Advanced Alternative Colon Cancer Treatment
Stop feeling helpless – you still have options!
Colon and rectum cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in both men and women. In most cases, cancer of the colon does not have any symptoms and is therefore usually found and treated in its advanced stages when the success rate is reduced. This is why preventative screening is 
very important, especially if there is a family history of colon cancer.
Colorectal cancer includes cancers located in the the colon, rectum, appendix and anus. They can occur anywhere in the large intestine but they usually occur in the right ascending colon. Blood in the stool is often the first and sometimes the only warning sign of cancer. Many times, however, having a history of colon polyps precedes colon cancer diagnosis.
There was an estimated 160,000 newly diagnosed colon and rectal cancer cases in 2006 in the U.S. Many of these new cases and deaths are preventable with improvements in dietary nutrition, regular check-ups and an increase in daily exercise habits. As with most cancers, when colorectal cancer is detected early, survival rates are much higher.
At Sunridge Medical, our highly-trained physicians are experts in providing an integrated approach to the treatment of colon cancer. Our treatment plans are individualized, even for patients with the same type of cancer, and involve both traditional and alternative medicines. We have integrated advanced, research-based alternative medicines with conventional therapies into a comprehensive, individualized treatment program that offers patients optimal success.
Our physicians have found that symptoms can frequently be improved and even reversed with our natural colon cancer treatments. We take a holistic approach to patient care and strive to not only treat the cancer, but also alleviate symptoms, increase quality of life and most importantly, address the underlying cause of the disease.
Even if standard treatments have reached their limits, patients with colon cancer still have treatment options.
