Terminal Cancer Isn't The End

Dr. Lori Bouchard, N.D,. author of Live Longer and Stronger with Breast Cancer and Cancer Doesn’t Own You and owner of Oakville’s most innovative naturopathic healing centre, Inside Health Clinic, along with Dr. Marco Bouchard, chiropractor and neurofunctional acupuncture expert, are passionate about providing hope and supporting you in living longer and stronger with cancer.

What Is a Cancer Retreat?

At Inside Health we take the time to listen, evaluate, and nourish not only the patient’s physical needs but also their mental needs.

The LIVE LONGER AND STRONGER Cancer Retreat Oakville, founded by Dr Lori Bouchard, and run by Inside Health’s health professionals, and support staff helps cancer patients deepen their understanding of their diagnosis through integrative cancer care to eliminate the root cause of dysfunction in the body.

Inside Health recognizes the need for more comprehensive information and resources regarding cancer and other chronic/complex diseases. While the current healthcare model focuses mainly on the disease and “quick fixes” to suppress symptoms; integrative cancer care helps the individual by providing a wide range of assessments, facts, and resources to help them fight back. Instead of chasing the growth of abnormal cells, take an integrative approach to boost your system, as each week of this journey focuses on boosting your immune, lymphatic, digestive, and nervous systems.

Hope Is Found

It is reported that 50% of men and 33% of women will experience some form of cancer in their life – which is quite a staggering statistic.

But terminal cancer isn’t the end.

The Inside Health Difference

What to Expect

When your body is healing, you must be able to relax and allow your body to focus on regeneration instead of stress. This is why we prioritize providing dedicated assistance so that you can finally activate your body’s innate self-healing potential to re-balance and reverse your symptoms. During the one-to-three-week integrative cancer care retreat, you can expect the following:

Intake and Education

The LIVE LONGER AND STRONGER Cancer Retreat starts with patients being educated about their health and how to transform their disease. By teaching them about the many aspects of true health and healing, they’re able to understand, step-by-step, what is needed to reverse any complicated and chronic disease – including cancer

Initial Assessment

Once the intake and assessment are complete and Inside Health has identified what additional tests and services are needed, we’re able to perform said tests. Our personalized approach allows us to recognize that every person has a unique set of causes that trigger them to feel unwell.

On day one, a thorough health assessment is performed and all recent labs are collected. Additional labs/imaging are requested to complete the full picture of where the patient is at

Results are then reviewed and integrated into a comprehensive plan for the patient to follow through the entirety of the cancer retreat.

The types of testing you can expect on day one include:

Stool testing

Hormone testing

Lung Oxidative stress tests

Genetics testing

Organic acids test

Heavy metals test

Healing Made Easy

True healing can only happen when the body can have little or no stress, and time to detox. When an individual has been ill for weeks, months, or years, they often lack the energy to feel well. This is the exact process that Inside Health focuses on most, ensuring that any patient who partakes in the cancer retreat has an easy-to-follow schedule put into place for them, where the staff does all the work.

A Typical Day In-Clinic

The LIVE LONGER AND STRONGER Cancer Retreats are a one-to-three-week program that includes everything you will need for ultimate detox and healing, including the initial medical assessments and end-of-week follow-up with your naturopathic doctor to review the plan going forward.

A typical day in-clinic will differ depending on the patient’s specific needs, however, you can expect something like this:

Results-Oriented Treatment Approach

Inside Health believes that true healing is a journey.

When it comes to chronic diseases, especially cancer, we know that the onset of the illness does not happen overnight. Most cancers can take five to 10 years before a tumor is even being felt. Surgery and chemo may help the tumor shrink or disappear, but it doesn’t change the environment in which the cancer grew in the first place, or prevent abnormal cells from returning.

A large part of the program involves treatments to move your lymphatic system (the system that transports lymph, a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells). The goal is to build strength in the person with cancer, enabling them to become more resilient to anything that comes their way. By strengthening your immune system, you can eliminate waste easier, leaving you feeling mechanically stronger.

Inside Health’s integrative cancer care treatment approach primarily focuses on the following:
