BlogWelcome to New Hope Cancer Center!
According to the Center for Disease Control (www.cdc.gov), cancer is currently the second leading cause of death in the United States, surpassed only by heart disease. The National Cancer Institute (www.cancer.gov) estimates that over 1.4 million people will be diagnosed with cancer in 2008. More than a half-million people in the U.S. will die from cancer this year, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
The National Cancer Institute’s statistics also show that there are approximately 11 million cancer survivors. Since the early 1990s, the rate of cancer incidence has declined. At New Hope Medical Center, we believe this is largely due to the fact that more patients are thinking and acting proactively when it comes to their cancer treatment options. If you have recently been diagnosed with cancer, it is important to remember that you have a choice when it comes to your healthcare.
The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) defines complementary and alternative medicine as “a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional medicine” (http://nccam.nih.gov). Complementary medicine is distinguishable from alternative medicine in that complementary is used together with conventional medicine while alternative medicine replaces conventional all together. The team at New Hope Medical Center in Scottsdale, AZ is dedicated to helping patients with chronic degenerative diseases and immune disorders by creating individual complementary medicinal regimens for each patient’s needs.
The physicians and staff at New Hope Medical Center believe that, while no cancer treatment offers a 100% success rate, a proper combination of complementary and traditional cancer treatments has the potential not only to improve a patient’s quality of life but also to increase the patient’s life expectancy.
Is traditional high dose chemotherapy or radiation therapy as effective without the New Hope Medical Center Treatment Method?
Although these traditional treatments have been labeled as effective, New Hope Medical Center feels that high doses of chemotherapy are not for everyone. The standard approach to cancer treatment can have numerous devastating side effects that deplete the immune system. The various side effects of high dose Chemotherapy have been thought to be responsible for pneumonia, chronic fatigue, and in many cases death. Basically, without a healthy immune system, chemotherapy may be the only line of defense against the cancer. New Hope Medical Center believes it is important to balance the harsh effects of chemotherapy and radiation with non-invasive, immune-building treatments that allow the patient’s own defense systems to fight the cancer as well.
New Hope Medical Center has treated thousands of patients by merging traditional treatment with alternative cancer treatments.
The New Hope Method uses a lower dose of chemotherapy (metronomic) in conjunction with multiple immune-boosting alternative protocols. New Hope’s physicians believe the New Hope Method of cancer treatment offers patients greater results with fewer negative side effects. From our experience, patients tend to have little to no negative side effects from the lower doses of radiation. This process is designed to allow the body’s immune system to stay intact and help fight for the patient during cancer treatment. Many studies about alternative cancer treatments are available on the Internet by searching the words “Low Dose Chemotherapy” or “Metronomic Chemotherapy.”

Why is the Immune System so important with the fight against cancer?
Traditional medicine's attitude and track record indicate that if you walk in the door with cancer, you are most likely going to walk out of the door with roughly the same initial therapy that 95 percent of the other cancer patients with that particular cancer receive.
Individuals respond differently to their disease and therefore respond differently to treatments. The physicians at New Hope Medical Center treat every patient differently with the use of alternative cancer treatments. Each patient's history, medical records, symptoms, and medical tests are studied and are given a protocol to meet their needs. The New Hope Treatment Method. New Hope's focus is on building and increasing the body's immune system. Finding the patient's balance is very important when someone has cancer. As we strive to rid the body of cancer, we will not "tear down the body" without "trying to rebuild the immune system". It is very important to keep a good balance. The New Hope Treatment Method aims to restore the natural regulatory and defense mechanisms of our cancer patients and those suffering from conditions such as Hepatitis, Multiple Sclerosis, Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS) and many other chronic degenerative diseases.
Many traditional treatments may lower the immune system. In return, this could lower the patient's blood values, thus weakening the patient's overall health. The patient may become dehydrated from vomiting or diarrhea. Finding a medical balance is critical when treating cancer. Early and Late Stage cancer patients should focus on their body's immune system to potentially increase their chance of survival.
Cancer cells do not take a day off. Instead cancer continues to grow, whether fast or slow growing, 24 hours a day. Do not wait and see yourself go from early stage to late stage. Please be Pro-Active.
At New Hope Medical Center we see Early Stage patients and Late Stage patients through different eyes. Every patient gets their own individualized protocol! No two people are alike and no cancers are the same hence the importance of these alternative cancer treatments.

How can proper nutrition increase my changes of beating cancer?
It is important that we ingest the essential nutrients that have been clinically-proven to be crucial for optimal health and healing. These are the proteins (the building blocks of our immune system), the right fats and whole grain carbohydrates, and vitamins and minerals. It is equally important that our body gets the enzymes contained in life food. Enzymes are the catalysts that break down the molecules of our food into molecules that our body can absorb. Without enzymes we would not even be able to make use of the vitamins and minerals we eat.
Enzymes play an essential part not only in the digestion of our food, but also in the "digestion" of the fibrin coating of cancer cells, as well as fibrin and immune complexes in the blood plasma.
The New Hope board certified nutritionists teach patients and families nutrition according to their individual types and requirements, which is an irreplaceable part of our alternative cancer treatments. Since most traditional facilities do not address the importance of nutrition, it is not astounding that our nutritional habits can become a causal factor in the development of disease and also in the healing process.

Why is detoxification an integral part of New Hope's cancer treatment?
No other generation in the past has been exposed to so many man-made chemicals and toxic substances. The air we breathe is polluted, the water we drink is not clean, the food we eat is processed, our lifestyle is sedentary, our body cells lack oxygen, vitamins, minerals and enzymes, our organs detoxification and excretion processes are overwhelmed, and our body is overloaded with waste products and toxic metabolites which render it vulnerable to all sorts of bacteria and viruses.
The human body possesses self-regulatory mechanisms that are self-healing. A healthy body is capable of eliminating the toxic substances generated by its normal functioning and imposed on it by an unnatural lifestyle. If the production of toxic metabolites and the ingestion of toxic substances overwhelm the organs of detoxification and excretion, the body stores these substances in the connective tissues, which become impeded in their important tasks of regulation and defense. Imbalance results and malaise signals us that the body is trying to get rid of toxins and needs help to help itself. Our first aid to the body is to relieve it from the burden of waste and toxic substances so that its regulatory self-healing mechanisms can function again.
Detoxification is a decisive step towards restoration of the body's regulatory mechanisms and reversal of diseased cells to the behavior of normal cells.
At New Hope Medical Center, we use safely proven and effective detoxification methods to alleviate the body from the load of toxic substances and waste, in order to enhance our treatment results.
It is crucial to reduce the load of toxins accumulated in the liver tissues, and thus enhance its power of detoxification.
With all our patients, whether they suffer from cancer or a chronic degenerative disease, we try to improve the function of the liver, kidneys, colon, lung, skin, and lymph system by using individual protocols within our alternative cancer treatments according to each patient's needs.
