While not all types of cancer will involve surgery, some do.

One of the most well-known surgical treatments for cancer is to remove tumorous growths, but it can also be used to prevent cancer in those with a family history or condition that puts you at high risk of developing cancer.

It may also be used to help diagnose the exact type and stage of cancer you have, to relieve symptoms in a palliative setting, to repair damaged tissues, and more.

However, no matter the reason, surgery is always hard on the body.

A naturopathic doctor can help prepare your body for surgery, supporting your ability to recover so you can get back on your feet more quickly.

Naturopathic Treatments For Surgery

Before your surgery starts, it’s important to build up your nutrient reserves, and remove any supplements that may impede your recovery like natural blood thinners from your diet.

You’ll also benefit from natural supplements pre-surgery to help you deal with the anxiety of going under the knife, or the claustrophobia you may feel going into an MRI tube.

Then, once your surgery has been completed, the focus will again shift to building up your nutrient reserves, as well preventing infection and supporting collagen formation so that your body heals and repairs quicker.

In some cases, Dr. JJ may visit you at the hospital after surgery to help support your recovery.

The Surgery support may include the Protein IV or the Standard Nutrient (Myer’s cocktail) IV along with oral supplementation of vitamins, herbs, minerals, acupuncture and other treatments.
