015: Evidence Based Integrative Approaches for Childhood Cancer: Audra & Justin Wilford of MaxLove Project
02:07:43
MaxLove Project founders Audra and Justin Wilford stop by for a long overdue conversation on all things childhood cancer. Did you know that by age 45 95% of childhood cancer survivors will be dealing with secondary chronic disease, and within that 85% will be life threatening? Audra and Justin are out to change that.
Usually on the show we’re talking mostly in terms of adult cancer and I then go back and write on My Kid Cures Cancer.com about how the information applies to childhood cancer but this interview was actually about integrative approaches to childhood cancer.
With that in mind if you’re an adult interested in adult things not to worry just like the information usually crosses over quite nicely from adult to child I promise you there is plenty of really good insights in here for you as
In This Epidose:
Audra and Justin’s six year integrative journey with their son Max and a brain tumor.
How what started out as a project to deliver nightlights to familys has become an organization that has helped thousands of children survive and thrive through cancer treatment and beyond.
Fierce foods in the fight against cancer
How to look at and incorporate evidence based medicine into your plan
Audra and Justins’s feelings on conventional treatment and what they’d like to change within the system
Resources and optimal mindset for getting started down the integrative road and positive lifestyle and diet change.
An actual study with actual kids with cancer implementing multiple complementary interentinsn and pubishind te resutls
Full review article, video interview & how this information applies to childhood cancer:
Audra and Justin Wilford founded the MaxLove Project in 2011, just three months after their then 4-year-old son, Max, was diagnosed with brain cancer (mixed-grade glioma). Following a difficult partial-resection surgery and the start of one-and-a-half years of chemotherapy, the Wilfords decided to become full partners in Max’s treatment, recovery, and survivorship. By consulting with doctors, researchers, and other cancer families, they began to find out what they could do, in addition to the standard treatment, to improve Max’s functioning, pain levels, energy, and future survivorship.
Whole food nutrition, good sleep hygiene, kid-friendly physical activity, and stress management techniques like acupressure, massage, and breathing were just a few of the evidence-based practices that helped Max thrive through treatment and into survivorship. Today, the Wilfords direct the MaxLove Project with the mission to increase the quality of life and reduce health risks for all children fighting cancer in treatment and beyond.

Dr. Anthony G. Beck lays out how cancer does not exist… in the way we’re taught to think it does.
In This Episode:
Dr. Beck’s take on cancer that it is not one precise thing that everyone wants to try to pigeon hole it as but more of a particular state of being within a biochemically unique individual person and to reverse it we just need to find what’s in the way for us specifically and remove it.
Dr. Beck’s five causes for cancer and all dysfunction in the body for that matter
We’re all individuals living in a specific environment and that environment has just about everything to do with our health and cannot be overlooked.
The questions doctor beck asks and tools he uses when doing this detective work with his patients
Dr. Beck’s views on childhood a childhood cancer which he had some very insightful thoughts on as well so.

01:09:29
Dr. Dan Rubin Discusses:
What circulating tumor cell testing can show us that conventional testing can’t, especially pertaining to monitoring cancers in remission
Determining how cancer cells managed to metastasize and what to do about it using lab testing
Integrative approach to newer institutional therapies such as immunotherapy and checkpoint inhibitors
This is episode 51 of Integrative Answers to Cancer with Dr. Will Cole. Another repeat guest to the show but a very timely one. If you listened to last week’s episode with my son Ryder’s original naturopathic oncologist and also foremost in the country Dr. Paul Anderson after we’d saw a bit of unexpected growth on his last MRI he was talking about some of the success he’s had with a ketogenic style diet in combination with other metabolic therapies but he also mentioned that most people who promote the ketogenic diet stupidly in his words, meaning people should be talking about plants a whole lot more than they do and another previous guest of the show Doctor Will Cole who was on back in episode forty to talk about functional medicine in cancer has a new book out on a plant based ketogenic diet so I figured it would be good timing to get him on and pick his brain on that.
And as you know we’ve had some pretty strong opinions on ketosis both ways from guests of this show and one of the primary complaints was that again so much animal product consumption is promoted which Dr. Cole is obviously addressing with his book but I also wanted to as long as we were at it to to bring up as many other criticisms or complaints I’ve heard along the lines of a ketogenic diet just being flat out unnatural plants or no plants and as it pertains to cancer in particular the lack of available data on long term survivors and I liked his answers and hope you do to.
By now hopefully you know about us we try not to completely close ourselves off from any new information or not go too deep down any one rabbit hole and always keep the big picture in mind and ask how new information fits into it and I think this interview does a good job of that.

Spagyric Medicine, Astral-Physical Connection & Herbs For Cancer - Phoenix Aurelius & Ryan Sternagel
01:31:18
Phoenix Aurelius dives deep into the world of alchemy and spagyria, exploring their implications for health and wellness. Hosting the "Alchemi-Culture" podcast, Phoenix enlightens audiences on ancient practices, the relevance of the astral body, and the rich history of alchemical science.
Essential to the conversation are Phoenix's clinical trials, which have treated myriad conditions using spagyrics, emphasizing a holistic approach to health. From the potent effects of spagyric tinctures to the significance of agricultural value over gold, Phoenix's insights challenge conventional understanding and encourage a comprehensive view of well-being.
Dive in to uncover the synergies between ancient practices and modern health, and the role of alchemy in holistic healing.
Phoenix is not only an alchemist but also a spagyria practitioner who creates tinctures and works directly with individuals seeking healing.
Incorporation of Ancient Practices:
Discussion about Phoenix's medieval-style clothing.
Phoenix prefers handcrafted, organic Baltic linen clothes for their functionality, sustainability, and ethical considerations.
Philosophy & Approach:
Phoenix Aurelius Research Academy's mission is to research holistic aspects of health, ecology, agriculture, and human nature.
Emphasis on multi-dimensional anatomy which includes the physical, subtle energy (thoughts and emotions), astral, causal, mental, and spiritual aspects of being.
The importance of addressing all these dimensions for complete wellness.
Clinical Trials & Experience:
Phoenix has conducted over 900 clinical trials using subtle methods and spagyrics to treat a range of conditions from radiation poisoning to Hashimoto's disease and cancers.
Phoenix's clientele often consists of individuals who've exhausted other traditional and alternative treatments.
The Astral Body and its Origins
The term "Astra" is Latin for star.
Theophrastus Bombastus Paracelsus, born around 1492, introduced Spagyric medicine in the early 1500s.
Paracelsus believed diseases could come from external sources.
He recognized five macro-causations of disease, with one being the influence of stars, termed "inza."
Modern interpretation relates the movement and positioning of stars and planets to diseases, suggesting their gravitational and electromagnetic fields impact human health.
The astral body corresponds with stars, where each organ is a reflection of a star.
Historical Overview of Alchemy
Alchemy's origin traces back to Egypt, a practice kept by priests and pharaohs for spiritual and industrial purposes.
Greeks adopted alchemy, followed by Arabs who began medicinal applications.
By the time the knowledge reached Europe, it got a tainted reputation due to charlatans.
Paracelsus shifted the focus of alchemy from materialistic pursuits to healing, using alchemical knowledge for medicine.
Introduction to Spagyric Medicine
Spagyric medicine was developed by Paracelsus as a way to use alchemy for healing.
Paracelsian physicians became popular in France and England.
The medical approach contrasts with the Galenic medicine, which relies on the balance of four elemental humors in the body.
Paracelsus believed the scope of what can create disease and illness was vast, and he utilized natural materials to craft medicines.
Creation of Gold and Diamonds
Modern science can create diamonds, sparking debate over the possibility of making gold.
Historically, alchemists referred to the Philosopher's Stone which, in two forms, could transmute baser metals into silver (white stone) or gold (red stone).
The debate remains on whether this transmutation is atomic in nature or simply makes the metal behave like gold.
Value of Agriculture Over Precious Metals
Phoenix Aurelius suggests that in pressing times, the intrinsic value of agriculture and basic necessities outweighs that of gold.
Ryan Sternagel's personal experiences shifted his focus from collecting gold to preparing with essential commodities like rice and beans.
Holistic Approach to Health and Disease
Phoenix Aurelius emphasizes treating the patient, not just the disease, as different individuals can have varied causes for similar ailments.
Different categories of disease causes include natural factors, spirits or electromagnetic energies, and transgressions of one's conscience.
Not all treatments work universally; their effectiveness depends on the root cause of the disease.
For example, cannabinoids might address cancer for some people but not others, depending on the underlying cause.
Impact of Personal Choices on Health and World
Actions that go against one's conscience can negatively affect health.
There's a macrocosmic link between personal health and larger world issues. Working for companies that suppress information or harm the environment can have broader repercussions.
However, awareness is crucial. Some people may work in such environments without it affecting their conscience. Still, raising awareness and striving for a better world can lead to collective health and wellness.
Phoenix Aurelius on Disease Causes
The process starts by analyzing the individual.
Identification of different causes of disease: ancestral, toxins (ins veneni), electromagnetic phenomena (ins spirituale), and transgression of conscience.
Criticism of traditional Western tropical astrology; it doesn't relate to individual health.
Introduction of Astronomology: A more accurate astrological approach, focusing on actual constellations' sizes and planetary positions.
Importance of comparing birth chart to the onset of a disease for accurate diagnosis.
Observations on the link between the position of Mars and health issues during the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically hemoglobinemia.
Phoenix Aurelius on Spagyric Process
Spagyric medicine focuses on separating and then recombining elements of plants.
Everything consists of sulfur, mercury, and salt representing the soul, spirit, and body of all things.
Details on two types of sulfur: volatile oils (essential oil) and fixed sulfur (plant extracts).
Creation of spirits through fermentation and distillation, yielding alcohol.
Explanation of incineration and calcination processes to obtain salt, primarily potassium carbonate.
The final spagyric tincture is a blend of the essential oil complex, plant extracts, and potassium carbonate, resulting in unique chemical reactions.
Comparison of herbal and spagyric tinctures, with spagyric tinctures being more potent and efficient.
Spagyric Tinctures: Potency and Application
Spagyric tinctures utilize the entire plant, ensuring no waste.
These tinctures are enriched with esters and phytochemicals not present in regular herbal tinctures.
Spagyric tinctures are more potent than herbal tinctures.
Due to their sublingual application, these tinctures have an extended presence in the bloodstream, lasting up to 24 hours, compared to the 2-3 hours of most herbal medicines.
The sublingual method allows for faster absorption directly into the bloodstream.
Discussion on Specific Herbs for Cancer and Dermatological Conditions
Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis):
Traditional herb used for cancers, especially when applied topically for skin cancers like melanoma.
Bloodroot is rich in sanguinarine, clethrin, and berberine, which possess anti-cancer properties.
Bloodroot spagyric tincture contains unique chemicals that haven't been named in modern chemistry.
The tincture, taken internally, can be beneficial against cancers like leukemia and those affecting bone marrow. However, it is essential to be cautious with the dosage to avoid toxicological risks.
Mistletoe (Viscum album):
European mistletoe, specifically from oak trees, is used.
Widely researched in Europe, mistletoe extracts have been deemed safe and effective against cancer. They're even used for IV and localized injections.
Chaparral
Chaparral grows in the American Southwest and is harvested in New Mexico.
Considered a potent antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal herb.
Historical use by natives for treating cancers and other conditions.
Contains NDGA, a chemical that inhibits the growth and spread of cancer cells.
Also rich in an antioxidant enzyme called SOD, potentially more than any other plant.
Mistletoe & Chaparral Formulation
The formulation contains three-quarters mistletoe and one-quarter chaparral.
Mistletoe is safe for all stages of cancer and post-cancer.
It also alleviates side effects of traditional treatments like chemo and radiation.
Effective on all types of cancer and sites in the body.
Codenopsis in Traditional Chinese Medicine
Known as Dangxun, sometimes referred to as a "poor man's ginseng."
Nourishes the blood and vital fluids.
Addresses blood deficiencies often seen in cancer cases from a TCM perspective.
Balances white and red blood cell levels and supports various organ functions.
Oregon Grape Properties
Used to stimulate healthy liver function.
Has antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties.
Effective against HHV4 (Epstein Barr virus) which is found with many cancers.
Contains berberine, a component that's aggressive against cancer and various infections.
Holy Basil
Grows in various regions, with its roots in traditional Indian medicine.
Recognized for its potent adaptogenic properties.
Aids in the management of both acute and chronic stress, reducing cortisone levels often linked to cancer cases.
Modulates neurotransmitter levels such as dopamine and norepinephrine, boosting the body's natural cancer resistance.
Rich in ursolic acid, a key antioxidant that impedes abnormal DNA replication and counters tumor growth.
Contains higher concentrations of ursolic acid than edible basil variants like Genovese basil.
Packed with minerals and phytonutrients that amplify the body's ability to fight against cancer.
Synergistic phytochemicals in the herb combat various cancers including colon, breast, lung, and more.
Offers relief from the side effects of radiation therapy.
Strongly recommended for both prevention and aiding the body in eliminating cancerous conditions.
Alchemy and Heart Health
Alchemical practices can aid in heart health.
Reading recommendation: "Human Heart, Cosmic Heart" by Dr. Tom Cowan which explains:
The heart vortexes blood, rather than pumps.
Veins and arteries act as hydrophilic tubes aiding in blood circulation.
Reduction of lactic acid in arteries can help with heart health.
Recommendation: Strophanthus spagyric tincture which will soon be available.
Omega fatty acids can help maintain healthy arteries by creating a greasy lining, aiding blood flow.
Alchemical oil of egg, which has been researched in Europe, can break up arterial deposits.
Prostate Health and Cancer
Prostate issues, including cancer, can be influenced by numerous factors.
The alignment of the Pluto astral body can impact sexual dysfunction.
Nutritional supplements that can help include saw palmetto berry, nettle root, tribulus, magnesium, and selenium.
Silica may also be beneficial.
Hemp has potential benefits for prostate health when consumed and used rectally.
Spagyric Tinctures and Their Effects
Spagyric tinctures start acting immediately upon entering the bloodstream.
Duration for noticeable effects can range from hours to months, depending on the condition and its progression.
Spagyric tinctures are not only physiologically beneficial but also have effects on spiritual, mental, emotional, etheric, and physical vitalities.
It's important for the environment where the tinctures are made to be free of negative energy.
Tinctures mature over time, becoming more potent, unlike regular herbal tinctures which degrade.
The potency of a spagyric tincture can improve over several years, especially if stored in the right conditions.
Storage and Longevity of Tinctures
Standard herbal tinctures, with about 40% alcohol, degrade in 1-2 years.
Spagyric tinctures mature over time and can become more potent.
The chemical composition of spagyric tinctures evolves and matures, similar to wine.
Using dark violet glass for storage can protect the tincture from harmful UV degradation.

Anti-Cancer Benefits of Meditation, Mindfulness and Manifesting | Emily Fletcher & Ryan Sternagel
01:02:40
full show notes @ https://thesternmethod.com/emily-fletcher
Emily Fletcher is a leading expert in meditation and mindfulness. She is the founder of Ziva Meditation, home of the Ziva Technique, and author of Stress Less, Accomplish More.
Ten years ago Emily Fletcher was a stressed out Broadway performer. She started going gray at 27, was sick often and suffered from insomnia.
In 2008, Emily was introduced to a powerful meditation practice that had a profound effect on her both physically and professionally. She felt inspired to share this secret with others. So she left Broadway for India to undertake three years of intense study and training. When she arrived back in the US she founded Ziva Mediation and has been helping thousands of people from all over the world improve their health and their lives ever since.
I’m super excited to introduce you to Emily Fletcher! Emily is the person who reinspired me to get back into mediation and to stop making excuses when it came to making time in my day for such an important practice.
During the show Emily explains her Ziva Technique which is a powerful combination of mindfulness, meditation and something called manifesting (she’ll explain it all). The benefits of Ziva include decreased stress, deeper sleep, improved immune function and increased performance.
No matter what your situation, the value that mediation can bring to our health, healing and wellbeing is enormous – so be sure to make some time to listen to this one.
You have a cancer story that’s close to your heart...
Dad diagnosed with liver cancer
Went to cancer centre in Tampa with positive mindset – we can fix this
Centre sent him home to die
Emily began researching nutrition to feed his body, not the cancer
Within 48 hours went from coma-like state to walking and talking
Quality of life significantly improved at the end. Got to say his goodbyes
Where do you stand on free will vs destiny?
Not mutually exclusive. Can’t control the hand we’re deal but can influence how we play it
One of the pillars of the Ziva Technique is manifesting
Getting clear about what you want to create in your life
Ziva draws on Ayurveda as a body of wisdom – is that right?
This type of mediation is a trifecta of mindfulness, meditation and manifesting
Ayurveda is the sister science
Understand the laws of nature to help you get to where you want to go
Helps you to be your own doctor
Getting body into balance
Ayurveda and Ziva Mediation promote a healing environment in the body
Cancer – acute vs chronic disease. How meditation helps
Cancer is an imbalance that needs to be balanced
We all have cancer cells but if the immune system working properly it can deal with them
If constantly in fight or flight mode your immune system is on the back burner
Stress – increases adrenaline and cortisol levels, body becomes more acidic, blood thickens, digestion slows, hormones and adrenals get out of balance, healing mechanisms shut down
If you need to heal you must treat stress very seriously
Mediation reduces stress and increases dopamine and serotonin
There is a huge amount of stress that comes with a cancer diagnosis.
What if there is no such thing as a stressful situation but only stressful responses to given situations?
Daily mediation helps to fill the tank with tools to deal with stressful situations more calmly
With a cancer diagnosis you still have to ‘perform’ while researching treatment options, fundraising and juggling doctors appointments with life etc
It’s not bad to get stressed. Problems arise when we stay stressed
Meditation helps you to recover
Stress comes from speculating – reviewing the past, predicting the future
When you’re meditating your body is performing stress relieving activities so you can do other things when you sleep
Meditation makes sleep more efficient
Insomnia happens when we use our sleep time to destress
Meditate once or twice a day for stress relief so when you go to bed you fall asleep faster and your sleep is more restorative
Get sick less frequently
Intuition increases, ruminating decreases
Productivity improves
How is the root cause of disease, cellular memory and emotional detox tied together?
Mindfulness is the art of bringing awareness into the present moment – good at dealing with stress of the ‘now’
Meditation is about healing stresses of the past – on a cellular and epigenetic level. Allows the body to heal properly – improves brain function, sleep, sex drive, intuition
What are your thoughts on using devices like headphones, music or special glasses to get into a meditative state faster?
All for cheating if it works
It’s important to be self sufficient, not tethered to electronics
We need to trust and train our bodies
External stimulation is not as powerful as internal stimulation
Mantras – mind vehicles not affirmations
Can you share some examples and stories from your students?
Fertility – lots of Ziva babies!
Helped reduce tremors in a student with Parkinson’s disease by increasing dopamine production
Meditation doesn’t cure cancer. It helps patients though the challenges and sets the immune system up to do its job if it has the ability to do so
Some last words
Often hear “I can’t clear my mind. I can’t mediate”. The mind thinks involuntarily. You can’t tell your mind to be quite, it’s a skill that must be learnt
Working on ZivaKIDS for 2020
Our bodies know how to heal. We just need to stop eating foods that aren’t food, looking at light that isn’t light, using soil that isn’t soil…

037: Draw Your Sword to Fight Cancer: Pedram Shojai
00:55:10
Pedram Shojai opens season two of My Kid Cures Cancer with a deep interview on becoming the person you need to be to embrace life and reverse cancer.
In This Episode:
Pedram talks about the concept of time as the currency of life. How going through cancer is an opportunity to rearrange your priorities to use currency in a way that truly serves you.
Managing to accomplish everything that needs to get done when actually dealing with the diagnosis from both a mindset and perception standpoint and a practical implementation standpoint.
Pedram explained the two choices you have with a cancer diagnosis are to either fear death or embrace life and if you do choose the latter, how to get the most out of it in a way most likely to lead to a successful cancer journey.
And we even managed to fit in how to not only avoid most things in the world that will bring you harm but even how to change those things..
Highlight article, video interview & how this information applies to childhood cancer:

035: The Anticancer Power of Food: KC Craichy
00:55:52
KC Craichy explains exactly just how it is that food can stop cancer!
In This Episode:
Four primary processes in cancer to be dealt with and how foods can play a role in halting each.
KC’s seven golden keys to health which play a huge role in preventing and reversing every disease imaginable.
Many ways that cancer can be thought of as a lifestyle problem not a cancer problem.
Sugar and Cancer: both KC’s thoughts on whole food sugars from fruit and a really good explanation of things like glycemic load and response which can serve as tools to help evaluate these things a little more than just asking whether or not any food with sugar is a bad thing.
A very interesting story about the sugar industry being aware of their link to cancer and the shenanigans they’ve been pulling for a long time to keep the public unaware of it.
KC’s four corners of superfood nutrition to give us an idea of exactly how we can start achieving these things in our own health journeys.

007: Find Cancer before Your Doctor Can... And after He Says It's Gone: Jenny Hrbacek, RN
01:09:10
Jenny Hrbacek, RN is an expert in early cancer detection and long term monitoring. Jenny tells us about some of her favorite tests that allow cancer detection far in advance of when it would be conventional methods would be able to find it, when reversing it is usually as simple as diet and lifestyle change without having to go to any extreme measures. These same tests also give us a baseline to work from when we know we have cancer to monitor our progress much more precisely than MRIs, and can tell us if we still have more work to do even if conventional medicine has pronounced us “cured.” Jenny also talks about some of these tests’ ability to give us specific information regarding the weaknesses of the actual cancer cells we’re healing. All of these tests are detailed in Jenny’s book, Cancer Free! Are You Sure? as well as in her new online cancer course series Cancer Free University along with detailed information on natural treatments and prevention strategies.
In This Episode:
Jenny Hrbacek talks about her own experience with cancer and the conventional route of chemotherapy and radical surgeries, getting told she was cancer free, having a bad feeling, finding out about more precise tests and soon after that cancer was in fact alive and well in her body.
Some of the best tests that are detailed in her book “Cancer Free! Are You Sure” for detecting cancer far before conventional oncology can find it and also tracking it far after they think it’s gone.
What you can do with the information some of these tests provide to customize your protocol to what’s actually going to work the best for you or your child.
Which of these tests might be covered by your insurance, but even if they’re not why having this information is more crucial today than it ever has been.
Jenny’s new online cancer course series Cancer Free University where she gives you an expert interview on just about any subject you could ask for in integrative cancer treatment at your fingertips…. Including an interview with Ryan on making all of this work for childhood cancer!
Jenny Hrbacek, Author, set out on a life changing journey when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009. Today, she has launched a national campaign to change the way cancer is detected. She hosts “The Cancer Free University” on www.CancerFreeAreYouSure.com. She appears in Ty Bollinger’s 2015 “The Truth about Cancer – A Global Quest” documentary series, the “Cancer Answers Global Summit,” and is a featured contributor to Doug Kaufmann’s TV show, “Know the Cause” and a frequent guest on The Tony O'Donnell Show.
She is the author of Cancer Free! Are you SURE? The book is a result of several years of expert research. It is the road map for how to detect cancer years before it is typically picked up by standard screening tests such as a mammogram, PSA count, or PET scan. By the time a lump or bump is discovered, the cancer has most likely been growing for 7-10 years. She tells you where to get these tests, what they look for, what they cost, and how accurate they are

049: Cancer in Germany vs. America
00:58:57
Kirstin Nussgruber Discusses:
Her experience going through cancer once in Germany and once in America
Change from within, where the cancer came from
Keeping feelings and emotions together during treatment
After being diagnosed with breast cancer twice within 3 years, Kirstin learnt firsthand the importance of an integrative and functional medicine approach to one’s health, acknowledging the dynamic interdependency of body, mind and soul to facilitate true healing. Kirstin offers individualized 1 on 1 mentoring, can be hired for inspirational speaking engagements and produces interactive virtual programs such as the Beyond Cancer Program.
if you’ve ever thought that Sternagel is a very German sounding last name, well it’s because it is it means star and nail which I’ve always thought is pretty cool and will make for a really cool family crest or something some day but the other reason is that it actually has to do with one of the primary topics of the interview.
Kirstin is incredibly well versed in a balanced approach to cancer because she’s gone through it twice, one time in Germany and once in America so it was really interesting talking about the differences in what it’s like to go through cancer in each country and in particular there were a few great insights for those of us going through it in the good ol’ USA.
We also talked about changing from within as the cancer came from within and please devote an inordinate amount of time to this topic if you are going through cancer and on a related note how to keep it together while going through active treatment.

013: Essential Oils That Fight Cancer & Biblical Health: Dr. Eric Zielinski
01:02:56
Dr. Eric Zielinski stops by to give us an important reminder. Throughout all the sometimes quite heated debates on the “best” way to heal cancer, be it on the right metabolic approach, dietary approach, particular set of supplements and so on, when is the last time we brought God into the matter? How often do we consult The Big Guy and ask what He would have us do?
In this Episode:
Use a biblical lens to make health decisions
Supplementation may not be all it’s cracked up to be
Live organic, save money
Essential oils and what they are, where they come from, how they work and how we use them
Relief essential oils have shown to provide from side effects of conventional cancer treatment
Dr. Eric Zielinski has been on a mission to helping people enjoy the abundant life for nearly 15 years. Formally trained as a chiropractor and public health researcher, Dr. Z (as he is commonly known) launched his online health ministry with DrEricZ.com June 2014. Visited by more than 2 million people, it has become the #1 top-ranked, fasted growing website devoted to Biblical Health on the Internet!
Specializing in the therapeutic use of essential oils, more than 300,000 people have since joined one of three email newsletters (Essential Oils Digest, Biblical Health News and his wife’s Mama Z’s DIY Tips) to learn how to use natural therapies safely and effectively.
Dr. Z is an accomplished researcher with several publications, conference proceedings and currently sits as peer-reviewer for multiple journals. He lives in Atlanta with his wife and four children.
Dr. Michelle Niesley, a naturopathic doctor with extensive experience in oncology, emphasizes the importance of integrative care for cancer survivors, especially children. In this insightful interview, she shares her expertise on how strategic supplementation during and after treatment can safeguard patients' health.
Dr. Niesley discusses the significance of genomic testing in detecting long-term health risks and the thoughtful use of diet and supplements to support the immune system during chemotherapy. She also touches on the specific needs of high-risk neuroblastoma patients, advocating for a tailored approach that includes dietary modifications and innovative integrative support techniques.
Her collaborative approach to care, coupled with a deep dive into the potential of polyamine restriction and the benefits of compounds like genistein, showcases her commitment to enhancing survivorship and quality of life.
This comprehensive interview is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the nuances of naturopathic oncology care and the potential for personalized treatment strategies in improving outcomes.

Pancreatic & Protelytic Enzymes, Metabolic Typing & Coffee Enemas | Mary Swander, Author: The Maverick M.D.: Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez & Ryan Sternagel
01:20:02
Show notes at https://thesternmethod.com/mary-swander
Mary Swander is an award-winning American author, dramatist, performer, speaker, and teacher. She is the former Poet Laureate of Iowa and a professor emerita Distinguished Professor of Iowa State University.
Mary is the Artistic Director ofSwander Woman Productions, a theatre troupe that performs dramas about food, farming, and the wider rural environment. She is also the Executive Director ofAgArts, a nonprofit designed to imagine and promote healthy food systems through the arts. Her latest book isThe Maverick M.D.: Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez and His Fight for a New Treatment for Cancer(New Spring Press).
The Maverick M.D.is the story of how Dr. Nick Gonzalez perfected the scientific theory behind Dr. William Kelley's work and put the protocol into practice in New York City. Gonzalez drew courage from his Christian faith, from Mexican-Italian-American family, and from key loved ones, colleagues and mentors.
He spent years treating patients with the most serious conditions--from cancer to diabetes to lupus. But he wasn't satisfied as an outlier in the medical community. He wanted his work put to the test with a clinical trial.
This book portrays a man who fought for the acceptance of a nutritional cancer treatment in the halls of some of the most established U.S. medical institutions. Against intense opposition, Nick Gonzalez's determination held up until the end--a scientist who developed a therapy that saves lives and promotes the healing of the human mind, body and spirit.
Ryan takes a candid look at Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez’s life and “the man behind the suit” in the discussion with his biographer, Mary Swander. You’ll learn about why Ryan thinks so highly of Dr. Gonzalez, his life and personality, the Gonzalez Protocol and the results it produced. Ryan and Mary delve into Dr. Gonzalez’s attempts to take his enzyme therapy protocol to clinical trials in the conventional medical arena. They also discuss Mary’s experience as a patient of Dr. Gonzalez for over 20 years. You’ll gain insight into the brilliant mind of Dr. Gonzalez, his spiritual life, his concept of balance, and his mysterious death. And speaking of brilliant minds...at the end, you’ll be treated to a special creation by Ryan’s son, Ryder!

Pancreatic enzymes go back to the end of the 19th century with a biologist (embryologist) named John Beard, DSc in Scotland
Beard studied placental growth and embryonic development and theorized pancreatic enzymes might control tumor growth in the same way they control the growth of the placenta
At the turn of the 20th century, pancreatic enzymes were being used with modest success
Beard was forgotten about after Marie Curie’s discovery of radiation
Dr. Gonzalez’s enzymes are still in production throughNutriCology

Nestle funded a study by Dr. Gonzalez and Dr. Linda L. Isaacs on pancreatic cancer and enzymes published in medical literature
Encouraged by doctors at the NIH to do a clinical trial
Trial took place at Columbia University over course of 10 years
Dr. Gonzalez wrote a book calledWhat Went Wrong because so many procedures weren’t followed
In the end, researchers at Columbia published a paper which said the protocol didn’t work
Success of the protocol often depends on the compliance of the patient
Dr. Gonzalez didn’t cure everyone who walked through his doors

006: Cancer as a Metabolic Disease - What You Need to Know: Professor Thomas Seyfried
01:24:41
Have you heard about the metabolic theory of cancer but still need some clarification on exactly what it is and what it means for your path to wellness and healing cancer? If so you are most certainly in the right place as today on the show we have the scientist, professor and dare I say Godfather of the modern day understanding of cancer as a metabolic disease who has revived this simple truth first laid out in the middle of the last century.
In This Episode:
Professor Seyfried explains how there is no consistency in genetic mutations across cancer types or even much across individual cancers but the one hallmark trait that ALL cancer cells share is that they ferment glucose and glutamine to produce energy and why this is so important to our understanding of cancer.
How genetic mutations and negative epigenetic changes in gene expression like oncogenes turning on and tumor suppressor genes turning off are not the main drivers of cancer but really the byproducts of damaged cellular respiration along with defective mitochondria, and the many experiments and studies Professor Seyfried has gathered that have been done over the years to prove this.
From an implementation perspective Dr. Seyfried got into how lowering blood glucose and raising ketones along with other metabolic therapies will kill many cancer cells outright and leave the rest much more vulnerable to other therapies and how one would get started on this approach through fasting and the ketogenic diet.
Professor Seyfried also explained two terms that every cancer patient and preventer alike need to know, autophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis which are the cleaning out of defective mitochondria and the growth of new healthy mitochondrial populations.
This is absolutely foundational stuff that you really need to have a firm grasp on if you’re serious about having all of your bases covered in the healing process! Or in prevention for that matter!!
Dr. Thomas Seyfried PhD is professor of biology at Boston College in Massachusetts and published a groundbreaking treatise entitled, Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer in 2012. The treatise provides extensive information showing that cancer can be best defined as a mitochondrial metabolic disease rather than as a genetic disease. This new concept has implications for the development of new non-toxic cancer therapies including the ketogenic diet. Experts in the cancer research field have praised this comprehensive study as one of science's hottest topics. Dr. Seyfried has been a featured speaker at numerous scientific symposia and conferences relating to cancer, including the 2nd Annual Ancestral Health Symposium, The Educational Session Lecture, and American Association Cancer Research.

041: Biohacking Cancer, Deuterium, Structured Water, How EMFs Cause Cancer, How Would Ben Greenfield Reverse Cancer with Ben Greenfield
01:03:57
Ben Greenfield of BenGreenfieldFitness.com discusses:
EXACTLY how non-native electromagnetic fields (WiFi and cell phones) cause cancer.
What would Ben Greenfield do to reverse cancer?
Deuterium isotope linked to cancer showing up at higher levels in food.
Drinking deuterium depleted water (light water).
Home air purification.
Building biologist consultation to ensure your home is a healthy home (not a harmful home…)
Ben Greenfield is a biohacker, human body and brain performance coach, ex-bodybuilder, Ironman triathlete, professional Spartan athlete, anti-aging consultant, speaker and author of the New York Times Bestseller “Beyond Training: Mastering Endurance, Health and Life.” In 2013 and 2014 he was named by Greatist as one of the top 100 Most Influential People In Health And Fitness, and Ben's articles, podcast and videos reach over a million unique views each month.
With nearly two decades of experience working as a strength and conditioning coach, exercise physiologist and biomechanist, Ben is also the man responsible for maximizing performance, recovery, fat loss, digestion, brain, sleep and hormone optimization for CEO’s, ultra-endurance competitors, and a wide variety of professional athletes, including poker champions, tennis players, motocross competitors, the NFL, the NHL, the UFC and beyond. Using his vast knowledge of science and research, in-the-trenches experience, and unique set of cutting-edge brain and body biohacking techniques, Ben cuts through the clutter, confusion and snake oil and instead delivers total human optimization in the fastest, cleanest and safest way possible.
And this was a very, very cool interview for me to get to do. Teddy and I have looked up to Ben for such a long time it was surreal to actually get to pick his brain. And this certainly isn’t the first time I’ve made a statement similar to this about a guest we’ve interviewed on the show but it’s usually referring to someone we started getting information from AFTER Ryder was diagnosed whereas Ben was one of the first people we started getting health and fitness information from period.
I started following him originally for better triathlon performance but as you’ll see in this interview if you’re not already familiar with him the type of information he covers goes far beyond training into all aspects of how the body is ideally supposed to function and the mind and soul for that matter and this very quickly bleeds into disease prevention and reversal and really through following him again originally just to trying to get a little faster marathon and triathlon times that I’d say more than anything else really turned my mind onto what’s possible with the human body so when my own son was diagnosed with cancer not too long thereafter we were able to hit the ground running in our research.

Reversing Stage 4 Melanoma, Skin Cancer, Macrobiotic Diet | James Templeton & Ryan Sternagel
01:16:03
Full show notes @ https://thesternmethod.com/james-templeton
James Templeton, a 5th generation Texan and the last in a line of true blue cowboys credits his ancestors for his fighting spirit – something he had to call on in a battle for his life against Stage 4 Melanoma.
After receiving a terminal diagnosis in his early 30’s he has now been cancer free for over 30 years thanks to alternative medicine, diet and other healing modalities.
James went on to found Uni Key Health Systems and the Templeton Wellness Foundation as a way of giving back and helping others achieve health and wellness. His book, I Used to Have Cancer chronicles his inspiring journey back to health.
Conventional medicine was all James Templeton knew before cancer came knocking on his door. In this very personal episode James shares his journey with me. How he went from the depths of despair to hope and then health, thanks to the love and support of others and his alternative approach to healing.
In a time before Dr Google and Facebook Groups, James found the courage to forge his own healing path. We touch on three healing modalities James employed – a macrobiotic diet, high dose vitamin C and parasite cleansing; as well as the importance of positivity and mindset. So settle in and prepare to be inspired by James’ amazing story.
Where you naturally or holistically inclined before diagnosis
Not at all. No health problems
If sick went to conventional doctor
What were the signs you were sick
Life was good, young family, successful businesses, fit and healthy
Experienced a lot of death in his family. Kept fit to avoid heart disease
Went for check up for heart and doctor told him to get a mole on his back checked
Saw dermatologist who suspected melanoma
Biopsy results confirmed Stage 4 melanoma. He was 32 years old
Started regular check ups with Oncologist
Became depressed and anxious. Marriage broke up
Found lump in groin. Cancer had spread to lymphatic system
Oncologist recommended 80 treatments of experimental chemotherapy that involved typhoid serum to raise his temperature before administering IV chemo
All lymph nodes removed from leg
Given 20% chance of surviving 3-5 years
Felt hopeless. A Minister from his Church gave him a pep talk that changed his mindset

005: 7 Essential Steps to Beating Cancer Naturally & Breast Cancer Myths BUSTED: Dr. Veronique Desaulniers
01:14:05
Dr. Veronique Desaulniers, or Dr. V as we know and love her, lays out the core principles of her Seven Essentials System, we get her take on a plethora of widely contested issues within the world of natural health and cancer healing, and she sets the record straight on the most prevalent misconceptions in breast cancer.
In This Episode:
Breast cancer myths exposed - Do human hormones, specifically estrogen, cause cancer? Do plant estrogens such as those in soy contribute to cancer? Is the BRCA gene really something to be feared? Does your oncologist really have enough information to pronounce you cured?
“Let Food Be Your Medicine” – Dr. V’s take on natural sugar intake during the healing process, dairy, and individual diet customization based on DNA and blood type.
“Reduce Your Toxic Exposure” – Why addressing fungal and viral infections are vital in managing cancer.
“Balance Your Energy” – Practical steps to take to make sure you’re energetically aligned.
“Heal Your Emotional Wounds” – Psychoneuroimmunology and how your thoughts produce measurable chemical reactions within your body for better or worse.
“Embrace Biological Dentistry” – What is biological dentistry and what practices to look for in good biological dentists
“Repair Your Body with Therapeutic Plants” – The ins and outs of incorporating bloodroot into a healing strategy and customizing individualized protocols with the latest technology
“Adopt Very Early Detection” – Dr. V’s favorite screening tests
Dr. Veronique Desaulniers (Dr. V!) graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1979 from Life Chiropractic College as a Doctor of Chiropractic and thereafter became certified in many post graduate protocols. She’s also undertaken extensive studies in the various fields of “Energy Medicine” and have specialized in Bio-Energetics, Meridian Stress Analysis, Homeopathy, Naturopathy, Digital Thermography, EFT and Chiropractic. She has a very unique approach to wellness which is why she attracted people from all over North America and even Europe and Africa to her practice, but most importantly, and why I’m so excited to have her on the show today, she’s a woman who has faced the diagnosis of breast cancer herself and emerged victorious.

Biological Cancer Diagnostics, NLP Therapy, Lymphatic Health: Dr. Sharon Stills & Ryan Sternagel
01:02:03
In an enlightening interview with Dr. Sharon Stills, insights into advanced cancer diagnostics and holistic treatment approaches are revealed, emphasizing the critical balance between the body's physical and emotional health.
Dr. Stills shares her journey from pediatrics to becoming a recognized cancer specialist, highlighting the use of innovative European biological medicine and the Kelly protocol in her practice.
She delves into the importance of the lymphatic system in cancer progression and the connections between dental health and systemic diseases.
Dr. Stills also underscores the power of managing the autonomic nervous system and advocates for emotional therapies like family constellation therapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to address deep-seated emotional patterns. Central to her approach is the concept of mindfulness and its role in cancer healing, urging patients to integrate these practices irrespective of their conventional or holistic treatment path.
This interview offers a compelling look at Dr. Stills’ integrative and empathetic approach to cancer care, which could transform the healing journey for many. Discover the full spectrum of Dr. Stills' expertise and gain a deeper understanding of how embracing our emotions can be pivotal in the fight against cancer.
Introduction to Dr. Stills: Dr. Sharon Stills was invited to discuss advanced diagnostic techniques, particularly for the lymphatic system.
Dr. Stills’ Background: Initially focused on pediatrics and psychiatric care, Dr. Stills never treated cancer patients during medical school.
Pivotal Patient Encounter: Her career path changed when the seventh patient at her new clinic sought help for pancreatic cancer, leading her to apply naturopathic principles for treatment.
The Kelly Protocol: Dr. Stills used high-dose pancreatic enzymes as part of the Kelly protocol, which contributed to her patient's recovery from cancer.
Reputation Growth: Success with her first cancer patient, who later died from unrelated heart issues, and another with stomach cancer led to her recognition as a cancer specialist in various communities.
Philosophy of Practice: Dr. Stills believes the patients she encounters are meant for her to treat, emphasizing hope and adaptability in her practice.
European Biological Medicine Diagnostics
Regulation Focus: European biological medicine, as explained by Dr. Stills, prioritizes understanding the body’s regulation mechanisms, particularly the nervous system and organ regulation.
The Extracellular Matrix: Dr. Stills underscores the importance of the extracellular matrix in cellular health, toxin removal, and nutrient delivery.
Whole-System Approach: Emphasizes the need to consider factors like lymphatic flow, pH balance, hormonal and mineral balance, as well as emotional and stress levels when treating patients.
Germ vs. Terrain Theory: Dr. Stills refers to the historical debate between germ theory and the significance of the body's internal environment, advocating for a balanced extracellular matrix to prevent disease.
Diagnostic Tools: She utilizes Computerized Regulation Thermography (CRT) to assess the regulation of all body organs, relying on documented disease signature patterns for diagnosis without invasive techniques.
Advanced Diagnostics and Cancer Focus
Regulation and Preemptive Diagnostics: Dr. Stills uses diagnostics to evaluate organ regulation, identifying issues before they manifest in blood tests or scans.
Lymphatic System Screening: Unique diagnostic tests for breast and prostate cancer are employed, focusing on the entire body’s involvement and specifically measuring lymphatic health.
Lymphatic Health and Cancer
Lymphatic Congestion and Disease: Dr. Stills emphasizes the importance of lymphatic health in cancer, mentioning that congestion in the lymph system is a common issue seen in patients.
Treatment Approaches: Various treatments such as lymphatic drainage remedies, castor oil packs, dry skin brushing, and targeted devices like a light beam generator or lymph star machine are used to address lymphatic congestion.
Dental Health Connection to Disease
Teeth and Systemic Health: Dr. Stills highlights the correlation between dental health, specifically root canals and mercury fillings, and systemic diseases including cancer.
Biological Dentistry: The need for working with a biological dentist to address issues like amalgam removal and root canal alternatives is stressed for overall health and cancer prevention.
Autonomic Nervous System and Cancer
Sympathetic vs. Parasympathetic: Dr. Stills discusses the balance between the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous systems.
Impact on Cancer: Patients with cancer often have an overactivated sympathetic nervous system, which suppresses the body’s natural cancer-fighting cells.
Stress and Disease: Stress is considered a significant factor in disease development, with stress hormones affecting DNA repair and immune function.
Mindfulness and Healing
Mindfulness Practice: Emphasizes the role of mindfulness and meditation in reducing stress hormones, thereby allowing the immune system to function more effectively against cancer.
Emotional Processing: Stills argues that properly processing emotions rather than suppressing them is crucial in cancer prevention and recovery, drawing on the connection between emotional suppression and increased cancer risk.
The Role of Emotions in Cancer
Cancer and Suppressed Emotions: The ‘cancer personality’ often includes individuals who suppress their emotions, which can lead to somatization and disease manifestation.
Organ-Emotion Correlation: Dr. Stills references traditional Chinese medicine, which correlates specific emotions with certain organs (e.g., liver with anger, lungs with grief, kidneys with fear).
Embracing Emotions: Advises that acknowledging and experiencing emotions is therapeutic, as repressed emotions can contribute to illness.
Life Themes and Disease
Cancer as a Message: Cancer and other diseases often carry messages or themes related to life experiences or emotional issues.
Breast Cancer Themes: Associates left-sided breast cancer with maternal issues and the right side with betrayal by a male or fatherly expectations.
Organ-Specific Themes: Suggests that each type of cancer might reflect deeper issues related to legacy, family, partnership, or the inability to let go of past grievances.
Emotional Therapies and Cancer Healing
Family Constellation Therapy: Dr. Stills advocates for family constellation therapy, a group process to work through familial emotional issues, guided by a trained facilitator.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP): Recommends NLP to access and reprogram the subconscious mind, addressing deep-seated emotional patterns and negative thinking.
Somatic Body Work: Suggests somatic bodywork to release emotional issues stored in the body and muscles, including dialoguing with pain through writing exercises.
Mindfulness in Conventional Cancer Treatment
Integration with Conventional Treatments: Mindfulness and emotional work are emphasized as complementary to conventional cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation.
Decision-Making Empowerment: Stresses the importance of feeling confident and at peace with the chosen treatment path, whether it is holistic or conventional.

In This Episode:
This is only the second product-focused podcast in the Anti-Cancer Revolution Series which says a lot about how highly Ryan ratesPoly-MVA, a unique Lipoic Acid Mineral Complex that is designed to provide energy for compromised body systems.
In this episode Ryan and Al put the spotlight on mitochondria, the critical role they play in helping the body heal itself, and why it’s so important that we support them. They take a deep dive into cell metabolism, oxygenation and inflammation and uncover how, in the right environment, these factors can turn a healthy cell into a cancer cell.
So tune in and discover for yourself what it is about Poly-MVA that makes it so well regarded by Ryan and many naturopathic doctors.
You represent a product, you're not a doctor
CEO of Armac enterprises
We have seen each other at numerous conferences. If I recall one of them you were giving yourself IV PolyMVA...
I practice what I preach!
I live an anti-cancer life. It's easier to prevent than to treat or cure
Mother passed away from cancer at 36, sister at 40 – it's in my epigenetics
What got your Dad into making this product?
His mother died in 1972. She went the conventional treatment route. Al’s father looked at different options but very short window, didn't have 'time' to implement alternative treatments
Father moved to San Diago and met people in the integrative world
Al’s sister Tina passed away and this was the driver for Al to begin working with his father and Poly-MVA
When I've heard you speak you focus on not just your product, but on helping people really understand what's going on
Driven by desire to help and empower people
How metabolism and mitochondria play a role
Used to a system where you do as a the Doctor says
With cancer your options are chemo, surgery or radiation. If that doesn't work, you die
Common sense tells you there has to be more than that
Al's goal is to be a 'bridge builder' between conventional and naturopathic sides of medicine
Tell us about the concept of metabolic medicine and how it ties into mitochondria and cancer
With the flu you rest, take supplements, the immune system kicks in, body repairs itself, you're okay
Cancer is a whole different scenario but the approach is the same – fatigue, body is trying to fight it
By not supporting mitocondria we're not helping the body heal itself
Is the concept about giving the immune system more energy to do its job?
Yes, in its simplest terms
Rest is how our body restores itself
Metabolic protocols target the metabolism.
Metabolism needs to be at its highest level so the immune system, liver, kidneys etc can draw down on it for energy
What specifically are we talking about with cellular metabolism and mitochondria?
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of our cells. They provide the energy for them to function properly – repair, heal etc
Trillions of mitochondria are required in our bodies just to keep us going
Mitochondria have their own DNA
When you have cancer your mitochondria become dysfunctional and they start utilizing sugar differently to healthy cells
It’s more complex than simply avoiding sugar
1/3 of calories go to the brain, 1/3 to processing/digesting, 1/3 is left for the rest of the body
Diet is critical for cancer patients in terms of how their body is able to fight cancer
Eat a low carb, high fibre, balanced amount of protein
The more natural the better
What's your take on cancer being a metabolic disease vs epigenetics?
It's both, there's a synergy
Epigentics and environment play a role, your genes play a role
What's the difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration in terms of cancer cells using oxygen or not?
Cancer cells need a little oxygen but not in the same way normal cells do
Oxygenation is is the key differentiator between anaerobic (very low oxygen) and aerobic (oxygen)
Why is oxygen harmful to a cancer cell?
It creates a better environment in the body for healthy cells
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) and Thiamine are cofactors of mitochondria energy production in the KREB Cycle
This cycle is where energy gets created, oxygenation takes place, sugar gets broken down and ATP gets produced
It's about producing energy but also transporting and utilizing that energy to do what needs to get done
Combining ALA and Thiamine creates a mechanism to support this pathway
So Poly-MVA supports energy production and transportation in a healthy cell while simultaneously impeding it in a cancer cell?
Not necessarily impeding a cancer cell
Apoptosis is cell death. A cancer cell has lost the programming to invoke apoptosis
However a cancer cell could receive a signal for apoptosis
If you start shuttling electrons or creating energy inside the mitochondria of a dysfunctional cellI it is possible to shut it down or restore proper metabolic function
ALA and Thiamine are cofactors in this approach, as well as oxygenation of the tissue
One of the main selling points of red light therapy is that it supports mitocondria. So people say a cancer patient doesn't want to stimulate mitochondria as you stimulate the cancer cell mitochondria?
Light therapies in general are photodynamic therapies
In its simplest form - plants need sunlight to grow
Cancer cells are undergoing glycolysis. They are no longer functioning metabolically as a normal cell
If you're aerobic, using oxygen, red light will stimulate
Cancer cells are survivors and adaptable
How does high intensity interval training help mitochondria? Are you getting the same benefits as a shot of Poly-MVA?
Exercising provides mitochondria, cells, tissues etc with everything they need to be efficient
Wouldn't recommend this to cancer patient as immune system is so low
Light exercise is beneficial. The more you engage the mitochondria the more you engage your metabolism
There are different state of metabolism when healthy
Metabolism provides energy
Bodies become less efficient when we age. Exercise improves efficiency
Poly-MVA also helps with the side effects of conventional treatment. Is that correct?
Right. It helps your metabolism and keep your mitochondria healthy
InPoly-MVAthe ALA is bound together with the thiamine to create the redox molecule
Up regulates and protects the cell and supports mitocondria
Many naturopathic oncologists Ryan has spoken to recommendPoly-MVAto their cancer patients
What's the difference between oral consumption and IV in terms of benefits?
IV goes straight into the bloodstream. bypassing digestive system so tissues get higher concentration
IV helps advanced patients who need a lot of initial support
What are the dosing guidelines for IV Poly-MVA
Dosage is dependant on the physician's protocol and what is needed

043 Staying Effective During Crisis, Warrior Mom on Saving Her Son, The Self-Care Caregiver, & The Miracle Mindset: JJ Virgin
00:50:44
JJ Virgin talks about:
How she brought her son back from a point two five percent chance of living at all with even less of a chance of walking or adequate mental function to living a full and happy life today.
How she stayed operating at 110% day in and day out for months on end to get her son the care he needed.
The most selfless thing you can do in the role of a caregiver is to take care of yourself first. Bold statement but I’m quite sure you’re going to like the explanation.
All the mantras, tactics and mindset practices that JJ had already incorporated going into the ordeal that allowed her to hit the ground running.
Tapping and the tapping solution. A very simple and easy to do practice that so many people in the health world swear by to get yourself right in the head in a hurry.
Asking for help and building your team around you in the midst of a crisis.
This was a really, really meaningful interview for me to get to record. Most of you know the story by now that Teddy and I were getting really into health and fitness for a good period of time before Ryder was diagnosed so we were able to hit the ground running from a research perspective but mostly because of JJ and only JJ also from mindset perspective. We’d heard an interview with her early on talking about the traumatic brain injury her son sustained that all the doctors told her he had little to no chance of living through and the mindset she kept going through it to stay operating at a hundred ten percent for her son and it resonated so much with us we started following her because of it and not long after that Ryder was diagnosed and we did go into that thing guns blazing much more so than if she had never put that spark in our minds. So yea, very meaningful for us. 😊

***
This topic definitely falls firmly into the energetic side of the healing spectrum. If you are skeptical or doubtful of such things, I would refer you to everyone’s favorite Nikola Tesla quote, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”
In This Episode:
The power of frequencies
In this episode, Ryan catches up with songwriter and producer Michael Tyrrell to discuss the healing power of frequencies and music, and why most music we listen to today is delivered at the wrong frequency.
Frequencies are everywhere
Every time you speak your voice box vibrates and creates a frequency. When you form words your tongue vibrates and that's a frequency too. Music creates frequencies and some fo these frequencies have the power to heal.
Not all frequencies are healing
A musician all his life, Michael knew from an early age that there was something wrong with music. Frequencies are measured using unit of measurement called Hertz (Hz).
Michael wanted to know why tuners calibrated at a specific frequency (440 Hz). “Who says this is how you must tune your instrument?” Micheal discovered through traveling the world that not everyone tunes to the same note.
Micheal wanted to know where the standardized A=440 Hz frequency came from. What he discovered shocked him. This frequency has an attachment to Nazi Germany and mind control, and is a frequency that can disrupt the circadian rhythm of the human body.
Micheal’s story
Fate or God brought Michael to a coffee house in Tel Aviv, Israel where he met a pianist called David who told Michael that when he woke up that morning God had told him he was to give his life’s work away today.
David spent his life studying and decoding the ancient psalms of King David – ancient Hebraic forms of music. He gave these manuscripts to Michael in a backpack. Michael got home and played some of the music but his guitar was still tuned to 440 Hz. He put the music in his study and forgot about it for two years.
Michael came home one day with the number 222 in his head. He reached for his Bible wondering what he’d find on page 222. Sure enough he found reference to Kind David. He instinctively knew to double the number 222. 444 is a derivative of A but 4 cents higher. Michael calibrated his guitar to 444 Hz, pulled out the manuscripts from David and started playing. His hairs stood on end - he could feel the music.
Healing frequencies
Michael explains that 444 Hz is a balanced frequency. Instruments become more stable and stay in tune longer at that frequency.
Michael has discovered 7 frequencies that have been used to heal and protect since ancient times. He has created a compilation of music using these healing frequencies called Wholetones®: The Healing Frequency Music Project.
The power of the spoken word
Ryan and Teddy have been working with an energy healer who told them that Ryder had “a summer heat” trapped inside his body. For the next two nights Ryder woke up drenched in sweat as the heat was worked out of him.
Ryan explains that ancient writers associated the constellation Cancer with ‘a summer heat’.
Michael explains that words in descriptive and energetic forms have the ability to bless or curse. Michael encourages people to speak life to each other. If we can get out of the ‘them versus us’ mentality we can change the world.
Michael reminds us about the law of vibration and that the beginning of the universe was spoken “Let there be light”. “Frequencies were introduced into the world by the mouth of God.”
The importance of higher vibration
Michael believes that cancer is a disease of the environment. “We are being bombarded by negative frequencies such as EMFs”. Michael focuses on creating energetic environments of peace and sleep, that are conducive to healing and help people to relax and smile. He wants to help people into a space of homeostasis and spontaneous healing.
Michal explains higher vibration is better than lower vibration. “Negative people are low vibration. When you’re a high performing person frequency wise you operate with a lot of love.”
Micheal recommends making sure the frequencies you use are congruent and balanced, can interact with each other and can elicit healing.
There are specific frequencies that are useful for different parts of the human body and some frequencies that are too close to one another can mask each other.
Other experts and resources
Michael believes frequencies can affect your body on a cellular level. Ryan references Biology of Belief by Dr Bruce Lipton which discusses how thoughts can change blood chemistry, epigenetics etc.
Michael talks about Nicola Tesla and his studies on frequency. He created the Pico-Tesla frequency. Tesla believed that by vibrating parts of the body with low amplitude frequency he could bring spontaneous healing.
Michael cites another example, Dr Jerry Jacobson and his Magnasphere, a frequency arch that works on Pico-Tesla frequencies. Michael explains that he healed himself of Laryngitis after 15-20 minutes in the Magnasphere.
Michael has written a book called The Sound of Healing to help people unlock their potential.
The best way to listen to frequencies
Ryan asks Michael the best way to listen to frequencies. Michael explains that the problem is truncation or compression. “When you digitize anything you’re converting wave form into numbers”. So the best way to experience frequencies is in analog. Michael records Wholetones in analog. However he goes on to say that MP3s are better than nothing. The Wholetones samples on Michael’s website are MP3s.
Ryan asks Michael about different instruments. Micheal explains the frequencies are all the same it’s just a different modality - humming, crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls etc. It doesn’t matter about the instrument - just as long as it’s a balanced, healing frequency.
Michael encourages a proactive approach to health “don’t wait until sickness arrives before making changes”.
Sleep disorders - a modern day anomaly
“Why are people sleeping less?” Michael explains that EMFs, 5G, photonic energy and wifi are all disrupting our sleep. “If you’re not sleeping 6-8 hours a day your body cannot heal.”
Michael remembers the times he slept the most soundly was in his mothers arms. She sand him lullabies - the song, creating soothing vibrations.
Michael has created Wholetones Sleep, a collection of lullabies. A nurse once told Michael that Wholetones should be the soundtrack for the entry and exit of every human in the world it was that calming..
Michael has created a Wholetones player to deliver the music at maximum quality.
Michael tells the story of the Wholetones launch party where everyone fell asleep. The joke is that the song on the album Angels All Around Us is “the song no one’s ever heard the end of”.
But the medical community want scientific evidence so Michael conducted a clinical trial with control groups. The results were conclusive - trial participants that listened to Wholetones fell asleep faster, stayed asleep longer and woke up feeling more refreshed than those who didn’t.
Michael explains that for some people the effects of Wholetones work straight away while others need more repetition. Volume is also not important when working with frequency as long as it’s audible.
Ryan’s quote of the day, “Trust in God but row away from the rocks”.

Cancer Stem Cells, Vitamin C & NAD, Dietary Shifts & Cancer - Dr. Paul Anderson & Ryan Sternagel
00:48:33
About This Episode
Dr. Paul Anderson, based in Seattle, shares transformative insights on holistic approaches to cancer.
He emphasizes clean eating's pivotal role in cancer prevention, treatment strategies based on cancer stages, and highlights the importance of monitoring cancer stem cells (CSCs). Diving deep into IV Vitamin C treatment, Anderson notes its unique capability to harm cancer cells while supporting healthy ones.
Furthermore, he discusses the rapidly evolving landscape of Circulating Tumor Cell Tests and their significance in monitoring cancer.
For those navigating the cancer journey or seeking holistic health insights, this interview offers a wealth of knowledge. Dive into the summary or watch/listen for comprehensive understanding.
Dr. Anderson was Ryan's son's naturopathic oncologist.
Ryan appreciated Dr. Anderson's vast knowledge and ability to answer difficult questions.
Dr. Paul Anderson's Introduction and Background:
Based in Seattle, Washington.
Met Ryan during the treatment of Ryan's son, Ryder.
His practice is divided into two equal parts:
Treating patients with cancer, including children (which is uncommon).
Treating individuals with complicated chronic illnesses unrelated to cancer.
Teaches doctors and emphasizes on sharing knowledge.
Co-authored the book "Outside the Box Cancer Therapy" with Dr. Stangler.
Working on another book focusing on the emotional aspects and process of being diagnosed with cancer.
Comparison between Naturopathic Oncologists and Integrative Medical Doctors:
Dr. Anderson emphasizes practical experience, learning from patients.
He offers specialized treatments, including IV therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, hyperthermia therapies, etc.
Naturopathic oncologists and integrative MDs can both be limited in their treatments by the hospitals or systems they work in.
Discussion on IV Vitamin C Treatment:
Dr. Anderson is recognized internationally for his expertise on this topic.
Benefits can be gained from both low and high doses of IV vitamin C, depending on the application.
The amount needed can vary based on body weight and the specific health of the patient.
High doses can range from 50-100 grams for most adult-sized individuals.
Vitamin C remains in the system for about 24 hours post-IV.
Vitamin C is unique in that it harms cancer cells while supporting healthy cells.
Lower doses (around 10-15 grams) can provide significant improvements in quality of life for frail or end-of-life patients.
Circulating Tumor Cell Tests:
Have improved over time; past versions like RGCC and CellSearch were not as accurate.
Technology is rapidly changing and affecting the reliability of these tests.
Biocept, Maintrac, and IVY gene are currently used tests.
These tests are especially useful for:
Monitoring cancer in remission or no evidence of disease.
Tracking the effectiveness of ongoing treatments.
Treatment Strategies Based on Cancer Stage:
Late Stage:
Urgency in treatment is crucial.
Need a holistic approach, addressing dietary habits, toxins, infections, hormones, and overall health.
Aim to grab the cancer's attention and slow its progression.
Early Stage:
There's more flexibility in treatment approaches.
Focus can be on non-cancer issues like detoxifying, balancing hormones, improving gut health, and addressing mental health.
Treatment options can include concentrated mushroom extracts, metabolic treatments like exogenous ketones, or even dietary shifts such as raw vegan diets.
Post-Cancer Treatment:
Post chemotherapy and radiation, there's an increased risk for secondary cancers because they can stimulate cancer stem cells.
Importance of recovery after initial treatments and secondary prevention to ensure recurrence doesn't occur.
Repairing the body and suppressing cancer stem cells is essential.
Diet's Impact on Cancer:
No single "best" diet for cancer elimination; however, diet plays a pivotal role.
Emphasis on clean eating: Avoid processed foods, chemicals, pesticides, and herbicides.
A shift in diet can have a noticeable effect on cancer within 1-3 months.
Key Dietary Recommendations:
Intermittent Fasting (IF): IF for even 13 hours has shown to reduce the recurrence of breast cancer. It activates autophagy (cell cleaning) and has other metabolic benefits.
Diet Cleanliness: Remove junk and chemicals from diet.
Plant-based Spectrum: High in polyphenols, fiber, dense nutrients, and low in simple carbs. Raw food diets can quickly get the body's attention.
Ketogenic Spectrum: Shifts body metabolism and may be beneficial against certain types of cancers. It's crucial to balance protein intake since excess protein can be converted into sugar.
Modified Mediterranean Diet: High plant-based with clean protein and fat sources, minimal grains.
Diet Adaptability:
Initial diet is about getting the body's attention; it might differ from the long-term diet.
Both ketogenic and raw food diets have shown positive effects on patients with various cancer types.
Adapt the diet based on what a person can do and tolerate.
Long-term success requires consistency in dietary habits.
Observational Cases:
Noted a patient surviving stage 3/4 breast cancer for over 15 years primarily using a ketogenic diet.
Other cases showed success with a raw food diet transitioned into a modified vegetarian diet.
Regular Monitoring:
Emphasizes tracking certain blood work indicators (e.g., LDH, alkaline phosphatase, GGT) regularly.
These markers can provide insights into inflammation, oxygen levels, and overall body health.
Monitoring helps catch subtle shifts in the body's health, guiding adjustments in treatments and dietary habits.
Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) Insights:
CSCs are smarter than regular tumor cells (daughter cells).
While treatments like chemotherapy or radiation can reduce tumor size, they might make one prone to relapses because CSCs hide and wait.
Many people have dormant CSCs in their bodies.
The challenge is to keep these cells inactive.
CSCs can recruit normal cells to become cancerous.
CSC Triggers & Management:
One major trigger for CSCs is inflammation.
Inflammation sources include lack of exercise, poor diet, toxins, infections.
Healthier lifestyles, such as better diets and regular exercise, produce anti-cancer metabolic triggers.
Intermittent fasting and periodic longer fasts can slow CSC activity.
Diet, detox, and addressing specific toxic exposures can help maintain an environment less favorable for CSC growth.
NAD Therapy Insights:
NAD is essential for energy production in mitochondria.
High doses of NAD can be problematic for those with cancer because some cancers can utilize excess NAD for growth.
For those with a cancer history, lower dose NAD therapy can be considered safe.
In active cancer cases, high-dose NAD therapy should be avoided.
Oral supplementation with nicotinamide riboside can help, but high doses may pose risks.
Resources and Contacts:
Book recommendation: "Outside the Box Cancer Therapies" provides practical insights into cancer treatments.

Methionine restricted diet | Sodium selenite | NORI Protocol | Mark Simon & Ryan Sternagel
01:24:50
Full show notes @ https://thesternmethod.com/mark-simon/
Mark Simon, CN, CHCC, CPBN
Mark Simon established the Nutritional Oncology Research Institute (NORI) in 2011 as an organization focused on advancing cancer care through optimization of diet and application of targeted nutraceuticals. Mark Simon's background and interests are in diverse fields including clinical nutrition, biomedical engineering, plant-based nutrition, naturopathic medicine and neuroscience.
Our guest today, Mark Simon, talks about how eating a low methionine diet can lead to better health and cancer cell death (apoptosis).
In this episode, Mark and Ryan discuss the benefits of a plant-based diet which is high in fruits and berries, moderate in vegetables and void of animal products. Through his work at the Nutritional Oncology Research Institute, Mark has developed the NORI protocol, based on the two core concepts of restricting methionine intake and using high doses of sodium selenite (selenium salts) and other targeted nutraceuticals to reduce tumor cell growth. In-vivo studies and clinical experience affirm the effectiveness of this type of diet. The concept of using pro-oxidants versus anti-oxidants is discussed as is the mechanism of sodium selenite and the relationship between methionine and cancer.
This conversation may challenge the way you currently view your nutritional protocol. We encourage you to keep an open mind. Be prepared to stretch your current point of view and perhaps gain some new insight and ideas.
Please enjoy this next installment of the Anti-cancer Revolution! Be sure to let us know what you think below.
0:41Fruit or no fruit – That is the million dollar question
Mark promotes a methionine restricted diet - high fruit, moderate vegetables, no animal products
Utilizes Vitamin E, tocotrienol, selenium, iodine
2:30Overview of the NORI protocol
Based on two core ideas -
methionine restricted diet &
high dose selenium (sodium selenite)
Mark started the diet based on personal experience after his wife was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer
Diet plays a huge role as a tool in cancer prevention
Sodium selenite is a form of selenium studied for over 40 years
Is a selective chemo-therapeutic agent
Can kill cancer cells without causing harm to other cells
High bio-availability
Can be administered intravenously or orally
6:00Relationship between methionine and cancer cells
Mark discover the work of Dr. Daniel E. Epner, MD - clinical studies using methionine restricted diet
Video by Dr. Mark Gregor on Mark’s website describing methionine and what it does
Methionine is an amino acid
If methionine is restricted, cancer cells die
Could potentially work as stand-alone therapy
8:30How do you reduce methionine in the body and what is the end goal?
Through the diet methionine levels can be brought quite low
All whole foods contain some level of methionine
Fruits contain the least amount of methionine
Grains, nuts, beans, seeds, animal products contain the most
Best to cycle methionine levels on and off
In the future hope is to be able to bring methionine levels to zero
10:05What do cancer cells do with methionine?
Cancer cells use methionine as a building block
Methionine is not needed for normal cell growth- not an essential amino acid
MTOR pathway is stimulated less with methionine restriction
Methionine restriction makes cancer cells more sensitive to treatment
NORI diet is a platform to slow down tumor growth and make cancer more sensitive to treatment
13:50What are your thoughts on eating fruit?
Fruit is not the same thing as table sugar
Most fruits are low glycemic
Fruitarian diet does not cause high blood sugar
80-10-10 diet (80% fruit, 10% protein, 10% fat)
Sugar does not encourage tumor growth, insulin does
Ketogenic diet doesn’t work long term because glutamine is not cut out of diet
18:00NORI diet restricts other cancer-dependent amino acids besides methionine
Glutamine
Phenylalanine
Isoleucine
Tryptophan
Asparagine
18:30NORI diet is an alkaline diet
Alkaline diet helps neutralize acidity around tumors
Anti-inflammatory
Anti-angiogenesis
Dr. Robert Morse recommends a similar program
20:05Where do you stand on juicing fruit? Is there a difference between eating fruit and vegetables with or without fiber?
A little bit of freshly squeezed citrus juice is fine
Bottled juices - no
Believes juicing is counter-productive
More antioxidants flooding the system makes it harder to fight cancer
Hasn’t seen data showing success with juicing and stage 4 cancer
Plant based diet is a good idea
Cancers are crazier today than years ago
Gerson’s original diet involved orange juice and lower protein (lower methionine)
Juicing probably doesn’t get phytochemicals up to appropriate levels
23:45Can you elaborate on antioxidants and cancer?
Study with animals on low-antioxidant diet slowed tumor progression
Normal cells operate on a low level of oxidative stress
Cancer cells operate at a high level of oxidative stress because of altered metabolism
Adding oxidative stress will push cancer cells over the edge
Cancer cells are dependent on anti-oxidant systems like:
Glutathione
Thioredoxin
Catalyse
Superoxide dismutase
If you block glutathione synthesis, cancer cells die off
Putting anti-oxidants into the system aids cancer survival such as:
Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol form)
Vitamin C
NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine)
Vitamin A
NORI program is careful not to incorporate juicing or other antioxidant supplements
NORI program utilizes pro-oxidants which increase oxidative stress
Sodium selenite
Generates hydrogen peroxide
Generates ROS (reactive oxygen species)
Triggers cell apoptosis
28:30What are your thoughts on using antioxidants to increase chemotherapy and drug success?
Oncologists tell patients no antioxidant supplements because they know they will interfere with treatment
Antioxidants protect cancer cells
Mark hasn’t seen any research showing antioxidants make chemo work better
Research shows pro-oxidant therapy helps chemo work better
Sodium selenite
Ozone therapy
Sulforaphane (need 10-20 grams or more) - not too efficient
32:30Can you give us a breakdown of the different levels of methionine within food groups?
Foods highest in methionine: Chicken and fish
Next: other animal products- beef, dairy, eggs
Mark has been vegan for 30 years (supplements with B12 occasionally)
Caution: B-12 can be used by cancer cells for protein synthesis
Soy, sesame seeds, and brazil nuts are high in methionine
Lowest: apple, most fruits
Dark green veggies are fairly high
Hard part is getting enough calories on a low methionine diet
Potatoes and rice work to bring up weight
38:40Cycling on and off low-methionine foods
Encourage fruit-only breakfast (easily digested, full of enzymes, fiber, water, cleansing, detoxifying, extends a fast)
Book: Harvey Diamond,Fit for Life
Food combining
Methionine restriction is anti-aging
Ketosis is not necessarily a healthy state - not natural/normal
Not a proponent of fasting for cancer patients - too stressful
Recommends a fruit-only diet instead of fasting
Super-charge your system by eating raw, high-energy, plant-based foods
44:30What is the distinction between nutraceuticals and supplements?
Use supplements to fill in gaps
Recommends supplementing with iodine, selenium, vitamin D, zinc, B12
Nutraceuticals can be used to lower inflammation
Sodium selenite is used as an anticancer nutraceutical
Vitamin E delta tocotrienol- high dose kills cancer cells
Glucosamine alters cancer cells
High-dose zinc is effective in killing cancer cells
Melatonin effective in fighting cancer (300 mg)
Curcumin - plant derived medicine - not very bioavailable
Medicines work because of toxic effects on system/system modulation
50:20How did selenium and tocotrienols stand out to you?
High index of therapeutic value
High bioavailability
Water solubility
ADME Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion - nutraceuticals are analyzed according to this standard
Sodium selenite has reached animal and human clinical studies (in-vivo)
Methionine restriction is being used in ongoing human clinical studies
55:20What is the mechanism of action of sodium selenite?
Selective pro-oxidant
Study which shows it inhibits glutamine metabolism
Natural high uptake into tumor tissue
Radioactive sodium selenite (SE-75) was used in the 1960s to highlight cancer cells on imaging tests
Relatively small amount of sodium selenite (10-20 mg) is typically needed at therapeutic threshold levels
9 hour half-life
Cells need to be exposed 24 to 72 hours or more - the longer the better
Lower doses can be sustained for longer periods of time
.3 mg/kg of body weight is dosage for IV sodium selenite
IVs are used for pulsing in addition to oral dosage
IVs can become cost-prohibitive
1:01:30 Hazards of buying sodium selenite online
Can be risky - might be over a toxic dose or too weak
Mark sells some on his website
Might not be pharmaceutical dose
Signs of overdose
Hair loss
Brittle nails
Use under supervision
1:03:00 Is this an extract of selenium versus a whole compound?
Sodium selenite is a mineral salt - inorganic form of selenium- trace mineral
Chemical formula Na 2 Se0 3
Body needs it all the time
Organic forms vary in the level of anti-cancer activity
100% water soluble- easily crosses blood-brain barrier
Vitamin E used is extracted from annatto seed - delta tocotrienol
Pro-oxidant
Looks and behaves like unsaturated fatty acid
Initiates lipid peroxidase chain reaction
Ends up in mitochondrial membrane
Interacts with and generates more ROS
Triggers cancer cells to die - apoptosis
Mitochondria are dysfunctional in cancer cells
Breaks the positive feedback loop of the mitochondria so cells can die
1:09:39 You mentioned DHA. Where do you get yours?
Mark uses an algae oil
Studies show DHA can be used therapeutically in cancer (6g/day)
DHA will become incorporated into the cancer cell membranes and will undergo lipid peroxidase reactions
Algae oil is unstable and oxidizes easily
Antioxidants are added to maintain stability and this can be enough to interfere with NORI protocol
1:11:20 Budwig diet - similarities and differences
Fruit, berries, no animal products
Cottage cheese and flax oil mixture
Flax contains ALA, a polyunsaturated fat
Studies show ALA can trigger cancer cells to die
Flaxseed oil must be freshly pressed (15-30g)
Cottage cheese/quark works as an emulsifying agent to break up the oil for bioavailability
Theoretically based on the science, it should work
Not in favor of it right now because there are better methods
Tocotrienol does the same thing only with more efficiency
1:15:30Lithium Chloride
Still under study
Has a favorable effect on cancer pathways
Used as treatment booster
Studies with lithium chloride used in conjunction with 5FU in animals
1:17:07NORI protocol is currently using 6 agents
3 core agents make up the cytotoxic cocktail
Vit E tocotrienol (1200mg), sodium selenite, Vit K3

Ayurvedic Herbs and Cancer | Dr Virender Sodhi MD (AYURVED) ND & Ryan Sternagel
01:18:16
Full article @ https://thesternmethod.com/virender-sodhi
Dr Virender Sodhi was the first Ayurvedic and Naturopathic physician in the United States. From a young age, Dr. Sodhi knew he wanted to be a physician. This was a kid who would visit the village doctor and pretend he was ill so that he could take the prescribed medicine home, label it and add it to his growing “medicine cabinet”.
After moving to the United States, Dr Sodhi completed his ND degree at Bastyr University, Washington in 1988. The following year he founded the Ayurvedic and Naturopathic Clinic that he still practices at today.
It wasn’t until many years later, after dealing with cancer in his family, that Dr Sodhi turned his professional focus to oncology. Dr Sodhi completed a fellowship in Integrative Oncology with Dr. Mark Rosenberg in 2012 and a steady stream of cancer patients followed. Today he helps patients from around the globe using traditional Ayurvedic principles and integrative treatment protocols.
I’m really excited about this episode! I’ve interviewed a lot of different health professionals about cancer over the years but this is the first time I’ll be exploring Ayurveda.
Ayurvedic medicine is the primary care model for hundreds of millions of people in India. Dr Sodhi talks me through what Ayurveda is and what makes it different from other Eastern medicine practices. We talk about some of the medicinal herbs used in Ayurvedic medicine – particularly the ones with anti-cancer properties, and how they can help patients as anti-cancer protocols and as integrative therapies alongside other alternative and/or conventional cancer treatments. Plus we’ll cover off where to find the best quality Ayurvedic herbs. Enjoy!
Can you start with telling us what Ayurveda is?
Ayurveda is thousands of years old. Deep-seated in Indian culture
The ayurvedic philosophy to good health is to live in harmony with and follow the laws of nature
Cancer is the prime example of what happens when we stray away from mother nature
How did you get into medicine and in particular cancer?
Born and raised in small rural village in Himalayas
His father was a school principal with a keen interest in medicine
Father taught him about plants and herbs and their medicinal properties
Began collected herbs and medicines. Even feigned illness to his doctor so he could add what was prescribed to his collection
When his father died of lung cancer, Dr Sodhi vowed to work in oncology. Didn’t happen until his sister was diagnosed with breast cancer years later
Completed his fellowship in Florida with integrative oncologist Dr Mark Rosenburg
Cancer patients started pouring in
Why is there such an emphasis on herbs in Eastern medicine?
Indian culture is very old and advanced in thinking
Historically India was the learning academy for the world
The Life of Jesus in India (YouTube video) - did Jesus go to India during the ‘missing years’ before return to Jerusalem?
Consider the behaviour of animals - they look, sniff, taste and if they like it they eat it. We need to use our senses in the same way
Close connection with mother nature is part of Indian culture
Native American culture is rich in herbology
Wild food foraging
How is Ayurveda different from other practices?
Mental, emotional, spiritual, physical - Ayurveda focuses on all these aspects
Cancer patients often have mental or emotional issues
Cancer is not one disease, group of many diseases
Most diseases are a result of lifestyle
Our food chain is contaminated, no safety data on chemicals in our environment
We need to drive change by not purchasing these products
Pesticides killing our gut microbiome
Do you provide the mental and emotional support?
Assess and provide tools but refers to others for ongoing support
Changing thought processes is key to long term health
We must create balance every day
What Ayervadic herbs would people be familiar with?
Turmeric and curcumin - helps with inflammation and changes gene behavior
Boswellia Serreta (Frankincense) - anti-inflammatory. Beneficial for neuroblastoma, bone cancers and sacommas
Ashwagandha - adaptogen that helps the body balance itself. Anti-angiogenic effect - restricts blood supply to tumors
Natural compounds have DNA and can communicate with the body. Synthetic drugs cannot
Natural compounds support the immune system
Immunotherapy gaining popularity
Neem - antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral. Creates autophagy in cancer cells (cell starves)
The immune system has the tools to fight cancer cells if it is working properly
How is your turmeric product different
Turmeric oils are not very bioavailable unless you add fat
Golden milk is a drink with milk and turmeric
Coconut milk contains medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) that help keep sugar away from cancer cells and make it more bioavailable
CoCurcumin uses MCTs to significantly improve the bioavailability of curcumin. CoQ10 is added to support cardiovascular and inflammatory function. Trikatu, a traditional Ayurvedic combination of piperine from black pepper is also added to enhance turmeric absorption.
Metronomic approach to chemotherapy (micro / low dosing) is becoming more popular
How do you design an anti-cancer herbal protocol?
Ongoing learning process
Every disease starts with the mind
Looks at the whole picture
Food, digestion. Chew your food, eat mindfully, eat nutrient dense not calorie dense food
We want quick fixes when it comes to our health, but never the answer
Paleo dieters seem to have forgotten the gathering part from our hunter gather past
Hunting was exercise
Animals farm raised - changes composition of meat and fat

040 Functional Medicine for Cancer, Core Health Problems, Labs for Gut Function, Toxicity, Methylation, Tests for Intestinal Permeability, Dysbiosis, Sibo, Clinical Ketogenic Diet, Infrared Saunas for Detox and Mitochondrial Function with Dr. Will Cole
00:57:38
Dr. Will Cole Discusses:
What functional medicine is and what functional medicine practitioners look at
Why someone going through cancer would want to work with a functional medicine practitioner
Identify underlying problems long before they become serious OR get to the core issue of serious problems to truly heal
Labs for gut function, toxic burden, methylation and blood tests
Clinical application of ketogenic diet as one tool of many
Infrared saunas for detoxification and mitochondrial function
This I feel was a very important episode for the show and for those of you going through cancer to understand as we’ve had reference to functional medicine and guests on who practice it in the past but no straight up interviews on this is what it is, this is what we look at and this is how it can help in contrast or maybe better yet in addition to your conventional care team and even your naturopathic doctor in a lot of cases.
Wide ranging interview but a very good overall theme of identifying and addressing core issues to problems that others may miss that I think is going to give you a lot more firepower when it comes to questions to ask health practitioners you’re either currently working with or those that you may be evaluating to be sure you’re really getting the best health bang for your buck possible.
Dr. Will Cole who graduated from Southern California University of Health Sciences in Los Angeles, California. He has his post doctorate education and training in Functional Medicine and Clinical Nutrition through The Institute for Functional Medicine and Functional Medicine University. Dr. Cole consults in the Pittsburgh area and phone or webcam consultations for people around the world. He specializes in clinically investigating underlying factors and customizing health programs for chronic conditions.

How'd you get into cancer?
Survived uterine cancer herself
Took 2 years and 8 doctors to get a proper diagnosis
Hormone replacement therapy exacerbated symptoms
Adenocarcinoma found through endometrial biopsy
Hysterectomy to remove the cancer
Problems with the medical system
Doctors are too busy
Influenced by insurance companies to do the cheapest tests
If tests don’t show anything, talk you out of your symptoms
Need to know what tests to ask for. The best tests are often not even on the menu
A woman on a mission
Wrote a book called Cancer Schmancer to help others. A New York Times best seller
Set up Cancer Schmancer Movement
Educating people on the relationship between how we live and how we feel
Toxins in your home. The Check, Choose, Change Challenge
Check the labels
Choose organic
Change behaviour
What are you putting in your mouth?
Avoid all industrofarmed food - full of hormones, agrochemicals, antibiotics
Supporting local organic farmers
Mass farming not helping the planet, you, your family, your pets
Biologic dentists - mouth / body connection
Each tooth connected to an energy meridiem in the body
What are you cleaning or gardening with?
We live in a ‘sick’ world
The woes of the world have one systemic malignancy - greed
Supported by mindless consumerism
If we make mindful choices we can drive more responsible manufacturing trends
What we buy or don't buy is our vote and our protest
Overwhelming to think about the world’s problems. Focus on what you can change. It only takes 10% of a population to shift a paradigm
Education video for kids - Be the Change
We are brainwashed that making money and buying 'stuff' is more important that compassion or caring about the environment
Pre-diagnosis, is there anything that might have been driving the cancer?
Raped at gunpoint. Didn't deal with it until 10 years later
Unless you allow yourself to feel and therefore release your pain, it will be stored somewhere in your body
Held onto a lot of guilt from childhood. Didn't want to have children for a long time
Stress from work and marriage break down
Maybe it happened for a reason? Use celebrity to help others
Mind, body and spirit needs to be in balance. Out of balance we are susceptible to dis-ease
Was there anything that helped you deal with your pain
Buddhism. A great daily practice
Lifestyle choice, not a religion - but it can complement any religion
Teaches you to be present in your life
Meditation and being grounded to the earth – key to good health
Make a point of looking at the everyday, the mundane with child-like wonder
How are you keeping cancer away for the rest of your life
Food is medicine. The reverse is also true
Stop supporting industrial farming
Stop using single use plastics
Clean up our homes
Consider WIFI, 5G etc as a disruptor to our energy field
WIFI is less than 20 years old. We don't know the impact on ourselves or our environment
Use landlines with cords - not portable ones
Who am I if not my word - you have to walk the talk which can be really hard
Keep improving along this journey of self refinement. But don't make ‘perfect’ the enemy of the good. To err is human

004: Cancer Is a Fungus, Cancer Is a Frequency: Dr. Darrell Wolfe
01:26:39
The Doc of Detox, Dr. Darrell Wolfe lays down some core principles of true health and true change absolutely necessary to the effective and lasting healing of cancer that we probably didn’t even know we needed to work on.
In This Episode:
Dr. Wolfe goes into the notion that all of us need to be the masters of our own body rather than continually going to these practitioners who are only trained to treat, otherwise we’re always going to be in need of treatment of some sort. This goes for the natural side just as much as the conventional side.
Dr. Wolfe spent a lot of time on the idea that self-love comes before all else as the only prerequisite to true healing and expanding out from that how pure selflessness which we hear so much good stuff about these days can really be a fast track to disease
How cancer clinics can be valuable but the only thing that comes home with you is your belief system and without a good one the rest of it will not have any kind of lasting effect
How belief systems tie into childhood cancer and how to cultivate the best possible systems in our families
How all of this ties back to frequency AND how frequency ties into the physical and measurable indicators of health
Two of Dr. Wolfe’s signature assertions on cancer: cancer is a fungus and cancer is a frequency
And a nice geek out session on structured water to top it off
Dr. Wolfe’s best-selling book ‘Healthy to 100’ is the foundation from which he created his one-of-a-kind ‘Healthy to 100 Community’, where he hosts his weekly webinars and teleconferences to awaken the world with life-changing techniques and strategies. Dr. Wolfe has a weekly international radio show called DOC STAR RADIO where he trains his listeners how to master their health, heal the body and awaken the mind.
He is also the director of the prestigious ‘International Training Institute of Health’, where he teaches and certifies his unique breakthrough training courses to all sectors of the public and the professional health community.
Dr. Wolfe’s clinic and retreat are based in Kelowna, BC, Canada, where he treats, teaches and consults patients, locally and globally. Dr. Wolfe was a major speaker in the acclaimed Truth About Cancer documentary series seen around the world by 10 million people. Dr. Wolfe has been presented with the ‘Order of Excellence’ Award by The World Organization of Natural Medicine. His mission is to teach the world to MASTER THEIR HEALTH- HEAL THE BODY, and AWAKEN THE MIND.

Haelan 951, Soy Isoflavones, Genistein, Cancer Supplements | Jordan Todesco & Ryan Sternagel
00:59:21
A first for the Anti-cancer Revolution Podcast… We put the spotlight on one of my favourite anti-cancer products, Haelan 951. I chat to Jordan Todesco, son of Lesly Todesco who founded Haelan Products in 1990.
Jordan’s brother Jared is good friend of mine from high school, and the first person I called after Ryder was diagnosed. Jared got us onto Haelan 951 right away and also introduced Teddy and I to a number of natural healers and integrative practitioners which kick-started the path we’re on today.
***Resources Mentioned***
Haelan 951 website (10% discount available to listeners - use the promo code STERN at checkout)
In this first of its kind product deep dive, I speak with Jordan about the anti-cancer compounds of Haelan 951 and what makes this product so unique. We also delve into some of the published studies about the beneficial effects of Haelan 951 on people going through cancer.
I’d love to hear what you think of this one so feel free to leave a comment below.
What does Haelan mean?
Healing in Old English
Where did Healan 951 originate from?
Originally from China
Jordan’s father came across it in 1985
With the help top scientists he improved the formulation to what it is today
What is Healin 951?
A fermented soy beverage
Powerful food - immunonutrition
Not all soy is created equal, there are over 2500 species of soy
Haelan 951 uses organic, non-GMO soy grown in Mongolia above 3300ft elevation to eliminate cross pollination
Multi-stage fermentation process
25lb of whole soy beans into an 8oz serving
Packed with anti-cancer compounds such as Isoflavones like genistein and daidzin, and protease inhibitors
Highly bioavailable
What does genistein do?
Incredible studies on this compound in PubMed
Genistein can down-regulate the N-Myc gene (a gene that can compromise survival rates in some children with Neuroblastoma)
Use search engines like Yahoo or Bing as Google censor alternative health search results
A hormone-like substance
Inhibits initialization of cellular pathways that lead to cancer
Stops notch signaling (regulation of immunity and inflammation in the body)
Why is Haelan 951 better than other genistein supplements on the market?
5 compounds within the specific strain of soy bean work together synergistically
Often the RGCC test recommends genistein
More genistein per serving
Bioavailabilty is second to none
Out bodies only absorb 39-53% of supplements in capsule form. A lot of capsule content can be filler
Pure form of genistein, not synthetic. 99% purity rate, nearest competitor is around 91% purity
Very specific strain of soy bean
Protease inhibitors
Prevent synthesis of key proteins required for cancer cells to spread such as the the Bowman-Berk inhibitor that has a suppressive effect on cancer cells
Saponins
Latin word for soap
Plant steroid that foams when mixed with water
Within our bodies:
Induce apoptosis (death) of cancer cells
Fight free radicals
Improve immune function
Block signalling pathways that lead to cancer
Particularly effective for colon cancer
Phytosterols
Similar to cholesterol
Lowers risk of heart disease
Improves blood flow - critical for healing and in spreading nutrients around the body
Amino acids
Loaded with essential and branch chain amino acids
The soy / estrogen debate
Phytoestrogens (plant estrogen) are weaker estrogen
Received by the cell and ‘fills’ it up
Some cancers are estrogen driven so blocking this power source is good
Breast cancer patients who consume flaxseeds have seen reduced recurrence
The ‘aggressive’ estrogen comes from things like plastics and toxins in skin care
Haelan 951 comes in a glass bottle for this reason
Studies on Haelan 951
Induces growth arrest and apoptosis in pancreatic carcinoma
Classified by FDA as a food
FSWW08 was used as a term for Haelan 951 in blind or double-blind studies
Used by athletes
Study shows improvements in PTSD - balance hormonal issues with phytoestrogens
Benefits seen in hematology and cachexia (side effect of chemo)
Breast cancer studies
ALS studies
Is Haelan 951 covered by insurance?
Covered by some insurance companies
Need to file for reimbursement after purchasing the product
Haelan reps can help with questions
Follow steps to file for reimbursement - obtain a letter of medical necessity and a treatment authorisation request
Need to have Medicare supplemental insurance
The smell and taste
A very potent taste and smell
Recommend mixing it with Greens First, Calibr8 or chocolate flavoured stevia
Contaminant testing
Tests for herbicides, pesticides, heavy metals done at the factory and in the US
Commitment to and reputation for quality
Well known in the integrative world amongst Doctors and Practitioners

Drank gallons of tea and coffee a day
Lived off her kids leftovers and chocolate
The diagnosis
Started experiencing problems with her breast augmentation. Symptoms included ectopic heartbeat, arthritis, decline in vision, menstrual cycle changes, migraines, breast pain
Couldn’t loose weight even with extreme exercise
Tired and fatigued
Changes in personality
Her cat continually patted her right breast at night. Found a gritty lump around where the cat kept patting
Mammogram came back negative. Sought a second opinion. Ultrasound revealed many tumors
Biopsy confirmed breast cancer. Was advised to have a mastectomy and possible chemo
A conventional start
Private medical insurance
MRI and full bone scan
Surgery removed right breast
Her husband believed in cause and effect. He started researching and found Dr Patrick Vickers
Kate took two books into hospital - The China Study and Max Gerson’s Results of 50 Cases. She started reading and felt like she’d made a huge mistake
Wounds weren’t healing. Complications with surgery
Kate’s alternative approach to healing
Overnight Kate went from doing nothing to drinking 30 juices a day plus coffee enemas
Wounds healed beautifully
Added mistletoe injections to the Gerson Therapy
Referred to practitioner Katherine Alexander. Kate found she was deficient in ferotine and T4 was low
Added the B17 tablet protocol and lypo spheric Vitamin C
Takes Freeing the Sun (Chinese herb) to clear methylation pathway in liver and metabolize estrogen
A journey of discovery
Breasts need iodine, and that fluoride, chlorine and bromine promote iodine deficiency
Alcohol switches on the breast cancer gene
Make up and perfume, air fresheners elevate estrogen
IVF increases your breast cancer risk
Refined, white sugar impacts eyesight
Diets high in animal protein, reduce T-lympocytes that kill tumors, viruses and fungus
The results of Kate’s protocol
Eye sight improved
No more joint pain, pimples, sinusitis or atopic heartbeat
During detox, Kate’s abdomen became swollen with gas. She experienced toxic headaches, chills and fevers as her body dealt with toxic overload
Came off mistletoe injections to enable body to naturally produce an immune response
High temperatures and flea bites were signs Kate’s immune response was improving
No pain killers when her breast implants were changed. Juices and coffee enemas helped pain subside
Nipple reconstruction surgery done under local not general. Procedure relies on scar tissue to make the new nipple but Kate’s body broke it down
Oncologist recommended Kate remove her ovaries. She decided to keep them and bring her estrogen down naturally Asked her Healing Code to put her ovaries to sleep. Instant menopause without a single hot flush
The ‘Gold Standard’ of care in the UK
The UK public health system does the mastectomy differently to reduce theatre time and costs. Higher risk for the patient and all nodes in arm are removed even if they are not cancerous
Can’t customize treatment in public system
Recommended treatment protocols often based on opinion not evidence
Cancer charities work with drug companies creating a conflict of interest
Public are desensitized to cancer treatment. Advertisements make people believe they need to be bald and sick before they can heal
Trained in the Beckers Health Belief Model - a patient must deem the risk so great that they accept the treatment
The UK’s cancer act of 1939 - anyone who advises a patient on alternative ‘cures’ for cancer will go to prison for 3 months
Ignorance is no excuse - medical practitioners and dietitians have a duty of care to educate themselves

Gonzalez Protocol, Metabolic Typing, Enzyme Therapy: Dr. Alex Orton & Ryan Sternagel
00:49:49
In this insightful podcast, Dr. Orton introduces Haven Holistic Health Center, pioneering individualized health education in Chicago, and critiques the 'green allopathy' trend in alternative medicine.
He underscores the Gonzalez protocol, advocating for lifestyle changes over technological reliance for degenerative diseases and cancer care.
Key discussions include the metabolic typing essential for the protocol, addressing misconceptions about sugar's role in cancer, and emphasizing the unique signaling role of pancreatic enzymes in treatment.
Dr. Orton's holistic approach, combining diet, supplementation, and detox routines, offers a nuanced perspective on health optimization and chronic illness recovery.
Tune in to discover why one-size-fits-all doesn't apply in holistic health and how personalized care is revolutionizing the wellness landscape!
[00:01:26] Dr. Orton and Dr. Orata established Haven, a holistic health center in Chicago, to address the lack of truly holistic healthcare. They focus on creating individualized health programs to educate and empower people to optimize their health and recover from chronic illness.
Critique of "Green Allopathy"
[00:01:45] Dr. Orton criticizes the practice of "green allopathy" in alternative medicine, where supplements are prescribed in the same way as drugs without addressing the underlying lifestyle issues that contribute to chronic illness.
Foundations of True Health
[00:02:36] Emphasizes the need for health plans that address foundational lifestyle factors, such as daily habits and mindset, which are crucial for achieving and maintaining health.
The Gonzalez Protocol
[00:03:31] Dr. Orton advocates for the Gonzalez protocol, which focuses on lifestyle changes rather than just advanced technology or supplements for treating degenerative diseases and cancer.
Legacy and Implementation of the Gonzalez Protocol
[00:04:42] Mary Beth Gonzalez, the president of the Gonzalez Foundation and Dr. Gonzalez's wife, took time to ensure the integrity and effectiveness of the Gonzalez protocol to honor her husband's legacy.
Enzyme Therapy and the Gonzalez Protocol
[00:06:32] Dr. Orton adheres strictly to the Gonzalez protocol regarding enzyme therapy. He explains the history and importance of enzyme potency and stability as established by Dr. Gonzalez.
Overview of the Gonzalez Protocol
[00:08:34] The Gonzalez protocol includes an individualized diet, supplement regimen, and detoxification routines. It is a holistic approach designed over decades to support body healing from cancer and other diseases.
Metabolic Typing and Supplementation
[00:13:42] The protocol involves metabolic typing to tailor supplement doses to each individual's needs, emphasizing the balance of acid and alkaline in the body, and choosing the right forms of nutrients.
Metabolic Typing Determination
[00:17:55] Dr. Orton details the process of determining an individual's metabolic type through symptoms related to the balance between sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest or digest) nervous systems. This assessment is crucial to the Gonzalez protocol.
Symptom-Based Metabolic Analysis
[00:18:01] Sympathetic dominant individuals may exhibit symptoms like constipation and high blood pressure, while parasympathetic dominance might present with diarrhea and autoimmune issues. This helps in guiding dietary recommendations, such as the need for red meat to acidify an overly alkaline system.
Comprehensive Questionnaire and Diagnosis
[00:20:51] A lengthy questionnaire developed by Dr. Kelly assists in evaluating a wide array of symptoms to avoid misclassification of metabolic types.
Assessing Acid-Alkaline Balance
[00:22:08] Dr. Orton explains the complexity of accurately measuring the acid-alkaline balance in the body, mentioning experimental tests used in their practice and ongoing validation of Dr. Kelly’s blood work correlations.
Bicarbonate Treatment for Cancer
[00:23:53] Discussion on the use of sodium bicarbonate injections for treating solid tumors, which are generally overly acidic, and the importance of metabolic typing in cancer treatment.
Cancer Typing and Treatment
[00:26:01] Solid tumors tend to be too acidic while immune system-related cancers (like leukemia) tend to be too alkaline. This influences the application of the Gonzalez protocol and other treatments like sodium bicarbonate injections.
CAC Tea and Treatment Considerations
[00:28:21] Dr. Orton is open to the use of SEAC tea and other herbal remedies but emphasizes the importance of not overwhelming the system with too many treatments at once.
Preventative Use of Enzymes
[00:31:02] Pancreatic enzymes are endorsed for preventative measures against cancer, but they must be paired with detoxification practices like coffee enemas to manage waste products.
Specificity of the Gonzalez Protocol
[00:32:05] The protocol's effectiveness may vary with different types of cancer, influenced by factors such as blood flow to the tumor, with leukemia being notably responsive due to its presence in the bloodstream.
Blood Flow and Cancer Treatment Efficacy
[00:34:23] Tumors in areas with poor blood flow, such as radiation scars or primary liver cancer, may be more challenging to treat, requiring longer timeframes or adjunctive treatments like bicarbonate injections.
Gonzalez Protocol vs. Gerson Therapy
[00:35:13] Dr. Orton clarifies the differences between the Gonzalez and Gerson therapies, particularly in their approach to treating acidic versus alkaline cancers.
Juicing in the Gonzalez Protocol
[00:35:54] Juicing is included in the Gonzalez protocol for cancer patients, albeit less intensely than in the Gerson therapy, to provide a digestible source of nutrients and enzymes.
Juicing and Metabolic Types
[00:36:53] Dr. Orton clarifies that under the Gonzalez protocol, carrot juice is considered neutral and is recommended for all metabolic types. Parasympathetic types, contrary to avoidance of alkaline foods, can still consume fruits, especially tropical ones, for their enzyme content.
Food Choices for Parasympathetic Types
[00:37:20] Although parasympathetic dominant individuals need to emphasize acidic foods, they can still include certain fruits and neutral foods like carrots in their diet. However, they should avoid highly alkalizing foods like green leafy vegetables and citrus fruits.
Misconceptions About Acidic and Alkaline Foods
[00:38:46] Dr. Orton addresses the common misconception about the acidity of citrus fruits. Despite their acidic taste, they have an alkaline effect on the body, making them suitable for sympathetic dominant individuals.
Sugar Consumption and Cancer
[00:39:59] Dr. Orton dispels the myth that sugar feeds cancer, referencing Otto Warburg's research. He explains that Dr. Gonzalez's high-sugar diets, consisting of natural sugars from juices and fruits, showed no evidence of promoting cancer.
Beet Juice vs. Carrot Juice
[00:42:39] While beets have different properties, carrot juice remains the foundation in the Gonzalez protocol, primarily for its concentration of beta-carotene, which supports the immune system during cancer treatment.
Enzymes in Cancer Treatment
[00:43:30] Pancreatic enzymes are highlighted as special due to their signaling mechanism that inhibits the proliferation of undifferentiated cells, similar to fetal development, rather than just digesting tumors.

Testing for Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs)
Timestamp: [00:30:52 - 00:35:49]
Dr. Rubin uses Biosep, a lab in San Diego, for CTC testing, which can identify two types of cells: cytokeratin positive and cytokeratin negative.
Cytokeratin is an anchor molecule for cells, and its presence or absence indicates the cell's ability to move freely in the bloodstream.
Cytokeratin-negative cells, often missed by other labs, are more common in Dr. Rubin's practice and are indicative of cancer stem cells, which are crucial for long-term cancer management.
Clinical Significance of Cytokeratin in CTCs
Timestamp: [00:35:49 - 00:39:46]
Cytokeratin-positive CTCs indicate cells that were forcibly dislodged into the bloodstream, whereas cytokeratin-negative cells have intentionally detached to spread.
The difference in cytokeratin status helps in understanding the behavior of cancer cells and planning appropriate treatment strategies.
Additional Markers in CTC Testing
Timestamp: [00:40:05 - 00:42:54]
Biosep's testing also identifies other markers like estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, HER2, PD L1, and androgen receptors on CTCs.
These markers help in personalizing treatment, especially in cases like triple-negative breast cancer, where androgen receptors might play a role.
Strategy After Identifying CTCs
Timestamp: [00:43:28 - 00:47:12]
After detecting CTCs, Dr. Rubin's approach varies based on the individual patient's history, cancer type, and treatment response.
Additional lab tests and lifestyle adjustments are recommended to strengthen the body against potential metastasis.
The goal is to stabilize or reduce tumor size, complemented by regular monitoring of CTCs to track treatment effectiveness.
Integrative Therapies for Circulating Tumor Cells
Timestamp: [00:47:32 - 00:52:24]
Dr. Rubin discusses the use of integrative and natural therapies for managing circulating tumor cells (CTCs).
He emphasizes caution in recommending specific treatments without understanding individual patient needs and contraindications.
Focuses on physician-guided treatments like intravenous vitamin C, which is highlighted for its multi-faceted role in cancer care.
Vitamin C is recognized for its anti-angiogenic properties, ability to strengthen tissue integrity, anti-inflammatory effects, and immune stimulation.
The effectiveness of IV vitamin C is dependent on dosage, frequency, and individual patient context.
Closing Remarks and Contact Information
Timestamp: [00:52:24 - 00:53:03]

01:25:59
Show notes at https://thesternmethod.com/debora-wayne/
Debora Wayne has always been sensitive to energy and vibrations. She was aware at a deep level of the information that passes through color, light, sound and energy. Major health issues led Debora to look for new skills and tools to rebuild her health. Through meditation she discovered energy healing, life force and intuition.
After this, Debora’s life changed. She had found her calling and went on to become a qualified energy healer and Reiki Master.
Debora is founder and director of The Biofield Healing Institute and her expertise is helping people all over the world to address the hidden causes of their health issues.
Teddy and I have seen first hand the powerful effects of Debora’s Biofield Healing Immersion method when she treated our son Ryder. Ever since I’ve wanted to do a segment on energy healing. Debora doesn’t disappoint, and there’s a special surprise at the end that even I didn’t know about!
We start by uncovering what energy healing really is and how Debora got into this area before moving on to energy healing for cancer and the different techniques available.
Debora surprised me when she offered to do a mini Biofield Healing Immersion session for listeners to wrap things up. Yes – the healing vibrations can be received just by listening – you don’t have to be there in person to get the benefits!
When we talk about energy medicine do we need a different mindset?
Thoughts and emotions release chemicals and effect our nervous and immune systems
Our energy field is based on understanding physics - light, energy, vibrations
We have everything within us to heal. We need to be taught how
What is ‘spirit’?
Spirituality and energy are different words the same concept
How does our inner environment influence our outer reality?
Inner = thoughts, emotions and energy
Negative emotions and feelings release chemicals
Choices become habits, habits become patterns
Our bodies are a physical expression of our inner feelings and emotions
Earlier tramas are relived as symptoms
Dr Liptondid extensive work on how thoughts and emotions manifest physically
Thoughts and emotions Influence blood chemistry and cellular membranes
Studies on stem cells and how their environment influences how they express themselves. We are no different – our environments impact us mentally, physically, emotionally
Intuition – are the answers within us?
Feelings are so important. Gut reaction, instincts, coincidence, nagging thoughts are clues
We are not taught to cultivate our intuitive sense
Intuition is a knowing. Often we let logic override our intuitive side or natural instincts
What is cancer from an energetic perspective?
All disease is a vibrational pattern that indicates disturbances in our energy field
By giving it a name or label we start to believe in it and give it power
We need to interrupt the pattern and restore harmony to the field
How important are physical toxicity and the toxic threshold?
Everything is energy. Everything that we are exposed to – fumes, chemicals etc has a different vibration
Our energy fields ‘collect’ these vibrations from our environment
Fastest way to clean out our energy field is by raising our vibrations through working energetically in our energy field
Results can be experienced very quickly, even instantaneous
‘21st Century high speed healing tools’
Minimise negative vibrations by continuously learn how to find and release them
Are all energetic healing methods the same? Reiki, emotion code, healing code, quantum touch etc all the same things?
Debora is a reiki master. Now uses Biofield Healing Immersion
All methods have different techniques
Biofield Healing Immersion (BHI) is not a technique, it’s about accessing a state of consciousness
Trains people to access galactic wave lengths (high vibrational frequencies)
GDV (Gas Discharge Visualization) Device that illustrates energy fields around the body showed a 51% increase in energy and decrease in pain symptoms in one of Debora’s BHI sessions
Stage 4 breast cancer patient declared cancer free within a month of working with Debora using BHI
Debora has used many other techniques but has never seen these results before
Ryan, Teddy and Ryder’s energy work with Debora
Ryder complained of a cold sensation in his lower back where his tumor was
After working with Debora he stopped complaining of a cold back
Children are more in touch with how they feel. We don’t always know how to interpret these feelings
BHI helps achieve a deeper meditative state – a self healing, parasympathetic state
Improvements in Ryder’s cognitive ability, comprehension and speech
Patients who combine BHI and chemo report improved energy, decreased pain and more energy
Can the healing vibrations be transmitted by recording?
Yes. Debora does a short BHI session for listeners
Be safe: no driving, operating machinery etc. Make sure you are sitting down in a safe place
If you feel pressure on temples or even nausea this is a sign the vibrations are being absorbed
Helps to calm the mind
Fall into meditative state very quickly

Megan is a certified Emotion Code Practitioner, author of two books on healing, a reiki healer, and mom to 3. After suffering from years with anxiety, panic disorder, chronic stress, food intolerances, adrenal fatigue, and an auto-immune disease, she went on a journey to health - spending over 10 years researching, experimenting, and finally figuring out all the unique tools she needed to naturally heal herself.
And yes, for all of you that listen to every show you did hear a couple tweaks to my little opening I say every time there most notably dropping the part about the show being for people going through cancer by people going through cancer. Partly because I’ve been feeling in general it didn’t quite properly encapsulate the what we’re trying to do with the show but more so we realized that we didn’t really want to be projecting onto ourselves that we’re going through cancer and we certainly don’t want to be projecting it onto you just for listening to this show so it’s out of there. Fun fact for its first couple months in existence our side was called my kid HAS cancer until someone reached out and pointed out that if our plan was for our son NOT to have cancer then perhaps it wasn’t the wisest thing to name our website.***
***Same sort of thing here and it ties in nicely with the content of today’s interview come to think of it! That and with Teddy’s segment of the show coming out soon an making a supercharged anticancer life work for your whole family this is probably not the last change in the very near future you’ll see in how we go about everything so please pardon the dust during construction as the saying goes.***
getting past blood work and labs down to the energetic core of health problems and how to remove them with Megan Buer the founder of Harmony Restored, a company focused on helping individuals heal from the stress that is at the root of their physical and emotional pain. Megan is a certified Emotion Code Practitioner, author of two books on healing, a reiki healer, and mom to 3. After suffering from years with anxiety, panic disorder, chronic stress, food intolerances, adrenal fatigue, and an auto-immune disease, she went on a journey to health – Definitely one of the definitely one of the best tangible explanations of what energy work is and how it relates to physical health I’ve heard in quite a while. Please do not overlook this everybody. You know we’re really big on covering our bases and making sure we’re addressing all the different theories of cancer and systems in the body and this at least in a lot of cases really could underlie all of them. And to be honest this is an area we ourselves have been lacking in which is why I was so excited to get Megan on in the first place and why I’m even more excited to be starting her course and sharing our experience with you!***You might have seen what we did recently documenting our experience doing Robyn Openshaw’s twenty six day detox to start the year. We had such a good time doing it and making those videos and get such a great response from it that we’ve been on the lookout for the next big thing we can undertake and share along the way to meaningfully improve our family’s health and make sure cancer stays in the rearview for all of us and when I started talking to Megan I knew this was it so we’re excited to be jumping in and I hope you consider joining us.***

Anti-Cancer Therapies: Gut Healing, Hyperthermia, Ozone & Oxygen Therapy | Marcus Freudenmann & Ryan Sternagel
01:17:31
full show notes at https://thesternmethod.com/marcus-freudenmann/
Producer of the documentary “Cancer is Curable Now” and director of the Truly Heal Academy, Marcus Freudenmann has dedicated his life to educating practitioners and the public on ‘cause finding’ and alternative cancer therapies. Through his academy and training programs Marcus teaches how to treat cancer patients without treating cancer.
Marcus’ dream is to build a bridge between holistic and conventional medicine, based on trust, compassion, accountability, comprehensive knowledge and understanding.
Ryan was stoked to get Marcus Freudenmann on the show as unbeknownst to Marcus, his work holds a special place in Teddy and Ryan’s journey. Just days after receiving Ryder’s diagnosis they watched the documentary “Cancer is Curable Now” as they scrambled to learn all they could about cancer and every alternative treatment available.
In this episode Marcus tells of his journey travelling the world with his family to uncover the ‘cure’ for cancer. He thought he had reached a dead end until one particular doctor completely changed his thinking. Marcus realised it wasn’t the ‘cure’ he needed to find, but rather the cause. This became Marcus’ life’s mission and he’s since developed a framework for identifying and treating the patient, not the cancer. Marcus explains that it’s about what you remove, not what you add that kick starts the healing process. Ryan and Marcus also take a deeper dive into some of the treatments that Marcus recommends including hyperthermia and ozone therapies.
Thank you for making your documentary and attempting to put all the pieces together to show people a better way...
Marcus was an architect until a friend was diagnosed with cancer
The conventional process shocked and frightened Marcus. It became the catalyst that changed the direction of his life
He embarked on a global tour to film a documentary about alternative treatments to cancer, interviewing hundreds of experts
When another friend was diagnosed with cancer, Marcus recommended the best alternative treatments available. Nothing worked
He consulted leading alternative doctors asking why there was so much hype around treatments that didn't work
Came down to hope and patients wanting to believe in a cure
Marcus felt like giving up
He conducted his final interview for the documentary with Dr Rau from Paracelsus Clinic in Switzerland
Dr Rau told him he was asking the wrong questions
First ask “Why does the patient have the disease?” and second “Why does his body not deal with the disease?”
This changed the focus of Marcus’ work from the cure to the cause
It’s not about what we give the patient, but what we remove – not what we start, but what we stop doing
I'd love to hear more about your process of working with folks
Visited 114 clinics, spoke to 200 doctors, scientists, researchers
Some focus on mental/emotional factors, some on hormones, others on gut repair and diet
Problem most face is there is such a broad spectrum of causes of cancer
Children with cancer inherit their parents toxicity, DNA and lifestyle
In India children developed tumors from inherited toxicity from chemicals their parents working in the fabric industry were exposed to
How do you pick through what's going on with people?
Take people on a journey to tick off potential causes / factors
Treat the patient not the disease
Once on the right track the whole body begins to heal
Marcus’ friend began to heal through a treatment protocol that focused on removing things, not adding more:
First removed metal teeth fillings. Tumor progression halted
Next repaired detox pathways through anti-inflammatory diet
Then ozone and hyperthermia
Daily saunas and mud baths pull out toxins through skin
Marcus’ focus is on finding underlying problems. A list of over 200 questions
What was the trigger for your own gut issues?
Heavy metals in gut lining
Mercury fillings removed incorrectly
Experienced severe brain fog
Body was so toxic needed four years of detoxification and chelation
With ozone therapy he started to fully recover
It's about supporting our immune systems, emotions and how we live our lives
Multiple solutions and methodologies. Often more than one is needed to get results
Hyperthermia
Can be a driver of big transformation
Heat shock proteins produced when fever is induced
Normal cells thrive in heat, cancer cells do not
Induce fever for 1-2 hours and bone marrow produces white blood cells
These are flushed into blood system to hunt out cancer cells
What is the difference between a standard infrared sauna and what you might find in a clinic?
Sauna is external heat to make you sweat – good for pulling out toxins through the skin
Hypothermia is the process of inducing artificial fever. Your core temperature is raised
Expensive treatment to do via a clinic. Marcus developed an at-home product called the Hyperthermia Dome
What’s the difference between the dome and a sauna?
The Dome produces long wave far infrared heat that penetrates deeper and heats up blood vessels quicker
Raises core temperature to 101.3-101.8F within 30-40 minutes
Once you reach this temperature you need to stay there for 1-2 hours for it to be effective
Traditional saunas don’t get core temperature high enough or quick enough
More information at hyperthermiaacademy.com
What treatments have you found that give the most bang for buck?
Treatments must satisfy the following criteria:
Stand the test of time
Supported by lots of research
Used in every reputable alternative clinic across the world
Main treatments Marcus recommends: Hyperthermia, ozone, PEMF for detox, excessive sport for detox
Treatments alone have limited results unless complemented with other treatments, supplements, systemic health etc
Money is a big factor for cancer patients! Treatments are very expensive. Ryan and Teddy are developing a course for people going through cancer, and one of the areas the course focuses on is how to raise money to fund treatments.
The final word from Marcus
Disease is a sign we are heading in the wrong direction. Use these signals as a motivator to live a better life
Building community is important. Share healing tools and devices with your friends, family and neighbours to spread the financial burden

And it is only fitting that doctor Anderson is our first second time full length interview here on Integrative Answers to cancer.
I say full length interview because we did have doctor Ed Group back on recently to finish his two part miniseries on water fasting answering all of your questions and if you haven’t caught that one definitely go back and check it out but as far as a full length solitary interview doctor Anderson is our first repeat guest which is awesome because he just so also happens to be the naturopathic oncologist that saw us through the most difficult time of Ryder’s recovery from cancer right at the start.
And back then four years ago now I was incredibly impressed at the way he was able to answer all of my questions on literally everything I had managed to scour off the internet before seeing him, and that was a lot.
After we moved states we lost touch for a little while and we had some rather disappointing experiences with other naturopathic doctors and then when I started to go to integrative cancer conferences to learn everything I could for Ryder and all of you as our online presence started to grow I came to see he was actually the one teaching all the other doctors at these conferences so they all had some pretty big shoes to fill with us as it turned out!

023: How Jessica Reversed Her Son's Stage IV Wilm's Tumor after Conventional Treatments Failed
01:02:39
***NEW SEGMENT!!!*** Every Thursday tune in for a new My Kid Cures Cancer THRIVER STORIES where we feature a new family that has rocked an integrative approach to cancer. This could mean they were either saved by alternative treatments after conventional ones failed or used a complementary approach to improve outcomes and reduce side effects. Tune in for the live interview every Monday at 6 PM MT or catch the recording on the My Kid Cures Cancer podcast or on the My Kid Cures Cancer YouTube channel the following Thursday.
We had literally just been discussing starting this segment when we got the following message from warrior mom Jessica Stone and knew SHE needed to be the first interview for this segment!
I started following your story and My Kid Cures Cancer last December when my 6 year old son with stage IV Wilms was told his only option after nearly 18 months of chemo and radiation was a stem cell transplant. I also read Cancer-Free and China Study and implemented a vegan diet, supplements, and infrared therapy. We never got that stem cell transplant and he is 10 months cancer free! He had his port removed in late July and hasn't even had a cold since we started in January. So your kid literally saved my kid’s life! I would love to share my story for all the cancer moms out there who feel helpless. Thank you for getting out there and spreading the word!!!!
This was an incredible interview we hope you enjoy and get as much inspiration from as we did!!

Metabolic Therapies, Keto vs. Gerson, Mature Cancer Cells, Using DCA: Dr. Paul Anderson
As it relates directly to this podcast and everything we do online the other thing that’s happened to us recently which I believe I did mention in the intro to the last episode before we went dark was our son Ryder’s own MRI not going exactly the way we wanted it. He’s got a remaining mass on the inside of and around his spine that everyone was pretty well convinced was just dead scar tissue at this point but a portion on the outside of the spine had grown a bit over the past year since his last scan.
So, with that, everything we’ve done online has been a result of our son being diagnosed with cancer in the first place obviously and documenting what we learn along the way but with this MRI this is getting taken to the next level. So a lot of what you see and hear us do is going to be directly recording conversation we’re having or actions we’re taking pertaining to Ryder’s healing. As that relates to this podcast specifically you’re going to hear actual conversations we’re having with naturopathic doctors and healers of all kinds in addition to the more classical style of interviews you’re used to and that is what we have here for this episode today.
Doctor Paul Anderson makes his third appearance on the show right after being the first ever second time guest but this time it’s in a more consultative role picking up where he left off as Ryder’s original and best I might add naturopathic oncologist.

[00:10:17] She shares insights on the efficacy of integrative therapies for adult colon cancer, with new studies indicating comparable outcomes between chemotherapy and lifestyle changes for stage three colon cancer.
Challenges in Integrative Treatment Adoption
[00:11:33] There is a discussion on the difficulties families face when considering integrative approaches, particularly when there is disagreement within the family about the treatment path.
Underappreciated Integrative Strategies
[00:14:48] Dr. Beine points out two underutilized integrative strategies: fasting during IV chemotherapy or radiation to protect healthy cells, and the importance of gut healing post-conventional treatment to aid recovery and resilience.
Personal and Professional Insights
[00:16:36] Dr. Beine candidly shares her perspective on the necessity of chemotherapy in treating acute pediatric leukemia based on her daughter's experience and her professional observations.
Integrative Approaches to Colon Cancer
[00:18:39] Nutrition and detoxification, particularly from environmental toxins like glyphosate, are highlighted as pivotal for colon cancer treatment.
[00:19:26] Dr. Beine recommends mistletoe therapy, specifically M. Mali mistletoe, as an effective treatment for colon cancer, mentioning success stories within the community.
Personalized Nutrition for Cancer Patients
[00:20:17] Emphasizes a diet free from processed foods and bad oils, rich in vegetables, healthy fats, and potentially low or no grains, tailored to individual patient needs.
[00:21:53] Stresses the importance of individualized diet plans based on a patient's unique situation and genetic makeup.
Ozone Therapy in Cancer Treatment
[00:21:54] Ozone therapy is suggested as a beneficial treatment for bladder cancer, with the potential for injections directly into the bladder.
[00:25:46] Rectal ozone therapy is also endorsed for gut healing and potentially for rectal cancers.
Mistletoe Therapy for Pediatric Osteosarcoma
[00:23:06] A study showing mistletoe therapy's success in treating relapsed pediatric osteosarcoma is discussed, with a significant survival rate in contrast to chemotherapy alone.

Improving Neutropenia Levels
[00:35:34] Dr. Beine recommends low dose naltrexone (LDN) as an immune modulator for cancer patients, noting its low cost and side effects.
[00:36:39] She also endorses mistletoe therapy for its ability to enhance T-cell function and potentially reduce the duration of neutropenia.
LDN and Mistletoe Therapy Administration
[00:36:57] For cancer patients, LDN should be pulsed—taken for four days and then discontinued for three days after reaching a maintenance dose.
Desired Treatment Addition: Hyperthermia
[00:37:30] Dr. Beine expresses a wish to include hyperthermia treatment in her practice, recognizing its effectiveness but noting the legal and practical limitations in the U.S.
Detoxifying from Glyphosate
[00:38:34] Discusses the challenge of detoxing from glyphosate, emphasizing relocation, sauna use, and specific binders like CellCore HMET for detoxification, and quercetin to aid in processing glyphosate due to its water solubility.
Integrative Oncology Resources
[00:41:05] She cautions against relying on standard databases for checking interactions between medications and supplements, suggesting instead personal experience, mentor guidance, and naturopathic oncology literature as more reliable resources.
Diet Recommendations for Brain Cancer
[00:43:52] Advocates for therapeutic ketosis in brain cancer treatment, differentiating it from nutritional ketosis by its metabolic therapy approach and the need for high levels of ketones.
Use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
[00:45:14] Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is recommended with caution, suggested for use with active disease only if the patient is in ketosis, otherwise for post-treatment healing processes.
Opinion on RGCC Testing

Cannabis for Cancer, Low Dose vs High Dose, THC vs CBD only | Dr Allan Frankel & Ryan Sternagel
01:00:09
Full show notes @ https://thesternmethod.com/allan-frankel
Dr. Allan Frankel is one of the world’s leading authorities on dosed cannabis medicine.
He started his career as a traditional doctor, but after an extremely serious health issue was reversed when friends introduced Dr Frankel to medical cannabis, he began researching the plant and its healing properties. In 2007 he sold his practice and became a cannabis doctor.
Now Dr. Frankel applies his knowledge of all aspects of the cannabis plant and its therapeutic value to the treatment of cancer and other serious medical conditions.
Cannabis has been widely shown to improve a cancer patient’s quality of life. In this episode, Dr Frankel gives me the run down on how he provides dosed, predictable cannabis medicine to his patients to help them manage the side effects of conventional treatment. Plus he shares the specific formula he uses to calculate the right dosage.
We discuss the anti-cancer properties of cannabis along with Dr Frankel’s own clinical experience of cannabis as an effective cancer treatment. We talk specifically about the benefits of whole plant cannabis vs isolates, and how the cannabinoids tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) can help manage pain, treat nausea and vomiting, and treat the anxiety that goes along with fighting cancer.
So if you’re considering adding cannabis to your alternative treatment protocol, this episode is a must-see.
What led you to become a cannabis doctor? Was it your intention to work with cancer patients?
Got a virus that went to his heart and was given 6 months to live without a heart transplant
Went to LA and friends introduced him to cannabis plants which immediately improved his mood and reduced anxiety. Within weeks he was running up the stairs
After this experience, started studying cannabis and its medicinal properties.
Are you seeing mostly cancer patients?
About a third are cancer patients
The dosing for anti-cancer is based on treating side effects of chemo
Dr Frankel follows low dose protocol used in clinical trials. Total of 130mg daily (30-40mg of CBD, THC, THCA and CBD A)
Acid molecules (THCA and CBDA) are gaining more attention due to specific anti-cancer properties
What’s the difference between hemp and cannabis?
The level of THC. Cannabis contains more than 0.3% THC, hemp is 0.3% or less
Dr Frankel recommends using the whole plant rather than stripping out a single molecule
Is oil the only option when it comes to therapeutic use of cannabis?
Salves can be used for pain and neuropathy
30mg or more of whole plant CBD to prevent neuropathy
THCV reverses neuropathy
30-40mg daily of each of the four cannabinoids is a good all round anti-cancer, anti-pain, anti-nausea treatment
Can you explain the dosing in more depth?
The actual THC or CBD in 1 gram of cannabis oil is around 750gm. The other 250mg is made up of other cannabinoids
DIY Formula to produce a reliable dosing tincture of 20mg per milliliter
You have 750mg or 75% CBD oil
If you want to take 20mg CBD a day then divide 750 by 20
Take this amount of a thin oil like MCT, coconut or olive oil and dissolve your ‘gram’ of CBD oil in it
You now have 20 mg of CBD per milliliter of your oil mix
Take ½ a milliliter 3 times per day
More cost effective to dose this way
If we have an internal cannabinoid system, does this mean we should regularly consume them?
Endocannabinoid system was developed 1.2 billion years ago, well before the plant-based cannabinoid system (fibrocannabiods)
Any species with a spine has an endocannabinoid system
The effects of cannabinoids on the endocannabinoid system can be measured
Anandamide, one of the components of our endocannabinoid system helps monitor and control cancer.
Cannabinoids can bump up our endocannabinoid system and this promotes cell apoptosis, autophagy etc of cancer cells
Most common symptoms of endocannabinoid deficiency is migraines, bowel problems. Fibromyalgia, anxiety, disrupted sleep. More common in females
What type of cancer patients do you see?
Most patients are on conventional treatment protocols alongside cannabis
Ballpark of patients who do well on cannabis alone would be 2 out of 3
Lower dose chemotherapy combined with cannabis to mitigate side effects and toxicity
Can cannabis prevent long-term chemotherapy side effects?
THCV can prevent and reverse neuropathy
CBD is protective of the brain and kidneys
What is THCV?
Only available in California
Raises your mood - treats depression
Mix with THC to treat migraines.
Shown a reduction in symptoms and ability to stop progression of parkinsons in animal studies

Circulating Tumor Cells | Dr. Dan Rubin | Ryan Sternagel

show notes @ https://thesternmethod.com/circulatingtumorcells/
KEY TAKEAWAYS
1.
What are CTCs and what do they mean?
Cells from a collection of cancer cells, tumor or metastatic deposit
Sometime seen on scans but not always
Circulate in the blood or lymphatic tissues
Can only test for the CTC in blood. Need biopsy to detect in lymphatic tissue
The presence of CTCs doesn’t necessarily indicate metastatic cancer
CTCs don’t live very long in the blood – persistent CTC is cause for concern
Cancer spreads in two ways
Metastasize (means “evil spread”) - cells travel via blood vessels
Direct invasion - cells invade the tissues and then access lymphatic system or blood stream
What to look for in CTC testing
Only available for certain cancers – ovarian, pancreatic, colon, lung, breast, prostate
Looking for two different populations of CTCs- cytokeratin(CK)-positive and CK-negative
➔ CK is an anchor molecule for cells
➔ CK-negative cells are cells that have down regulated their CK and can leave the
tissue space to ‘circulate’ as a CTC
➔ CK-positive cells are rarely found in CTC tests unless through trauma or if the tumor is invasive
➔ CK-negative cells can revert back to CK-positive and “anchor in” to a new tissue site
Test results provide highly individual information about that person’s specific tumor
Can also see some markers you’d see on pathology specimens - things that sit on the surface of cells such as androgen and estrogen receptors

When to test for CTCs
At diagnosis and before treatment, when cancer is the highest
During treatment to gauge therapeutic response
Post treatment testing to determine if cancer is still present or to identify recurrences
What to do with CTC test results
Depends on the patient – their history, the cancer, how aggressive, treatment proto- cols undertaken. Every situation/person is different
Run other lab tests to look at supporting factors in the blood and fix those: ➔ Inflammatory markers ➔ Cell markers ➔ Immune markers
➔ Tissue markers
➔ Hormones
➔ Tissues at risk – liver, lung, bones
➔ Nutrient levels
➔ Vitamin D – 25-Hydroxy and 1,25-Dihydroxy
➔ Look at lifestyle – diet, toxins, air, water
Goal is to shut down the flow of CTC into the blood

Dr. Robert Morse stops by to make us rethink everything we thought we knew about disease, and consider that health may just be much simpler than we’ve been making it out to be.
In This Episode:
To truly understand cancer and all other chronic illness we really just need a firm grasp on the lymphatic system and the two sides of chemistry.
A very easy way to tell how good of a job our liver and kidneys are doing of filtering out waste and what to do about it if not.
Humans need to understand they are really frugivores, primarily fruit eaters, and that eating the wrong foods has greatly contributed to our health problems.
The difference between fructose and glucose and talked about where they fit in to the understanding that cancer cells use sugar for energy.
Contrasting a diet high in fruits and vegetables with the ketogenic diet specifically within the context of cancer.
The crucial nature of the adrenals in cancer.
Herbs as God and nature’s ultimate healer.

Can Stress Cause Cancer? | Dr Lise Alschuler & Ryan Sternagel
01:22:38
full show notes @ https://thesternmethod.com/lise-alschuler
Lise Alschuler is a naturopathic doctor with board certification in naturopathic oncology. She is the co-author of a book I highly recommend called The Definitive Guide to Cancer. She co-created iTHRIVE, a cancer survivorship programme and co-hosts a radio show, Five To Thrive Live! on the Cancer Support Network.
In 2008, Dr. Lise was diagnosed with breast cancer. She integrated natural supplements, diet, exercise and other lifestyle changes throughout her treatment and is 10 years cancer free! She now incorporates the learnings of her own, firsthand experience into her work to help others facing the challenges of this disease.
The topic of this podcast is one that’s particularly close to home for Teddy and I. When Teddy was pregnant with Ryder, she experienced immense amounts of stress from a negative work environment. We often wonder about the impact this stress had on our son and if it was responsible, at least in part, for his cancer. So it’s a topic I was really excited to explore, and there’s no one better to do this with than Dr. Lise Alschuler.
In this episode Dr. Lise explains the potential negative effects that stress can have on the body, including cancer progression and relapse, and what we can do to mitigate stress and anxiety in our lives.
What led you to becoming a naturopathic doctor specializing in cancer?
Took an undergrad class at medical school. Many people diagnosed with cancer shared their journey
Each person was unique, authentic, honest, courageous
Wanted to treat these kinds of people, so decided to get into oncology
Passion was in integrative medicine. Pulled out of medical school to study naturopathic medicine
Offered position at cancer hospital and discovered integrative oncology
Fascinated with the transformative element that a cancer diagnosis invokes in people
Dr. Lise’s father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Lived past his prognosis using integrative oncology
Two years later Dr. Lise was diagnosed with breast cancer and experienced integrative oncology firsthand
She felt healthy throughout conventional treatment despite side effects
Can you talk to the importance of mindset and effective stress mitigation strategies?
We often try to create linear relationship between cause and effect
Cancer is multifactorial – can't appoint blame to any one thing
Take control of what we can. Modify our relationship to stress
Latest research shows correlation between high levels of stress and cancer progression or recurrence, rather than initial diagnosis
Cancer rates increase amongst individuals who have experienced significant stressors in their lives e.g. death of loved one or marriage break up
Cancer cells have been growing for 10-20 years before they get large enough to be identified as a tumor. Stress can accelerate what's already present
Stress is just one factor behind tumor acceleration
All changeable through stress modification
What are you finding on the relationship between stress and prognosis?
Studies look at impact of the biomarkers of stress on cancer patient outcomes
Study on advanced breast cancer patients
Divided study participants by their circadian rhythms – healthy circadian patterns indicative of a healthy stress response
Study showed women with flat circadian rhythms had chronic stress and died sooner – highly statistically significant. Had less immune function
Cortisol suppresses our natural killer cells and other essential bodily functions
Similar results seen on studies of people with colon and lung cancer
The importance of social networks
Feeling socially isolated has a negative effect on prognosis
Not the quantity but the quality of connections with others
How do we know if it’s mental or external stressors behind the disruption of circadian rhythm as opposed to environmental influences e.g exposure to too much blue light?
Inflammatory cytokines are elevated throughout the body when there is a constant stress response
When stress mitigation strategies are implemented a positive change seen in circadian rhythms and inflammatory cytokines reduced
“Psychological wellbeing is like a firehose on inflammatory cytokines”
Note for parents of young children
Clear link between early childhood stress and adult susceptibility to cancer
An elevated stress response system becomes hardwired
Start stress modification techniques early e.g. meditation through guided imagery, creative play, good rest
How do you counsel people to get their mental well being under control?
Step back and look at the bigger picture – where is identifiable stress coming from?
What you change to bring more of yourself into the world in a positive way?
Other factors:
Sleep – enough, quality, hygiene, light exposure in the morning
Melatonin controls circadian rhythms and sleep. Often deficient in people with chronic disease
Aren’t there negative effects of supplementing something your body produces naturally?
Melatonin has a very short halflife. We don’t habituate to it
Melatonin has anti-cancer properties and is a potent antioxidant. Restores health of the pineal gland, reenabling melatonin production
In theory the body could develop resistance to melatonin. Long term users should take breaks and adjust dosage
Long-term use of any supplementation poses risks in terms of resistance
With kids, be conservative with anything in the hormone category
Back to stress mitigation strategies
Avoid sleep medication if you have cancer. Try a natural first
Regular, daily, vigorous exercise at the edge of your fitness
What would say to someone going through conventional treatment where the last thing they feel like doing is exercise?
Still need to exercise but drop the intensity
General rule of thumb: recovery time after exercise should be no more than half the exercise time when on treatment. If longer to recover then over doing it
If lost muscle mass tai chi, yoga, walking are better options
To reduce anxiety, Dr Lise recommends L-theanine (in particular, products containing Suntheanine) and lavender extract. Silexan is a lavender oil formula that is used in supplements. Dr Lise recommends a Nature's Way product.
Mindfulness and meditation
Mindfulness starts with breathing. Exercises like the 4, 7, 8 breath
Great meditation apps. 10 minute guided meditations

Fake Alternative Cancer Treatments? GcMAF, Fake Rife Machines, Hulda Clarke, Baking Soda, Protocel, Marshall Protocol | Dr Keith Scott Mumby
01:17:13
I get Dr Keith’s take on cancer and the best way to address it before we explore some of the more questionable anti-cancer protocols that I’ve come across in the quest to help my son Ryder on his healing journey.
We take a look under the hood of Protocel, GcMAF, Hulda Regehr Clark’s Zappers, the Marshall Protocol, Sodium Bicarbonate Protocol and fake Rife machines. You don’t want to miss this one.
“Every good health measure is an anti-cancer measure”
Cancer is a wake up call
Three fundamentals:
Nutrition - offload all of your ‘bad’ foods for you
Emotional detox - often a trama or shock before cancer diagnosis. References the work of Dr Hayma.
Reduce chemical load - reduce chemical exposure
“You don’t need zero of everything to see a result” but you must make changes to address the root cause of the cancer
Starting points for physical & emotional detox?
Punk psychology is a technique
MIN - Make It Now
Your memory is ‘plastic’ - change the impact of a memory and your relationship to it by reliving it in the right way
Remove toxins from your life
The nose survey - go around your house and sniff - if you can smell it it can make you sick
Eat organic. Evidence shows organic food has a powerful impact on health
Séralini and a group of French Scientists fed rats glyphosate and GMO food and they developed huge tumors
How do you assess the validity of alternative cancer treatments?
Testimonials are not science - you can get well while taking something but not necessarily because of taking something
Anything that seems dangerous, ineffective or obscenely expensive should be a red flag
Kerala Institute in Sweden showed 20% of breast cancers will go into remission without any treatment
Dr Hyman - cancer has a purpose. It’s there for a reason. The body is trying to fix something
Protocol 1 debunked: Cancell / Cantron / Protocel
Combination of highly toxic substances including sulphuric acid and nitric acid
False science around its effectiveness
These chemicals are highly toxic - yes they will kill cancer cells in a petri dish - they will kill anything!
People have died from taking it. Don’t do anything that is clearly going to hurt you
Protocol 2 debunked:GcMAF
Beware of science from anyone trying to sell you something
The study was dishonest. The people who developed it have a warrant out for their arrest
Nothing showing its effectiveness, especially when compared to Dr Keith’s three fundamentals
Protocol 3 debunked: Hulda Regehr Clark’s Zapper
Exploited patients by charging $30K for things they could do themselves
Her book claims she cured 100 consecutive cases of cancer but in all of these cases Hulda was the person who diagnosed the cancer and pronounced the patient cured
Developed a parasite zapper to cure cancer
Dr Keith believes Hulda was influenced by her own condition - she had a particular rare parasite and so she saw that in everyone she treated
Irreversible electroporation is Royal Rife technology that’s gone mainstream
Protocol 4 debunked: The Marshall Protocol
Documented science showing Vitamin D has incredibly powerful anti-cancer properties
The Marshall Protocol advocates avoiding Vitamin D in any form which is dangerous for anyone with cancer
Vitamin D, C and glutathione are essential for cancer support
Joe Mercola wrote an article expressing his views against the The Marshall Protocol
Protocol 5 debunked: Sodium Bicarbonate Protocol
Fungus can thrive when immune system and so does cancer - doesn’t mean Candida causes cancer
Loading the body with bicarbonate is dangerous
The body needs PH of around 7.3. The body will maintain this so it puts undue strain on kidneys
Alkalising the body doesn’t cure cancer
Emanuel Revici studied the metabolic aspects of cancer. Discovered two kinds of people - those who benefit from alkalization and those who benefit from acidization. If you don’t know what group you’re in your going to harm yourself.
William Kelley Eidem sums up Revici’s work in his book The Doctor that Cures Cancer
Nature knows what she’s doing. Stand back and get out of the way.
Protocol 6 debunked: Fake Rife Machines
Most ‘Rife’ machines are missing critical carrier wave frequencies. They have only audio frequencies and that’s not enough
You can add carrier wave technology to something like the Beema 3000
The GB4000 is what we use. This device has carrier frequencies and is a model Dr Keith would recommend

003: Why Don’t Doctors Use Natural Cancer Treatments?? (And How to Use Homeopathy!): Robert Scott Bell
01:39:47
Robert Scott Bell dives deep into the history of the medical system and gives a very thorough explanation of just why it is that doctors today a largely in the dark when it comes to natural healing, and also demystifies homeopathy and how we can use it!
In This Episode:
Robert talked at length about his views on the root cause of cancer and disease in general and the “law of the terrain.”
He spoke about the many chronic health issues he had as a child and how only when he became rooted in certain spiritual principles was he able to receive and incorporate the information on natural health he needed to heal himself.
Robert tells about how amazingly in the medical system of early America if you were an aspiring doctor you were just as likely to go to a homeopathic or naturopathic medical school as you were one that taught the use of petrochemical pharmaceuticals and how it came to be that this is no longer the case
He explains how it is that doctors of today manage to stay so well insulated from information on natural health along with his contention that an objective look at the state of affairs in the country today would reveal that modern medicine has become the new state sanctioned religion.
We went into all things homeopathy and Robert broke down the principles of homeopathy for us in a way that we can understand, how we can start to find the right one for our condition and how they can be incorporated into a healing protocol including for cancer and including for use on children which is of course a topic very close to me
Host of “The Robert Scott Bell Show” and in broadcast media since 1999, Robert covers news stories in the health, political and economic worlds for 2 hours each day, 6 days a week on the Genesis Communications Network. His bottom line is bringing the freedom and power to heal back to the people, where it belongs.

In 2011 Bailey was diagnosed with stage 4 inoperable melanoma and was told she had just a few months to live. Bailey didn't agree. After researching alternative options she radically changed her diet and jumped on a plane to Mexico for treatment and never looked back.
8 years later Bailey is cancer-free and is now helping others through their integrative cancer journeys.
Bailey is an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and a Certified Square One Cancer Coach. Her focus is on diet and lifestyle as the foundation to health and healing.
Bailey shares her incredible cancer journey starting from when she was first diagnosed with melanoma as a teenager to its recurrence 3 years later. In 2011, after multiple surgeries she was given the devastating news that her cancer was inoperable and she didn’t qualify for the latest new drug. Bailey felt hopeless. But with the help of friends and family she radically turned her life and health around and now inspire others with her amazing healing story.
Have you always been holistically inclined?
Studying dietetics as an undergrad
Didn’t agree with what being taught in nutrition classes
When working in conventional medicine, nutrition is secondary to pharmaceutical drugs
Believe in the power of nutrition as medicine
When healing from cancer food was the medicine
Is there a difference between what is learned to become a registered dietitian working as part of the conventional system compared to what we learn through ‘alternative’ channels like this?
Nutritionists and dieticians have mostly the right ideas
There are benefits of having first hand experience of healing through food
Conventional system can help with acute things like diabetes
Problems arise when the conventional system considers something ‘incurable’
What led to your diagnosis?
Was studying away from home
Fearful of the world and doing things on my own. Didn’t feel like I fit in
Very stressed and didn’t know how to deal with it. Started overeating
Sailing camp counselor - got a lot of sun exposure and sun burns
Used lots of toxic body products
After all your research, what’s your advice on sun exposure?
Sensible exposure - don’t get burnt, if you’re pale, be careful
Recommend non-nano zinc or titanium dioxide (although toxicity of titanium dioxide has come into question)
Recommends Badger Sunscreen
Regular sunscreen is full of toxic chemicals and can be more harmful than not wearing anything
Titanium Dioxide provides a physical barrier between sun and skin. The size of the particulars are important. Nanoparticles are small enough to get into the bloodstream. Look for non-nano sunscreen
Back to diagnosis...
Found a weird looking spot
Biopsy showed it was highly suspicious for a melanoma
DIdn’t know anything about cancer, just knew it was serious
Had surgery to remove legion and a tracer was injected to see where melanoma had spread
Tracer showed cancer had spread to lymph node near ear
More surgery, removed 45 lymph nodes from neck and parotid gland. Nodes removed were not positive
Given two options - do nothing or Interferon treatments (an older form of immunotherapy)
Opted for Interferon to help prevent a recurrence. Wasn’t doing anything else to support body in terms of diet and lifestyle
2 years later melanoma returned
Two more 2 surgeries to remove tumors plus a round of radiation treatment
Found another lump under chin that was melanoma
Scan showed another 5 lesions in neck lung and spine that were suspicious
Oncologist recommended Temodar (chemotherapy pill) and PABA (b-vitamin)
Was told cancer was very aggressive and had only months to live
Started looking at alternative treatments
Where did you start?
Took some supplements and did one round of Temodar and PABA
Tumor started to shrink
Went to CHIPSA in Mexico and started the Gerson Therapy, Coley’s Toxins, B17 injections and IV Vitamin C
When left Mexico lump had disappeared from under chin
Before went to Mexico saw an integrative oncologist / naturopathic doctor who prescribed modified citrus pectin, resveratrol, green tea extract and glutamine powder during radiation.
Recommended high protein diet organic diet with no sugar. Not the perfect diet but heading in the right direction
Gerson therapy
Lots of juicing, vegetables and carbohydrates
Cancer result of nutrient deficiency and toxins in the body
Coffee enemas to detox
Potassium powder
Self vs non-self immune system model
Danger model - immune system doesn’t respond to things that are foriegn but rather to things that look dangerous such as surgery or infections
Cancer cells can have a ‘cloaking’ effect to ‘hide’ from the immune system
Damage a cancer cell through chemo the immune system can recognise it and respond
Preserve your immune system through low dose chemo not high
Immunotherapy can also help with stubborn tumors
Coley’s Toxins
Mixture of two different bacteria injected intravenously, subcutaneously or intratumorally
To stimulate an immune response in the body that attacks the cancer
Often people who go into spontaneous remission have had an infection
Came home from Mexico and continued protocol:
Coley’s Toxin - 3 injections per week
Coffee enemas - 3 per day
Juices - 13 a day with iodine and potassium supplements
B vitamins - intramuscular injections once a week
2 months after Mexico went for scan - no sign of active disease
Did your Oncologist seem to believe in the alternative treatment?
Oncologist was so emotionless. Said “whatever you’re doing seems to be working so keep it up”
How do you guide others going through an integrative cancer journey?
Do your own research
There are somethings that people must do - diet, lifestyle and managing stress are the most important
Often people stop too soon. 18 months to 2 years minimum

008: Layman's Guide to the Metabolic Theory of Cancer: Travis Christofferson
01:14:12
Travis Chistofferson is on the show to make sure we understand exactly what the metabolic theory of cancer is and why it is so vitally important in preventing and reversing cancer. Travis’ book Tripping over the Truth was basically written for the exact purpose of taking Professor Thomas Seyfreid’s (episode 006) book Cancer as a Metabolic Disease which is more of a textbook converting it into something easier for the public to digest and give more of the backstory which is why it’s the very first book I recommend to anyone that really wants to understand cancer and how we got to where we are today.
In This Episode:
The metabolic theory of cancer itself and why it’s so important for anyone going through cancer to understand.
How cancer cells can actually turn back into healthy cells when if their metabolism is able to be corrected or if not how they can be weakened and killed off altogether with this approach.
The best dietary strategies and best known therapeutic interventions such as the ketogenic diet and oxidative therapies.
Travis’s thoughts on the success of approaches such as the Gerson Therapy which are high in sugars and antioxidants.
The history of modern cancer treatment going back to Otto Warburg who first put this viewpoint out there back in the mid 1900’s and how it is that we’ve managed to get so wrapped up genes and really miss the forest for the trees.
Epigenetics and how we should look at them in light of the metabolic theory of cancer.
Travis Christofferson is a graduate of the Montana State Honors Program in molecular biology. He received the Nelson Fellowship for "outstanding undergraduate research", and continued graduate research in bioremediation and cancer theory culminating in an M.S. in Material Engineering and Science from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology.***
He is a science writer and the author of the book Tripping Over the Truth: The Metabolic Theory of Cancer. The book offers a historical perspective on the reemerging metabolic theory of cancer -- a theory that contends cancer is precipitated and driven by damage to mitochondria.

Homeopathy & Homeopathic Medicine for Cancer | Dr Carol Lourie & Ryan Sternagel
01:20:43
Full show notes @ https://thesternmethod.com/carol-lourie
Dr. Carol Lourie is a Naturopath, Licensed Acupuncturist, Homeopath and Functional Medicine Expert who has been working in the field of integrative and natural health care for over 30 years. Carol takes a whole-person approach to healing using integrative tools that leverage the innate healing abilities of body, mind, and spirit.
I’ve been trying to get Dr. Carol Lourie on the show for a while now but for whatever reason, the stars didn’t align. Well I can tell you, it was worth the wait! I brought Carol on to talk about homeopathy and cancer but we ended up talking about so much other good stuff that’s sure to help you on your own healing journey.
We talk about various fasting protocols to help improve the effectiveness of chemo AND protect your healthy cells AND reduce nausea! We look at homeopathic remedies to reduce the side effects of chemo and radiation, and Carol shares some of the supplement brands she uses in her clinical practice. Plus you’ll get some great recipes for healing smoothies and Bieler’s broth. It’s action-packed!
Is there a reason you’ve honed in on cancer?
Carol has lost family members to cancer
She looked after a friend going through cancer treatment. Over18 months every appointment
Saw first hand what her friend went through and where she could help with her naturopathic skills
Began studying the enormous complex topic of cancer
Studied with Donnie Yance of the Mederi Foundation
Specialized in breast cancer
What conferences were you at recently?
Society of Integrative Oncology – Carol presented on intermittent fasting in clinic practice
Attended Advanced Applications in Medical Practice put on by Dr Paul Anderson
Dr Weber from Germany talked about using laser therapy to treat cancer
Uses very thin needles in the skin to apply the laser similar to acupuncture
You are a naturopathic doctor who focuses on cancer but you also have a homeopathy specialty…
Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician, discovered homeopathy in late 1800’s.
Started experimenting with sulfur, phosphorus etc which he diluted until just the energy of the compound remained
This process makes homeopathy very safe. It won’t interfere with other treatments
Oncologists can be resistant to anything they perceive may interfere with chemotherapy
Carol aims for a positive relationship with her patients’ conventional oncologists
Advises her patients to follow this protocol around chemo infusions:
2 days before infusion stop supplements and start intermittent fasting
One day after infusion start intermittent fasting
2 days after, no supplements – just bone broth and Bieler’s broth
If you don’t get along with your oncologist, find a new one
What is Bieler’s broth?
In the 70’s Carol’s friend underwent a huge amount of radiation therapy for cancer before being told nothing more could be done for her
Found a chiropractor in New York who used Iridology detoxifying diet
Introduced Carol to blended salads and Bieler’s broth
Bieler’s broth recipe:
Green beans, zucchini, white cabbage, parsley celery, leaks, onions
Cook up and blend. No salt or pepper
Basic environment in the body as opposed to acidic. Cancer and disease love acidic environment
Less inflammation
Blended salad recipe:
Equal amounts of tomato, red pepper, celery, cucumber and lettuce
Blend with extra virgin olive oil and organic lemon juice
Lots of phytonutrients. Easy to digest
Other therapies at the clinic included:
10 day water fasting
Epsom salt enemas (tbsp. Epsom salt, dissolved in boiling water and add to enema bag)
Philosophy was that Epsom salts pull toxins from the lymph
Clinic philosophy was to take the patient back to the ‘cellular time’ before they contracted the disease
Refeed properly after a water fast, otherwise benefits are lost
Purpose is to reduce sugar component in body
What is the Warburg effect?
Warburg was a scientist in Germany in 1924
He discovered that cancer most often choses sugar for energy
Carol works with her patients to reduce their glycemic index and starve their cancer cells of glucose
Intermittent fasting is very important when preparing for chemotherapy
Helps chemo become more effective. When cancer cells are starved they see the chemo and the accompanying steroids as sugar and absorb more of these. This helps protect healthy cells
What is your definition of intermittent fasting?
Lots of different terms:
Caloric restriction – restrict your calories by 40-50%
Dr. Mosley’s 5:2 diet – eating for 5 days, fasting for 2
Dr. Valter Longo recommends reducing calories and reducing what you eat
Carol recommends 600-800 calories per day, two days before chemo
Goal is almost diarrhea. Don’t want to auto intoxicate – if you have fecal material in your body and you go for chemo the toxins remain in your body longer than necessary
Do you practice classical or clinical homeopathy or something else?
Many different approaches. Carol takes the approach most relevant to the person
Looks at the whole person and how that person’s ‘dis-ease’ is affecting them. Their unique symptoms
No one thing is going to help cancer. It is a very serious metabolic disease. Needs a lot of different protocols put together to address metabolic imbalance e.g. nutrition, mindset, targeted supplementation, iv therapy, lifestyle etc
How do you use homeopathy to mitigate radiation side effects
Homeopathic Carcinosin is a breast cancer remedy
Can buy from homeopathic pharmacy or practitioner
Carol does remote consultations. Practitioner list on stermmethod.com
Acute homeopathy good for mitigating the symptoms of conventional treatment
It’s the symptoms that are important in homeopathy, not the illness
To support patients going through radiation:
Avoid anti-oxidants as radiation created oxidative stress
This protocol includes MegaMucosa prebiotic powder
Protect your gut when having chemotherapy too
One of the best things you can do to keep your counts up
Carol’s patients have better blood work
Remedy for radiation burns is Cantharis – 60 or 30c
Only take when symptoms are present. Listen to your body and follow the symptoms.
If symptoms change may need Rhus tox (better with heat) or Apis mellifica (better with ice cold), Belladonna (skin throbbing – whole being is agitated)

028: What you need to know about EMFs: Nicolas Pineault
01:22:14
Nicolas Pineault joins us to talk about the devastating health effects of electromagnetic fields, their link to cancer, and what to do about it.
In This Episode:
What EMFs (and more broadly electro-pollution) are and the overwhelming amount of research and scientific opinion on the negative health effects it can have on our bodies, so much so that it’s being banned in certain places, particularly places where small children frequent, in other countries outside of the US
How EMFs can be a huge disruptor to sleep quality to prevent healing
What EMFs actually do to our cells to cause damage leading to an untold number of health consequences including cancer
Steps we can all take immediately to greatly reduce our exposure to this toxin known as electro-pollution today
Nicolas Pineault is a health journalist who has published more than 1,500 online articles through a daily newsletter called Nick & Gen’s Healthy Life. In 2017, he authored The Non-Tinfoil Guide To EMFs — an unconventional book which combines common sense and humor to tackle the very serious topic of electromagnetic pollution and its effects on human health. You may learn more about Nick’s work at NonTinfoilEMF.com.
