Cancer is a leading cause of death across the globe

Health and illness are a delicate balance in our daily lives: one day we’re feeling amazing, and the next, not so much. The diagnostic process in itself is already hard, as we attend appointment after appointment, seeking answers, understanding, help, wellbeing. The process of healing can be long and confusing, it can be painful and frustrating. We understand this at a very deep level. At White Clinic, we are determined to alleviate human suffering and support your healing journey back to optimal health and quality of life. Back to yourself.

Are you a cancer patient?

Cancer was the cause of one in six deaths in 2020, totalling 10 million deaths worldwide. The number is staggering, we know. It’s a reality that we see and help treat on a daily basis.

Approximately one-third of cancer deaths are due to smoking, high body mass index, alcohol consumption, low fruit and vegetable consumption, and sedentarism.

The most common cancers are breast, lung, colon and rectum, prostate, skin, and stomach.

Lung, colon and rectum, liver, stomach, and breast cancers are the deadliest.

Cancer-causing infections, such as human papillomavirus (HPV) and hepatitis, are responsible for approximately 30% of cancer cases in low- and lower-middle-income countries.

Many cancers can be cured if detected early on and treated effectively.

And the number of cancer cases that are treated successfully with no recurrence are on the rise.

If you’re a cancer patient or even a cancer survivor and are interested in an integrative approach to managing your specific type of cancer, our experienced Integrative Medicine team is prepared to meet you, listen to your story, study your case and create a personalised treatment plan that is aligned with your current health status.

Step 1

A complete mouth-body connection

Our Integrative Medicine appointment begins with a comprehensive biological dentistry check-up, which includes a state-of-the-art Cone Beam Computed Tomography scan (CBCT). This advanced technology provides our team with a precise 3D look into your mouth. Why do we need this? It’s the only way to verify if you have any chronic inflammation or infection or even prejudicial old dental treatments – this type of pathogens and toxicity deeply affect the rest of the body, compromising the immune system and hindering the body’s natural capacity to heal.

Step 2

Non-invasive advanced testing

The in-depth study of your current health status continues with cutting-edge blood and urine tests. We work with the most advanced labs in the world for specific diagnostics regarding cancer and autoimmune diseases – a crucial step in preparing personalised treatment plans that target the root cause, in order to support recovery, health and longevity.

RGCC Cancer Test

Detects circulating tumour cells in the blood or lymph.

Trace Minerals Test

Measures levels of trace minerals, which are essential to overall health.

RANTES Test

Shows the existence of inflammation and/or infection in the body.

Melisa Test

Detects hypersensitivity to metals, chemicals, environmental toxins and moulds.

DNA Test

Identifies mutations in genes, chromosomes or proteins.

Dutch Test

Measures hormone levels, adrenal dysregulation, nutrient levels and detox processes.

Metabolomix+ Test

A comprehensive nutritional assessment of organic, amino and fatty acids; as well as toxic heavy metal levels.

Other blood tests

Each case is unique, which means additional blood work may be necessary.

ART – Autonomic Response Testing

A diagnostic tool used in holistic medicine to assess the body’s autonomic nervous system responses, ART was developed by Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt and combines principles of applied kinesiology and biophysics to identify underlying health issues and guide treatment. Practitioners use muscle testing to detect stressors such as toxins, infections, or emotional imbalances that may affect the body’s function. ART helps tailor personalised treatment plans, often incorporating detoxification, nutritional support, and other holistic therapies to promote overall health and wellness.

Step 3

Custom-designed treatment protocols

With the results of your dental health check-up, CBCT scan and additional tests, we prepare a custom protocol that is tailored to your illness and the phase you are in. Our jawbone detox treatments are designed to eliminate chronic inflammation or infection, and are wholly supported by our advanced healing therapies and regenerative technologies – ozone therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, intravenous light therapy, photobiomodulation, chromotherapy, Bio-Electro-Magnetic-Energy-Regulation therapy, supplementation, immune boosting therapies, among others.

These integrative therapies are completely aligned with your current medical treatment plan, because, as an extremely complex issue, we believe health must be looked at from all angles. We also believe we can truly help you on your path to recovery.

What does oral healthcare have to do with cancer and autoimmune disorders?

More than you can imagine.

Your health is your greatest wealth

Oral health & general health as one

We know that most doctors and physicians have little or no understanding of the vital connection between oral health and general health, and how one can deeply impact the other. As biological dentists we have been studying, practicing and seeing firsthand outstanding results for over 24 years, precisely because we are paying extremely close attention to this fundamental link. As an integrative medical team, we are certain that we can work alongside traditional doctors and treatment plans to help you heal and thrive. There’s nothing more important than that, because there is nothing more important than your health.
