Abstract
Integrative oncology utilizes the most effective aspects from multiple healing disciplines including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, biological dentistry, TCM, Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Naturopathy, Chiropractic, Botanical medicine, fasting, healthy diet and lifestyle, psychospiritual practices, etc.
The practitioner must be knowledgeable, trained and experienced in each of the disciplines to know which specific therapies to use under which conditions. There is no one discipline that has all the answers and therefore it is imperative that the practitioner, whose goal is to help people resort to health know when and how to use the appropriate therapies and interventions.
Bio
Dr. Thomas Lodi, MD, MD(H)

Thomas Lodi, MD has been practicing medicine for 35+ years and, in 2005, transferred his practice from New York to Mesa, Arizona where he founded An Oasis of Healing. At that time, few if any other centers provided integrative cancer care: an intelligent, rational blend of effective therapies from all medical and healing disciplines.
He has pioneered what has now become the definitive route for those unsatisfied with the modern cancer treatment system.
Dr. Lodi’s goal is health and where there is health, not only is there no cancer…there is also no diabetes, no high blood pressure, heart problems, no neurological problems, etc.
Dr. Lodi’s healing approach has revolutionized the integrative oncology industry worldwide, but to reach more people, he and his colleagues developed an online program that empowers the everyday person to control aspects of their lives that will facilitate in the prevention of cancer, the elimination of cancer, and overall health restoration.
