hi I'm dr. Mercola and if you've just finished watching episode 2 and died
against disease where you learn many chronic degenerative diseases are being
reported in epidemic proportions and starting to age is much younger we are
seeing premature aging and the slow buildup of critical risk factors that
are compromising health and vitality yet many of these threats to our longevity
and deteriorations are being successfully treated with a cyclical
low-carb diet it's reducing inflammation allowing our bodies and our brains to
heal regenerate and repair if you've already purchased the series you'll be
able to go back and visit all of the detailed information again at your leisure and implement the suggested
strategies in episode three our discussion gets emotionally charged and
far more personal when we talk about cancer and proper diet as therapy find
out how a cyclical ketogenic diet shuts down pathways preventing the prolific spread to more cancer cells dive into
the heated controversy that surrounds a cancer diagnosis and the best treatment
options and finally learn about their early pioneers who weren't afraid to
turn away from toxic drugs and towards alternative medicine so you could live a longer and healthier life currently one
in two males in the United States of America are diagnosed with a cancer
before they die that doesn't even count skin cancer we're talking about solid tumors here and so we've got an
incredible epidemic of this disease process in the community that's a
tragedy I've said it will probably go down as the single greatest Fiasco in
the history of medicine nothing else in the past would ever match what this
cancer situation has created here nothing well in the past history of
medicine will ever be compared to the inadvertence the death of these millions
and millions of people based on a flawed theory so I was diagnosed in 2008 as I
was the malignant melanoma in India and so they suggested that I do Avastin
injections this time around to stop the anti Genesis
or that the other option was to take the eye out and I went for the third option the ketogenic diet thank goodness my
consultant was actually he was very supportive so we very quickly saw that
it had an effect so he let me do this and that's the rest is history my extra ocular tumor completely disappeared it's
gone and the tumor inside the eye is a fibrous mass it's not active hi this is
dr. Mercola and I hope you're enjoying the free series and I want to give a
special thank you to those of you that purchased the fat for fuel online course
the online course is designed to help you implement the tools and principles you've learned and died against disease
so you can start achieving your health goals today so take advantage of this
limited time massive savings during this free screening of diet against disease
learn more by clicking the link below so this goes back to a few years ago was
that right how how long ago was this when you got diagnosed with thyroid
cancer that was in June of 2011 so after I had the bilateral neck dissection the
cancer marker was continuing to go up which was I couldn't believe it because
I just had 38 lymph nodes removed out of my neck and they were thinking that that
was the cause of the cancer and they were kind of just kind of saying well
that's that we're kind of at the end of the rope there's nothing really more we
can do I thought you're gonna die well they didn't actually say it like that
but they're basically that's what they were saying that just there was there
was no options can you remember what it felt like
it it was very devastating actually I mean I was way too young to die I was not ready for to even go down that path
and I pretty much just I mean I just kind of carried on and then when I when
I thought when I hooked up with dr. Bush at at a conference he was the one that
totally changed my outlook and was and he was the one that helped me realize
that you know I can be I can try to get cured by eating properly since I started
with the alkaline diet every test every time we do lab work through the thought
Ragab Yulin who's the cancer marker it actually keeps going down and down and
down my diet is putting my cancer in remission dad tell me what was your
diagnosis ovarian cancer I was diagnosed in 2009 and they did they thought my stage would be three or four this is pre
surgery I see a 125 was in the 4000 s prior to surgery I did three rounds of chemo had surgery I had very aggressive
surgery and very aggressive chemo sudden optimist
do people die of those types of cancer of course that's one of the most
aggressive cancers that there is at the ovarian cancer they always look at you
like oh you know you have the big one and I said well you know I'm optimistic
and I feel like there's a lot to learn from this and that's the way I'm going
to approach it so how long did they tell you that you're gonna live oh they don't tell you that they don't tell you much
of anything honestly you read everything online and they tell you not to be a lot of attention to it
but I think you know if you get to the five-year mark
that's a good thing and I think I already knew about food as medicine I
don't know that I use those words but I you know knew that nutrition would come
from the inside out but I was appalled when I went into the chemo lab
to see that they had candy and cookies and soft drinks it was just crazy to me
to be in a medical area where they would serve you the kinds of things that
anybody would know whether they had cancer not weren't supportive of good
health I was doing the Paleo diet and then dr. winters was doing our blood
work regularly and one of us to keep our inflammation levels low and then we all
came to the ketogenic Conference a year ago there were seven of us over in
cancer patients and they show and we learned a lot it's great that you got great results and just how many years
are you out from your diagnosis how do you feel today I'm in year 7 I guess I'm
probably moving into your 8 I feel excellent my health is great I have
energy how many more years you plan in the video I probably will be here till
I'm at least 95 you believe it so you're probably wondering if there's so many
success stories from healing from cancer using diet and lifestyle changes why does the medical system keep pushing
treatments like chemotherapy and radiation but aren't there success
stories from them too the answer to this question is a
surprising one as I found out when I talked to dr. Zack Bush there's a lot of
people on both sides of the debate when it comes to chemotherapy because it does
look a lot like well perhaps that's the last resort for somebody or you're you
know deep these things seem to work I know Bob X he used chemo he's alive
today he had cancer chemo sekiz life I mean you formulated chemo what's the
truth so the amazing truth about not only
chemotherapy but radiation and any other treatment that you might not reach for
in the Western medicine bucket is that it can only be a band-aid it is not the
root cause of why that person got that condition whether it's cancer or diabetes
the pharmaceutical is not the solution to it all it is is a band-aid that you
can throw on temporarily to move you in the direction of an opportunity to change I believe that the reason
chemotherapy really works the best is because it makes you pretty nauseated
and changes your metabolism it forces a radical change in your diet most of all
starvation we're talking a lot about the ketogenic diet and the power of these
ketones when you're in this kind of starvation state to kill cancer cells
I'm not at all so gonna be surprised if in ten years that we found out that if
there was any ability for chemotherapy to help it wasn't cause it was killing
the cancer cell because it was keeping the person from a normal process and
increasing the amount of ketosis they experienced from the illness they were
getting from the side effects of the drug we've never randomized and
controlled for these issues we've never put people in diet groups to say okay
you're gonna fast and these patterns just like you would if you were on a
chemotherapy regimen to find out if it's simply the fasting patterns that are
gonna naturally occur over the course of a month of on and off chemo I think the nutritional changes that
underpin that that clinical regimen of a chemo thing have all as much power as
the chemotherapy itself something that's sobering to realize is that if you gave
enough chemotherapy to actually kill all the cancer cells in somebody's body you
would kill them instantly chemotherapy can only slow down that cell division
long enough for your immune system to catch up and actually fix the problem
they are never the thing that leads to cure your immune system and your body's
reconnection of communication so levels the only thing that can learn lead to long-term remission and cure and so
chemo can only at best be a part of the puzzle towards that goal of reconnection
of the cell level so if you're going to go do chemotherapy make sure you're
doing thousand other things to change your environment change the way you eat
change the way you fast change the way you hydrate change the way you exercise
change everything because we know that it was a perfect storm for that cancer
to have great and so to throw in one little
- like chemo or radiation or surgery or all three it has nothing to do with this
big massive complicated ecosystem that led to your cancer in the first place
all right this is dr. Margolin if you're enjoying the education provided in this
free film series please share it with your loved ones by clicking on the link
below it makes a massive difference is you'll be providing them with
potentially life-altering information to help them take control of their health
so radiation produces reactive oxygen species that damage the DNA and damage
all these other things from the interaction of the radiation beam with
water or whatever and makes reactive oxygen species and they'd also damaged
right away that the array will damage the biomolecule itself but you know if
you can achieve the same thing without radiation why would you do radiation but
then we have the there's papers coming out of Europe now where soft palate
cancer Paleolithic ketogenic diet used alone without any radiation in chemo are showing remarkable therapy I think I
think a metabolic therapy without toxic toxicity will do far more to resolve
this disease and manage the disease than putting patients at risk with other
kinds of we've made cancer seemed like the only way you can get rid of it is
you have to do radical surgical procedures and toxic chemicals and
radiation and that's nonsense that's that's that's nonsense
you don't need to do that to get to say to the the patient can achieve the same
end goal healthier than they were when they started with a metabolic therapy do
you cure cancer with with with toxic well yeah I mean there's people out
there who walking around a I had this terrible cancer and thanks for the for
the top chemical I went there and they cured my cancer but those people often suffer they have a remembrance their
body it has a remembrance oh you were poisoned at one time you took these
terrible that that limits that core that increases physiological entropy which is
disorder and we all die from entropy entropy is just we return to equilibrium
second off government at the second law of thermodynamics we're battling entropy our whole lives but you don't want to be
exposed to something in your life that accelerates entropy you want to be you
want something that's going to delay entropy right metabolic therapy
targets the disease and delays entropy yeah rapid chemo targets the disease and
increases in entropy and and if you have a choice to say if someone would if you
were a cancer patient where to go and say listen there's a possibility that
metabolic there appeal or you can go standard of care well
what's the difference you explain them what do you think the patient's going to choose they're all gonna go metabolic
therapy yeah so especially as these as these positive cases begin to to accumulate so we're
seeing more and more of them and there's some case reports being written about
these guys and now you know as this continues to increase the momentum to do
it and to be understanding of it will increase and again it's just it's gonna be it's gonna be a tidal wave of people
it's coming it's coming it's coming it's coming it has to come because we can't
do what we've been doing it doesn't work for the majority of people and I and I
think this it's gonna come some of these people have their whole body is full of
metastatic cancer and they're coming to the clinic can you help me now and
normally you say go home and see Hospice they put them on metabolic therapy and
and within you know a few months they're they're fine you know this is impossible
this is people say this is impossible that must be a miracle case no no man
they're seeing it over and over again it's treating the real nature of the
disease that's the problem the difference is you're treating something
that's that's not the disease you're creating a problem this is actually
going to the heart of the problem and when you do that you're going to get
results that are going to be strikingly different than what you're currently
getting so when will come people come to know this I don't know because the
physicians who treat people are not being told about this okay so how do you get an establishment to say let's let's
let's have a major course in metabolic therapy let's let's do advanced training residency
when faced with such limited success curing cancer using conventional medical practices and comparing this with the
success stories from people using diet and lifestyle the big question that has
to be asked is do we even understand cancer at all and the mechanisms by
which it is created and grows so many of you might be familiar with dr. Otto
Warburg who was a German biochemist and also a physician who was actually
received a Nobel Prize in the 1930s for his uncovering of the mechanism of
anaerobic fermentation as the primary fuel source for most cancerous growths
fortunately in the 21st century we have some research scientists who have
actually taken up that mantle and actually carried it further in the
primary one who is really leading the field is most of the experts that I've
interviewed suggest is dr. Tom Seyfried who is a professor of biology at Boston
College and has been doing groundbreaking research and uncovering
the molecular mechanisms and refining the specific protocols that can be used
to beat cancer and finally win the war on cancer authentically now the NIH the National Institutes of Health has not
been a big fan of this many people in conventional scientific circles discount
this and so as a result he's not getting funding and a primary purpose of putting
this series together is to generate funding for doctors see freeze research
and we hope to raise a million dollars for him to do that and even though
there's not a lot of research going on there are some oncology groups and I can
think of one specifically in Turkey a group of oncologists who've applied his
principles to stage 4 metastatic cancer patients and who were late very late
stage and had unbelievable results I mean many of these patients were
predicted to die in a week or two and they're still living years later so we have some early anecdotal evidence
that's useful but of course we need to refine the science and continue to
refine the protocols so I want want you to understand that when you see dr. C
free you are looking at one of the world leaders
in the application of the ketogenic diet to really win the war on cancer some people can be cured by the standard of
care but it comes at a tremendous cost you have to incinerate the whole area
you have to put your body at all kinds of risk for toxic chemicals I mean you
can achieve the same the same end endgame if you just take away the
fermentable fuels this is a not as complicated problem and every cancer is
the same thing they're all the same they're all fermenters pancreas lung
breast brain call and bladder you name it they're all fermenters so why do we
don't target that Warburg's theory was the most compelling explanation for how
the calorie restriction was working okay none of the other theories could explain
this okay with with a with a with a credible explanation I mean you have to
pull rabbits out of hats to believe these other theories but you know
basically you know this was a real compelling argument it made a lot of
sense it was supported by strong biochemistry we were seeing it for
ourselves so then I started to read more and more
about Warburg the German papers we started pondering this guy what he what
he actually had to say and it turns out that he is spot on he was spot on he
knew exactly what was going on and then we well you know interestingly hit one
of his passions as a young man was to find the cure for cancer yeah and he did he didn't find the cure he found that he
found the origin is he founded the mechanism he just never got it he never
lived long enough to develop the cure but he certainly was able to he was put
it put us on the right path so I always said he may read his papers it makes
perfect sense and then I read all the arguments against the Warburg that
people were arguing and we spent countless hours months and days carefully carefully considering all of
them the the arguments against his theory and found them to be all flawed
in one way or another they just simply did not want to believe that this person
actually had found the key to cancer I was always interested in biochemistry
that's been my thing since I've been a kid is just understanding how the body
works and so that was my undergrad degree and then in graduate school I was
working on it a theory class so I was delving into
what cancer is and and from the perspective of the traditional textbooks which lays out this genetic theory of
cancer that it's caused by the mutation two key oncogenes that are involved in
the cell cycle that sort of rewire the cellular circuitry towards uncontrolled
growth and this has been the dogmatic theory of cancer since the mid 70s right
it's irrefutable it's in the textbooks we all know this is the truth and so I
stumbled on this book by Tom Seyfried called cancers a metabolic disease which
laid out this wonderfully elegant alternative theory for cancer just
packed full of evidence that I didn't know existed
a hundred year old evidence all the way to today that laid out this alternative
theory that cancer is not an exclusively genetic disease but it's a disease of
altered metabolism so that just that that you know completely can moonshot
between the eyes discovery that cancer had this alternative theory that was
viable what sent me off and this just intense curiosity so I went out and
talked to Tom and he was gracious enough to see me and so I had this list of
questions I spent the day with him and that just fueled my curiosity more and
Tom had written that you know the book that cancer is a metabolic disease so
the science book was there but what wasn't there was this beautiful story
about this goes all the way back to a German scientist Otto Warburg so there
was this rich narrative of this historical thread that I wanted to tell
so that anybody could understand and it was a story of kind of scientific
redemption Warburg was cast aside as this kind of you know quack almost he
was a stellar scientist but this was a scar in his career everybody thought this theory that cancer was metabolic
was just silly by the time he died in 1970 and so really Tom revived this
theory that in about 2012 of this book but it was already stumbling the cancer
genome atlas project which was this huge governmental effort to sequence the
genes in a cancer cells had already showed that there was this extreme
heterogeneity in the cancer cell it's very difficult to find a consistent you
know signature of mutations from one cancer
to the next which is supposed to define the genetic theory cancer so it was sort
of already on the ropes and most people didn't know that but then Tom came along
and presented this alternative theory and now you know it's only been a few
short years since his book but cancer metabolism along with immunotherapy is
the hot topic for sure there was a New York Times article in May of last year that talked about Warburg and the New
York Times you as you know will not do anything remotely non-traditional they
like to be something that's you know invoke at the moment so it's make that
striking comeback Tom went out in a limb suggesting the ketogenic diet and some
of these metabolic therapies because he had preclinical data and you know it's
it's irresponsible to not present it but you're also sort of going out in a limb
and so and and when I wrote my book you know I was just presenting the work that
Tom had done and so forth but this was largely the theory is beautiful that you
can target the metabolism of a cancer cell it for therapeutically what was a
response to the scientific community to you ignore it ignored
of course just like they ignored Warburg it's not it doesn't fit their mindset
you know this can this then brought me to the idea what is it Dogma a Dogma and
I talked about this right the dogmatic thinking is incredible it's more
powerful than any gene there's no genome no series of genes known that are more powerful than than a mental dogma and
that goes back to religion I mean people have different religions you could be
you could be Christian Jewish Muslim doesn't make anything with you you are
you were associate you your brain and your existence is associated with that
dogmatic view of life it's very hard for somebody to switch from one religion to
another it's almost impossible people would rather die than do that okay
you've spent your whole adult life thinking a scientific problem was
related to a particular explanation which is a gene theory you've got many
grants on this you know you become comfortable and understanding this and
then someone comes along and says it can't be that what are you going to do
oh yeah oh I think you're right you're not gonna say that there must be
something wrong with the way you're thinking and if there isn't we must
ignore it it's just that simple this is - it's too
disturbing so pharmaceutical company has got every incentive to not I mean you
know I don't think these guys are necessarily malicious I think their
incentive structures just screwed up terribly so their incentive is to to
de-risk the process it takes about a decade and a billion dollar seed a drug
from conception to to approval right so it's incredibly expensive process and
when they do that so they're incentivized if there's a drug or
mechanism they know that works they're incentivized just make a tiny
incremental improvement and that's not what we need we need people to have bold
ideas and swing for the fences come up with entirely new treatment paradigms
but they're not doing this or doing these tiny differences in targeted
therapies they know they'll get approval and it doesn't move the needle on cancer
so you you honestly do believe that people people are dying because of people's dogmatic views oh absolutely I
mean because you're you're focusing on therapies that are not based on what the
disease is they're using immunotherapies this is based on the gene thing okay the
tumor cells making these these surface molecules that are stunning our immune
system and this was spending millions and millions of dollars this is nuts
and a lot of these keep work and why are we not replacing toxic chemo because we
because we haven't been able to come up with a good gene therapy based on the
gene theory that would say we can replace chemo and radiation it's not
happening and every time we turn the news on we have a new breakthrough oh
this new this immune up there we go about a hundred million dollars the
moonshot the President Obama's moonshot ISM is a moonshot you might as well take
the hundred million dollars and put it into a capsule and send it to the moon
because it's not going to help anybody on this planet so it's just you know it's just it's just a waste of massive
amounts of money you have the NCI you know supporting a National Cancer
Institute and there's still Cancer Institute and you have all these
pharmaceutical companies all bed together
everybody's backslap and everybody's making a buck and we're sacrificing all
these millions of cancer patients on a flat floor theory you know you tell me
what's wrong with this right to come up with new solutions you have to look at a
problem differently as more medical practitioners free themselves from
looking at the problem of cancer through the eyes
of the floor gene theory they free themselves to look at new solutions and
the amazing thing that they are discovering is that the answer is simple
and has been right in front of us this whole time well interestingly enough in
my own process over the last 25 years I've been a student of integrative
oncology trying to learn everything I can about conventional and
non-conventional oncology and even traditional applications and treatments as oncology and what I've seen happen in
the last two years in the communication and the understanding of cancer per se
and the connections being made with people who play different roles in the
field of medicine around cancer I've seen more happen in the last two years
than I've seen in the previous 23 years collectively so it felt like we were
kind of running in quicksand for many many years of not getting anywhere the
paradigm was very this fast and you know furious to hold on to this concept of
the tumor and the gene being the cause and effect of AK answering process and
the conversations in the last year's have just been explosive of really
taking us down what they're now calling precision medicine as I've said nature
paths homeopaths acupuncturist and Ayurvedic doctors and functional
medicine doctors have been saying and doing precision medicine for hundreds of
years if not thousands of years and so there's a comment a conversation that's
changed there's a deeper understanding there's a lot more to cancer than just
the tumor or the tumor cell there are finally recognition that there's a
metabolic aspect to this condition thank you to the work of Warburg that it only
took them almost a hundred years to come into our conversation thanks to dr.
Tennessee Thomas C Fred's work cancer is a metabolic disease whom I'm a huge have such gratitude for having that work come
into the world because it's part of an ongoing conversation change in the field
of oncology so this country is finally starting to get into the conversation
where places like Germany or about 30 years ahead of us they've been doing this a
little bit differently for a while and it's feeling like there's more hope for
patients with cancer more than ever cancer is affecting one and two American
males and one in three American females so it's a it's a pervasive issue and
fortunately we've got doctors a crush who has actually done cancer research
funded by the NIH at the University of Virginia before he actually shifted into into natural medicine so I liked him to
share with this from his perspective the importance of the nutritional
interventions to form a foundation abases for the treatment of cancer so my
chemotherapy background I was developing vitamin A compounds as chemotherapy and
so you would think that I was smart enough at the time to say wow vitamin A
that comes from a carrot maybe we should eat carrots but took me four years of
studying vitamin A before that little simple reality dawned on me so vitamin A
comes from our nutrition and it's just one of the many many compounds that kills cancer and in the nutrition world
it's easy to change this is one of the easiest changes that you can possibly make to radically change your biology
you can go from a state of just huge dysfunction to just minutes and hours
later totally different biology by changing what's on your plate and so you
know in a nutshell you want to eat low on the food chain you mentioned you know
in other parts of this documentary you're talking about heavy metals and
all this and the big fish and all well my goodness if you go low on that food
chain all that toxicity really diminishes quickly it can't be
emphasized enough that we should be growing our own food critical piece of
getting the medicinal quality back in our plants yeah so eating clean on the
food chain and then paying attention to not only the quality of whoo but the
timing of the food and especially considering something a valuable tool
like fasting yeah fasting is huge it's been taught in every religious practice
out there for thousands of years and you know whether we're coming at this from a
ketogenic diet standpoint or just the reality of these short-term long-term
fasting cycles but one of the my favorite things is it releases you from
the belief that you have to be eating constantly
and it gives the opportunity to say wow I can thrive with mental clarity four
days into a fast it's truly an experience that's worth having if you've
never fasted before you should try a five-day water fast
be aware there's gonna be some side effects through the process of the detoxification your liver as it goes so
magnesium along the way there kind of get yourself through and accept that
there might be some rough spots as you get to this holy state but boy five days in totally different biology you want to
use a multi-step approach when you use this wide variety of complementary
protocols or approaches then you're going to be able to successfully address the fundamental flaw which is the
mitochondrial dysfunction so died against disease is without question a
complete solution however when you're using it for advanced stage cancer you
have to be really careful and you dose don't want to rely on your diet is the
sole solution so you want to use other strategies that dr. Seyfried and this
oncology group in Turkey has incorporated such as hyperbaric oxygen
glycolytic inhibitors vitamin C intravenously it could also be used as liposomal and one of the new strategies
that dr. cifra is working on is a glutamine inhibitor now glutamine is a
protein because many people know that the most cancers use glucose as their
primary fuel for anaerobic fermentation but they are unaware that if you stop
giving your body glucose and even suppress the ability to produce it with
liver from making glucose your the cancer cells will cause your muscle cells too deep to break down and as a
result they'll extract that glutamine and fuel that pathway so glutamine
inhibitors are becoming a really important novel strategy to have a
comprehensive approach that will truly unauthentic Lee win the war in cancer
and this is what we hope to continue the research by funding dr. Seavers research
so that's why it's so important to limit your protein now to lower the glutamine
because many of these aberrant pathways will use this excess protein to push your metabolism in the wrong
direction tell us about your role as a nutritional therapists and what other
specialties come into play to support people with cancer yes I was a
nutritional therapist I work with in my case with only with cancer patients and
it is really using foods as you know a support tool I I look into obviously low
carb or ketogenic approach if if that is suitable for a particular patient the
emotional component is huge so sometimes people come to me because they won't
want to work on their diet but it turns out there's so many other things that we
need to cover first that I feel will make a much bigger difference to a
patient than working on the diet and that could be as she says you know
emotional components first and if they're psychologically in a really bad
place I think food is not really the first concern for me as a therapist and
I need to make sure I am very much conscious of referring on and really
making sure it's you know that that client is safe as well
and you know it's it's always identifying where is it particularly
client at and how can I best support them and it can be various things of
just nutrition it's also a lifestyle I work in some functional medicine
functional nutrition framework and you know lifestyle can for some people make
an even bigger impact at least at the beginning than just you know making
major dietary changes so it depends yeah well I had 16 tumors in the liver that's
never good you know the really interesting thing was I've never seen
people look at people as if they were dead and some people the ones who were
knowledgeable were looking at me as though I was dead and they had this subliminal shock that here's Hugh who
have known for thirty years and he's about
to die and it was slightly off-putting to be looked at as though you're dead
Zach tell me how bad his situation was I mean from a conventional viewpoint I
mean you've been the conventional doctor and I'm sure that it would have been a time when you saw a case like he is and
he like this guy's a dead man walking that's how he got talked to by certain
people I mean as a doctor seeing his numbers I mean is it true like could
could he have died yeah so he came in unknowing that he had cancer he was having some skeletal pain he was kind of
dealing with it pretty tough guy and then just on general screening his PSA came back the highest I'd ever seen so
he ended up having evidence of metastasis through many of his bones and
his skeleton pelvis ribs vertebrae skull and in his liver so he was really riddled with tumor all over the body and
so he was in a unique situation where you have a gentleman come in for annual
screening and then leave with the information within a couple weeks that
he may have only weeks to live and that there's really no therapeutic options
that would be expected to reverse or cure his condition and so it's a
relatively dramatic story of hope I think I am what you would call totally healed my PSA has dropped down to levels
that are described as in detectable and they have been there ever since the
tumors the 16 tumors in my liver and the other tumors abounding between here and
here have completely disappeared within about a month or two after I met dr.
Busch so yes I was completely motivated by dr. Busch's totally unique take on
how life could be seized and and extracted from otherwise impossible
situations they're very motivated by that and I believe them because you know
his reputation and what I knew of him instinctively and what I knew of his
back and being a scientist myself everything
he said made complete sense to me and that's exactly how things worked out so
in terms of cancer I am I would have to say as healed as one could possibly be
lots lots of other things in my body started to work much better so I didn't
just get rid of the cancer and I don't want to get into graphic details of
health but everything about me I mean people were looking at me and thinking
wait a minute Hugh you're 66 why are you looking 40 or 50 and so what I'm saying
is apparently it just wasn't the cancer that was killed so many other things were regenerated and and refurbished you
tackled it he's got a personality ''tis just show him the mountain he's gonna
run up it tell us about his numbers going down like where did he go from and
to what was the protocol he used and hacking the person watching like implement that yeah first thing first
get rid of the dangerous emotions there so the fear and guilt PC tackles head-on
the next PC tackle was nutrition and dietary support his numbers were
dropping within three weeks of starting a nutritional protocols he had started
exercising regularly he was sleeping on a schedule
he was hydrating aggressively he was supporting with bacterial intelligence
that he had never seen he was supporting his mitochondrial metabolism and so the
following four years really told the amazing story as he stayed in remission imaging within six months showed every
bone in his body not only was there no cancer where the cancer had been was completely healed in the Western
medicine world we call those miracles because we don't have a way to really
wrap our head around what happened there but we get to see enough miracles now
happening around our clinic and everything else that I'm confident that
there is a biology unfolding that tells a pretty cool story we are all programmed to heal and if we're given
the opportunity to do it and we have a team around us to really love on us
and that can be a family it can be a community a church it can be you know
whatever you can throw around yourself but you surround yourself with the right
and sky's limit there's a sense of well-being that translates from here to
all those that I love all of these people these things require energy focus
attitude love all of these things come down to the cellular performance everything comes down to cellular
performance and so my sense of well-being shows me the effectiveness that I'm very very grateful for with all
of these people and it shows me that I can keep doing that for hopefully a long time we've got an incredible epidemic of
this disease process in the community this is the endpoint of a lifetime
decades of chronic inflammation and so when you cancer appears it's important
for us to remember this isn't some disease that popped out of nowhere this
is a symptom of a chronic inflammatory State over many decades so what is
cancer at its center and my passion right now is to get out to world the
information that cancer is inherently a state of loneliness at the cellular
level a cell that is isolated from its community completely pulled away from communication from those little sparks
of life around at the other cells that cell becomes very prone to this
cancerous process and so cancer begins with isolation and loneliness the
information at hand is that if we instead of focusing on killing those
lonely cells that are damaged and lonely and frustrated and trying to survive if
instead of pouring poison on them we start to understand them again as part
of a larger organism that just lost communication it gives us a different
framework to work from both as a patient as well as a scientist as well as a
clinician if we instead think of our mission is one to really bring that cell
back into the the herd of all of that community bring it out of isolation and bring it back in if that happens we see
something extraordinary how it's called Apatow psious or program
cell suicide Apatow Ceci's a natural-born capacity of
that cell and the way to turn that cell suicide on is say you're not alone you are here in a huge body of 70
trillion cells that still has the capacity love and connect to you and if
that happens the cell says oh my gosh I'm so damaged I'm putting a threat on this larger body and Apatow sis and
program cell suicide happens and so I really love the message for a cancer
patient who's just been diagnosed can we reconnect you to your community of cells
can we reconnect so completely that those cells dissolve in real time and
that's the stories that keep pouring out of our clinic and hordes of our other
clinics around the world people are healing from cancer and the only way
that happens is for this cellular communication to get back in touch we ring include those lonely cells those
cancer cells back into the larger organism practice that community event on the biochemistry and cell level it's
interesting to realize that the worst penalty you can give a human being let's
put them in solitary confinement it's been known for thousands of years we do
it military we do it and our special special ops or CIA we you know we
certainly do it in prison systems you take somebody out of touch with humans
and you leave them in total isolation for five to seven days and they've all
got complete neuroses they've got they're hallucinating they've lost touch
with self they're completely losing grounding of who they are that's the
ultimate penalty for the macro human that you're talking about leave them
alone for a few days sell your love of no difference leave a
cell alone for a few days starts to look like a cancer cell so how do you keep
itself from being isolated and lonely you start with excellent nutrition you
do it constantly you have to fuel these machines eating a healthy meal a week
and then letting things slide the rest of the week because you're busy isn't
going to cut it we have to have a daily conviction that this is a lifestyle this
isn't a diet this isn't my Saturday routine this isn't me going to the gym
this is me waking up loving myself so much that I'm not going to check that
email list until I do what's right for me I'm gonna hydrate I'm gonna exercise
I'm gonna eat the right stuff and I'm gonna fuel
and in so doing the machine makes the communication network that's going to
keep your cells in touch Tammy Wilkerson is a woman who has been
on an amazing journey Tammy faced the challenging situation in
which Western medicine came at her with one solution to her thyroid cancer which was surgery and this is kind of the
story of where you keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result
and so she didn't get one surgery she ended up with multiple surgeries in this huge neck dissection that removed all of
the lymph nodes from her neck most of the soft tissue from her neck every
ounce of thyroid from her neck stripped it out of there
the thyroidectomy and the removing of the lymph nodes didn't actually take
down the cancer marker right that my marker actually went up do you think
that it was not essential for you to get those surgeries I would have rather
taken a more natural approach but honestly I had I had I didn't know anything about this I just kind of did
whatever my doctor was telling me to do and that's kind of how it all happened
you know I didn't have somebody and and actually my endocrinologist I asked her
at one point if she really knows what she was doing for me she didn't really
know she really didn't know how to handle a case like mine and so I just I
mean I had I just I just listened to her which I in hindsight I probably should
have gone a different route but I didn't know yeah
I wish I had known I didn't I really didn't do any research I wish I again I
wish I had the failure you know if there was one
was to recognize that every surgery pre could the closure of that last surgery her numbers kept going up so they kept
doing surgery removing was tissue and her numbers kept going up which in
hindsight certainly hindsight 20/20 here should have warned them that there was
cancer somewhere else than the neck so she got the neck stuff surgery what what
next when she came into our clinic you know they had realized the mistake that had been made and they'd realized Wow
sorry the cancer really escaped that knack and thyroid probably long before
any surgery had ever been done and so she ended up with really no options in the Western medicine world and here's
you've got a young woman in her 40s with young kids and everything else and
you're have to sit down and say you know we've got nothing in the toolbox left
and so it was one of those wonderful moments though and this is you know so
many patients I've seen coming to our clinic with cancer now who end up years
later saying that cancer was the best gift I was ever given and that's an
important thing I think for all of us to enter into a race knowing that if a
challenge has been put in front of us it to give us gives us the biggest
opportunity we've ever had to prove life deeper and more fully than we've ever
lived it before and she took that challenge on and she's a good example of
somebody who's been at it now she and I've been working together for
five-and-a-half years or something like that and so to do anything for five
years daily is a real commitment to life itself what's your final message to the
person watching what what would you say to that person that's sitting watching
and listening to your story and wondering what what hope there is for
them in their situation their suffering or battling fighting something or maybe
it's one of their loved ones that is and I think we're all hanging on to hope by
a thread we're just we're just not sure what would you say to that person
don't ever give up there's there are ways to work through this there are
there's plenty of help out there there's food there's natural remedies there's you don't want to give up because you
don't want you don't want your life to end it's just not it's not time and
there's tow so much more to life I think she really has lived that story of
excellence of I want to be here I want to stay for my kids I want to stay here
for my mice my own journey and I'm gonna do the details and so she's taking care
of her family often preparing different meals for them than herself and I mean
her dedication has been extraordinary and nobody can make that for you you got
to dive in there and think you got to make that your priority do you love
yourself and this life enough to make those small detailed decisions every day
and for those of us that haven't been faced with that cancer or that diabetes
or that an autoimmune disability that's the question to us do you love yourself
and so my encouragement is you want to prevent a medicine love the hell of you
out of yourself right now right today when we shift our understanding of
cancer to recognize that it's a metabolic disease it's amazing the results that can be
achieved by harnessing our body's natural ability to heal itself given the
right tools but in order for this to have the most effect people need to hear
about it scientists need to research it further
and gather irrefutable evidence so that the paradigm shift can occur within the
medical world and more and more people can have access to these life-saving
techniques people are needlessly suffering and dying for want of this
vital knowledge and it breaks the heart of those who know like dr. Thomas
Seyfried
it's it's hard for you to watch what what you're seeing right now isn't it
when it comes to like that's a tragedy I've said it's it will probably go down
as the single greatest Fiasco in the history of Medicine nothing else in the
past would ever match what this cancer situation has created here nothing well
in the past history of medicine will ever be compared to the inadvertence the
death of these millions and millions of people based on a flawed theory so this
the consequences of the floor theory leads to this and I I just can't think
of anything that would be more tragic than what's happened in this in this in
this Institute cancer and and that's the way it is I am so convinced that we can
manage this disease and manage it without toxicity based on the hard
fundamental issue of the science behind the disease knowing what we're doing
when knowing what the disease is and that these are fermentable these cells
are fermenting and it's so easy to stop fermentation in the cells and nobody's
doing this not very few people are doing this doctor say Fred you were applying
it you are a pioneer in a school of thinking that would save millions of
lives but yet those lives that should be saved aren't being saved and yet that's
not your fault but have you ever like have you ever battled with with the
feeling of you know have I done enough and how could i how could I make this
more known what what went wrong here and well I think that I think as more and
more people fortunately we have the internet internet now and we have people
coming on the internet who had these stage 4 cancer so they have the
documentation here's I look here here's what the way I was look at the okay and
now I go through this metabolic theory and I've met about therapy which we're
developing press pulse concepts and these kinds of things that can bring
this person to a greater state of health and and Here I am look it and what
people say I don't believe it what do you mean you don't believe it it is well
there's no evidence to support that wooden me just know it was a guy sitting
here you look at this data and you say you sitting here you don't think that's
evidence so it has to happen by a grassroots movement because the medical schools and the NCI in the top
institutions have too much to lose to jump into
that alright there's lobbyists there's all kinds of people that keep the
pressure on that we've got to develop the next new immunotherapy because it's
good for everybody's profit and everybody's business you know that's one
that's one scenario and most of the people you talk to these guys that are
running these they're they don't know anything about the biology cancer you
know minimal and yet they're the ones dictating how everybody's supposed to be
treated it's like what the hell is I suppose it's like you can't be doing
this but yet people think if I'm going to Dana Farber and I'm going to MD
Anderson I must be getting the best wrong you're not you're not getting the
best because if they were if it was the best they'd have a how many successful
cancer patients long-term for stage four cancer patients are surviving with your
therapies obesity has you become one of the big huge epidemics in our
environment obviously you've got you know one in three one in four adults
depending on the city in America that are obese now you would think that we
had figured this out by now as scientists clinicians doctors etc we still are practicing very antiquated
science at the clinical level when it comes to this word obesity in this
clinical condition it's easy as a scientist to kind of boil that down to
some theoretical but very few things or as intense of as being overweight or
being obese and being out in the in the community for somebody who has to walk
out into the world with obesity it is something that is a really enormous psychological challenge as well as
physical challenge nothing in my body function right everything hurt I
literally could not take more than four steps without extreme muscle burn everyone thought I was nuts if I went
for help they would misdiagnosed me and he would dish out prescriptions for
diseases that I believe there are symptoms of
a bigger problem so that was misery to just Suffern Suffern Suffern keeping
heavier I had always been somebody you loved health fitness nutrition but I hid my own personal rock-bottom I had had my
daughter and at the same time of having her I was going through a divorce it's
like the perfect storm so you're eating more and you are feeling down and then
you gain weight which is awesome making you more depressed so it's it's just
this perfect storm are things going on it makes you depressed you eat more you
feel tired your special greeting the wrong foods you don't have the focus or
the energy so you just go down this bad for Aven whole of things and you have to
find a way out that's a beauty of metabolic therapy in nutritional ketosis
is that once your body has transitioned to the point where you're burning fat is
your primary fuel there's a magic that occurs in your brain and this desire your cravings are radically suppressed
to the point where it's not an exercise in willpower or discipline to refuse
those because if you're burning carbohydrates is your primary field then
it is but that transition makes it easy so you just walk away and say fine I
used to like it but I don't need it anymore I was able to get on the
ketogenic diet and within 90 days I went from probably a size 14 to a size 6
under 90 days I immediately saw my body change more muscle tone and yeah it was it changed it really has changed almost
overnight that's the most profound thing that happens with a ketogenic diet as
people are so surprised at how much weight they can lose they've struggled
they've tried the the Beachbody whole 30 all kinds of things and haven't made
weight loss and all of a sudden they kick into real ketogenesis and nature
starts plummeting off of them and anytime you can get an American or an
adult or a human to see the scale move all of a sudden it's a motivation for
them to keep going right anything that you can do to get that scale to budge
it's these approaches that are sustainable that are gonna make a difference it's not for today it's not
for tomorrow it's for the rest of your life so if you like this episode of the
shore hope you did and please come back for episode 4 we're
going to talk about the problem that challenges two out of three Americans
being overweight or obese diabetes heart disease and effortless weight loss once
you understand the fundamental concepts of cyclical ketogenesis weight loss
becomes a non-issue in fact you almost have to be careful that you don't lose
too much weight for many people really looking forward to connecting with you
