A naturalistic approach such as applying natural medicine offers a different approach in treating and halting the progression of disease and sickness which uses a more traditional or natural level. Natural medicine or naturopathy is a form or “traditional” or alternative medicine. This is based on the practice of “vitalism” which postulates that an energy or vital force is responsible for directing bodily process like metabolism, growth and development, reproduction, adaptation. It employs a holistic approach, while conventional medicine uses the least invasive techniques to improve the patient’s condition, minimal use of surgery or aggressive approach is done. Naturopathic or natural medicine recognizes the body’s capacity to heal and recuperate itself.
In cases of neoplasm, or cancer, instead of focusing on the triggers or factors that led to the disease, treatment is done immediately to halt the disease and stop it from progressing, sometimes missing in the assessment portion in which baseline data are determined, such as cellular communication and oxidation. Aggressive treatment of malignant neoplasms, like chemotherapy for instance, lead to an immunocompromised state, because anti- neoplastic drugs do not only attack the cancer cells, but also rapidly growing healthy cells such as germ cells, hair cells and cells found in the gastrointestinal tract. A more natural basic approach is treatment that may include regulating food sources such as vitamins, macro and micro minerals, supplements and a change in lifestyle practices. Micro minerals or Trace minerals include Fulvic acid which is a naturally occurring antioxidant and antitoxin. It cleanses the body of free radicals, such as those that are harmful enough to cause cancer.
