Personalized precision medicine may hold the potential to not just treat chronic and life-threatening diseases like cancer, but it can also enhance your longevity. “The right medication and at the same time the best targeting of medication is what makes us unique in what we do,” said Dr. John Oertle, Chief Medical Director, Envita Medical Centers. Speaking to Jerry Snider on his podcast, Dr. Oertle explained how this innovative field of personalized precision medicine, played a crucial role in helping many late-stage cancer patients recover holistically, despite being left with limited options in other notable cancer specialty facilities of the country.
“The majority of cancers are environmental, caused either due to carcinogens, environmental toxins, or oncogenic infections,” said Dr. Oertle, whose team focuses on not only treating the disease but identifying and addressing its root causative factors as well. The Envita team specializes in personalized precision treatments, and they have over two decades of clinical experience in treating late-stage cancers and other chronic and autoimmune diseases. Precision medicine considers the detailed genetics, epigenetics, pharmacogenomics, environmental, and other factors that contribute to patient recovery. This level of in-depth analysis of the root causative factors helps to build a customized treatment protocol for each individual patient, going beyond the scope of standard one-size-fits-all treatment protocols.
Precision medicine helps to treat not just the tumor or the disease, but it unravels and proactively treats the causes responsible for the growth and proliferation of disease. This comprehensively personalized approach to treatment enables team Envita to deliver the most appropriate medications targeted at the disease core, helping to reduce the chances of disease recurrence and metastases.
Dr. Oertle explained how this proactive treatment approach helps transform the scope of preventive care, as it also focuses on bolstering the immune system, which is the ultimate defense mechanism of the body. “I think we can easily live 95 and above,” added Dr. Oertle, while explaining how precision medicine, with its detailed diagnostics, has the ability to enhance longevity through advanced preventive care. To help every American utilize the benefits of this advanced from of medicine, the Envita team has recently launched a Managed Service Organization (MSO), called Envita Health™, which offers revolutionary health insurance plan designs.
