Guided by your history, labs, and goals, we tailor a plan that may include oxygen-based therapies (e.g.,
HBOT, EBOO), botanical/IV support (vitamin C, peptides), mistletoe, photodynamic/sonodynamic methods, mind-body practices, and nutrition designed to reduce glucose dependence while supporting overall wellbeing.
We coordinate with your oncology team whenever you’re receiving chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery, and we prioritize safety, informed choice, and transparency. If you’re exploring integrative options, our team will walk you through candidacy, expectations, and next steps—so you can make decisions with clarity and confidence.
Our approach to cancer
Cancer is a multifactorial condition rarely caused by a single factor. Our holistic approach to cancer treatment is defined by a spectrum of meticulously designed therapies to address the multifaceted nature of this condition. Each therapy plays a vital role in our comprehensive strategy, working synergistically for your well-being.
At Mitogenesis, we believe in a comprehensive approach to cancer treatment that involves three fundamental aspects:
The goal is to treat the patient holistically, addressing not only the cancer but also the physical and emotional factors that affect well-being.
What therapies are used? Options may include HBOT, EBOO, mistletoe, botanical/IV support, photodynamic/sonodynamic methods, and mind-body practices.
Holistic cancer treatment, and how does it work?
What is holistic cancer therapy? A personalized, integrative approach that supports terrain, metabolism, and immunity while coordinating with standard oncology when applicable.
Unlike conventional medicine, we investigate what might have cause the disturbance in your body's environment, resulting in cancer. That is, what toxins you might have been exposed to which altered gene expression, changed metabolic functionality, and suppressed the immune system. Our goal is not simple to kill the cancer cells, but to restore your body to a healthier state.
Repair the biological terrain
Dr. Thomas Rau, founder of Swiss Biological Medicine, explains that cancer often arises from an imbalance in the body's environment —a disruption of its biological terrain, which leads to mitochondrial damage. Environmental toxins, heavy metals, and chemicals can alter the microbial population of the body. This imbalance, along with toxins and waste products from normal metabolic reactions, creates acidic conditions characterized by a lack of oxygen and inflammation, which favor harmful processes.
This environment promotes microbial imbalance, increased acidity, chronic viral infections, nutrient deficiencies, and exposure to chemicals/toxic metals, all of which contribute to the development of cancer. We focus on rebalancing the internal ecosystem of your body to make it inhospitable to cancer cells, evaluating factors such as pH levels, nutrient status, and overall cellular health.
Main natural and alternative therapies used in holistic cancer care
In addition to traditional medical treatments, holistic therapy includes the most common natural and alternative therapies in holistic cancer care, such as:
Oxygen and hydrogen therapies. These therapies, also known as hyperbaric oxygen therapy and ozone therapy, are designed to enhance cellular oxygenation and fortify the immune system.
Natural immunotherapy. It involves the use of natural substances to stimulate the body's immune response.
Intravenous therapies. Personalized cocktails of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are administered to support cellular health.
Herbal medicine. Medicinal plants with anticancer and immune-supporting properties are added to the diet.
Other therapies used in Mitogenesis for cancer therapy are:
Botanical IV Therapy
Photodynamic Therapy
Vitamin and Nutrient IV Therapy
Peptide IV Therapy
Extracorporeal Blood Ozone Oxygenation (EBOO)

Hydroxy Gas Therapy
Binders and Chelating agents
Lymphatic Therapy (Flowpresso)
Peptide Immunotherapy
Haelen Therapy
Bee Venom Therapy.
Mistletoe Therapy
Coffee Enemas
Pulse Electrical Magnetic Field Therapy (PEMF)
Nutrition and Dietary Recommendations
Red Light Therapy
Photodynamic therapy
Sonodynamic therapy
Local hyperthermia
Detoxification
And Much More!
Nutrition, mind-body medicine, and detoxification in cancer recovery
With Mitogenesis, you will receive comprehensive guidance to develop the best dietary plan that helps boost your immune system and positively incorporates cancer treatment. A proper diet during cancer treatment should be low in carbohydrates so as not to feed the cancer, high in healthy fats to support our own energy production (since we can produce ATP from fat and oxygen, unlike cancer cells), and rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Each diet is tailored to each individual based on their constitution.
Added to mind-body medicine, which includes techniques such as meditation and yoga, it can help reduce stress and improve emotional well-being. It is also important to carry out a detoxification process to get rid of toxins that affect overall health. Toxins primarily affect the liver and kidneys, which are key to regulating overall health, so restoring their function will support the patient's recovery.
What to expect during your holistic cancer treatment?
When starting a holistic cancer treatment, each patient will undergo a comprehensive health assessment, detailed analyses of the progression of their disease, and specific tests to determine their internal and external biological state. Based on these results, Dr. Mel from Mitogenesis will develop a personalized treatment plan. The therapies and adjustments in the routine will depend on the treatment goals, but they will always seek to empower the patient, providing them with tools and support to actively participate in their healing process and improve their quality of life.
It is essential to maintain open and continuous communication with the medical team, ensuring that all therapies are safe and aligned with the individual needs and goals of the patient.

Safety, contraindications & coordination with oncology
- We collaborate with your oncologist to avoid interactions, duplicate therapies, or timing conflicts.
- Some therapies (e.g., ozone, high-dose vitamin C, hyperthermia, photodynamic agents) may not be appropriate for all patients. We screen for medication use, G6PD status, device implants, and comorbidities.
- Side effects are generally mild and temporary (fatigue, localized discomfort), but vary by therapy. You’ll receive written consent and after-care instructions.
Who is a candidate?
- Suitable for adults seeking supportive care alongside or after standard treatments, or for those exploring integrative options.
- Not recommended for emergencies or in place of urgent oncologic care. Comprehensive evaluation required.
Pricing & payment options
- Consults, testing, and therapies are individualized. Our team provides a written estimate and discusses payment options before you begin.
