Immune Support Therapy

Strengthening your body's natural defense against cancer

The Critical Role of Immune Function in Cancer

Your immune system is your body's first line of defense against cancer cells. Every day, your immune cells identify and destroy abnormal cells before they can develop into tumors. Supporting optimal immune function is essential in the fight against cancer.

At Arizona Integrative Medical Center, we use evidence-based natural therapies to enhance immune function, helping your body recognize and fight cancer more effectively. Our immune support protocols work alongside conventional treatments to give you the best possible outcomes.

Our Immune Enhancement Approaches

Natural Killer (NK) Cell Support

NK cells are specialized immune cells that target and destroy cancer cells. We use specific nutrients and therapies known to enhance NK cell activity:

  • Medicinal mushroom extracts (AHCC, turkey tail, reishi)
  • Vitamin D optimization
  • Zinc and selenium supplementation
  • IP-6 (inositol hexaphosphate)

IV Immune Therapies

Intravenous delivery ensures optimal absorption of immune-boosting nutrients:

  • High-dose Vitamin C: Enhances immune cell function and has direct anti-cancer properties
  • Glutathione: Master antioxidant that supports immune cell health
  • Zinc infusions: Essential for immune cell development
  • B-vitamin complexes: Support energy production in immune cells

Immunomodulating Botanicals

Carefully selected herbs that have been shown to support immune function:

  • Astragalus root - Traditional immune tonic
  • Echinacea - Immune stimulant
  • Cat's claw - South American immune support
  • Elderberry - Antiviral and immune support
  • Curcumin - Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating

Supporting Immune Function During Treatment

Conventional cancer treatments can significantly impact immune function. We provide targeted support to:

During Chemotherapy
  • Support white blood cell recovery
  • Reduce infection risk
  • Maintain nutritional status
  • Support gut immune function
During Radiation
  • Protect healthy immune cells
  • Support tissue healing
  • Reduce oxidative stress
  • Maintain energy levels

Lifestyle Factors for Immune Health

We provide guidance on lifestyle modifications that significantly impact immune function:

Sleep Optimization

Quality sleep is essential for immune cell regeneration

Stress Management

Chronic stress suppresses immune function

Anti-Inflammatory Diet

Nutrition directly impacts immune cell function

Appropriate Exercise

Movement supports immune cell circulation
