Dr. LaValley is one of the world’s most advanced clinical researchers and medical doctor practitioners in the field of integrative cancer treatment.

Dr. LaValley utilizes the vast knowledge that exists – via the PubMed portal – to unlock the anti-cancer benefits of natural product supplements and re-purposed (off–label) pharmaceutical drugs to create personalized treatments for patients with cancer.

He has worked since 1986 as an MD, and over the last 18 years has developed extensive, state-of-the-art, relational, evidence-based databases about the molecular biology of cancer.

These databases have helped him build research methodologies for cancer treatments that are designed to be administered in addition to – not instead of – conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

He is now opening this extensive and rigorous knowledge to a broader audience and patient base.

Dr. LaValley is completing a book explaining the science and benefits of Molecular Integrative Oncology (“the other half of cancer treatment”) – to be published in 2023.

It’s intended to provide a significant step forward in the understanding of Molecular Integrative Oncology and for the direct access clinicians and their patients can have to rigorously evidence-based, patient-centered, safe, well-tolerated, immediately-available, precision-medicine anti-cancer natural product supplements and re-purposed pharmaceuticals — in addition to, not instead of – conventional chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.

The molecularly-targeted anti-cancer treatment options for natural health product supplements and re-purposed pharmaceuticals include targeting of the Hallmarks of Cancer via molecular-targeting of

  1. cancer metabolism,
  2. cancer molecular networks and
  3. tumor microenvironment cells and molecules.

When the person diagnosed with cancer is receiving chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, the treatment recommendations are developed with supporting evidence-base reference citations aiming at

  • molecularly-targeted synergistic enhancement of chemosensitivity/radiation sensitivity (decrease of chemoresistance/radiation resistance),
  • concurrent protection of healthy cells (cytoprotection), and
  • avoiding adverse/antagonistic interference of the desired anti-cancer molecular mechanism of action of the chemotherapy and/or radiation.

As well as continuing his research, he works as a physician consultant to a select group of integrative medical physicians and their patients.

November 2013
Featured in DoctorsNS – the Official Monthly Magazine of Doctors Nova Scotia; “Merging of Medicines, NS physician combines Eastern, Western practices” Read the article. The article shares the story of Dr LaValley’s travel to China in 1982 as a medical student member of an official delegation of 30 US medical students led by Nobel-Laureate Dr. Victor Sidel, MD and his wife Dr. Ruth Sidel, PhD. The experience profoundly changed the direction of Dr. LaValley’s professional career as well as his scientific and academic world view. He returned to the USA (and Canada) thereafter in pursuit of integrating Western reductionist medicine and Eastern holistic medicine in clinical practice.

2000 – 2004
Appointed by the Canadian Federal Minister of Health to the Expert Advisory Committee (EAC) of the Natural Health Products Directorate (NHPD) – formerly the Office of Natural Health Products .– for the development of Regulations for Natural Health Products (NHPs) in Ottawa, Canada.

1997 – 2000
He served in the antecedent Natural Health Products Advisory Panel and National Transition Team – for the Office of Natural Health Products, Therapeutic Products Directorate, Health Protection Branch, Health Canada.

1998 – 1999
Served as a member of the Canadian National Advisory Group on Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Health Promotion and Programs Branch, Health Canada.
