How Can a Strong Immune System Protect Against Cancer?

Cancer is a devastating disease that causes great pain and emotional distress. While there is no one “cure” for cancer, there are ways to boost and protect your immune system. Intravenous (IV) therapy at the Kotsanis Institute of Functional Medicine delivers essential vitamins and minerals directly into your bloodstream, meaning your immune system reaps the benefits almost right away.

The right treatment can fight infection and disease, reduce inflammation, and target any cells that could become cancerous. Below, our team in Grapevine, TX discusses the importance of a healthy, supportive immune system and how IV cancer treatment works at our facility.

What does the immune system do?

The immune system is our first defense against viruses and bacteria that cause disease. It is also responsible for defending against cancer cells, which form when healthy body cells are damaged and start to multiply uncontrollably.

When your immune system is strong, it can recognize these potentially cancerous cells and target them for destruction – before they cause any harm. That’s why we recommend that anyone at risk for developing cancer should strive to keep their immune system in peak condition.

How can IV therapy help?

At Kotsanis Institute, our cancer care team uses a combination of vitamin and mineral supplements to boost the immune system. These supplements are delivered directly into the bloodstream through an IV, allowing them to reach your cells quickly and efficiently. Intravenous therapy has been shown to reduce symptoms caused by cancer and even cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation.

It is important to note that IV cancer treatment should not be considered a "cure" but a way to support your own natural healing abilities. By replenishing the essential vitamins and minerals that your immune system needs to function, we promote overall health and well-being – so you can feel like your best self.

Is IV therapy right for my situation?

Anyone interested in IV therapy should schedule a consultation with our cancer care team to discuss their needs in Grapevine, TX. During the visit, we assess your current health and learn about any symptoms you face. Our specialists design personalized plans that may include regular intravenous fluids, supplements, and lifestyle modifications.

If you are currently undergoing cancer treatment, IV therapy may help reduce side effects such as fatigue and nausea. We can work alongside your current oncologist to ensure that our recommendations complement your existing plan. We also have several innovative strategies to help you manage pain and discomfort during your recovery period.
