Meet your physician

Dr. Salvador Vargas, Medical Director

Dr. Vargas has spent more than 25 years caring for people with cancer using an integrative approach: combining supportive therapies, nutrition and close follow-up with respect for the treatment you receive from your oncologist.

Every plan starts with Dr. Vargas personally reviewing your diagnosis, pathology, imaging and treatment history. He explains what integrative care can and cannot do for your situation, so you can make a clear, informed decision with your family and your oncology team.

  • Personally reviews every case before a plan is proposed
  • Coordinates with your oncologist when you authorize it
  • Bilingual consultations in English and Spanish

Treatments

Integrative therapies we offer

Your plan is built for your diagnosis, stage and overall health. Not every therapy is right for every patient, and Dr. Vargas will explain the expected benefits, risks and evidence for each one he recommends.

Hyperthermia

Controlled heating of tissue, used in some cancer programs together with other treatments. We review whether it suits your case and how it would be combined.

Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT)

A low-dose chemotherapy protocol given with insulin under continuous medical monitoring. It is not appropriate for everyone; candidacy and risks are discussed in detail.

High-dose IV vitamin C

Intravenous vitamin C, used in integrative programs mainly to support quality of life during treatment. Lab screening is done first to confirm it is safe for you.

Ozone therapy

An adjunct therapy offered in some integrative clinics. We explain how it is administered, what to expect, and its limits before it is included in any plan.

Immune and metabolic support

Nutrition, metabolic and immune-support protocols aimed at strength, energy and recovery, adjusted to your lab results and current treatment.

Emotional and family support

A calm, private setting, time to ask questions, and guidance for the family members who travel with you.

Important: integrative therapies are meant to complement, not replace, evidence-based oncology treatment such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or immunotherapy. Please keep your oncologist informed and do not stop any prescribed treatment without talking to them.
