Developed in partnership with Men’s Health Foundation Ghana, the National Peak body of prostate cancer and Ghana’s leading charity working with men living with prostate cancer. This noncredit certificate course delivered over 3 days period aims to provide an in-depth insight into the current knowledge and evidence-based findings on prostate cancer and its management in the holistic and conventional community.
Prostate cancer is a multi-faceted disease, and there are various effective types of cancer treatment. Conventional approaches such as chemotherapy and radiation should not be used continually because of their high toxicity. The side effects of these treatments, such as immune suppression and secondary malnutrition, may worsen the prognosis as cancer cells can then grow rapidly. This opens the door to an abundant field of alternative, holistic and integrative prostate cancer treatment options.
Pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have failed to produce more than a handful of useful therapies for prostate cancer, however, many people still assume that the only options for treating cancer are the mainstream therapies of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.
Fortunately, we now have research on how prostate cancer cells work and propagate, as well as what can be done in the integrative medicine setting to interfere with this disease process. At Nyarkotey College of Holistic Medicine, we will learn about your body, your medical, genetic, and environmental history, and guide you to the most effective cancer treatments for your prostate.
