Functional Medicine Concept for Cancer.

Jirung Health Village and Jirung Clinic’s Treatment Program for Cancer is based on the Functional Medicine concept that ;
 

Findings of basic and clinical research indicate that malignant tumors do not develop in a healthy body with intact regulatory, repair and defense functions. They present in a specific imbalances of internal bodily environment, which promotes their growth. This imbalance environment develops over a period of time due to multiple causes and conditions, which usually persist and remain chronically active even after removal of the tumor (by surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy). These remaining causes are considered to be responsible for the formation of new (secondary) tumors, which occur after conventional treatment in every second cancer patient, according to World Statistics.

Hence, treatment of the imbalances of internal environment by eliminating causal factors and preconditions that can lead to the development of a cancer tumor is as important as the treatment of the tumor itself.
 

According to this functional medicine concept that cancer starts as a locally confined growth, all measures concentrated on the cancer tumor and cells, seem causal and exhaustive.

Treating the tumor alone, however, is not treating the condition that is producing it, i.e. the underlying systemic imbalances. The functional medicine concept considers cancer a systemic disease from the onset and the cancer tumor as its main symptom. Therefore, it calls for a comprehensive treatment strategy.

Jirung’s Cancer Treatment Program.

The Cancer Treatment protocols must be individualized and integrate conventional and advanced and research-based complementary /alternative immunobiological methods.

The Cancer Treatment at Jirung complements the conventional treatments of cancer in the following fundamental ways:

Following this concept ,Our Functional Treatment Program for Cancer has two lines of approach, which are of equal importance and complement each other:

The Non-Specific Basic Therapy corresponds with the etiological path leading to the functional imbalances, immuno-insufficiency and the cancer disease. It is modified to suit the individual patient's needs. It consists of:

The Non-Specific Basic Therapy is a long-term one without any toxic side effects and aims at the regeneration of the "big resistance," which comprises all the normal physiologic defenses. These normal physiologic defense are successive, closely interrelated and under neuro-hormonal control. The blockade of only one function in this web-like interconnection, for example of the excretion or even the blockade of the control system, such as the autonomic nervous system, may contribute indirectly to a lowering of the total defense potential.

The Non-Specific basic Treatment Components are natural substances and modalities with no or few side effects to some patients. They enhance each other by following a special treatment system developed over many years. They include, but are not limited to:

A specific advance therapy directed against the tumor itself, such as surgery, radiation, chemo/hormone therapy, adoptive immunotherapy and stem cell therapy.

The adoptive immunotherapy is designed to break through this "tolerance". It is a unique blend of non-toxic treatment modalities that complement and enhance one another in an effort to attack the cancer and at the same time to restore the body's regulatory, repair and defense systems, of which the immune system is one important part. In general terms, some of these treatments work on the levels of the biochemical defense and help cancer cells undergo differentiation as encoded in the genes that cause them to die through programmed cell death called apoptosis. Other treatment modalities work on the levels of cell-mediated and humoral immunities. It is a proprietary program that is only available at Jirung Health Village and Jirung Clinic.
 

Experience has shown that adoptive immunotherapy opens up the following therapeutic possibilities:

* DISCLAIMER: The extent of the response to treatment varies from patient to patient, even with similar diagnosis as the internal bodily environment is unique to each individual patient.
