Pacific Naturopathic

Original review posted summer of 2016: Dr. Connie Hernandez and Dr. Marcel Hernandez are an amazing husband-and-wife team of Naturopathic Doctors (N.D.s). Together, they provide a comprehensive approach to adjunctive cancer care. I came to them last December after my stage 3 colon cancer had metastasized to the liver, in spite of having completed traditional colectomy surgery and 6 months of chemo. They helped me get started on a routine of supplements and I.V. vitamin C treatments, along with general nutritional and lifestyle advice. I had the new liver tumor surgically removed, and 6 months later there is still no evidence of any new tumor activity according to my oncologist. I am definitely beating the odds! I also feel a lot better than I felt with the traditional "standard of care" with no adjunctive support. Dr. Connie (as she prefers to be called) helps plan my overall treatment, and answers a lot of questions that the oncologist can't or won't. She is also very accommodating of my own preferences, such as my decision to base some of my diet and supplement choices on the "Cancer Free" book by Bill Henderson. Dr. Marcel supervises my I.V. infusions, including some special nutrient blends he administered immediately before and after my liver tumor surgery. My oncologist was astounded to find me in her office for a check-up only 8 days after the surgery, looking "like a million bucks" in her words! Update posted on 3/16/18: Still here! Cancer has been "stable" for a little over a year now. This means there are a few small tumors in various places just sitting there and doing nothing. I can't even feel them! It has been almost 4 years now since my original colon cancer surgery. I have continued to refine my diet, and now follow a ketogenic diet protocol based on the recent book "Keto for Cancer" by Miriam Kalamian. I am still doing I.V. vitamin C infusions twice a week. The doctors at Pacific Naturopathic say that their cancer patients who are doing the best are the ones who are combining I.V. vitamin C with a ketogenic diet. I am very grateful!
