How can holistic therapies help me if I have Kidney Cancer?
Once you have been properly evaluated and treated by an urologist
with the least invasive and most effective treatment, a holistic
practitioner can help you get on a cancer prevention plan for recurrence
of kidney cancer or other cancers, speed the recovery from surgery,
reduce pain from surgery and become optimally functional.
What kinds of treatments will Dr. Espinosa

Your treatment may be a combination of clinical nutritional advice,
natural medications (supplements), stress management, lifestyle
management, acupuncture and/or specific physical and mental exercises
– depending on where you are most imbalanced.
Who is Dr. Espinosa and what kind of practitioner
is he?
Dr. Geovanni Espinosa is the Director of Clinical Trials, Clinician
and Co-Investigator at the Center for Holistic Urology, Department
of Urology at Columbia University Medical center. He earned his
Naturopathic Medical degree and Masters in Acupuncture from the
University of Bridgeport in Connecticut. Upon graduation, Dr. Espinosa
did his residency in Urology at Washington Heights Urology and continued
it at Columbia University Presbyterian Medical Center, Department
of Urology. His research and practice currently focus in Urology,
men's health, Kidney and prostate health and weight loss. Early
in his academic career, Dr. Espinosa noticed the lack of quality
control in many dietary supplements - some thing that can be toxic
and interfere with the healing process of patients taking them.
For this reason, he focused his thesis work on the Quality Control
on the Manufacturing of Dietary Supplements and is one of the
authorities in this area.
What is Naturopathic medicine?
Naturopathic medicine is a holistic and comprehensive approach to
improving health and treating illness. Focusing on prevention, and
using natural substances and treatments, naturopathic doctors (ND's)
support and stimulate the body's ability to heal itself. Natural
medicine views each individual as an integral whole. This innovative
field of medicine represents an evolution in health care because
it encourages the patient to participate in the healing process.
