Vessel Journey: Navigating Your Cancer Terrain

A Cancer Diagnosis can be daunting which is why having compassionate guidance to build a foundational plan with knowledgable guidance every step of the way can make a massive difference in outcomes.

Cancer Remediation

Evidence-Informed, Root-Cause-Oriented Cancer Support with Dr. Elise Sulser

This one-on-one, 4-month program is designed for individuals seeking a deeper, more personalized approach to cancer care—whether you’re currently in treatment, in remission, or looking to reduce risk of recurrence.

Grounded in the latest research in integrative oncology and terrain-based medicine, the Cancer Remediation Journey goes beyond symptom management to explore and address the underlying biological, emotional, and environmental factors that contribute to cancer development.

Through in-depth lab analysis and comprehensive health assessments, we identify the specific imbalances in your body’s terrain—such as inflammation, hormonal dysregulation, detoxification blockages, nutrient deficiencies, and immune system shifts—that may have allowed cancer to take root.

Together, we build a clear and individualized roadmap using naturopathic and functional strategies to support your healing process, restore resilience, and empower you with a deeper understanding of your body.

This is more than a protocol—it’s a partnership. A guided process of reconnecting with your health, your story, and your strength.

Your body is your Vessel

It is your home for this lifetime and we will be on a journey to uncover where you may have been disconnected from your health, purpose, and wellness. You will have compassionate guidance back to your roots at a time when life asks us big questions about what is important to us. This container is a blend of the best care that Naturopathic Medicine can offer, education and support in creating an anti-cancer life, Cancer Doula support, and practices to facilitate a return home to yourself.

OUR APPROACH TO CANCER CARE

"It's a time to pause, take a deep breath, and re-evaluate our war on cancer.

It is time to approach cancer treatment and healing methodically and logically from a multifaceted standpoint. To win the war on cancer, we must realize and utilize a systems approach that addresses cancer on many biological levels and including healing of the mind, the body and the spirit. If we are to transform our health care, we must begin by transforming ourselves."

-Dr. Lise Alschuler and Karolyn Gazella, The Definitive Guide to Cancer:

CANCER CARE MEETS TERRAIN THEORY

Terrain theory shifts the focus from treating the end stage of a disease, such as a cancer tumor, to understanding the conditions in the body that allowed cancer cells to develop over time. Instead of treating the metaphorical "weed" (cancer cells) with poisons, we ask how we can take better care of the soil so that the healthy cells can grow with vibrancy and vitality.

A terrain-based approach may include, but is not limited to:

  • Addressing metabolic dysfunction

  • Epigenetic factors

  • Nutritional status

  • Hormone imbalances

  • Microbial dysbiosis

  • Stress and emotional well-being

  • Toxin burden

  • Circadian rhythms

  • Immune system function

  • Inflammation

  • Angiogenesis

Taking a collaborative approach while employing these 10 components of Terrain Theory, we will co-create health, finding unique solutions and strategies best suited for each individual. I bring a discerning and curious eye to both conventional and alternative medicine, striving to work with you as a guide and partner on your path to wholeness.

What is Naturopathic Oncology?

Integrative oncology is gaining recognition for its role in the cancer world. It is not here to fight against conventional cancer care but rather to come alongside to support the body through an individualized approach and to give patients a wider toolkit for survival and thriving.

While some people may strongly support an all-or-nothing approach—either all conventional care or all alternative care—the most effective approach often combines the best evidence-supported methods from both worlds.

In this age of the internet, countless online resources and books are sharing anecdotal information on how people have healed their cancer. However, as the field of cancer care is constantly evolving it takes an involved and expert approach to target therapies to an individual’s cancer. It is easy to cause more harm than good and even accelerate a disease process with an improper approach, so it is strongly encouraged to choose a Naturopathic Doctor with additional training in the oncology specialty when considering your care team.

The ONCANP was formed to help the public identify credible and qualified practitioners in the field of cancer.

Extensive research in Naturopathic modalities has shown that it can be helpful for:

  • Improving the quality of life during and after a cancer diagnosis

  • Symptom relief during treatments

  • Improving the efficacy of cancer treatments and supporting the use of a minimal effective dose of pharmaceuticals in some cases

  • Improve patient outcomes

  • Aiding the body in the recovery and preventing the reoccurrence of disease

The goals of Naturopathic Medicine are to remove the barriers to cure, educate, and empower patients, and give the body its ideal requirements for healing.

Modalities often employed in Naturopathic cancer care can include but are not limited to the following:

  • Metabolism dysfunction and poorly functioning mitochondria is a hallmark of cancer. Therapeutic diets such as keto, plant-based, amino acid restriction therapies and supported fasting can be an essential part to shifting the cellular energy source in the body, nourishing your healthy cells and starving the cancer cells depending on your cancer type.

  • Through Dr. Sulsers referral partners, depending on your location, IV therapy can be an incredible addition to cancer care. These therapies have been shown in the research to reduce chemotherapy toxicity, reduce cancer related symptoms, act as cytotoxic agents in fast growing caner cells, boosting proper immune response against cancer and acts synergistically with many standard therapies.

    Examples of IV therapies depending on your location and availability to treatments: Vitamin C I’vs, ALA, IV ozone, IV glutathione, curcumin, EGCG ect

  • Mistletoe is one of the most researched botanicals in history and is widely used throughout Europe for cancer care. Mistletoe has many multifaceted actions against cancer including promoting apoptosis, inhibiting metastasis, DNA stabilization and enhances immune response.

  • Herbal remedies that are highly custom to support the organs and systems of the body.

  • In our modern world exposures to things such as glyphosates, heavy metals, mycotoxins and much more can impact our health and drive disease. Chelation therapies are specifically targeted towards pulling toxins out of the body.

    • Immune boosting therapies

    • HBOT

    • Frequency and hyperthermia treatments

    • Hydrotherapy
