The Hope Clinic offers complementary therapies for a wide range of illnesses and conditions. It provides peer reviewed and published methods for cancer treatment.

"Your good health is assured through integrated complementary and conventional medicine to treat the body as a whole."

Holistic Approach:

Prof. Campbell together with the staff at The Hope Clinic, are totally committed to a multidisciplinary, holistic approach to cancer treatment.

Versatile Safe Alternate Therapies:

The Hope Clinic offers a wide spectrum of complementary treatment and therapies.

There are many conditions that are not successfully addressed by conventional medicine. At the Hope Clinic for Integrated Medicine, we offer what we believe is a more balanced and effective approach to the treatment (or support) of such conditions which range, for instance, from a number of life threatening illnesses and chronic fatigue syndrome to nutritional disorders and allergies.

We combine a range of approaches, which are broadly described as Integrated Medicine and focus on chronic illness.The techniques we use include state-of-the-art medical technology and subtle energy therapies such as homeopathy and acupuncture.

'It's always encouraging and a positive experience to visit the Hope Clinic -- something I look forward to, rather than the dread of hospital visits and depressing, negative attitudes.'

It is the goal of Hope Clinic to provide the highest quality of care to patients. Since cancer is really a spectrum of diseases ranging from very aggressive to indolent; no single treatment can adequately be applied to all patients.

Our philosophy is to tailor a cancer management course for each individual patient that provides optimal control while minimizing the chances for debilitating complications. In some patients with low risk disease/ cancer this mean s a careful monitoring with a course of combined modalities.

These techniques are proving to be the best treatment option for patients that have previously failed conventional therapies.

The key for an individualized approach to cancer treatment is an accurate assessment of a patient's disease. At the Hope Clinic , we provide an unique diagnostic processes that can better assess the patient's cancer.

The Hope Clinic is happy to review your current information and give you a preliminary outline of possible courses of further diagnosis and treatment.

WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT
The network of colleagues who make up this institute are committed to reading and researching all published information.  We contact scientists and physicians all over the world to learn at first hand from these eminent colleagues in hospitals, universities and laboratories.

Our foundation finds treatments from integrative, complementary and conventional medicine. We investigate and combine support therapies to enhance efficacy and decrease side effects for faster, safer and more comfortable treatment in many different diseases.

SUCESSFULLY TREATED DISEASES
Autoimmune diseases including Rheumatoid Arthritis, Graves' Disease, Hashimoto' Syndromes, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's disease, Borreliosis/Lyme Disease.

Cancers including Gastrointestinal, Thyroid, Pancreas, Breast cancer with brain metastases, Cervical cancers, Lymphoma, Leukemia and many others.

Viral Diseases including Mononucleosis (EBV) cured in 24-48 hours. Coxsackie B virus, Herpes, HIV, and upper respiratory viruses.

RESEARCH
The newest research in cancer indicates involvement of bacteria and parasites including Chlamydia, borrellia and mycoplasm.  In tumor cells the acidic conditions cause pathogenic changes in normally non-pathogenic bacteria allowing them to release tumor growth factors as well as effecting the immune system.

Some of these bacteria and parasites appear to be pleomorphic, living inside cells including leukocytes, lymphocytes and red blood cells(erythrocytes). We are presently investigating identification of these pathogens and methods for their eradication. This work is being carried out in England and the USA and may lead to many exciting and effective new treatments for cancer.

WHAT ARE WE OFFERING IN NUTRITION?
We have a booklet showing the best nutrients and diets for a wide range of diseases.

The Hope web site is for those who seek information about complementary alternative medical therapies (CAM) and access to economic integrated cancer treatment, which combines Western Medicine with Complementary and Alternative therapies.

In the majority of cases these treatments lead to an extension of life and an improvement in the quality of life.

For those who have chosen physical well being as a meaningful way of life, Hope offers a balanced combination of the best orthodox and complimentary approaches to healing cancer in the body.

The body has the innate power to heal itself from cancer but we must first treat any toxic burden, and then nourish body mind and spirit with live organic food, supplementation, exercise, and emotional healing.

We also need to provide natural cancer destructive therapies to reduce the number of cancer cells that the body has to treat. We offer many complementary cancer therapies which are compatible with western medical therapies leading to an integrated approach to cancer

The Hope Organisation was created in 1998 with the goal of offering patients a comprehensive multidisciplinary integrated approach to the treatment of cancer, and other chronic diseases, emphasizing early detection, accurate staging, and a full range of minimally invasive western and complementary options, without significant side effects, using the latest advances in medical technology against cancer.

Integrated oncology has the potential to transform both individuals and the system of cancer care. In the process, a more sustainable approach to cancer health care can emerge, grounded in the guiding principles of medicine and focusing on all participants at all levels of their experience. Integrative oncology also has the potential to improve outcomes with regard to prevention, supportive care, and anti cancer therapy.

We are at a critical juncture in the evolution of cancer complementary therapy. In order for the development of an integrated approach to cancer to be successful. the efforts of researchers, clinicians, patient advocate groups, corporate health care workers, and policymakers must be combined. Such a process will allow for rational planning, development, and implementation in the setting of diminishing resources for cancer therapy.

Objectives for our treatments:

Cancer comes in many forms, categories and stages. It affects different parts or the whole of the body, which subsequently copes in various ways. This creates difficulty in diagnosis, patient treatment planning and expectations. Conventional treatments have come a long way and it is to be hoped these days that there is enough history about the application of these treatments to particular cancers, to predict outcomes.

Treatment may be given for the purpose of cure, life extension and or palliation (to alleviate the symptoms). Managing patient expectations is therefore one of the most important factors in diagnosis and treatment. While the Hope Research does not provide diagnostics, it has a strong commitment to ensuring patients are well informed and understand the unpredictable nature of the treatments. At the same time, the Clinic is extremely conscious of not undermining the fundamentals of a patient’s belief structure.

Getting diagnosed with cancer is very confronting and for most, a life-changing experience. It is vital that patients understand their disease progression and come to terms with what it is they expect of a treatment. Equally, it is most important that at the time of diagnosis, the patient’s fundamental belief structures and their foundations of hope are not undermined.

No one with cancer should ever be left without hope. All too often, those with cancer arrive at a point where their future is uncertain and they find they have invested their belief structure and control over their lives in their medical advisor. This may be fine if cure is at hand, but clearly, this is not always the case.

It is important for those with cancer to have reviewed all options, compared notes with others, remained informed and to have actually been a part of their treatment decisions, so that they have a sense of control over the treatment undertaken and the expectations from it: cure, remission, palliation, or other.

What is cure? Basically, it is to restore health. One definition is that a person is cured if the majority of the cancer cells are killed or revert to normal cells, and the patient’s immune system is at the point where their body can naturally defend against future bouts of cancer. Generally with cancer the 5-year test is applied. If there is no sign of the disease at the end of that time after treatment, then you could argue the patient is cured.

In theory, if cancer is detected at an early stage it can be cured entirely if the tumour is removed from the body. This may entail removal of the tumour, or the entire organ in which it is located. However for some cancers, such as blood or brain cancer, this is clearly not feasible.

Even when the entire tumour is removed, some cancer may remain in the body. A single cancer cell has the capacity to re-grow into a new tumour, leading to a recurrence of the cancer. For this reason, pathology of the surgical specimen is required to determine if a margin of healthy tissue is present, thus decreasing the chance that microscopic cancer cells are left in the patient.

In addition to the removal of the primary tumour, surgery is often necessary for staging, to determine the extent of the disease and whether it has metastasized to regional lymph nodes. Staging is a major determinant of prognosis and the need for adjuvant therapy.

When the cancer has metastasized to other parts of the body, complete surgical excision of all the tumour sites is often impossible. Further surgery may be given palliatively to control symptoms, compression of organs and obstructions.

The following briefly summarises the conventional approach to cancer treatment starting with the Primary treatment:

• The Primary treatment refers to the treatment used first, or alone to treat a disease. For most types of cancer this is surgery, but chemotherapy or radiotherapy are sometimes used for particular cancers. Chemotherapy or radiotherapy may also be used pre-operatively in which case they are referred to as neo-adjuvant therapy.
• Adjuvant therapy is given after the primary therapy in order to kill residual cancer cells that possibly remain in the body. This can take the form of radiotherapy, chemotherapy or hormone therapy. Chemotherapy is termed a systemic therapy because it affects the entire body. In some cases chemotherapy is divided into three stages called induction, consolidation and maintenance therapy.

The purpose of the induction stage is to kill enough cancer cells to put the patient into remission, the consolidation stage is designed to kill cancer cells that have survived the first stage, while the maintenance stage aims to destroy remaining cancer cells and maintain the remission.

What is remission? It is abatement in the intensity or degree of a disease, as evidenced by the disappearing of some or all of the signs and symptoms of the disease, termed a partial, or complete, remission respectively. The disease is under control but cancer cells may still be in the body. The remission can be further classified as temporary or permanent. This then begs the question: What is difference between permanent remission and cure? The 5-year test could possibly apply here. Matters get more complicated when one talks about life extension not to be confused with remission.

Life extension may mean disease control, such as a slowing of its progression and this may be the best aim for some patients, especially those who have had a number of previous treatments.

Palliation can play an important role here. To palliate means to reduce the symptoms of a disease, to ease the severity of a disease or associated pain, without removing the cause.

Dr Holt argues radiowave therapy has its place with most cancers and can cure; can reduce tumours; can stabilise disease progression; can achieve remission; can bring life extension and can be a useful palliation instrument. This may be the case, as there are patients with different forms of cancer who will testify to its efficacy. The Clinic however, can make only the claim that it can provide the treatment that Dr Holt was providing at the time of his retirement, together with seven other complementary and alternative medical procedures.

It has also been argued that radiowave therapy and photo dynamic therapy should be considered in certain cases as a first line of treatment because it has no long-term side effects, can be repeated, is non invasive and may work best when there has been no previous patient history of chemotherapy. An example of where this could be a good approach would be where a patient undertook the treatment and their tumour reduced to the point where they could have a more effective outcome from surgery. This would be a great outcome. However, it would have to be the patient’s decision entirely to undertake Hope therapies in preference to other more conventional treatments. The Clinic can only strongly recommend patients talk with those they trust most and share their thoughts with their medical advisors.

All too often, it seems that the Clinic is treating patients as a last resort measure. It may well be that some people are not getting what they seek from conventional treatments or that the opportunity for their best results have passed. It is quite understandable that in these instances, people become open to other options like Hope therapies which may well be able to help in a way that other treatments have not. Yet the same cautions must apply – the patient must choose the therapy through their own decision-making and have met the conditions of the Clinic to be eligible.

Whatever it is that you are intending to gain from whichever treatment you undertake, it is important to be realistic, have been a part of the decision-making and have sensible expectations.

A last word on this topic; it is better to meet a fair expectation than to never reach a higher one. To this end, there are options for patients. The more one knows about their condition, the better equipped they are to set, govern and meet their own objectives.
