What We Do
Integrative Cancer Care at Peterborough Centre of Naturopathic Medicine means we work in collaboration with oncologists and family physicians to develop therapeutic protocols that reduce side effects, improve tolerability, and optimize success rates.
Conventional treatments are excellent at eliminating tumors and cancer from the body. We are not against that. Our integrative therapies work in tandem by strengthening the terrain of the entire body.
