The Experience: The Metabolic Approach To Our Terrain
The Body’s terrain refers to the complex network of body’s systems. When our terrain is clean, cancer is not allowed to grow or spread and the person thrives. When the terrain is polluted, the body is weakened and cancer is allowed to grow and spread. You have the ultimate control in what state your terrain is in, and OWM is here to help!
Our comprehensive program looks at all aspects of the terrain and guides one in its optimization.
Cancer Prevention Elements
Intravenous Nutrient and Antioxidant Infusion Support
Most of us are already nutritionally depleted and are in a weakened state due to lack of nutrient dense foods, exposure to stressful multimedia and a polluted environment. Essential amino acids, vitamins, and nutrients are combined to help replete and bolster the body. Ingredients include vitamin C, vitamin B, magnesium, zinc, glycine, taurine, proline, glutathione, and vitamin B12. IV Antioxidants such as Alpha Lipoic Acid and Glutathione are administered to reduce inflammation and improve normal cells’ ability to fight off chemotherapeutic oxidative stress.
Gut Health : The majority of inflammation that pollutes our terrain comes in through a leaky gut. At OWM we look at the root cause of gut disfunction and offer natural and effective healing strategies
Hormonal Health
Understanding hormone metabolism is key to cancer prevention. We perform genetic testing and urine hormone metabolite testing to understand your cancer risks. Hormone optimization can be implemented safely if so desired, once an accurate risk assessment is performed.
Genetic Cancer Risk Analysis
Our genetics dictate our ability to eliminate toxins, process hormones safely, absorb and process macronutrients, and more. These genetic expressions are influenced by our environment. We provide a detailed analysis of your genetic signatures paired with comprehensive recommendations on how to steer their expression.
Mitochondrial Health
Mitochondria are the power plants of the body. They also control most of the cell’s functions such as detoxification, repair and nutrient processing. Mitochondrial health is a key part of the health of the terrain. We provide innovative mitochondrial restoration and optimization solutions
Nutritional Optimization
Cancer cells require an enormous supply of energy to allow them to grow and spread. This energy is derived from glucose. The ketogenic diet has been shown by Valter Longo to inhibit cancer growth and weaken cancer cells. Nutrition is at the center of the metabolic terrain approach, as it can be either toxic or medicinal. OWM utilizes genetic and metabolic testing to understand your optimal nutritional requirements and recommends personalized nutritional optimization
Mind-Body
Intravenous Ketamine
Variety of mood disorders including depression, anxiety, and PTSD are part of a imbalanced terrain that can increase one’s cancer risk. IV Ketamine has been shown to reduce these symptoms and improve coping skills. All IV Ketamine treatments are combined with ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
Ozone Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen
There is clinical evidence that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can both enhance stimulate genetic repair, improve detoxification and reduce inflammation-all functions essential for cancer prevention.
Chronic Inflammatory Conditions
From autoimmune conditions such as RA or Chron’s Disease, to chronic inflammatory conditions such as Lyme and mold related illness, chronic inflammatory conditions undermine one’s terrain and increase the risk if cancer. OWM offers effected cutting treatment strategies to manage such conditions.
