Life Experience

With my father's passing from cancer when I was younger and several family members thereafter, I have been searching ever since to integrate the very best treatments from all over the world and help hold patients hands and hearts through their journey.

I also believe that part of treating cancer is finding meaning behind the illness whilst combining the very best of complementary and conventional medicines; supporting optimal function of body and mind, reducing symptoms and targeting fever cells directly.

Just as no human is the same, every cancer has a unique footprint that we have to study closely to understand and treat effectively. Healing often involves a lot more than just cure; and our focus is on optimal living and supporting the journey with evidence-based medicine, and heart.

Testimonials

Stories from my clients

I was desperate to live despite being faced with Stage 4 adenocarcinoma. Walking into the arms of the compassionate care and expert professionalism of Dr James and Doc D, I knew that I’d been thrown a lifeline, and airlifted to a safe place where cancer was an adventure of hope instead of a battlefield riddled with fear and uncertainty. Today I live abundantly strong, healthy and healed, with one excellent report one after the other as I continue to implement their integrative healing protocols.

Satisfied Patient

(Dr Laporta) We are so thankful to have found this integrative approach and are excited about more people knowing that there are options available – ones that allow you the luxury of being as ‘normal’ as possible as you tackle this destructive disease head on!

Cindy

Satisfied Patient

Six months ago I was diagnosed with a kind of blood cancer which Dr James moved very quickly to treat integratively and support the hematologist. Very successfully, I am completely cured. I find Dr James compassionate, very competent both with Western and Eastern treatments - to the layman he borders on genius."

Jeff

Satisfied Patient

I met Dr James about 3 years ago and have got to know him as an extremely thorough, compassionate Doctor, highly regarded by specialists we dealt with when my husband was successfully treated for cancer. Together with Dr Derek they make a great team which instills trust. We deeply appreciate that at Malachite centre brings eastern and western medicine together in such perfect harmony.
