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

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

Holds a Master's in Biostatistics and Epidemiology from Dartmouth. Experience in adult and pediatric oncology and survivorship, emphasizing patient health during and post-treatment. Focus on Survivorship and Healthy Practices Dedicated to helping families with post-cancer treatment care, particularly in children. Addresses potential contributors to cancer such as environmental factors and genetics. Aims to prevent early onset of chronic conditions commonly seen in older adults, like high blood pressure or diabetes, which can appear prematurely in pediatric cancer survivors. Supplement Use During and After Cancer Treatment Recommends consistent use of supplements during active treatment to protect against side effects (e.g., heart protection during Adriamycin chemotherapy with CoQ10 or L-carnitine). Supports taking breaks from supplements for patient sanity, especially in survivorship. Practices rotating supplements (e.g., different probiotics or herbs) to provide variety to the body. Perspective on Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) Tests Skeptical about the current effectiveness of CTC tests in predicting cancer relapse. Prefers not to use tests that won't immediately influence clinical decisions. Importance of Genomic and Microbiome Testing Finds genomic testing crucial for identifying issues such as methylation defects and vitamin absorption problems. Values stool and microbiome testing, especially post-chemotherapy, to assess and address the impact on digestive tract health and immunity. Food Sensitivity and Allergy Testing Conducts food sensitivity testing to identify delayed hypersensitivity reactions. Advises against testing during allergy medication or steroid use due to potential false negatives. Lab Utilization and Genomic Data Concerns Uses various labs for testing, including U.S. Biotech, Great Plains, Genova Diagnostics, and Labrix. Notes the changes in available genomic data from services like 23andMe and the shift towards using other platforms or dedicated testing services. Discusses patient concerns regarding genetic data privacy, potential misuse by insurance companies, and the fear of discrimination based on genetic predisposition to diseases. Approach to Post-Cancer Treatment Testing Dr. Niesley is selective about testing, preferring to address obvious issues like gut health directly before employing extensive tests. Believes in using tests to identify overlooked issues rather than as an initial blanket approach. Advises against immediate detox post-chemotherapy, suggesting a 30-day period for natural recovery before starting detoxification. Pediatric Oncology and Clinical Trials Explains the complexity of using supplements like mistletoe and IV vitamin C in pediatric patients, especially those in clinical trials. Clinical trials in pediatric oncology have led to significant advancements in treatment and survival rates. Emphasizes the need for systematic approaches in treatment to continue improving long-term survival. Supplement Use with Regard to Chemotherapy and Immune System Recommends spacing supplements around chemotherapy schedules to avoid interference. Suggests using immune-supportive supplements like astragalus, ashwagandha, vitamin D, and vitamin A outside of chemotherapy weeks. Advises against using mushroom extracts during chemotherapy for blood cancers, instead opting for alternatives that support the immune system without stimulating malignant cells. Strategic Supplement and Dietary Support Advocates for the careful selection of supplements and dietary changes that have multiple health benefits. Stresses the importance of bone health, especially in patients on steroids, recommending vitamin D supplementation. Recommends working closely with a qualified naturopathic doctor for personalized care. Dietary Considerations for Neuroblastoma Polyamine restriction is discussed, with particular emphasis on its relevance for high-risk neuroblastoma patients, especially those with NMIC amplification. For intermediate-risk patients doing well, polyamine restriction may not be as crucial but is still considered. Polyamine avoidance is increasingly prioritized in integrative therapy plans for neuroblastoma. Integrative Support for High-Risk Neuroblastoma Discusses the importance of comprehensive integrative support for high-risk children, emphasizing the need to maintain overall health during treatment. Considers the use of high-dose vitamin C and other IV therapies for additional support. Genistein, derived from soy, is mentioned as having beneficial properties supported by research in various cancers. Collaborative Care Approach Advocates for creating a robust integrative care team to manage symptoms and support overall health during cancer treatment. Emphasizes the value of having multiple sources of information and support, rather than relying on a single provider. ********Get every full two hour call in Going Integrative Plus and ask your questions live directly to the top integrative cancer doctors in the world!*********

He delves into alchemy and spagyria. Phoenix is not only an alchemist but also a spagyria practitioner who creates tinctures and works directly with individuals seeking healing. Incorporation of Ancient Practices: Discussion about Phoenix's medieval-style clothing. Phoenix prefers handcrafted, organic Baltic linen clothes for their functionality, sustainability, and ethical considerations. Philosophy & Approach: Phoenix Aurelius Research Academy's mission is to research holistic aspects of health, ecology, agriculture, and human nature. Emphasis on multi-dimensional anatomy which includes the physical, subtle energy (thoughts and emotions), astral, causal, mental, and spiritual aspects of being. The importance of addressing all these dimensions for complete wellness. Clinical Trials & Experience: Phoenix has conducted over 900 clinical trials using subtle methods and spagyrics to treat a range of conditions from radiation poisoning to Hashimoto's disease and cancers. Phoenix's clientele often consists of individuals who've exhausted other traditional and alternative treatments. The Astral Body and its Origins The term "Astra" is Latin for star. Theophrastus Bombastus Paracelsus, born around 1492, introduced Spagyric medicine in the early 1500s. Paracelsus believed diseases could come from external sources. He recognized five macro-causations of disease, with one being the influence of stars, termed "inza." Modern interpretation relates the movement and positioning of stars and planets to diseases, suggesting their gravitational and electromagnetic fields impact human health. The astral body corresponds with stars, where each organ is a reflection of a star. Historical Overview of Alchemy Alchemy's origin traces back to Egypt, a practice kept by priests and pharaohs for spiritual and industrial purposes. Greeks adopted alchemy, followed by Arabs who began medicinal applications. By the time the knowledge reached Europe, it got a tainted reputation due to charlatans. Paracelsus shifted the focus of alchemy from materialistic pursuits to healing, using alchemical knowledge for medicine. Introduction to Spagyric Medicine Spagyric medicine was developed by Paracelsus as a way to use alchemy for healing. Paracelsian physicians became popular in France and England. The medical approach contrasts with the Galenic medicine, which relies on the balance of four elemental humors in the body. Paracelsus believed the scope of what can create disease and illness was vast, and he utilized natural materials to craft medicines. Creation of Gold and Diamonds Modern science can create diamonds, sparking debate over the possibility of making gold. Historically, alchemists referred to the Philosopher's Stone which, in two forms, could transmute baser metals into silver (white stone) or gold (red stone). The debate remains on whether this transmutation is atomic in nature or simply makes the metal behave like gold. Value of Agriculture Over Precious Metals Phoenix Aurelius suggests that in pressing times, the intrinsic value of agriculture and basic necessities outweighs that of gold. Ryan Sternagel's personal experiences shifted his focus from collecting gold to preparing with essential commodities like rice and beans. Holistic Approach to Health and Disease Phoenix Aurelius emphasizes treating the patient, not just the disease, as different individuals can have varied causes for similar ailments. Different categories of disease causes include natural factors, spirits or electromagnetic energies, and transgressions of one's conscience. Not all treatments work universally; their effectiveness depends on the root cause of the disease. For example, cannabinoids might address cancer for some people but not others, depending on the underlying cause. Impact of Personal Choices on Health and World Actions that go against one's conscience can negatively affect health. There's a macrocosmic link between personal health and larger world issues. Working for companies that suppress information or harm the environment can have broader repercussions. However, awareness is crucial. Some people may work in such environments without it affecting their conscience. Still, raising awareness and striving for a better world can lead to collective health and wellness. Phoenix Aurelius on Disease Causes The process starts by analyzing the individual. Identification of different causes of disease: ancestral, toxins (ins veneni), electromagnetic phenomena (ins spirituale), and transgression of conscience. Criticism of traditional Western tropical astrology; it doesn't relate to individual health. Introduction of Astronomology: A more accurate astrological approach, focusing on actual constellations' sizes and planetary positions. Importance of comparing birth chart to the onset of a disease for accurate diagnosis. Observations on the link between the position of Mars and health issues during the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically hemoglobinemia. Phoenix Aurelius on Spagyric Process Spagyric medicine focuses on separating and then recombining elements of plants. Everything consists of sulfur, mercury, and salt representing the soul, spirit, and body of all things. Details on two types of sulfur: volatile oils (essential oil) and fixed sulfur (plant extracts). Creation of spirits through fermentation and distillation, yielding alcohol. Explanation of incineration and calcination processes to obtain salt, primarily potassium carbonate. The final spagyric tincture is a blend of the essential oil complex, plant extracts, and potassium carbonate, resulting in unique chemical reactions. Comparison of herbal and spagyric tinctures, with spagyric tinctures being more potent and efficient. Spagyric Tinctures: Potency and Application Spagyric tinctures utilize the entire plant, ensuring no waste. These tinctures are enriched with esters and phytochemicals not present in regular herbal tinctures. Spagyric tinctures are more potent than herbal tinctures. Due to their sublingual application, these tinctures have an extended presence in the bloodstream, lasting up to 24 hours, compared to the 2-3 hours of most herbal medicines. The sublingual method allows for faster absorption directly into the bloodstream. Discussion on Specific Herbs for Cancer and Dermatological Conditions Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis): Traditional herb used for cancers, especially when applied topically for skin cancers like melanoma. Bloodroot is rich in sanguinarine, clethrin, and berberine, which possess anti-cancer properties. Bloodroot spagyric tincture contains unique chemicals that haven't been named in modern chemistry. The tincture, taken internally, can be beneficial against cancers like leukemia and those affecting bone marrow. However, it is essential to be cautious with the dosage to avoid toxicological risks. Mistletoe (Viscum album): European mistletoe, specifically from oak trees, is used. Widely researched in Europe, mistletoe extracts have been deemed safe and effective against cancer. They're even used for IV and localized injections. Chaparral Chaparral grows in the American Southwest and is harvested in New Mexico. Considered a potent antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal herb. Historical use by natives for treating cancers and other conditions. Contains NDGA, a chemical that inhibits the growth and spread of cancer cells. Also rich in an antioxidant enzyme called SOD, potentially more than any other plant. Mistletoe & Chaparral Formulation The formulation contains three-quarters mistletoe and one-quarter chaparral. Mistletoe is safe for all stages of cancer and post-cancer. It also alleviates side effects of traditional treatments like chemo and radiation. Effective on all types of cancer and sites in the body. Codenopsis in Traditional Chinese Medicine Known as Dangxun, sometimes referred to as a "poor man's ginseng." Nourishes the blood and vital fluids. Addresses blood deficiencies often seen in cancer cases from a TCM perspective. Balances white and red blood cell levels and supports various organ functions. Oregon Grape Properties Used to stimulate healthy liver function. Has antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. Effective against HHV4 (Epstein Barr virus) which is found with many cancers. Contains berberine, a component that's aggressive against cancer and various infections. Holy Basil Grows in various regions, with its roots in traditional Indian medicine.
About This Episode Dr. Paul Anderson, based in Seattle, shares transformative insights on holistic approaches to cancer.  He emphasizes clean eating's pivotal role in cancer prevention, treatment strategies based on cancer stages, and highlights the importance of monitoring cancer stem cells (CSCs). Diving deep into IV Vitamin C treatment, Anderson notes its unique capability to harm cancer cells while supporting healthy ones.  Furthermore, he discusses the rapidly evolving landscape of Circulating Tumor Cell Tests and their significance in monitoring cancer.  For those navigating the cancer journey or seeking holistic health insights, this interview offers a wealth of knowledge. Dive into the summary or watch/listen for comprehensive understanding. Resources Mentioned: Dr. Paul Anderson’s Website "Outside the Box Cancer Therapies" (book) Tests: RGCC CellSearch Biocept Maintrac IvyGene High dose, concentrated mushroom extracts Exogenous ketones Vitamin B3 Nicotinamide riboside Detailed Summary Introduction by Ryan: Dr. Anderson was Ryan's son's naturopathic oncologist. Ryan appreciated Dr. Anderson's vast knowledge and ability to answer difficult questions. Dr. Paul Anderson's Introduction and Background: Based in Seattle, Washington. Met Ryan during the treatment of Ryan's son, Ryder. His practice is divided into two equal parts: Treating patients with cancer, including children (which is uncommon). Treating individuals with complicated chronic illnesses unrelated to cancer. Teaches doctors and emphasizes on sharing knowledge. Co-authored the book "Outside the Box Cancer Therapy" with Dr. Stangler. Working on another book focusing on the emotional aspects and process of being diagnosed with cancer. Comparison between Naturopathic Oncologists and Integrative Medical Doctors: Dr. Anderson emphasizes practical experience, learning from patients. He offers specialized treatments, including IV therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, hyperthermia therapies, etc. Naturopathic oncologists and integrative MDs can both be limited in their treatments by the hospitals or systems they work in. Discussion on IV Vitamin C Treatment: Dr. Anderson is recognized internationally for his expertise on this topic. Benefits can be gained from both low and high doses of IV vitamin C, depending on the application. The amount needed can vary based on body weight and the specific health of the patient. High doses can range from 50-100 grams for most adult-sized individuals. Vitamin C remains in the system for about 24 hours post-IV. Vitamin C is unique in that it harms cancer cells while supporting healthy cells. Lower doses (around 10-15 grams) can provide significant improvements in quality of life for frail or end-of-life patients. Circulating Tumor Cell Tests: Have improved over time; past versions like RGCC and CellSearch were not as accurate. Technology is rapidly changing and affecting the reliability of these tests. Biocept, Maintrac, and IVY gene are currently used tests. These tests are especially useful for: Monitoring cancer in remission or no evidence of disease. Tracking the effectiveness of ongoing treatments. Treatment Strategies Based on Cancer Stage: Late Stage: Urgency in treatment is crucial. Need a holistic approach, addressing dietary habits, toxins, infections, hormones, and overall health. Aim to grab the cancer's attention and slow its progression. Early Stage: There's more flexibility in treatment approaches. Focus can be on non-cancer issues like detoxifying, balancing hormones, improving gut health, and addressing mental health. Treatment options can include concentrated mushroom extracts, metabolic treatments like exogenous ketones, or even dietary shifts such as raw vegan diets. Post-Cancer Treatment: Post chemotherapy and radiation, there's an increased risk for secondary cancers because they can stimulate cancer stem cells. Importance of recovery after initial treatments and secondary prevention to ensure recurrence doesn't occur. Repairing the body and suppressing cancer stem cells is essential. Diet's Impact on Cancer: No single "best" diet for cancer elimination; however, diet plays a pivotal role. Emphasis on clean eating: Avoid processed foods, chemicals, pesticides, and herbicides. A shift in diet can have a noticeable effect on cancer within 1-3 months. Key Dietary Recommendations: Intermittent Fasting (IF): IF for even 13 hours has shown to reduce the recurrence of breast cancer. It activates autophagy (cell cleaning) and has other metabolic benefits. Diet Cleanliness: Remove junk and chemicals from diet. Plant-based Spectrum: High in polyphenols, fiber, dense nutrients, and low in simple carbs. Raw food diets can quickly get the body's attention. Ketogenic Spectrum: Shifts body metabolism and may be beneficial against certain types of cancers. It's crucial to balance protein intake since excess protein can be converted into sugar. Modified Mediterranean Diet: High plant-based with clean protein and fat sources, minimal grains. Diet Adaptability: Initial diet is about getting the body's attention; it might differ from the long-term diet. Both ketogenic and raw food diets have shown positive effects on patients with various cancer types. Adapt the diet based on what a person can do and tolerate. Long-term success requires consistency in dietary habits. Observational Cases: Noted a patient surviving stage 3/4 breast cancer for over 15 years primarily using a ketogenic diet. Other cases showed success with a raw food diet transitioned into a modified vegetarian diet. Regular Monitoring: Emphasizes tracking certain blood work indicators (e.g., LDH, alkaline phosphatase, GGT) regularly. These markers can provide insights into inflammation, oxygen levels, and overall body health. Monitoring helps catch subtle shifts in the body's health, guiding adjustments in treatments and dietary habits. Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) Insights: CSCs are smarter than regular tumor cells (daughter cells). While treatments like chemotherapy or radiation can reduce tumor size, they might make one prone to relapses because CSCs hide and wait. Many people have dormant CSCs in their bodies. The challenge is to keep these cells inactive. CSCs can recruit normal cells to become cancerous. CSC Triggers & Management: One major trigger for CSCs is inflammation. Inflammation sources include lack of exercise, poor diet, toxins, infections. Healthier lifestyles, such as better diets and regular exercise, produce anti-cancer metabolic triggers. Intermittent fasting and periodic longer fasts can slow CSC activity. Diet, detox, and addressing specific toxic exposures can help maintain an environment less favorable for CSC growth. NAD Therapy Insights: NAD is essential for energy production in mitochondria. High doses of NAD can be problematic for those with cancer because some cancers can utilize excess NAD for growth. For those with a cancer history, lower dose NAD therapy can be considered safe. In active cancer cases, high-dose NAD therapy should be avoided. Oral supplementation with nicotinamide riboside can help, but high doses may pose risks. Resources and Contacts: Book recommendation: "Outside the Box Cancer Therapies" provides practical insights into cancer treatments.

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