An in-depth look at NDMAPS™ and Integrative Oncology
This initiative stands as the first of its kind in the industry. The initial focus of the pilot project revolved around integrative oncology within the practices of naturopathic doctors. Its primary objectives included providing NDs with the necessary tools for judiciously recommending evidence-based products during and after conventional treatment in integrative oncology. This support aimed to enhance patients’ quality of life and mitigate treatment-related side effects. In addition, the project aimed to provide tools for long-term care and recovery—areas in which NDs excel due to their expertise in managing chronic diseases over extended periods.
NDMAPS™ Review
Central to the pilot phase was the collaboration of experts and practicing NDs specializing in oncology patient care. Their combined academic knowledge and clinical experience informed the development of bespoke product formulas designed to support the patient while they undergo conventional treatments and in their recovery. To ensure the safety of these new formulations for individuals living with cancer, a protocol was devised: NDs on the board would utilize the products on their cancer patients for a period of 12 months. Comprehensive data on aspects such as side effects, tolerability, quality of life, biomarkers, and clinical significance were meticulously documented throughout the year and made available to other NDs through our NDMAPS™ Review. The effective formulations then officially became available through Vitazan Professional. You will recognize them by the NDMAPS™ crest they bear on their label.
Ask an ND about a case
Our aspiration is that the diverse learning materials we provide — such as webinars, articles, research papers, and customer support in the form of “Ask an ND about a case” — will bolster your confidence and trust. The NDMAPS™ methodology is currently being applied to other areas of study and analysis.
