Our Individualized Cancer Treatment Program
Because we care for a smaller group of patients, we are able to apply therapies that are unique to the cancer and needs of each patient. Our suite of tests helps us identify the root causes of your cancer, which enables us to better prescribe the needed therapies.
Fix the leak: identify the root cause
We treat cancer without chemo, using alternative cancer therapies backed by evidence-based scientific research, for patients from all over the world.
Our approach aims to find the root cause of the cancer through in-depth testing and assessments. Then we can treat where the cancer began, allowing subsequent therapies to be more effective. These therapies are metabolic in nature, which means they target the metabolic processes of the cancer cell to disrupt its pathways for growth. In doing so, you are “fixing the leak”: understanding why the immune system failed, addressing the underlying weaknesses, and employing treatment strategies that strengthen the immune system and significantly decrease your chances of recurrences and metastases.
Three consultations, one relationship
Initial Consultation
Your initial consultation with our medical team provides an opportunity to ask questions and determine whether you feel comfortable with our approach. We answer frequently asked questions about the clinic, program, location, and related topics. We understand that finding answers can be challenging and that you may be considering several options. Our goal is to help you make an informed choice, wherever you decide to receive care.
Doctor Consultation
A consultation with Dr. Andrew Dickens is the next step before deciding whether to begin treatment. Dr. Dickens will learn about your needs and cancer treatment history, including previous tests. He follows a specific Dayspring Cancer Clinic protocol, informed by his extensive research experience, to identify possible root causes. He will also explain the 4-week program and answer questions from you and your family before you decide on treatment.
Ongoing Consultations
Once you’ve decided to come to Dayspring Cancer Clinic, you and your family will have access to Dr. Andrew and the medical staff as part of our personalized approach to care. Throughout your program, the medical staff, including the doctor, is in constant contact with you at the clinic and provides on-call support when you’re away. You get more attention than at other clinics, and the opportunity to connect on a more personal level, because a key to healing is both physical and emotional.
How we personalize your care
Testing
This is a critical first step in identifying what’s at the core of your cancer. Dayspring Cancer Clinic analyzes your past tests to determine what additional tests we’ll conduct to ensure a comprehensive assessment is done. We also routinely test throughout your program to track progress.
Doctor Consultations
Dr. Andrew and the medical staff work continually to fine-tune the therapies based on the tests that are done each week. This ensures that you and your family understand how the therapies are progressing and allows you to learn as much as you can about them. We also take your feedback to ensure a 360-degree feedback loop to optimize our treatment.
Optimized Care
We tailor our program to each patient at the beginning of their therapies based on our reviews of prior tests as well as the ones we do. Because we monitor and perform ongoing assessments, we are able to continually adjust the level of care so it is customized to how your body is responding to the treatment.
The 4-week program
Our 4-week program is designed to quickly identify and treat your specific cancer. As a result, the treatment plan is customized for optimal results for each patient and is much less time-consuming than other programs. Things are easier for you and your family, and you can return home more quickly with a tailored post-program care plan.
