On today's episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions Dr. Michael Karlfeldt is joined by Maike Winkelmann. Maike shares her journey with cancer, it is a powerful testament to resilience and self-advocacy. Diagnosed initially in 2007 while raising a young daughter, Maike faced a recurrence in 2020, which led to the removal of her left breast. Despite the emotional and physical toll, she refused chemotherapy, opting instead for radiation and a personalized treatment plan that combined conventional and alternative approaches. Her story begins with the shock of diagnosis and the challenges of navigating treatment options, all while managing the responsibilities of motherhood and the weight of uncertainty about her future. When her cancer returned in 2023, Maike experienced pain, swelling, and a grim prognosis as metastasis was discovered in her bones, head, and backbone. Doctors initially dismissed her symptoms, but a new scan revealed the extent of the disease. She underwent further radiation and faced significant complications, including fluid accumulation in her lungs. During this difficult period, Maike found hope and inspiration in Jane McClelland’s book, which motivated her to become a researcher and advocate for her own healing, determined to explore every possible avenue for recovery. Maike’s comprehensive treatment plan is a blend of strict dietary protocols, natural supplements, and off-label drugs such as Metformin and Berberine, aimed at blocking cancer pathways and targeting cancer stem cells. She describes the importance of a starvation phase—avoiding sugar, animal protein, and certain amino acids—followed by a ferroptosis phase, which uses specific fats to induce targeted oxidation of cancer cell membranes. The process is demanding, requiring careful monitoring and frequent adjustments based on her body’s response, as well as significant financial and logistical effort to access the necessary treatments and support. Despite the challenges, Maike’s perseverance led to remarkable improvement. Within nine months, she progressed from being nearly bedridden to swimming and snorkeling, regaining mobility and quality of life. She credits her recovery not only to the physical aspects of her protocol but also to the mental and emotional support she received from her community and the stress-free environment she created for herself. Her story underscores the importance of holistic healing, where emotional well-being and community support play a crucial role alongside medical interventions. Throughout her journey, Maike emphasizes the individualized nature of her treatment, the need for professional guidance, and the importance of hope. She has inspired others facing similar challenges to revisit their own treatment plans and to believe in the possibility of improvement, even in severe cases. Her experience highlights the power of personalized medicine, the value of self-advocacy, and the profound impact of maintaining hope and determination in the face of adversity.Maike Winkelmann shares her journey of battling cancer since 2007, including a recurrence in 2020 and 2023, and her decision to refuse chemotherapy in favor of a personalized treatment plan.She describes combining conventional medicine with alternative therapies, such as a strict diet, natural supplements, and off-label drugs like Metformin and Berberine.Maike emphasizes the importance of targeting cancer stem cells and using ferroptosis therapy, which involves specific dietary phases to induce cancer cell death.Despite significant challenges, including pain, mobility issues, and financial hurdles, she experiences remarkable improvement and regains her ability to swim and snorkel.Her story highlights the power of self-advocacy, hope, and the impact of personalized, holistic approaches to cancer treatment.----Maike Winkelmann is a biologist (MSc) and certified holistic health and nutrition consultant from Germany.

On today's episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions Dr. Michael Karlfeldt is joined by Mark Lintern and Mark shares his journey into cancer research began with a personal diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma at the age of 28, which propelled him to seek a deeper understanding of the disease. His initial confusion about the genetic causes of cancer led him to explore a variety of theories, especially after witnessing a friend’s battle with cervical cancer. These experiences fueled his passion for uncovering the root causes of cancer and inspired him to challenge conventional wisdom in the field. Throughout the conversation, Mark discusses several prevailing theories of cancer, including the somatic mutation theory, cancer stem cell theory, tissue organization field theory, atavistic theory, and viral theory. He emphasizes the importance of understanding these perspectives from a patient’s point of view, as they inform different treatment approaches. Ultimately, Mark finds the metabolic theory most compelling, particularly the Warburg effect, which describes how cancer cells shift their energy production from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis. Mr. Lintern elaborates on the metabolic theory by explaining the critical role of mitochondria in cellular energy production and how their dysfunction leads to the Warburg effect. He introduces his own cell suppression theory, which posits that fungal pathogens can suppress mitochondrial function, thereby triggering the metabolic shift seen in cancer cells. This theory offers a new lens through which to view the hallmarks of cancer and suggests that targeting the underlying metabolic changes could be key to effective treatment.The discussion then turns to the role of fungal pathogens in cancer and the potential for innovative treatment strategies. Mark highlights the cell danger response model, where mitochondria suppress energy production to combat pathogens, and discusses therapies such as hyperbaric oxygen, antifungal drugs, and dietary interventions. He also addresses the limitations of traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation, advocating for approaches that reduce inflammation, improve the microbiome, and support the immune system. In the final part of the episode, Mark offers practical recommendations for cancer prevention and treatment, including a plant-based diet rich in antimicrobial compounds, the use of medicinal mushrooms, and strategies to modulate the immune system.Mark stresses the importance of personalized treatment plans that consider individual health profiles and the need for further research into the role of fungal pathogens in cancer. Mark concludes by sharing resources from his book, "The Cancer Resolution," and encourages listeners to keep an open mind and explore new avenues in cancer research.Mark Lintern shares his personal journey into cancer research after being diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma at age 28, which led him to question conventional cancer theories.He explores and critiques various cancer theories, ultimately advocating for the metabolic theory and the Warburg effect as the most accurate explanations for cancer’s hallmarks.Mr. Lintern introduces the cell suppression theory, suggesting that fungal pathogens suppress mitochondrial function and drive the metabolic changes seen in cancer cells.The discussion covers innovative treatment strategies, including hyperbaric oxygen, antifungal therapies, dietary interventions, and the importance of reducing inflammation and supporting the microbiome.Mark emphasizes personalized, holistic approaches to cancer prevention and treatment, sharing insights from his book "The Cancer Resolution" and encouraging open-mindedness in cancer research.Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

On today's episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions host Dr. Michael Karlfeldt is joined by guest Gordon McMurray. Gordon’s journey with prostate cancer began with a family history of the disease and early detection through a PSA test, which led to his diagnosis in September 2022. He describes the initial shock and the process of coming to terms with the diagnosis, emphasizing the importance of early testing and awareness, especially for those with a family predisposition. Gordon’s background in risk management and compliance helped him navigate the complex landscape of treatment options and make informed decisions about his care. When considering treatment, Gordon explored several options, including surgery, radiotherapy, HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound), and brachytherapy. Ultimately, he chose surgery, performed by an experienced professor, after weighing the pros and cons of each method and considering regional availability—HIFU was not accessible in Scotland, and brachytherapy was only a marginal possibility. He highlights the challenges of accessing consistent treatment across different regions and the importance of understanding the implications of each option, including the potential side effects and long-term outcomes. The impact of treatment on Gordon’s daily life was significant. He experienced side effects such as frequent urination, fatigue, and a brief episode of back pain related to his prostate condition. Gordon discusses the importance of understanding PSA readings, the limitations of the test, and the need for informed consent throughout the treatment process. He also shares practical advice on managing fatigue, such as staying hydrated and incorporating exercise, and stresses the importance of making lifestyle adjustments to cope with ongoing side effects. Emotionally and psychologically, Gordon’s experience was challenging, involving periods of anxiety and depression. He worked with a psychology student to better understand the psychological impact of prostate cancer recovery and underscores the need for emotional support for both patients and their partners. Gordon points out the lack of psychosexual treatment options in the UK and the value of external support services like Prostate Cancer UK and Macmillan, which provide crucial resources for those navigating the recovery process. In reflecting on his journey, Gordon expresses gratitude for the support he received and the opportunity to share his story. He advises others to stay informed, make timely decisions, and seek out support networks, including peer groups and online communities. Gordon’s experience underscores the importance of early detection, informed decision-making, and the availability of comprehensive support resources for prostate cancer patients and their families, offering hope and guidance to others facing similar challenges.Gordon McMurray shared his personal journey with prostate cancer, emphasizing the importance of early detection through PSA testing and family history awareness.He discussed the challenges of choosing between treatment options like surgery, HIFU, and brachytherapy, ultimately opting for surgery due to regional availability.Gordon described the significant side effects of treatment, including urinary issues, fatigue, and the need for lifestyle adjustments.He highlighted the emotional and psychological impact of prostate cancer, stressing the importance of support for both patients and their partners.Gordon advised others to stay informed, seek support networks, and make timely, well-considered decisions about their health and treatment options.----Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

This episode on Integrative Cancer Solutions features a heartfelt and candid conversation with Rita Hogan, an herbalist and cancer survivor, who shares her deeply personal journey through illness, caregiving, and self-discovery. The discussion begins with Rita recounting her partner’s diagnosis with aggressive breast cancer, the emotional turmoil that followed, and their pursuit of holistic therapies after traditional medicine offered little hope. Rita’s role as a full-time caregiver took a significant toll on her own health, leading her to neglect her well-being while supporting her partner through years of treatment and eventual loss. Rita’s own health crisis emerged in 2017 when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, a turning point that forced her to confront the consequences of chronic stress and self-neglect. She describes the late diagnosis, the radical surgery she underwent, and her decision to decline chemotherapy and radiation in favor of alternative healing methods rooted in her expertise as an herbalist. This period of recovery was marked by profound emotional challenges, including survivor’s guilt and the need to process years of accumulated trauma and grief. A central theme of the conversation is the importance of boundaries and the transformative power of saying no. Rita reflects on the societal pressures that often compel women to prioritize others at the expense of their own health, and how cancer taught her to value self-care and assert her needs. She emphasizes that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness, and shares how learning to set boundaries was essential for her healing and personal growth. The discussion also delves into the role of alternative therapies, such as flower essences and dietary changes, in supporting emotional and physical recovery. Rita highlights the significance of mindset, language, and surrounding oneself with supportive relationships, noting that healing is as much about emotional well-being as it is about physical health. She shares practical advice for both patients and caregivers, encouraging them to focus on hope, joy, and individualized approaches to healing. In conclusion, this episode offers a powerful narrative of resilience, transformation, and the ongoing journey of self-discovery after cancer. Rita’s story serves as an inspiration to others facing similar challenges, reminding listeners that healing is a multifaceted process that requires courage, self-compassion, and the willingness to embrace change. Her insights underscore the value of living authentically, prioritizing self-care, and finding meaning even in the most difficult circumstances.The conversation explores the emotional and physical journey of battling cancer, highlighting the impact of stress, caregiving, and personal trauma on health and healing.Rita Hogan shares her experience as both a caretaker and cancer survivor, emphasizing the importance of self-care, setting boundaries, and learning to say no.The discussion delves into alternative healing approaches, including herbalism, flower essences, and the role of emotional well-being in cancer recovery.Insights are offered on the power of language, mindset, and surrounding oneself with supportive, positive relationships during times of illness and transformation.The episode concludes with practical advice for both patients and caregivers, stressing the value of hope, joy, and individualized approaches to healing and life after cancer.----Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

Mollie Kallen, a former elementary educator and counselor, shares her deeply personal journey after being unexpectedly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in April 2023. Her story begins with the shock of diagnosis and the rapid transition from her professional life to becoming a full-time patient. Mollie describes the overwhelming emotions and uncertainty she faced, highlighting the importance of resilience and adaptability in the face of life-altering news. Throughout her treatment, which included multiple rounds of chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, Mollie emphasizes the critical role of self-advocacy. She discusses how taking an active role in her care—asking questions, seeking second opinions, and understanding her treatment options—empowered her to make informed decisions. Mollie encourages other patients to speak up and be proactive, stressing that self-advocacy can significantly impact outcomes and overall well-being. Mollie also underscores the value of building a strong support system, or a “village,” during cancer treatment. She credits her family, friends, and fellow patients for providing emotional and practical support throughout her journey. This network helped her navigate the physical and psychological challenges of treatment, offering encouragement, companionship, and assistance with daily tasks. Mollie’s experience demonstrates that no one should face cancer alone, and that community is a vital resource for healing. In addition to her personal story, Mollie advocates for better communication between patients and healthcare providers. She believes that open, honest dialogue is essential for effective care and encourages patients to utilize available resources such as counseling, yoga, and music therapy. Mollie highlights the need for practical tools and information to help patients and caregivers manage the complexities of cancer treatment, from understanding medical terminology to coping with side effects. Looking ahead, Mollie is channeling her experiences into advocacy and education.

This episode of Integratives Cancer Solutions features Jamie Bennett and Ryan Castle from Cancer Playbook, who share their personal motivations and experiences that led to the creation of their platform. Jamie, a 20-year endometriosis patient, describes how her own health challenges and the story of Jim Garre’s son’s battle with brain cancer inspired her to explore alternative therapies, particularly full extract cannabis oil (FECO), to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Ryan, a public health researcher, recounts his initial skepticism and how witnessing his father’s positive transformation from opioid use to medical cannabis convinced him of its potential. The conversation delves into the scientific foundation of Cancer Playbook, highlighting a large-scale meta-analysis conducted by Ryan. This study involved over 10,000 individuals and 1.8 million data points, revealing a 300% higher consensus in support of medical cannabis for cancer treatment compared to arguments against it. The team emphasizes the importance of rigorous vetting and peer review to ensure the reliability of their findings, which form the basis for the guidance they provide to patients. A key innovation discussed is the development of an interactive bot on the Cancer Playbook website, which leverages the meta-analysis data to offer personalized, evidence-based guidance to cancer patients. The bot provides information on dosage, scheduling, and potential adverse effects, and is designed to match patients with similar profiles to ensure relevant and consistent support. Weekly update surveys and a strong sense of community further enhance the patient experience. The episode also addresses concerns about the estrogenic effects of cannabis on certain cancers, with Jamie sharing her positive experiences and Ryan acknowledging the need for ongoing research in this area. The team stresses the importance of exploring a variety of cannabis products and approaches to support different cancer types, and they remain committed to expanding their research and support network. Throughout the discussion, real-life success stories are shared, including cases where FECO contributed to significant improvements in cancer outcomes.

On Integrative Cancer Solutions Dr. Michael Karlfeldt is here to provide hope and practical guidance for those facing a cancer diagnosis by sharing real stories of individuals who have successfully navigated their own cancer journeys using integrative and holistic methods. Dr. Karlfeldt welcomes Elaine Gibson, a cancer survivor and health coach, who expresses her excitement to share her experiences and inspire others. The conversation highlights the importance of exploring options beyond traditional cancer treatments and the value of learning from those who have walked a similar path. Elaine recounts her initial diagnosis of stage four non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2001. Despite a dire prognosis from her medical team, she was determined to find a way to heal. Her journey began with traditional treatments but quickly expanded to include alternative therapies, such as low-dose IPT and holistic approaches she discovered during a trip to Mexico. Elaine’s story is marked by resilience and a refusal to accept defeat, drawing on her background as an athlete to maintain a fighting spirit and a positive mindset throughout her treatment. As Elaine’s health improved, she became increasingly interested in the science behind healing and the role of lifestyle in disease prevention. Elaine adopted practices such as juicing, consuming ionized oxygenated water, and focusing on a plant-based diet. Elaine emphasizes the importance of understanding cellular health, particularly the need for oxygen and proper nutrition, and how these factors contribute to overall well-being. Her disciplined approach to daily routines, inspired by elite athletes, became the foundation for her long-term health and vitality. Elaine’s experience led her to dedicate her life to coaching women with cancer, helping them master a lifestyle that supports healing and longevity. She stresses the importance of accountability, support, and creating an environment conducive to health—starting with practical steps like setting up the kitchen and pantry, choosing the right ingredients, and establishing non-negotiable habits such as daily green juice and mindful intention. Elaine’s holistic philosophy incorporates elements like far infrared saunas, essential oils, and grounding practices, all aimed at empowering her clients to take control of their health. The episode concludes with Elaine reflecting on the broader impact of her work, not only on her clients but also on her own family and community. She shares her belief that the pain of discipline is far less than the pain of regret, encouraging listeners to make intentional choices that support long-term health.

Lisa Tarantino's journey with stage 3 endometrial cancer began in 2017 when she advocated for herself despite her gynecologist's initial reassurances. After receiving her diagnosis, she underwent multiple surgeries and chemotherapy, facing complications including sepsis and genetic challenges with low white blood cell counts. When her oncology team simply advised her to "go home and live her life," Lisa found this guidance insufficient and fell into depression. Lisa's turning point came when she attended the Annie Appleseed cancer convention, where she discovered integrative specialists and the concept of radical remission. Her faith became a cornerstone of her healing journey, providing stability amid the chaos of her diagnosis. She describes praying through difficult pathology reports and leaning on her spirituality to guide every treatment decision. This spiritual foundation led her to join a supportive Christian church community in Florida. A key aspect of Lisa's recovery was her commitment to becoming the "CEO" of her own health. She navigated the challenges of conventional treatment while incorporating integrative therapies, despite facing resistance from some medical professionals. Lisa transitioned from a ketogenic diet to a plant-based approach as recommended by her traditional Chinese medical doctor. She also emphasized the importance of mindset work and releasing suppressed emotions as essential components of healing. Lisa's personal transformation included setting boundaries, removing toxic relationships from her life, and becoming more assertive about her needs. She found purpose in starting a cancer support group at her church, where she now helps others navigate their own cancer journeys. Her experience highlights the importance of having someone to advocate for patients during oncologist appointments and helping them understand their treatment options. Throughout her interview, Lisa emphasizes that cancer, while challenging, can present an opportunity for positive life changes and discovering new purpose. She encourages patients not to feel alone and to maintain hope throughout their journey. Lisa's story demonstrates how integrating conventional medicine, alternative therapies, spiritual practice, and community support can create a comprehensive approach to cancer treatment and recovery.Lisa Tarantino shares her journey with stage 3 endometrial cancer, emphasizing how she advocated for herself when her gynecologist initially dismissed her concerns.After conventional treatments and complications including sepsis, Lisa found hope at the Annie Appleseed cancer convention where she discovered integrative approaches and the concept of radical remission.Faith became the cornerstone of Lisa's healing journey, providing stability through difficult medical decisions and eventually leading her to start a cancer support group at her church.Lisa stresses the importance of being the "CEO" of your own health, which includes setting boundaries with toxic people, making informed treatment decisions, and incorporating nutrition changes like her shift to a plant-based diet.Despite challenges with conventional oncologists who didn't discuss nutrition or lifestyle factors, Lisa transformed her experience into a mission to support other cancer patients through advocacy and community building.----Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

Karla Mans Giroux shares her powerful cancer journey that began with a breast cancer diagnosis in 2003 at age 37. After undergoing conventional treatments including mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation, and tamoxifen, she experienced a metastatic recurrence eleven years later. This wake-up call prompted Karla to make radical lifestyle changes, focusing primarily on nutrition by adopting a vegetable-based diet and detoxifying her home environment. With the guidance of a cancer coach and later an integrative oncologist, Karla's health began to improve. When she developed a liver tumor after a year and a half, her integrative approach focusing on nutrition, exercise, and mind-body-spirit wellness led to the complete resolution of the tumor within six months. She has now been stable with no evidence of disease for eight years, attributing her success to these comprehensive lifestyle changes. Inspired by Dr. Kelly Turner's book "Radical Remission," which details ten common healing factors among survivors of spontaneous remissions, Carla found herself resonating with many of these factors. After attending Dr. Turner's workshop in 2018, she decided to become a radical remission coach herself and eventually became co-director of the radical remission project alongside her business partner, Liz Curran. The ten healing factors Karla emphasizes include diet changes, exercise, herbs and supplements, releasing suppressed emotions, increasing positive emotions, embracing spirituality and intuition, finding strong reasons for living, building social support, and personal empowerment. She stresses that each individual must determine which factors are most important for their unique situation, as they span physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of health. Throughout her story, Karla highlights the critical importance of social support in healing, encouraging people to identify their strengths and be willing to receive help from others. She emphasizes that managing cancer as a chronic disease requires continuous healthy habits and self-care, and that integrating conventional and alternative therapies under professional guidance offers the best approach to sustained remission and overall well-being.Karla Mans Giroux overcame metastatic breast cancer through radical lifestyle changes, including a plant-based diet and detoxification of her home environment, after conventional treatments alone failed to prevent recurrence.After discovering Dr. Kelly Turner's book "Radical Remission," Karla became a coach and co-director of the radical remission project to help others implement the ten healing factors found among cancer survivors.The ten healing factors include diet changes, exercise, supplements, emotional healing, spirituality, finding purpose, building social support, and personal empowerment—with each person needing to determine which factors are most important for their unique situation.Karla's liver tumor completely resolved within six months of working with an integrative oncologist who focused on nutrition, exercise, and mind-body-spirit wellness.Social support is crucial for healing, with Karla emphasizing that it's more important than many other health habits combined, and that managing cancer requires viewing it as a chronic condition that needs continuous healthy habits.----Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

On this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions Dr. Karlfeldt is joined by Rick Hill and we hear Rick's remarkable cancer survival story that spans over four decades and represents a powerful testament to alternative cancer treatments. Diagnosed with cancer and initially treated at the prestigious Mayo Clinic, Rick underwent grueling surgeries that left him questioning the conventional medical approach. A pivotal moment came when he received a letter from John Valentine that convinced him to leave the Mayo Clinic and seek alternative treatments in Tijuana, Mexico. Despite initial skepticism about the dramatic lifestyle changes required, Rick committed to this new path that would ultimately save his life. Central to Rick's recovery was his connection to Dr. John Richardson and the Richardson Protocol, which successfully treated approximately 4,000 patients, many in stage four cancer. Rick criticizes the medical establishment for revoking Dr. Richardson's medical license and imprisoning him despite his remarkable success rate. The treatment protocol centered around vitamin B17 (Laetrile) and other natural extracts, combined with comprehensive lifestyle changes including colonics, fasting, juicing, and strict organic diets. Rick emphasizes how these treatments worked synergistically to support his immune system rather than simply targeting the cancer with toxic drugs. The journey required tremendous personal commitment and lifestyle transformation. Rick describes the challenges of adapting to a completely new diet and treatment regimen, acknowledging the initial difficulty and boredom that came with such drastic changes. He had to navigate skepticism from family members and the medical establishment while maintaining his commitment to alternative treatments. Rick also mentions his involvement in what he calls "low-key smuggling" to obtain necessary treatments across borders, highlighting the regulatory obstacles faced by those seeking alternative cancer therapies. Throughout his interview, Rick strongly criticizes the pharmaceutical industry's financial motivations for suppressing alternative treatments and the medical establishment's focus on drugs rather than immune system support. He expresses optimism about current political developments, particularly mentioning Bobby Kennedy's efforts toward "chemical freedom" and crossing party lines to address these issues. Rick emphasizes that his long-term survival demonstrates the effectiveness of alternative approaches when patients have the persistence and commitment to maintain healthy lifestyle changes. Rick's story extends beyond personal survival to advocacy and education. He authored a book titled "Too Young to Die" to raise awareness about alternative cancer treatments and continues to support other patients seeking similar paths. He expresses interest in collaborating with healthcare providers to help patients access alternative treatments and emphasizes the critical importance of community support, freedom of choice in cancer treatment, and the need for persistence in maintaining the lifestyle changes that support long-term cancer survival. His four-decade journey serves as both inspiration and practical guidance for others facing similar diagnoses.Rick Hill left the Mayo Clinic after receiving a letter from John Valentine and sought alternative cancer treatments in Tijuana, Mexico, leading to over 40 years of cancer-free survival.Dr. John Richardson successfully treated approximately 4,000 cancer patients (many stage four) with the Richardson Protocol using vitamin B17 (Laetrile) and natural extracts, but had his medical license revoked and was imprisoned by the medical establishment.Rick's recovery required dramatic lifestyle changes including strict organic diets, colonics, fasting, juicing, and complete commitment to natural treatments that support the immune system rather than toxic drugs.He criticizes the pharmaceutical industry's financial motivations for suppressing alternative treatments and expresses optimism about current political efforts, particularly Bobby Kennedy's work toward "chemical freedom."Rick authored the book "Too Young to Die" to raise awareness about alternative cancer treatments and continues advocating for patient freedom of choice and community support in cancer treatment decisions.----Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

This episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions Dr. Michael Karlfeldt features an interview with Jackie Rosett Zafke on where she shares her powerful journey of how thermography saved her life. Jackie explains that mammography failed her for over a decade, leading her to seek alternative screening methods. She discovered thermography, a non-invasive, radiation-free imaging technique that detects temperature changes in breast tissue. This method revealed vascular activity that confirmed her suspicion of a cancerous tumor, something that traditional mammograms had missed for years. Jackie's diagnostic journey was challenging, involving multiple ultrasounds, mammograms, and eventually an MRI that showed a high bi-rad score indicating malignancy. After receiving her biopsy results showing ER+, PR+, HER2-, and a specific Ki-67 score, she made the difficult decision to undergo a bilateral mastectomy. The surgery involved removing 47 lymph nodes, and the immediate pathology report confirmed the presence of cancer. Throughout this process, Jackie emphasizes her gratitude for her surgeon's quick decision-making and thorough approach. Following her surgery, Jackie focused on comprehensive healing and recovery, working with Dr. Susan Silverstein to create an integrative healing team. Her approach included physical therapy to address lymphedema challenges, dietary changes based on food sensitivity tests, and incorporating various holistic practitioners and therapies. She made a significant decision regarding chemotherapy, choosing to stop after one dose following what she describes as an audible message from the Lord, and instead focused on natural and integrative healing methods while avoiding radiation and pharmaceuticals. Jackie's experience transformed her into a certified integrative nutrition health coach and holistic cancer coach, allowing her to support others facing similar challenges. Jackie emphasizes the importance of addressing root causes of cancer through consistent self-care, proper nutrition, exercise, and emotional well-being. Her website, bestforyouhealth.com, serves as a resource for those seeking healing and support. Jackie's story demonstrates the value of persistence in seeking alternative diagnostic methods and the power of integrative approaches to cancer treatment and recovery.Jackie Rosett Zafke shares how thermography, a non-invasive radiation-free imaging technique, successfully detected her breast cancer after mammograms failed to identify it for over a decade.Following her cancer diagnosis confirmed through biopsy results showing ER+, PR+, HER2- markers, Jackie chose to undergo a bilateral mastectomy with removal of 47 lymph nodes.Jackie made the personal decision to stop chemotherapy after just one dose, citing a spiritual message, and instead focused on natural and integrative healing methods while avoiding radiation and pharmaceuticals.Her recovery approach included working with Dr. Susan Silverstein to build a comprehensive healing team, incorporating physical therapy, dietary changes based on food sensitivity testing, and various holistic practitioners.Jackie's experience led her to become a certified integrative nutrition health coach and holistic cancer coach, now helping others through her website bestforyouhealth.com and emphasizing the importance of addressing cancer's root causes through consistent self-care.----Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

On this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions Host Dr. Michael Karlfeldt features an interview with Ingrid Hu Dahl, a TED Talk speaker, motivational coach, and author of the memoir "Sun Shining on Morning Snow" which is scheduled for release on June 11, 2025. During the conversation, Ingrid discusses her motivation for writing the book, which is dedicated to her mother who passed away from stage four undifferentiated spindle cell endometrial cancer. Ingrid shares the emotional journey of her mother's illness, including the challenges of caregiving from a distance during the COVID-19 pandemic and the complex visa process required to visit Taiwan. Despite her illness, Ingrid's mother maintained her determination to live fully, even pursuing a third master's degree. The conversation explores the cultural aspects of discussing prognosis in Taiwan and how this influenced her mother's approach to her illness. A significant portion of the interview focuses on Ingrid's experiences with "automatic writing," through which she believes she received communications from her mother after death.

In this podcast episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions Dr. Karlfeldt interviews Dr. Chris Apfel about his integrative approaches to cancer treatment. Dr. Apfel shares his journey from traditional medicine to integrative oncology, sparked by his father's lung cancer diagnosis. This personal experience led him to question conventional cancer treatments after learning about their low success rates, particularly for stage four lung cancer.Dr. Apfel discusses his development of the SAGE Oncotest, which can identify effective cancer therapies within a week by culturing tumor fragments. This test evaluates a wide range of treatments including chemotherapies, targeted therapies, and repurposed drugs. He emphasizes the importance of avoiding ineffective treatments that can harm the immune system and diminish quality of life, while highlighting the potential of repurposed drugs like statins, Metformin, and Itraconazole. The conversation addresses tumor heterogeneity and the need for representative biopsy samples, particularly from metastatic sites. Dr. Apfel explains that the SAGE Oncotest is commercially available, with discounts offered to patients willing to share their data for research purposes. He discusses various methods for obtaining tumor samples and the importance of timing in the collection process.Dr. Apfel emphasizes patient advocacy and the need for patients to be informed about their treatment options. He notes that the SAGE Oncotest can double the odds of a positive tumor response and significantly increase median survival rates. The podcast concludes with Dr. Apfel expressing interest in collaborating with Dr. Folt's center to help more cancer patients through this innovative approach to personalized cancer treatment.About Dr Chris Apfel:Chris Apfel, MD, PhD, MBA is a physician and clinical researcher with over 100 published papers, including a six-factor clinical prediction model published in NEJM that led to the development of The Apfel Score, a clinical calculator used universally to predict the risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and Dr Apfel’s ultimate recruitment to the US and the University of California, San Francisco.Dr. Apfel was driven to revolutionize the field of cancer patient treatment after losing his mother to a long battle with ovarian cancer and his father to lung cancer.
