Why Do We Use Them?

Repurposed Medications

At Freedom Integrative Wellness, we believe cancer is not just a genetic disease. It’s a metabolic and environmental disease.

Only a small percentage of cancers are purely genetic. The majority are influenced by:

  • Toxin exposure

  • Inflammation

  • Blood sugar deregulation

  • Immune dysfunction

  • Mitochondrial damage

Repurposed medications help us target these root causes, not just the tumor itself.

How Repurposed Medications Work

These therapies support the body in multiple ways:

Target Cancer Metabolism

Many cancer cells rely heavily on glucose and altered metabolic pathways.

Certain medications help:

• Reduce glucose availability

• Improve insulin sensitivity

• Disrupt cancer cell energy production

Support the Immune System

Cancer thrives when the immune system is suppressed.

Some repurposed medications:

• Enhance immune surveillance

• Reduce immune evasion by cancer cells

Reduce Inflammation

Chronic inflammation creates an environment where cancer can grow.

These medications may:

• Lower inflammatory signaling

• Improve cellular communication

Improve the Terrain (soil)

We don’t just target the “seed” (cancer), we optimize the terrain.

Repurposed medications can:

• Support mitochondrial function

• Reduce oxidative stress

• Improve cellular resilience

INNOVATIVE SUPPORT FOR INTEGRATIVE CANCER CARE

Repurposed medications offer new hope by transforming drugs originally developed for other conditions into powerful allies in cancer care. These medications can enhance treatment outcomes, minimize side effects, and provide additional support alongside your primary treatment plan. Whether you’re in active cancer treatment, recovery, or focusing on prevention, integrating repurposed medications into your care offers innovative ways to promote healing and reduce the risk of recurrence.

BENEFITS OF REPURPOSED MEDICATIONS

Repurposed medications are incorporated into your care based on your individual needs, whether you are undergoing cancer treatment, recovering, or focused on prevention. Some key areas we focus on include:

  • Targeting Cancer Pathways: Repurposed medications can disrupt metabolic and cellular pathways that cancer cells rely on to grow and spread.

  • Managing Side Effects: These medications may also help reduce common side effects from traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation.

  • Enhancing Immune Function: Certain drugs can be used to modulate the immune system, improving your body’s ability to fight cancer.

  • Reducing Inflammation: Chronic inflammation can contribute to cancer progression, and repurposed medications help regulate the inflammatory response.

  • Supporting Long-Term Prevention: Incorporating repurposed medications may reduce the risk of recurrence by addressing underlying health issues that could promote cancer growth.
