Dr Keith Block
Profile:

Keith I. Block MD, widely regarded as the father of integrative oncology, combines cutting-edge conventional treatments with individualised and scientifically-based innovative, complementary and nutraceutical therapies.

In 1980, he co-founded the Block Center for Integrative Cancer Treatment in Skokie, Illinois, the first such facility in North America. This model continues to set the standard for the practice of a comprehensive, individualised approach to cancer treatment in the US.

Block Therapy is a wholistic approach to cancer offering integrative cancer care, using a complete detoxification programme with conventional and complementary techniques. Dr Keith Block’s approach uses the least invasive therapies, moving up towards more invasive therapies only as needed. A patient’s programme is tailor-made for them and includes nutrition, body and mind fitness, stress management, supplements, electrotherapy and medical care.

Dr Block’s experience has developed from his own personal health problems. During his early years of medical training, hesought therapies as he found no lasting relief from conventional medical treatments. Eventually he found different therapies and philosophies that dealt with himself as a whole person. He went on to find the least invasive therapies to heal his own body.

At the Block Center, Keith Block MD, Penny Block PhD and their team are pioneers in integrative treatment who are recognised for setting the national standard in this fighting-on-all-fronts approach to cancer treatment.

Dr Block has more than 150 publications in scientific journals and books relevant to nutritional and integrative oncology. In his breakthrough book, Life Over Cancer Dr Block presents the unique Block Program for fighting cancer to people who are at different places along the cancer continuum; for those who’ve been recently diagnosed, in treatment, concluded treatment and need to prevent recurrence. Dr Block’s meticulously researched program is laid out and explained in an easy-to-understand language that patients can implement both by themselves, as well as with the assistance of their healthcare provider.
