Metastatic Breast cancer, as well as most all advanced cancer stages, require much more complex planning than simply sustaining common treatments. Chemotherapy protocols for metastatic breast cancer are very similar, if not identical, throughout cancer hospitals and centers. Unfortunately, standard protocols of chemotherapy in late stage cancers are only 2% effective after 5 years. Genetic Continue Reading
When fighting cancer, many people are curious what it really takes to stack the odds in their favor. The answer lies within a customized and personalized cancer treatment plan. Reviewing cancer treatment plans for patients is very confusing and can be very overwhelming as well. The standard cancer treatment regimens prescribed by most oncologists have Continue Reading
Stage 4 Breast Cancer Patients have typically exhausted chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and all surgical options. Many times, stage 4 breast cancer patients who achieved remission at one point, fall back into having cancer because of the metastasis that was never taken care of. These patients accepted the best presented conventional cancer protocol, believing it was the Continue Reading
It’s a question patients ask us all the time: why doesn’t insurance cover natural medicine? The fast answer to the question is that insurance limits our ability to help patients. We will see the convoluted bureaucratic nonsense that feeds one of the world’s biggest industries at the expense of patient care. To better answer your Continue Reading
The Current Problem with Modern Medicine In their September 2008 issue, Family Circle featured an article entitled “The Incredible Shrinking Doctor’s Appointment,” written by Sally Kuzemchak. According to Ms. Kuzemchak, research conducted by Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland has revealed that patients only get 11 minutes of face time with their doctors per visit. This is shorter than Continue Reading
Too many people are dying due to the ineffectiveness of late stage cancer treatments. How many times have we all seen someone we know struggle and suffer? Cancer, unfortunately, has become an industry entrenched in an unbalanced approach of chemotherapy and radiation as its singular focus. Patients and doctors alike have somewhat blindly accepted these Continue Reading
Stage 4 prostate cancer patients typically do not achieve remission with standard chemotherapy regimens and testosterone blocking agents such as Lupron, which is used to slow down the development of stage 4 prostate cancer. A major side effect of Lupron and other similar agents is breast growth and tenderness; this and other estrogen dominate related Continue Reading
One of the most frequent mistakes notably affecting stage 4 colon cancer patients is directly related to using standardized chemotherapy protocols. The approach is widely inappropriate, because ultimately, it’s only 2% effective in stage 4 colon cancer. The second widespread and deeply problematic obstacle is linked to the fact that stage 4 colon cancer patients Continue Reading
Stage 4 Breast Cancer Patients have typically exhausted their chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and all surgical options. Often times, stage 4 breast cancer patients who achieved remission at one point in their life, will fall back into having cancer because of the metastasis that was never properly treated to begin with. These patients accepted the conventional cancer protocols given Continue Reading
This video animation explains the 11 key factors that lead to the growth and spread of cancerous cells inside the human body. We have been treating patients based on these eleven critical factors for over a decade. If you or anyone you may know has been diagnosed with cancer, find out how you can benefit Continue Reading
More than 90 percent of cancer patients who die do so because of metastasis. When chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation fail, as they commonly do in late stage cancers, metastasis grow exponentially. ‘Metastasis’ is the spread of cancer. What many people do not know is that metastasis begins on the cellular level, in the very early stages of Continue Reading
Immunology Strengthens Fight Against Stage 4 Cancer and Stage 4 Leukemia The field of cancer immunology is now more than 30 years old and has developed rapidly, particularly over the last 10 years. Immunotherapy, the use of the stimulated immune system to fight off disease, has branched out into different subsets including immune system growth Continue Reading
The field of cancer immunology is ostensibly greater than 30 years old and has developed with fervor, particularly over the last 10 years. Immunotherapy, the management of the stimulated immune system to ward off disease, has systematically branched into given subsets including immune system growth factors, monoclonal antibodies, cellular therapies, and even combinations of two Continue Reading
Step One: The Dismay of a Cancer Diagnosis First, rejoice in the knowledge that you do not stand alone in this fight. We accept the premise that you have many questions and concerns and completely understand that this is a dire time for you and your family. It is so important to accept genuine support, Continue Reading
A phrase we hear fay too often from our patients is, “I wish I would have found Envita sooner.” Many of the approaches and strategies we use for cancer treatment stem from years of perfecting personalized medicine. The more we learn and understand about cancer the more we realize that answer lies within each individual Continue Reading
In the June 2005 Townsend Letter, Dr. Ralph Moss profiled the newest treatment for prostate cancer, Provenge, which is manufactured by Dendreon Corporation of Seattle. Provenge is an autologous vaccine made by initially separating out antigen-presenting cells, namely dendritic cells and macrophages, from a patient’s blood. Following isolation of these cells a protein called PAP, Continue Reading
AAIT is an acronym for Autologous Adoptive Immune Therapy. This means that the therapy is created from a patient’s own blood and is infused into that person during treatment. There are dozens of immunotherapy strategies and treatments that can fall under the generic label of autologous adoptive immunotherapy. Cancer immunotherapy attempts to stimulate the immune system to Continue Reading
A large number of cancer and Stage 4 cancer patients will look at statistical outcomes when choosing the optimal treatment facility, but as you will learn, statistics can be misleading. This article goes far beyond the numbers, giving patients a deeper understanding of how to properly evaluate their options and statistically improve their cancer outcomes. Continue Reading
This peer-reviewed paper by Envita was written to help both patients and health professionals learn more about the benefits of Vitamin C.

A new and exciting discovery to provide real hope for late stage and complex cancer patients has arrived. For years, patients and doctors have been asking, “Why does chemotherapy only work for some patients and not others?” For example, a patient may try a different chemo regiment over and over, or may “respond” to chemotherapy Continue Reading
Research has shown that one way cancer develops and progresses is through avoiding apoptosis, or programmed cell death, which is a naturally-occurring event in the body. Apoptosis is the method by which the body rids itself of damaged or unwanted cells and maintains healthy tissue function. Normal cells generally trigger apoptosis in response to a Continue Reading
Metastasis refers to the spread of cancer cells from a primary tumor to distant sites in the body. It is one of the most devastating aspects of cancer and accounts for over 90 percent of cancer patient deaths. An area of growing importance and study is the phenomenon of dormant metastasis. Numerous studies have shown Continue Reading
Microtubules are subcellular structures vital for normal cell function. They make up the architecture of the cell and are responsible for many cellular processes, including maintaining cell shape; mediating intracellular transport; forming the mitotic spindle’ and neurotransmission, just to name a few. All cells undergo a normal cell cycle by which they grow and divide. Continue Reading
Cancers can develop from dysfunction in mitochondria, an important organelle within our cells which aids in blocking and policing cancer cell development. Envita believes that helping the mitochondria to achieve health and stay healthy plays an important role in cancer treatment. Mitochondrial health is particularly important in patients dealing with infectious neurotoxins and environmental toxic Continue Reading
Many have been faced with the all-too-common dilemma that arises when the oncologist orders a standard regime of chemotherapy to treat their advanced or stage 4 cancers, even after chemotherapy had previously failed. Patients often feel that the course of treatment can be worse than the disease itself. What’s more, there is seldom time to Continue Reading
