Understanding PTEN Gene Mutations: Where Traditional Wisdom Meets Modern Cancer Research
In the evolving landscape of cancer research, few areas demonstrate the potential for integrative approaches better than our growing understanding of tumor suppressor genes. At Sierra Botanica Collaborative Medicine, we believe in connecting ancient healing wisdom with contemporary medical science. Today, I’d like to explore an important topic in cancer biology—PTEN gene mutations—and discuss how both conventional treatments and traditional botanical compounds might play complementary roles in addressing these molecular changes.

In the quiet treatment rooms of Sierra Botanica Collaborative Medicine, we often witness what conventional medicine might call “unexpected recoveries.” A patient with chronic pain finds relief after addressing emotional trauma. Someone with persistent digestive issues improves dramatically when they change not just their diet, but their relationship with stress.
