    Anxiety about chemotherapy is to be expected. The well-known list of sideeffects - including pain, fatigue, nausea, and hair loss as well as other potentiallyserious complications - can seem as much or more debilitating than the cancer

    symptoms themselves.

    Despite these negative impacts, chemotherapy has proven effective in the ghtagainst many types of cancers. When a malignancy advances to life threateningstatus due to location or growth, chemotherapy is often a rst-line treatment forits ability to rapidly decrease the volume of the tumor.

    The Angeles Functional Oncology team prescribes chemotherapy treatmentonly when the need is emergent/essential, and vigilantly explore and assess

    advancements in conventional oncology and alternative medicine that willincrease the known efcacies of chemotherapy while reducing as much aspossible all negative impacts.

    Even if you are currently receiving chemotherapy at another medical center, youwill be able to enroll in the Angeles Cancer Support Program and receive allbenets, including SO3 Hyperthermia. Our program is designed to complementthe efforts of your primary care oncologist.

    Oxidants occur naturally as part of normal body processes, however harmfuloxidants (known as free radicals, which are forms of oxygen) can cause damageto the cells of the body. If these free radicals are not neutralized, they can workagainst the immune system and develop degenerative diseases including manyknown cancers.

    There are two types of oxidants:

    1) Those produced as a by product of the cells normal metabolic functionOxidants can be normal waste produced through our cells normal metabolism,for example the typical normal cellular waste following a protein-rich mealsproduces these types of oxidants

    2) Those produced by chemicals, synthetic chemicals and heavy metals, a listthat includes pesticides, some antibiotics used to promote agricultural animalgrowth, colorant preservatives, pesticides, industrial pollution, mercury, anynumber of toxins (cigarette smoke, industrial solvents and cleaners, aerosolsprays).

    Cancer Support& regulation

    The frst component o the Cancer Support Program is Oxidative Preconditioning Therapy.

    Oxidants are substances in our body that can damage our cells.

    Oxidative Preconditioning Therapy

    AngelesFunctio

    nalOncology

    Oxidants are harmful because they are molecularly

    unstable and grab electrons, especially from

    cell membranes, DNA and mitochondria. These

    unstable oxygen atoms get accumulated when

    your body doesnt have enough anti-oxidants

    to neutralize them. These free radicals can be

    removed by proper intake of anti-oxidants.

    Antioxidants are substances that easily donate

    electrons, and so neutralize oxidants before

    they can harm cells. Your body produces natural

    antioxidants. As well, you can ingest them easily

    in a diet of natural foods; Vitamins A, C, and E are

    natural anti-oxidants and are readily available in

    fruits and vegetables. Additionally, antioxidants

    can be taken as oral supplements.

    However, far from providing any additional benet

    presence of too many oxidants in the body inhibit

    ability to neutralize them, creating a condition ca

    oxidative stress.

    Chemotherapy agents attack cancer cells largely

    acting as potent oxidants, but they do not disting

    between malignant and normal cells, and

    damage healthy as well as cancer tissue. Oxid

    Preconditioning Therapy is intended to boost or reinf

    the capacity of the bodys normal tissues to withs

    the oxidative stressors imposed by chemotherapy.

    The intent of Oxidative Preconditioning Therapy

    make chemotherapy more tolerable for the pa

    while simultaneously improving the ability of

    cancer treatment to destroy the tumor.

    A synergy unlike any other is produced

    when combining SO3Hyperthermia

    with known cancer fghting agents

    The preponderance of clinical evidence fromthe US and Europe indicates that hyperthermiais maximally effective when the patient isexposed at the desired temperature (42C) for alength of 2-3 hours. The highly technical andcomplex nature of this procedure requires astrict, hospital-controlled environment.

    Te Process In the SO3H technique, blood is extracted in a constant ow andheated up to 45C by the SO3H system. Ozone is then integratedinto the blood through an Ozonication & UV device that processesthe blood. Before returning to the body the hyper-oxygenated-heated blood passes through a detoxication lter to cleanse it oftoxins and cellular debris.

    Throughout the procedure the patient is monitored by trainedstaff and by the SO3H System at all times.

    Systemic Ozonized Hyperthermia

    Your Angeles Functional Oncology team has created a proprietary system of treatment that incorporatesboth Hyperthermia and Ozone therapies.

    Scientists know that when the cells of the body are exposehigher than normal temperatures, changes take place inthe cells, and that some of these changes can be harnesto increase the likely effectiveness of orthomolecular cantreatments. The earliest attempts to treat cancer using were met with mixed results due in large part to the difchallenge inherent in regulating the ideal temperature t

    specic part of the body while limiting potentially invaor deleterious effects on other parts of the body.

    SO3H Impact on

    Cancer cells

    Today, advancements such as the SO3Hsystem provide superior control andprecision heat delivery.

    Under normal conditions, tumor cells areinvisible to the immune system; however,

    under the inuence of heat and UV exposuretumor cells will form heat shock proteins ,effective identiers of non-healthy cells thatappear on the surface of the degeneratedcells. The bodys immune system detectsthese proteins as extraneous cells, triggeringits immune cells to ght the cancer cells.

    Unlike healthy human cells that love oxygen,cancer cells are anaerobic, i.e. cannot live in

    high oxygen concentrations. Overexposureto oxygen in tumor cells, also known asthe Hypothermic Ozonication, results inover-acidication of the heated cells and aconsequent nutrient deciency in the tumorCellular metabolism is destroyed, resultingin apoptosis (dell death) of the tumor cells.

    Cellular biologists have also detected malignant cells have an increased ratglycolysis, which increases the producof lactate.

    Ozone therapy has the impact

    signicantly decreasing lactate productindicating successful inhibition of metabolism. Tumor cells suffer a peroxintolerance due to insufcient peroxidand catalase; ozone is thus able to oxidthe outer lipid layer of malignant cells destroy them through cell lysis.

    Chronic disease in any of its forms has taken control of our lives andfuture. Chronic disease is continuous. There is rarely a cure. Thepatient usually lives indenitely with the disease and its symptoms,with persistent treatment and with multiple consequences, includingnecessary behavioral changes to forestall worsening of the disease,social and economic dislocation, emotional turmoil, nancial fear,lowered self-esteem, and depression.

    This complex form of disease cant be effectively dealt by a single

    person or doctor, nor can treatment for chronic disease be effectivelysegmented such as what happens when seen by not one but multiplespecialists, with different doctors focused only on performingthe correct intervention for their particular view, knowledgeand experience. Both of these traditional approaches to diseasemanagement are missing the big picture - YOU, the patient.

    YOU are a complex living organism interactingwith your environment based on may factorsincluding your body and genetic blueprint, yourexperiences and even your beliefs. Such acomplex organism requires a specic approach

    to be able to understand all that is involved inthe response against disease; for the most trulyeffective approach to treatment, it is imperativeto consider the whole structure even whenfocusing on one system or organ or even onesymptom. We must never forget the WHOLE.

    a Team approach that makes sense... and YOU are a part o it!

    The Core Team

    The multiple members and disciplines ofthis team are considered to be of crucialimportance when facing chronic illness, aseach one provides a key view of the differentaspects of the patients own unique internaland external environment. These teammembers ensure a global and panoramic viewof the clinical scenario needed to make thenecessary interventions to regain balance andhealth.

    The core team consists of a functional doctor, a biological dentist, a functional psychologist aa clinical nutritionist. Together your team members will take into consideration your medhistory, results of your initial assessment, and the various medical evaluations of each disciplifrom which, an analysis and therapeutic plan are created and implemented immediately.

    Depending on the overall condition of your health and the severity and number of probleyou present, a specic specialist or specialists may be called upon to join the core team. Thadditional assessments, recommendations and/or procedures will be incorporated into yoverall treatment plan making any necessary modications if required. The mission of this teamnot only to analyze and treat but also to educate you, the patient regarding any and all importinformation related to his condition.The team is in constant communication, considering every single important aspect from perspectives and to always maintain the vision of the WHOLE, and thereby achieving the bgoal of the functional medicine approach: treating YOU and not the disease

    Such complex conditions require multidisciplinary team of professionals worTOGETHER for a comprehensive understandof your situation, bringing together critical stpoints in an effort to minimize the possibility

    human error, as well as to avoid the poteexclusion of what could be consider not so vinformation in relation to your problem/s.

    Functional Physician

    Trained to improve patient outcomes through prevention, earlyassessment and comprehensive management of complex chronicdisease, your core functional team leader accomplishes this by

    identifying and healing the underlying clinical imbalances of chronicdisease while creating momentum towards health. Your functionalphysician will be the primary channel through which all medicalinformation will ow, and will lead the effort to integrate theinformation provided by the rest of the functional team specialists.

    Spiritual Psychologist

    Often called the untouched organ -- and for many doctors not a part of the

    overall chronic problem -- your mind lters everything surrounding it, aidedby your experiences, thoughts, beliefs and fears. In the functional approach totreatment, the mind plays a key role during disease management. Our psychologistare not only trained in conventional therapy but also utilize a wide array ofinterventions intended to help heal the mind along with the body. Among theseare: Energy Medicine, Energy Psychology, Focusing and Emotional Medicine.Mind and body are as equally important to us

    Biological Dentist

    Today there are many studies that can demonstrate and scientically provehow dental issues can create or be the root cause of systemic conditions orrepercussions. Our goal is to determine the possible systemic relation if found withany undetected or previously established dental problems. In contrast, biologicalpractitioners try to nd the systemic causes of illness. To remove the root cause isto take a major step towards healing. As a rule, we opt for the least invasive, leasttraumatic and least toxic means of diagnosis and treatment. True biological caresupports the bodys natural abilities of self-healing and regeneration.

    Clinicalnutritionist

    Lets start by explaining that in the presence of disease everything changes whenit comes to nutrition. Our nutritionist is trained exactly for that, to know yournutritional needs under the stressful condition of chronic illness. Nutrition is theessence of our treatment, making it the rst line of therapy: food as medicine.To do this, our nutritionist will take a detailed nutritional history and clinicalassessment allowing him to tailor a specic-to-your-needs organic diet. Ourfood is free of chemicals, additives, preservatives, colorants. When it comes totreatment, Organic does make the difference.
