In this episode of Keeping Abreast with Dr. Jenn, I sit down with Dr. Lucas Tims, a leading expert in integrative oncology, to discuss the growing breast cancer epidemic and the value of a holistic approach to cancer care. We dive into integrative therapies such as IV nutrients, medicinal mushrooms, mistletoe therapy, and lifestyle changes that support both prevention and recovery. Dr. Tims shares his knowledge on immune suppression, genetic factors, and the critical role of addressing root causes in cancer treatment.

In this episode you'll:

• Discover Mistletoe Therapy: A standard treatment in Europe, mistletoe offers alternative support for cancer patients.
• Learn About U.S. Medical Gaps: Lack of communication on supplements and alternative therapies in the U.S. healthcare system leaves patients uninformed.
• Explore Integrative Approaches: Combining conventional and holistic methods leads to a more personalized, comprehensive treatment plan.
• Understand Immune Suppression: Chronic infections, dental issues, and toxins (like mold) contribute to weakened immunity, making it essential to address these factors.
• Uncover Medicinal Mushrooms & LDN: Discover the benefits of medicinal mushrooms in cancer care and how low-dose naltrexone (LDN) can manage autoimmune diseases.
• Empower Yourself: Understand the importance of thorough discussions and informed consent in cancer treatment decisions.
• Shift Focus to Root Causes: Learn the value of focusing on the root causes of disease, not just managing symptoms.
