Role of Ayurveda and Nutraceuticals in Cancer Management Art of Healing Cancer Highlights Science-Backed Approach

Gurgaon, Haryana, India – Business Wire India

In the field of cancer research, the tireless efforts of doctors and scientists have led to remarkable breakthroughs in recent years. Innovative work has resulted in the development of new drugs, medicines, and therapies that can either cure or extend the lives of cancer patients. Conventional treatment modalities, such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy, have come a long way in terms of effectiveness and safety, becoming essential tools in the fight against cancer. These advancements have brought hope to millions of patients and their families, and the ongoing efforts of researchers in the field continue to offer promise for a brighter future.

Despite the tremendous progress made in cancer research, a large majority of patients still succumb to the disease, and many challenges need to be addressed. One major issue is drug resistance, which occurs when cancer cells become resistant to chemotherapy drugs, rendering them ineffective. Furthermore, cancer stem cells have been identified as a significant obstacle to successful cancer treatment, as they are capable of self-renewal, leading to metastasis and recurrence.

As the search for new solutions to challenges in cancer treatment continues, an integrative approach that combines conventional treatments with traditional therapies may hold promise. Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, and nutraceuticals, which are plant-based supplements, have shown potential in addressing problems where answers are still being sought through conventional modalities. By incorporating these traditional therapies alongside conventional treatments, treatment outcomes and overall well-being of cancer patients may be improved.

Dr. Mandeep Singh, Lead Oncologist at Art of Healing Cancer, has been closely following the latest research on traditional therapies that may help in the fight against cancer. Quercetin, a flavonoid found in onions, has been shown to inhibit MDR, which is responsible for drug resistance in cancer cells. Additionally, Berberine, an active compound found in Ayurvedic medicine Daru Haldi, has been found to inhibit mTOR, which is often overexpressed in breast cancer patients. Many other Ayurvedic medicines, such as Curcumin from Turmeric, Boswellia from Indian Frankincense, and EGCG from green tea, have also been found to have potent anti-cancer properties.

Although the potential role of Ayurveda and nutraceuticals in cancer treatment is known, the lack of standardized clinical trials, dosing information, and bioavailability data are significant concerns. However, Indian universities and the Ministry of Ayush have made efforts to address these concerns, and progress is being made in this area. Recognizing the importance of conducting their own research and investing time and effort to find the best possible solutions for patients, Art of Healing Cancer is committed to offering the most effective and personalized treatment options to those affected by cancer by combining the best of both conventional and traditional therapies.

"At Art of Healing Cancer, we take a personalized approach to cancer treatment by analyzing the DNA and mRNA data of our patients. While we primarily use conventional approaches such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy, there are instances where we cannot find drugs that target the abnormalities found in the patient's DNA and mRNA data. In these cases, we turn to traditional therapies such as Ayurveda and nutraceuticals to find the best possible solutions for our patients. By integrating conventional and traditional therapies, we are able to offer a comprehensive and personalized approach to cancer care. Conventional medicine works best to control the acute phase of the disease, and traditional medicine is very effective in potentiating conventional methods and decreasing their adverse effects. It is a good option to keep the disease in remission and prevent recurrence," explains Dr. Mandeep Singh.

As new insights into cancer treatment continue to be uncovered, it is becoming increasingly clear that the answer lies in integrating various paradigms of treatment. While conventional approaches like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy have come a long way in treating cancer, traditional therapies like Ayurveda, Tibetan medicine, and nutraceuticals have also shown promise in complementing these approaches. By combining the best of both worlds, a comprehensive and personalized approach to cancer care can be offered that takes into account the unique needs and circumstances of each patient. As the medical community moves forward, it is essential to continue investing in research and exploring new avenues for treatment to provide hope and healing to those affected by cancer. This integrative approach, which combines conventional and traditional therapies, has the potential to revolutionize cancer treatment and improve the lives of countless patients around the world.
