Integrative oncological treatments for patients with metastatic prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in men of the Western world. Although many effective treatments exist today, almost 50% of men end up with metastatic and so‐called “castration‐resistant disease” which constitutes a major challenge for the individual patient as well as the doctor. The medical team of Aeskulap-International has developed integrative treatment protocols combining conventional therapies with evidence-based natural methods for better disease control, improved quality of life and survival.

The Therapeutic Client Relationship

It is well established that all treatments may be powerfully enhanced by the effects of a positive practitioner-client relationship; sometimes to an extraordinarily high degree. This effect has been marginalised and discounted as non-specific, subjective or placebo-response by analysis, but is in reality an essential part of what our patients consciously or otherwise hope for. How then, might we reflect on and nurture this precious aspect of our healing art? This seminar will provide some salient facts and cogent questions.
