A Discussion with Amy Littlefield ND, MSOM, FABNO

Green tea, curcumin, Vitamin D and medicinal mushrooms can be a part of an oncology care plan but how do you know how much to take and whether it is safe? Naturopathic oncologists are trained to understand when a therapy is substantiated by evidence and to guide patients about safe supportive use in conjunction with conventional care. Dr. Amy Littlefield, a board certified naturopathic oncologist, will offer her expertise and answer questions related to the field of integrative oncology. She will present on the recent advances in the research of natural therapeutics and explain the strategies that are used to determine when and how natural treatments may be used safely with conventional oncology.
