseased states and without immune recovery chronic diseases cannot be corrected. Most therapy, especially that of cancer, is directed toward treating the symptoms but not the underlying causes of the disease. Such treatment may offer temporary remission, but the failure rate is high.

The IRCs of America believe that the underlying causes of the disease must first be found and eliminated or controlled. These may be toxins, chronic viral infections, or both. Second, the immune system must be restored to a functioning state - immune reconstitution. Frequently, these steps alone may be adequate to reverse the disease state. However, a severe disease, such as cancer, often requires more. Therefore, the third aspect is a program of specific immune stimulation directed toward the disease itself. In the case of cancer, our centers hope to induce an immune rejection attack on the tumor itself, similar to the reaction found in organ and tissue transplant rejection. With cancer it is often necessary to defeat the defense systems the tumor has developed to protect itself. These defenses are often tumor manipulation of the immune function, such as producing suppressor T cells to counter the attack of natural killer cells. We call this the fourth modality contrasuppression of the immune system. With these treatments and corrections in place there is now hope for a successful cancer therapy.

Integrative medicine seeks to combine many aspects of conventional medicine with that of alternative medicine, Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy, nutrition and naturopathic medicine. In cancer therapy we believe that rational use of all treatment modalities is possible and that the sequence with which the various modalities are employed is critical to maximize the cancer therapy. Thus, some forms of immune therapy actually sensitize the cancer cells to later chemotherapy and radiation treatment, while use of chemotherapy and radiation before immune therapy renders the immune therapy less effective.

We are dedicated to bringing all useful therapy along in the fight against cancer. We may combine certain conventional drugs with alternative products in designing the best individualized treatment protocols for our patients. We maintain liaisons with clinic and research groups outside the United States where we may refer patients for therapy programs unavailable in the U.S.

"The primary function of the immune system is to protect the body from itself."

Our centers are based on the premise that an intact and functioning immune system is required to prevent chronic diseases such as cancer, and that such diseases cannot be reversed unless the compromised immune system is restored. When an impaired immune system exists it “misses” atypical cells that arise and that would normally be eliminated. The atypical cell is “allowed” to survive and progress to become a cancer. Therapies that only target the cancer (such as chemotherapy and radiation) and not the underlying causes too often lead to a short time remission of the disease. Thus the first aspect of our centers is immune recovery, the cornerstone of our program upon which we build our customized treatments.
