Integrative Cancer Care Albany New York Immune Support, Cell Repair, Faster Recovery

Integrative Medicine is a rapidly growing field of medicine that seeks to integrate the best of western scientific medicine with the wisdom of complementary practices, including clinical nutrition, acupuncture, herbal, botanical and vitamin supplement therapies, manual techniques, energy healing and mind/body medicine.

Improvement and optimization of immune system functioning
Proper guidance and timing of anti-oxidant and detoxification treatments

The first two years of schooling mirror the basic science medical school curriculum while the last three years focus on clinical allopathic and complementary clerkships.

Founded upon a holistic philosophy, naturopathic medicine combines safe and effective traditional therapies with the most current advances in modern medicine.
