A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming. From navigating treatments to managing side effects, it’s a journey that affects your body, mind, and spirit. While conventional treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery play a crucial role, they can also come with intense side effects that leave you feeling drained.
That’s where Integrative Cancer Care can help.
At Higher Health in Toronto, we provide science-backed natural therapies designed to work alongside conventional cancer treatments—not as a replacement, but as a supportive care system for your body and mind. Our goal is to help you feel stronger, recover faster, and maintain your well-being throughout treatment.
With the right integrative approach, you can:
✅ Support your immune system for better resilience
✅ Reduce side effects like nausea, fatigue, and brain fog
✅ Improve digestion and maintain energy levels
✅ Optimize nutrition to fuel your body and promote healing
Cancer care isn’t just about survival—it’s about living well through the process with the right support.
Cancer affects everyone differently, which is why we take a personalized approach to care. At Higher Health, we consider your unique needs, symptoms, and treatment plan to create an integrative support system that enhances your body’s ability to heal.
How Our Approach Works:
We Strengthen Your Immune System
Cancer treatments can weaken your immunity, making you more vulnerable to infections and fatigue. Our therapies help:
✅ Boost white blood cell production
✅ Reduce inflammation
✅ Replenish essential nutrients
We Minimize Treatment Side Effects
Many patients experience nausea, neuropathy, and digestive issues from chemotherapy and radiation. Our natural therapies help ease discomfort so you can feel more like yourself.
We Support Your Mental & Emotional Well-Being
A cancer diagnosis impacts more than just your body—it affects your emotions, stress levels, and sleep. We help you build resilience and manage stress so you feel more in control.
This isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about empowering you to feel stronger and healthier through every step of your journey.
We offer a comprehensive range of evidence-based natural therapies that support your treatment plan and improve overall well-being.
✔ IV Therapy for Cancer Support
Cancer treatments can deplete essential nutrients, making recovery harder. Our IV vitamin therapy delivers nutrients directly into your bloodstream for fast absorption and maximum benefit.
One of the most powerful nutrients we offer is high-dose vitamin C, which has been widely studied
for its immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. High-dose vitamin C may help:
🔹 Reduce oxidative stress and inflammation
🔹 Support the immune system to better tolerate treatment
🔹 Improve energy levels and overall recovery
🔹 Protect healthy cells while undergoing chemotherapy or radiation
By delivering vitamins and minerals directly into your system, IV therapy ensures that your body gets the nourishment it needs without relying on digestion, which can be affected by cancer treatments.
✔ Mistletoe Therapy for Immune Support
Used in Europe for decades, mistletoe therapy helps stimulate the immune system and improves the body’s ability to tolerate chemotherapy and radiation.
🔹 Enhances immune response
🔹 Reduces fatigue and nausea
🔹 Supports overall well-being and resilience
✔ Acupuncture for Symptom Relief
Acupuncture is a proven therapy that eases cancer treatment side effects like nausea, pain, and anxiety by improving circulation and triggering the body’s natural healing response.
🔹 Manages chemotherapy-induced nausea
🔹 Reduces pain and discomfort
🔹 Supports emotional well-being and relaxation
✔ Nutritional Guidance for Cancer Patients
The right nutrition can enhance recovery and energy levels. Our personalized meal plans are designed to:
🔹 Support digestion and gut health
🔹 Provide immune-boosting nutrients
🔹 Help manage treatment-related side effects
✔ Herbal & Supplement Support
Certain herbs and supplements can help your body stay strong throughout treatment. We ensure that everything we recommend is safe, effective, and tailored to work with your medical plan.
🔹 Reduces inflammation
🔹 Supports cellular repair
🔹 Boosts overall well-being
Every therapy we offer complements conventional cancer treatments—not replaces them—so you get the best of both worlds.
