IV Nutrient Therapy & Cancer
Holistique Medical Center
IV nutrient therapy is the process of giving vital nutrients to the body via the bloodstream by accessing the vein with a small needle. IV nutrient therapy is a way of getting vitamins, amino acids, minerals and other nutrients into the bloodstream quickly. Because the digestive system is bypassed, the nutrients are carried through the blood to where you need them the most. IV therapy is vital for treating patients with digestive conditions, malabsorptions syndromes, along with elderly who have difficulty digesting and absorbing nutrients. Other conditions effectively treated with IV nutrition therapy include chronic lyme disease, parkinson's, fibromyalgia, depression,migraines, asthma, hypertension, cancer, and many more.
The benefits of IV therapy are rapid and effective. (Learn more about IV Nutrition)


IV Vitamin C along with Vitamin K3 can be an important adjunctive therapy in treating cancer. Numerous studies have shown that Vitamin C at very high doses intravenously act as a chemotherapeutic agent specific to cancer cells. This means cancer cells are target and normal healthy cells are protected. Conventional chemotherapy along with IV Vitamin C therapy increases survival rate of cancer patients and is significantly more effective in reducing tumor size than chemotherapy on its own. ( Visit our online library for a complete list of research papers on effects of Vitamin C IV on cancer). When Vitamin K3 is added, the chemotherapeutic effects of Vitamin C are accentuated.

Holistique Medical Center Greetings!

Welcome to Holistique E-News.

As you may already know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Holistique Medical Center is on a mission: to inform and educate every male and female about the importance of breast health and prevention.

Did you know that breast cancer is the #2 cause of death in women? But did you also know that breast cancer and death from it are preventable? Early detection is the key to reducing death rates from breast cancer and Holistique Medical Center has the key to early detection and prevention:  Breast Thermography.

Breast Thermography is safe, sensitive, 90% accurate, and painless. Females (19 years old or older) are advised to have regular thermography screening to detect abnormalities which may lead to breast cancer later.

In support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Holistique Medical Center is offering Breast Thermography at a reduced fee of $197 (normally $260) for the month of October.

Knowledge leads to empowerment; empowerment to transformation, and transformation to optimal wellness.

Wishing you optimal success on your road to health and healing,

Dr. Nooshin K. Darvish

Breast Cancer Prevention

Holistique Medical Center Nearly all research point to simple life style changes that can easily prevent breast cancer. Although these steps do not provide a gaurantee that you won't develop cancer, they will reduce however the risk of developing the disease by 40%!

1) Consume organic fruits and vegetables
2) Eat only wild fish and grass fed meat
3) Reduce or eliminate alcohol
4) Maintain a healthy weight
5) Increase anti-oxidant intake such as CoQ10
6) Increase physical activity and exercise
7) limit the amount of fat (especially saturated and hydrogenated) in your diet
8) Minimize flaxseed oil and processed soy products such as tofu and soymilk
9) Remove dental amalgams
10) Avoid synthetic hormone therapy
11) Minimize use of birth control pills
12) Continually work through your anger, grief, and guilt. Suppression is not the answer, releasing is.

Early Detection
Holistique Medical Center
The next best thing to prevention is early detection. Early detection saves lives.

Here are a few suggestions:

1) Do regular monthly self exams and get to know your body. If you have fibrocystic breast tissue, draw a picture of the lumpy areas and check them once a month around the same time in your cycle

2) Do regular screening, Breast thermography and mammography.

3) Know your risk group, and act accordingly. For example, racial and ethnic background is a factor in assessing risk; African American women have a lower rate and Jewish women have a higher rate of breast cancer.

4) If you have a family history of breast cancer, start regular breast thermography screening at age 19 every 2 years until age 30. From age 30, yearly thermography is recommended for all females with or without risk factors.
Get to the Root!
Holistique Medical Center
And if you have already been diagnosed with breast cancer, been treated conventionally with chemotherapy, surgery and radiation, here is what you need to do to prevent it from coming back.

Conventional therapies remove the mass but they don't treat the underlying process that initially caused the cancer. This is where you need to do the work even after your oncologist has dismissed you as cancer-free. There are a few questions to answer and to work through:

1) Are your hormones in balance? Get them checked.
2) Are you iodine deficient? Iodine deficiency leads to thyroid and other hormone imbalances.
3) How are your thyroid and adrenal glands functioning?
4) Are you dealing with any hidden chronic infections such as yeast, parasites, or bacteria?
5) Are you holding on to estrogen in your breast tissue or are you able to detoxify it properly?
6) Are there any mineral deficiencies such as zinc and selenium deficiencies?
7) Do you have metal toxicity?
8) How is your diet?
9) Are you overweight?
10) Are you getting enough anti-oxidants?
11) And most importantly, are you suppressing emotions that you are not aware of?

These are often difficult question to answer, but we are here to help you through the process systematically. Once you work through all the above questions one step at a time, not only have you significantly reduced your risk for re-occurrence, but often times, you have attained optimal wellness and health.
 
So What is Breast Thermography?

ThHolistique Medical Centerermography is an imaging system of the temperature patterns and gradients used for the analysis and identification of underlying process within the body leading to cancer, pain, inflammation, and hormonal or metabolic condition. Thermography uses a highly sensitive infrared camera to image minute temperature changes occurring in the tiny capillaries of the body. Thermography is well researched and was approved by the FDA for use as a supportive breast cancer screening tool in 1982.

Thermography or Mammography? Both

Studies have shown Thermography to be 90% accurate in detecting thermal signs that may indicate the presence of breast cancer. The 10% of breast tumors that are missed on Thermography are more commonly the less aggressive and slow growing tumors. Mammography misses 20% of breast tumors and up to 40%, especially in females under the age of 50, i.e. those with more aggressive tumors.
Thermography does not replace mammography but is used in addition to increase the sensitivity of breast cancer screening.

Where as mammography, ultrasound, CT scans and MRI's are used to identify tumors AFTER the tumor has been formed, Thermography has the ability to identify the first thermal and chemical changes that may lead to tumor formation PRIOR to the existence of a tumor.

What do images look like?

A series of breasts images from different angles are taken and evaluated. The heat patterns in each image are studies and a report is written by the thermologist. You can view examples of thermal images with explanations (pdf) for breast thermograms.
