For the past year I have seen Dr. Belanger with two problems: Acid Reflux and occasional pain in my chest.At first I was sceptical; yet my goal was to stop taking medication prescribed by my Physician.I started to feel positive about preventive medicine (naturopathy) when my stomach discomfort and pain in chest got away within a week after my first visit.I was given list of foods and drinks to avoid and list of foods and drinks to consume.Very simple remedy, yet it was very effective.In addition, Dr. Belanger recomended to take liquid fish oil, to eat a much slower pace, and take certain vitamins.I feel confident that Dr. Belanger's approach improved my quality of life, and is worth paying for.

I am convinced that Dr. Belanger saved my life.I was diagnosed with invasive bladder cancer in January 2006 at age 52.Despite three surgeries, the cancer spread aggressively to my pelvis and abdomen.The prognosis was grim.The only conventional treatment was chemotherapy, and the odds weren't good (25-33% chance that the drugs would help at all, including just stopping or slowing the spread of cancer temporarily.) Fortunately I found out about Dr. Belanger.He prescribed supplements to enhance the effectiveness of the chemo, as well as to fight the cancer on their own.He also put me on a cancer-fighting and cancer-starving diet.After 9 weeks of chemo, the results were "spectacular," to quote my oncologist at Massachusetts General Hospital.CT and bone scans showed no more visible cancer anywhere.My oncology team was also amazed at how well I tolerated the chemo (which was important so I could consistently receive the full dose) and how quickly my energy returned after the treatment.I was (and am) very impressed with Dr. Belanger throughout the entire process.His approach is strictly science-based, using the latest studies on supplements in cancer treatment.He was scrupulously careful about not prescribing any supplement not proven to NOT interfere with the specific chemo drugs I received. (It's vital to have an expert help you to avoid taking the wrong supplements at the wrong time as well as to take the right supplements when they can help.) He was also very knowledgeable about all the conventional treatments my oncologist was giving me, and very articulate in explaining the cancer process and how supplements could help. Now, because my cancer is the kind that can often return anytime (it is most likely still present at microscopic levels), I continue to follow a regimen of supplements and diet prescribed by Dr. Belanger to keep it in remission by controlling blood factors that might encourage tumor growth.So far, every three months my scans have continued to show no visible signs of cancer.Plus I feel just great.Although my oncologists can do nothing more on the conventional side to help me, except for hope, Dr. Belanger is confident that he can keep me living a long time.So am I. If you or a loved one have cancer, I urge you to add Dr. Belanger to your team.

At this time my daughter put me in contact (via the telephone) with Dr, James Belanger at the Lexington Natural Health Center.Dr. Belanger introduced me to naturopathic medicine which I had never of.

After considerable research, and discussions with many cancer oriented health professionals, (mainstream and otherwise), it was obvious nobody had a clear cut idea how to proceed, until I was referred to Dr. Belanger.He was familiar with a much broader range of options and treatments than anyone else I had consulted.We have worked together for more than a year and a half on an ever evolving regimen that has boosted my immune system and kept my overall health very stable.More importantly, he has been very generous with his time, and given me a sense of being personally focused on my situation to a far greater degree than I have experienced with anyone else.H.W.
I began seeing Dr. Belanger in the fall of 2003, after I was diagnosed with breast cancer.I was referred to him by my local naturopath, who knew about Dr. Belanger's work with cancer patients.Since then I have been on a regimen of naturopathic medicines that not only help strengthen my immune system, which has been compromised due to the various chemo and radiation therapies I've received, but that also help my body fight the cancer itself.I believe that these naturopathic supplements have played a big role in allowing me to feel and look as well as I do now.In addition, it has been a huge help to me to discuss what I'm going through with Dr. Belanger.He explains things so clearly, often pointing out aspects that my oncologist does not address, and I always feel better after talking with him.I truly feel that the research he is doing and the kind of care he gives are vital to the development of cancer treatment today and will help bring about a shift in the way conventional medicine looks at the cure and prevention of this disease.LS, age 48

In short order, I found Dr. James Belanger , a naturopathic physician, who gave me a complete nutritional program which included a range of high level anti-oxidants and a change in lifestyle and diet.Armed with the catchy battle cry, "Eat your Greens", I followed his advice and within the year, the cataracts had completely disappeared.I firmly believe that the natural approach to treating disease is, whenever possible, the best one.Thank you, Dr. Belanger.
