Overview of Our Approach
1. Seeing the Doctor
When the doctor sees you, he will review your case history, review labs, scans, and discuss your situation. The doctor may request additional testing and will explain our approach to your particular situation and recommend a treatment program. Since your initial visit at LifeWorks is likely to be longer than other office visits you’ve had, you should plan to be at our offices a full half-day.
2. Treating The Breast Cancer
Don’t mistake our integrative breast cancer approach for being gentle with breast cancer. It’s not. It’s very aggressive with breast cancer but much gentler on your body. The program is tailor-made for you, to aggressively attack the breast cancer. The doctor may recommend a special very low-dose chemotherapy treatment option. This treatment does the maximum damage to breast cancer cells and the least amount of harm to the rest of your body.
3. Supporting the Body
While attacking breast cancer, we’ll use a mix of integrative therapies to support your entire body so it can effect maximum healing. These treatments & therapies are restorative and work together with the breast cancer treatment protocol to increase your body’s natural energy production so it can fight harder, enhance repair, and heal.
4. Building up the Immune System
We’ll get your immune system in tip-top shape too, so it can put up the maximum offense and a strong defense. By taking away the barriers to a properly functioning immune system, it can better identify and eliminate cancerous cells in the body.
5. Enhancing Detoxification
It is very common in breast cancer patients for their detoxification organs to be compromised, which affects your immune system and contributes to cellular dysfunction and robs your body of its health, energy, and resources it needs to fight the cancer. We’ll fix this so that your detoxification pathways are running optimally.
6. Nourishing the Body
We’ll also design a diet to follow while on this regimen to starve the breast cancer cells of the fuel they use to survive and replicate. Cancerous cells have been shown to have a dysfunctional cellular metabolism and we’ll use this to our advantage to weaken them so our alternative breast cancer treatments and your immune system can kill them off. We’ll also thoroughly nourish your body using superior nutrition, nutritional IVs, and the best supplements.

Breast Cancer Treatment Therapies
Below you will find more information about some of the tools we employ in our alternative breast cancer treatment program.
Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT)
Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) is a very low-dose form of chemotherapy
Mechanism of Action: Cancer cells are always hungry for sugary. It is a hallmark of their metabolism. In IPT we give the patient some insulin, which tricks the cancer cells to open up and receive the low dose chemotherapy, leaving the healthy cells mostly unharmed.
Fewer Side Effects. With a much smaller smaller dose of chemo, the patient does not usually experience debilitating hair loss, nausea or the other symptoms.
The treatment does less damage to healthy parts of the body and there is much much less toxicity introduced into the body.
Ozone Therapy Packs a Punch
We complement Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) with ozone therapy since cancer cells struggle to survive in an oxygen-rich environment.
Ozone therapy infuses the body with massive amounts of oxygen and energizes the healthy cells in the body and the immune system, and this may help them to fight back against breast cancer.
Hyperthermia Therapy Supercharges Treatment
Hyperthermia is the application of heat to parts of the body to increase blood flow and enhance the efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients. It also super-charges & enhances our low-dose chemotherapy (IPT) protocol.
For decades we’ve witnessed the miraculous benefits of I-Therm as part of a comprehensive alternative breast cancer treatment program; cancerous tumors shrink; pain is alleviated; neurological conditions improve and healing occurs more rapidly.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Hypoxia is a hallmark of cancerous tumors and cells. Cancerous cells maintain a very low level of oxygen to improve their survival, growth, and ability to spread (metastasis).
Saturating tissues with high levels of oxygen (14x normal) via HBOT disrupts the metabolism of cancer cells, making it difficult for them to survive and leaving them vulnerable to IPT treatments. The increased oxygen delivered by HBOT also serves to encourage natural cellular healing, tissue repair, circulation and bolsters the immune system.
IV Therapies Strengthen Immune Function
We also strengthen the patient’s immune system with IV Therapies and oral nutritional protocols which maximize the potential for recovery.
These help supply the body with vital nutrients needed for repair and healing and resolves any nutritional deficiencies which are often present in cancer patients.
A Successful Whole-Body Approach
This is a whole-body, alternative breast cancer approach, unlike anything you’ve experienced. It treats the body as a whole organism that needs all its parts working together synergistically. By perfecting the health of your body and delivering targeted therapies, it brings to bear the superior power of a perfectly functioning immune system.
We have successfully treated hundreds of breast cancer patients for over two decades using this state-of-the-art, integrative, and complementary approach. It’s gentle on the body but extremely tough on cancer.
We invite you to explore all your treatment options thoroughly and encourage you to reach out to us to schedule a consultation so you can learn all about a more natural, less toxic alternative breast cancer treatment option.

Breast Cancer Symptoms
Breast cancer originates from the breast tissue, usually from the inner lining of milk ducts or the lobules that supply the ducts with milk. Breast cancer occurs as a result of mutations, or abnormal changes, in the genes responsible for regulating the growth of cells and keeping them healthy.
Often, the first noticeable breast cancer symptom is the detection of a lump that is noticeably different from the rest of the breast or a lump may be found in the lymph nodes, within the armpits which may also indicate breast cancer.
Common Breast Cancer Symptoms
- a hard lump, noticeably different from the rest of the breast
- a lump found in or around the armpits
- one breast becoming enlarged or changing in shape
- a nipple changing position
- a nipple becoming inverted
- dimpling of the skin
- a growing vein in the breast
- a red or hot area of the breast
- sores on the breast
- discharge from nipple
- constant pain in a part of the breast or armpit
- swelling beneath the armpit or around the collarbone.
Stages of Breast Cancer
While breast cancer often starts in the breast, left untreated the cancer cells can migrate to nearby healthy breast tissue and can make their way into the lymph nodes located in the underarm.
Your lymph nodes are a part of the body’s filtration system, designed to eliminate and remove foreign substances. If breast cancer cells get into the lymph nodes, they have a pathway into other parts of the body.
The stages of breast cancer are expressed by a number on a scale of 0 through IV and we describe these in the next section.
Classification of Cancer Stages
These 7 factors have made identifying the stage of breast cancer more complex, but more accurate.
Original Three Classifications
There are several characteristics that are used in determining the stage of breast cancer. The original 3 factors were T, N & M:
- (T) – the size of the cancer tumor and whether or not it has grown into nearby tissue
- (N) – is cancer in the lymph nodes
- (M) – did cancer spread to other parts of the body beyond the breast
Four New Classifications Added In 2018
- Tumor Grade – a grading to show how much the cancer cells resemble normal cells
- Estrogen & Progesterone Receptor Status – do the cancer cells have receptors for estrogen and progesterone hormones
- HER2 Status – are the cancer cells making a lot of the HER2 protein
- Oncotype DX score – a score is given based on whether the cancer is estrogen-receptor-positive, HER2-negative and if there is no cancer in the lymph nodes
Natural Breast Cancer Screening
At LifeWorks Wellness Center, we encourage all of our female patients to have an annual thermography session, which is the use of thermal imaging to provide early detection of any abnormalities in the breasts, sometimes up to 10 years in advance of breast cancer occurring.
It is our opinion that this is a safer, more accurate screening method than mammograms which carry radiation risk and only detect changes in breast tissue when actual structural changes have already taken place.
History of Breast Cancer
Breast cancer, one of the earliest acknowledged forms of cancer due to its visibility, was first described in Egypt around 1600 BC, with the first mastectomy performed in 548 AD. From ancient Greece through the 17th century, it was believed to be caused by excess black bile. In the 17th century, doctors linked breast cancer’s spread to the lymph nodes.
Mastectomies remained the standard medical procedure in America until the 1970s, when a new understanding of metastasis gave recognition to cancer as a systemic illness as well as a localized one, and new procedures were developed that proved effective to varying degrees.
