Russ Canfield, MD

As an integrative family physician, I am aware of the physical and biological elements that influence health such as diet, exercise, and nutritional supplements, as well as the internal, felt dimensions of mental, emotional and spiritual health. Both those dimensions exist for us on the individual level, but also on the collective levels of family, community and even the biosphere as a whole.  Our physical environment is becoming increasingly toxic and our culture increasingly stressful.

In my successful application essay to the University at Buffalo School of Medicine, I wrote about my commitment to both the art and the science of medicine. I saw how conventional medicine focused on the physical aspects of physical illness, but didn’t seem to appreciate that one’s inner emotions, attitudes and intentions also play a vital role in the cause and cure of physical illness.  I became convinced that the healing partnership between patient and physician, acknowledging the patient’s goals and concerns, was as important as the doctor’s knowledge base in anatomy, physiology and pathology.  I learned and identified with the “Biopsychosocial Model,” which recognizes not just the physical side of health and disease, but also the psychological, social, and environmental aspects of health.

At the University of New Mexico, I did my residency training in Family Medicine because I was interested in learning all aspects of medicine.  I couldn’t see how the body could be divided into specialties. Clearly, the various organ systems are interrelated, and it is important to see the whole.  Through my formal post-graduate training from the Institute for Functional Medicine, I have refined my understanding of how genetics, environment and lifestyle interact as a total system.  I now diagnose and treat illnesses based on patterns of imbalance and dysfunction, rather than treating the symptoms of the illness specifically.  Functional Medicine goes beyond the quick fix of masking symptoms with medication; rather, it treats the unique individual who has the disease.

After ten years of experience in working with patients of all ages, and specializing in this integral, 360° approach to health and well-being, I tend to recommend a foundation of naturopathic therapies and, when indicated, complement them with powerful conventional medical treatments.

I have earned and maintain board certification from both the American Board of Family Medicine and the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine.  I have further formal training in mindfulness meditation and in transpersonal studies from Naropa University, and am a Certified Diabetes Educator. I am deeply committed to teaching and I take the time to educate my patients.  In the past, I was a Clinical Assistant Professor at the UNM School of Medicine, teaching this holistic approach to medical students and residents.  I have written for and have been quoted in newspapers and magazines including Natural Health.

During an office visit, we will likely discuss your health concerns on multiple levels and from different perspectives.  Some treatments may serve to immediately control the concerning medical symptoms while other strategies may serve to balance both body and mind in a detoxifying and replenishing way.  I am accepting new patients who are looking for a holistic primary care physician or just want a 360° Medicine consultation.

James W. Forsythe, M.D., H.M.D., has long been considered one of the most respected physicians in the United States, particularly for his treatment of cancer and the legal use of human growth hormone. In the early 1960s, Dr. Forsythe graduated with honors from University California at Berkeley and earned his Medical Degree from University of  California, San Francisco, before spending two years residency in Pathology at Tripler Army Hospital, Honolulu.  After a tour of duty in Vietnam, he returned to San Francisco and completed an internal medicine residency and an oncology fellowship.

Leading the Way to Better Health

While a standard allopathic physician and before he became boarded as a Homeopathic Physician, for a number of years, he served as the only oncologist in Northern Nevada who would treat cancer patients that also were under the care of an alternative medical physician. From the 1970s through the early 1990s, he observed that patients who were integrating conventional treatments with alternative therapies were doing better. While enjoying a quality of life far superior to patients who received only standard-oncology  treatments, these people with cancer had fewer side effects from chemotherapy.

These results convinced  Dr. Forsythe that—while conventional medicine had made great strides with chemotherapy drugs targeting specific cancers—so-called standard medical methods lagged behind in keeping the patients’ immune system stimulated. More than 25 years after becoming a certified medical oncologist, in 1995 Dr. Forsythe also earned a homeopathic certificate from the British Institute of Homeopathy. He started the oncology units at all three major hospitals in Reno, Nevada as well as the Veteran’s Hospital Oncology Clinic. He also was the founding father for Reno’s Ronald McDonald House. Most notably he warned of the “Cancer Cluster” in Fallon, Nevada due to high levels of arsenic in the ground water.

Your Alternative ONCOLOGY Approach to CANCER and Chronic Disease

IPTLD – Insulin Potentiation Low Dose Chemotherapy.

With our IPTLD (Insulin Potentiation Low Dose Chemotherapy) we are your answer to kinder, gentler chemo without the terrible side-effects associated with the disease. We believe in the motto that good medicine is not measured by the amount of organs you can remove, but by the amount that you can preserve.

Now you can undergo chemotherapy while keeping your dignity and hair.

Our mission is to: * IMPROVE IMMUNITY * Treat the patient as a whole. * Focus on the cause of disease. * Minimise long term use of pharmaceutical drugs.

IPTLD is your ALTERNATIVE ONCOLOGY approach to CANCER without the side   effects.

• Same ONCOLOGY CHEMO medicine – much less side-effects.
• Now a CANCER patient can continue with his/her life without having to spend hours or days in hospital due to chemo therapy side-effects.   Now you have the ability to spend your time where you see fit.
• Experience getting better in stead of getting worse after each treatment!

ß  Cancer cell sensitivity testing is now available through our   affiliation with a German LAB

Circulating   cancer cells can now be isolated from your blood. The   circulating cancer cells are tested for sensitivy to a wide   variety of chemo agents. The chemo agents most applicable for your cancer can now be used with our IPT protocol. This is   especially handy for patients where all known chemo protocols   have been used for a specific cancer type.

One must always   remember cancer is a living changing mutating disease. You may   end up with a totally different cancer than which you started   out with in the first place, hence the chemo resistance that   develops over time with your conventional therapy.

With this new   tool available to us, we have a better chance than guessing   which chemo agents to use next.

Other   diseases that we focus on are:

• HEART   DISEASE – preventing bypass surgery – utilizing Chelation Therapy.
• CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASES – utilizing Bio-Oxidation   and/or Chelation Therapy.
• PAIN treatment via Neuraltherapy.
