Clinical Approach: Holistic + Evidence-Based

Holistic doesn’t mean unstructured. Our approach is clinician-led, evidence-aware, and safety-first—designed to support you alongside oncology care with clarity, boundaries, and a plan you can follow.

Whole-person outcomes Evidence-aware decisions Risk-managed integration

About / Clinical approach

Our clinical principle

Integrative cancer support works best when it reduces confusion, improves safety, and supports joined-up decisions. We combine whole-person care with evidence-aware judgement—always aligned with your oncology pathway.

What “evidence-based” means here

  • We prioritise safety data and pharmacology (especially interactions)
  • We use evidence signals (clinical studies, outcomes, plausibility) where available
  • We’re transparent when evidence is mixed or emerging
  • We choose what’s relevant to your treatment phase and risk profile

For the safety framework, see safety, governance & consent.

Evidence-aware care means clarity about benefits, risks, and uncertainty.

The 3 pillars of our approach

This is how we keep integrative care clinically coherent and patient-centred—without adding unnecessary complexity.

1) Whole-person outcomes

We focus on what typically determines daily function during cancer care—fatigue, sleep, appetite, nausea, pain, digestion, mood, anxiety, resilience, and recovery.

2) Evidence-aware decisions

Evidence depth varies across supportive interventions. We combine clinical research signals, safety data, and judgement—transparent about uncertainty and individual suitability.

3) Risk-managed integration

Safety checks are built in: medication/supplement interactions, contraindications, timing around treatment cycles, and monitoring plans with escalation guidance.

Clinical governance →

How we decide what’s appropriate (and what isn’t)

Integrative care is not about doing “everything”. It’s about prioritising the next best step for your situation—safely.

Step 1: Clinical context

Diagnosis, oncology plan, immune status, organ function, symptoms, capacity, and goals.

Step 2: Risk screen

Interactions, contraindications, bleeding risk, timing around procedures and cycles, red flags.

Step 3: Evidence signal

What evidence exists, for which outcomes, and how relevant it is to your context.

Step 4: Plan + monitoring

Clear boundaries, what to track, when to pause, and how follow-ups adjust the plan.

Anthroposophic medicine in integrative cancer support

In European integrative settings, anthroposophic medicine is one tradition used within supportive cancer care. It can include whole-person frameworks and therapies such as mistletoe-based approaches.

In our clinic, any therapy associated with anthroposophic supportive care is only considered through a medical, safety-first lens—including interaction screening, contraindication checks, timing guidance, and monitoring. The aim is supportive care and quality of life outcomes, always aligned with oncology.

Practical boundaries we apply

  • We do not use “one-size-fits-all” protocols
  • We consider timing around cycles, procedures and immune effects
  • We define what to monitor and when to pause
  • We prioritise patient-centred outcomes and transparency about uncertainty

Explore: mistletoe therapy and the safety framework.

Common reasons patients seek integrative support

  • Fatigue and low resilience
  • Sleep disruption
  • Nausea, appetite, digestive symptoms
  • Pain and discomfort
  • Anxiety, stress, emotional coping
  • Recovery and function

Start here: symptom & side-effect support.

Safety is part of the method

“Complementary” does not automatically mean “safe”—especially in active treatment. This is why our approach emphasises governance: interaction checks, contraindications, timing, and escalation.

Governance details: clinical governance.
