“My goal is to help people find ways to overcome cancer and chronic disease, to help them live happier, healthier lives, and to turn complex medical concepts into easily accessible information.” ~ Dr. Jason Miller
Why Cancer and Chronic Disease?
"My exploration of the role of botanical and nutritional medicine in oncology began with my relationship with Donald Yance, CN, RH (AHG), founder of Natura Health Products and The Mederi Center in Ashland, OR. Soon after graduating from OCOM in 2005, I began working directly with hundreds of cancer patients who were in desperate need of support and guidance through the maze of challenging decisions that a cancer diagnosis brings. Through my work with the Mederi Center, and through ongoing collaboration with long-time cancer experts Dwight McKee, Jonathan Treasure, and many others, I was brought into a community of medical practitioners and scholars that represent an unprecedented base of knowledge and wisdom in the collaborative management of cancer and chronic disease."
"I’ve been a patient of Jason Miller for over 10 years. Over that time, we’ve been working on the prostate cancer issues that I’ve had for over 15 years. Of all the practitioners I’ve worked with, Jason has the most comprehensive understanding of the biochemistry of the human body and how everything is interrelated. He’s able to describe how taking a specific food or herb impacts the whole system. He’s a compassionate, sensitive, caring person who has supported my decision to heal my whole body with a holistic, collaborative approach, and obviously I trust his judgement completely." ~ Richard Magarian, Berkeley, CA.
“I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2008, and was very fortunate to find Jason “Cedar” Miller, who guided me in taking optimal care of my condition, through a personalized, ever-evolving protocol. Because of this, I am much healthier and still have my prostate. Cedar brings much to his work, including the very best of botanical and nutritional medicine in conjunction with astonishing biochemical savvy and more than ample knowledge of allopathic medicine. He is a gem, a master at his craft.” ~ Robert Masters, PhD, Ashland, OR
“After a successful surgery to remove a sarcoma of the retroperitoneum in 2015, doctors couldn’t agree on how to treat me with chemotherapy. There was very little data to support the benefits of conventional treatment in my case, as sarcomas are difficult to treat and mine was a rare and aggressive kind. I ultimately decided to forego chemotherapy, and to return every six months for follow up imaging.
Then I found Jason, who made me feel that there was a lot that we could be doing to improve my chances of healing. I was impressed by his wealth of knowledge about conventional and “unconventional” oncology, and by his eagerness and tireless research! I feel fortunate to have Jason’s brilliant and inquisitive mind on my side. During our virtual appointments, we dissect my lab results, tailor my protocol, answer my questions, even collaborate with colleagues, and he always makes me feel as if I am his most important patient. Additionally, Jason is very sensitive to the fact that integrative cancer care is expensive, with hardly any help from medical insurance. I am grateful that he is dedicated to making integrative health care affordable for more people. Jason is a gifted healer and a caring friend.” ~ Mrs. S, Dallas, Texas
“Working with Jason has been like the missing ingredient in a soup. I was doing a lot of supplements and healing modalities before I met him, but nothing was really helping. I knew I was getting worse even though I was doing everything I could think of to get better. Once I started following Jason’s recommendations, I finally started feeling better. I’m not done, I’ve still got my work cut out for me, and there’s no guarantee, but at least I have the confidence that was lacking before, and I know I’m doing all I can to heal. I trust Jason, and I believe in his expertise in the field of healing the body. I am so glad I found him. I feel like I have a second lease on life, and because of him I believe I will see my daughters graduate from high school and college. There is no price I could put on that!” ~ Tambre Thompson, Berkeley, CA
