Upgrade your expertise in cancer care management.

This course investigates key aspects of the biomechanics and biochemistry of cancer. These areas include cancer metabolism, the Warburg Effect, the role of glucose and insulin, lactic acid and tumor acidity, hypoxia, hypercoagulation, fibrosis, and angiogenesis, and how to target these areas with botanical medicine. It explores the many ways that cancer manipulates the microenvironment to further its own growth, invasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis. The course also provides a deep look at the role of cancer stem cells, and how to target them with Mederi Care therapeutics.

Your purchase also includes exclusive access to our bi-weekly LIVE Q&A sessions with Donnie Yance, CN, RH (AHG) & Jason Miller, DACM, LAc!

Our courses are broken up into sections, which are organized by topic and learning objectives. Each section includes recorded presentations with our subject matter experts, relevant course materials, and assessments to help you track your progress (quizzes, short answer, and/or clinical correlate assignments). Bonus content includes presentation slides, speaker notes, research articles, and more!
