My experiences with Dr Parmar and the Integrated Health Clinic started August 2011 and continue to this day. I was diagnosed with R Breast Cancer June of that year and was prescribed by BC Cancer to have chemotherapy and radiation along with a partial mastectomy. Every ounce of My Being refused to move forward with the radiation but I was open to perhaps the chemotherapy. I did agree to the partial mastectomy although I did suggest a double mastectomy to my surgeon but he felt at that time it was unnecessary. (This was necessary April 2014). I felt that there should be ‘more’ offered as the prescribed treatment plan was offered and unsuccessful for my Mother, Aunt, Sister and Uncle. My grandmother was also diagnosed with breast cancer but chose a mastectomy without treatment due to her age. None the less, I felt that since my family members all chose to follow the conventional medicine path offered through BC Cancer without ‘quality of life that eventually led to early death that I needed to look for more options. With my education in Alternative/Traditional Health I knew how to research Alternative/Traditional including Naturopathic Health and came across Dr Parmar’s website. Once I called I had an appointment within a week and so my path began..

The treatment plan Dr Parmar suggested ‘felt right’ and was a path I was comfortable with embarking on. It included Loco-Oncothermia and later Full Body Oncothermia, DCA, IV Vitamin C, Injectable Mistletoe, plus a variety of vitamins/minerals. We worked my treatment/therapy program hand in hand with what I was doing with my conventional Oncologist with BC Cancer. Late last year I was diagnosed with a very rare genetic syndrome and Dr Parmar was very respectful with my knowledge of this condition and was ready and willing to listen and do all in his power to help.

Dr Parmar was always available to share his wealth of knowledge/education without Ego getting in the way (sadly other Dr’s do not hear their patients and this becomes an issue) I am most happy to continue my journey with cancer with Dr Parmar. Now Dr Parmar included, let’s talk about his amazing staff… Some of my treatments have been a challenge and not once was I left to manage my stress alone. The love, care and respect from these caring individuals have immensely helped me on this journey. At times, once away from the clinic emotions or questions would arise and I would call/email the clinic to always be spoken to with respect and if the answer could not be answered immediately a response would always follow in a timely manner. Integrated Health Clinic and Dr Parmar is synonymous with Advanced Cancer treatment, (including other care modalities), state of the art equipment with the Oncothermia ‘beds’, highly trained and respected Doctors, Practitioners and Staff. I’ve referred many individuals to this clinic as it’s a place I believe offers great care and the ability to ‘heal’, reverse/stall, and challenge one’s path with cancer and other malady’s. “The body’s sole purpose in life is to find Homeostasis/Balance” with the right tools and Team we have a choice in life as to how to we find it.

I hope and believe this type of treatment plan will become ‘main stream’ and offered as a choice along with the treatments of BC Cancer. At this time it is not fully covered and then becomes a life choice to find the finances to pursue, not everyone has this option and therefore loses the right to ‘a well-rounded care plan’ to complement what conventional health offers. My opinion is that we are losing too many lives as Integrated Health is not included in main stream options.

With Respect and Good Health;
