Cancer is just a symptom of a disorder in the whole system, not in the breast or the colon or the prostate,” says Dr Leigh Erin Connealy, founder and Medical Director of the Cancer Center for Healing and Center for New Medicine in Irvine, California—one of the largest cancer healing centers in the world. “It’s a disorder of the whole system because the body is a whole system. You can’t just treat cancer. You have to fix what’s creating the perfect storm of cancer in the body.”
Connealy’s approach to treating cancer, applied to more than 65,000 cancer patients she’s treated in the last 35 years, typifies the practices of the best integrative cancer specialists around the world. They take a whole-systems approach to cancer by investigating the full state of each patient’s health and focus on healing the entire person, not simply the tumor.
