The CMA Certification in Integrative Oncology
The CMA Certification in Integrative Oncology is an advanced professional training course that offers valuable knowledge about cancer development and treatment options to complementary and integrative health practitioners.
Written by the renowned immunologist, Dr. Peter Kay, this life-saving course is also beneficial to cancer patients and students with an interest in biological sciences. This practical course helps practitioners provide much-needed explanations about the pros and cons of various cancer treatment options.
Key Topics Covered
- Pathogenetic considerations
- Pharmacological aspects
- Immunopathological factors
- Dietary factors in cancer development and treatment
With over 6 billion building blocks of DNA and more than 22,000 genes that can synthesize over 100,000 different proteins, mistakes in DNA can disrupt proper cellular differentiation and proliferation, potentially leading to cancer formation. This course explains how genetic profiles, DNA instability, and environmental factors contribute to cancer development.
The CMA Certification in Integrative Oncology is a unique and valuable course that provides life-saving information to practitioners, students, and patients alike.
Exclusive Bonus

About the Author: Dr. Peter Kay
I was born in the UK and in the early part of my scientific career, I specialised in blood group serology and haematology.
In 1974, I moved to Australia to establish a kidney transplant unit at the Royal Perth Hospital in Western Australia. I later became a member of the Department of Pathology at the University of Western Australia, specialising in Immunopathology.
In the late 1980s, I was awarded my PhD on immuno-genetics. In 1989, I founded the first Molecular Pathology laboratory in Western Australia in the Faculty of Dentistry and Medicine at the University of Western Australia. I remained as Head of the Molecular Pathology laboratory until I retired from Academia in 2001. During that time, I conducted world-class research into tissue regeneration, genetics and epigenetics (especially with respect to DNA methylation), cancer biology and molecular genetic aspects of cancer diagnosis.
I have supervised well over 20 PhD students and helped launch their scientific careers in many areas of clinico-pathological research. As part of my supervisory role, I always taught my PhD students the importance of scientific ethics and explained their responsibilities as future senior scientists. For example, I taught them how important it is to properly acknowledge the intellectual contributions of others. I also gave students the confidence to develop original thought processes and critically assess the validity of information. Thinking originally means that you shouldn’t accept news headlines or hear-say as the final truth. Instead, it is critical that you equip yourself with the necessary skills to become an independent thinker.
At The Complementary Medical Association, we recognise the importance of critical thinking and offer world-renowned educational programmes to teach you how to develop critical assessment qualities. Because of the scientific quality and originality of our work, I and my PhD candidates are proud to have published 93 papers in world-class scientific journals.
In recognition of the fact that I had become skilful in distinguishing between bad science and good science, I was invited by the National Health and Medical Research Councils of Australia and New Zealand as a senior peer reviewer to assess the suitability and validity of new scientific research and many grant applications for funding. I undertook these assessments over many years.
Now, as part of The Complementary Medical Association team, I am delighted to be able to contribute the results of these experiences to our educational programmes. Hybrid vigour is one of the most important biological phenomena ever recognised. It involves the breeding together of two genetically different members of plant or animal species. The application of hybrid vigour has enormous commercial and health benefits. Even so, after almost a century of research, it is still unclear what drives hybrid vigour.
As a reflection of my original thinking, I put forward an exciting new way in which hybrid vigour may be brought about. The new proposed mechanism is shown in the submitted Patent Applications WO 2005/075668 and WO 2007/012138. As part of The Complementary Medical Association team, I enjoy discussing these possibilities with our students, showing them how I developed new original thoughts throughout my scientific career.
Finally, I am both a lifelong learner and a lifelong science educator. That is why I am proud to be part of The Complementary Medical Association team, so that I can fuel my curiosity and that of our students with new discoveries and add a further layer of teaching experiences.
