Abstract
This case serves as a prime example of how a 52-year-old woman who was initially not even a client, but who chaperoned a relative regularly to their own appointments at the clinic, quickly had a time-sensitive medical concern detected, diagnosed and ultimately resolved. She mentioned a lump underneath her left arm as a passing concern. The functional medicine practitioner took note of the concern and acted responsibly to save the client’s health, by responding quickly to evidence of trouble which could easily have been ignored by the client, resulting in a potentially significant negative impact for her future. This case is also about client-centered, systematic case taking, and a positive outcome resulting from the methodical management of the case both clinically and functionally [1,2]. The client required very little convincing of the need to follow through with the recommended clinical testing regime, used to determine the degree of disease progression, bio-regulatory system medicine (BrSM), and functional medicine approaches to address systemic core imbalances. This approach was chosen in order to mitigate excessive inflammation and promote resolution. This case study demonstrates the successful treatment of metastatic breast cancer, primary in-situ left breast with combined conventional, Bio-regulatory System Medicine (BrSM) and functional medicine approaches. The client was declared clinically well fourteen months after diagnosis without any chemotherapy, only one short course of palliative radiotherapy (20Gy in 5 fractions), and hormone therapy.
