Here I explain the lymphatic system, a crucial bodily network for overall health and appearance. I explain how the lymphatic system works to remove cellular waste and fluid from your organs and combat infections. I provide science-based tools that support your lymphatic system for the sake of health and appearance, including: how to reduce fluid retention in your limbs, trunk or face, how to eliminate 'bags' under your eyes and brain fog, and how to improve cardiac health and longevity. Because your lymphatic system lacks a central pump, it needs the mechanical forces generated by specific types of bodily movement, breathing and pressure to circulate your lymph properly, and I explain how you can activate these. I also explain how to support optimal functioning of your glymphatic system, a brain- and spinal cord waste-clearing system active during sleep that is crucial for brain functioning and longevity, including to prevent dementia.

Medicus Pharma CEO Dr Raza Bokhari joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a major clinical milestone — the enrollment of the first patient in the company's SKNJCT-004 Phase 2 clinical trial in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The study aims to evaluate a non-invasive treatment for basal cell carcinoma (BCC), the most common form of skin cancer. The multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will enroll 36 patients across six leading medical institutions in the UAE, including Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Shakbout Medical City, Burjeel Medical City, Rashid Hospital, Clemenceau Medical Center, and American Hospital of Dubai. Dr. Bokhari explained that the study will assess the efficacy and safety of two dose levels of Medicus Pharma's proprietary D-MNA (drug-coated microneedle array) compared to a placebo control. Participants will be randomized into three groups, a placebo-controlled group receiving P-MNA, a low-dose group receiving 100μg of D-MNA, and a high-dose group receiving 200μg of D-MNA. The 200μg dose represents the maximum level previously used in the company's successful Phase 1 safety and tolerability trial (SKNJCT-001), completed in March 2021. Dr. Bokhari emphasized that this next phase marks a significant step forward for Medicus Pharma's mission to develop non-invasive dermatological treatments that can potentially eliminate the need for surgical excision in certain skin cancer cases. With recruitment underway and multiple top-tier hospitals participating, the SKNJCT-004 study positions Medicus Pharma at the forefront of innovative, patient-friendly oncology solutions in the Middle East and beyond. #proactiveinvestors #nasdaq #mdcx #tsxv #mdcx #pharma #Biotech #CancerTreatment #ClinicalTrials #FDAApproval #SkinCancer #HealthcareInnovation #Investing #MedicalResearch #SkinCancer #BasalCellCarcinoma #BiotechNews #CancerResearch #UAEHealth #NonInvasiveTherapy #Doxorubicin #ClinicalTrials #HealthcareInnovation

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is expanding on his promise to preserve vaccine access across the commonwealth… after a reversal on recommendations from the federal government. Pennsylvania researchers are pushing back against the recent announcement from the White House of a direct link between autism and the use of the painkiller acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania are exploring a treatment that uses a patient’s own body in a surprising way to fight cancer.

It is essential for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) to have a foundation of care prior to discharge after their cancer treatment, and the multidisciplinary care team, including primary care providers (PCPs), must be equipped to support these patients. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Scott J. Capozza, PT, MSPT, on his journey navigating care after cancer treatment as a young adult and his ASCO JCO Oncology Practice article, “Patient is Otherwise Healthy.” CANCER BUZZ then speaks with Melody Griffith, MSW, LMSW, Outpatient Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Oncology social worker at Mayo Clinic Arizona, on her role in patient navigation and how her department supports AYAs through their entire cancer continuum. CANCER BUZZ concludes with Cathy Lee-Miller, MD, director of AYA Oncology Clinic at the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center, on their cohort training program preparing PCPs for managing AYA survivorship care.    “The late effects for young adults are very real and a lot of times they are not recognized because we look otherwise healthy on the outside, but that belies what's going on internally.” - Scott J. Capozza, PT, MSPT   “We talk about post-traumatic stress, but also post-traumatic growth and what they bring with them and what they've learned through their process. It's not just the treatment, right? After treatment, there's a lot of years left to live.” - Melody Griffith, MSW, LMSW   “We really try and help empower these patients, particularly AYAs who maybe relied on their parents for their medical care before... We really try to spell that out for people so they can take responsibility and take charge of their own long-term health.” - Cathy Lee-Miller, MD   Scott J.

When someone finishes a cancer treatment, it can feel like the end of the story. For many, it may just be the beginning–risk of recurrence looms, long-term medications (and their side effects) begin, and it’s hard to get your bearings. What do you really need to know?In this candid conversation, Katie sits down with Dr. Lillian Smyth, Senior Vice President and Global Development Head for Breast Cancer at Eli Lilly and Company, and LaShae Rolle, a breast cancer survivor, public health researcher, and powerlifter. Together, they explore what life after breast cancer treatment really looks like: from follow-up care and managing side effects to navigating fears about recurrence and finding strength in advocacy.This episode—created in partnership with Eli Lilly—is about more than medicine. It’s about empowerment: knowing your “normal,” asking the right questions, and embracing life following cancer treatment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Kearney Regional Medical Center – owned by Bryan Health – and Cancer Partners of Nebraska are coming together to open the Kearney Cancer Center, a 25,000-square-foot facility dedicated to cancer treatment. The center includes a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner to detect early signs of cancer, a linear accelerator for delivering radiation to treat tumors, and infusion bays with views of Yanney Park for chemotherapy patients. It will also offer on-site lab and diagnostic imaging, access to national clinical trials and certified mastectomy fitting.

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.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.

What if prostate cancer surgery meant fewer incisions, faster recovery, and more precise cancer control? Today I'm joined by Dr. Michael D. Stifelman, Chair of Urology at Hackensack University Medical Center and a pioneer in robotic surgery with 4,000+ robotic procedures. We unpack how single-port robotics, real-time margin assessment, and AI are reshaping outcomes—while protecting continence and erections.Dr. Stifelman traces robotics from the early-2000s “pioneer phase” (and heavy skepticism) to today's standard of care, explaining why reproducibility, visualization, and tissue-sparing dexterity made the difference. We compare surgery vs. radiation (and focal therapies), when each shines, and why sequencing often matters—especially in higher-risk disease. He shares emerging tech like single-port prostatectomy, intra-operative margin evaluation (e.g., Histo-style scanning), quantitative surgical analytics, and even remote robotic assistance. We also talk “trifecta” outcomes, the role of genomics in Gleason 7 decision-making, and why lifestyle medicine and optimizing the tumor micro-environment go hand-in-hand with any treatment.Time-Stamped Highlights00:00 – Why fewer incisions + faster recovery are now real in prostate surgery05:40 – Work–life changes that improved health (sleep, exercise, biking)09:10 – Open vs. robotic: why reproducibility (teachability) matters11:05 – Robotics adoption curve: from early resistance to mainstream19:05 – Outcomes today: continence and erections after modern surgery20:10 – “Yes, I'm a surgeon—and here's my bias.” Radical honesty with patients22:05 – Offering the full menu: surveillance, focal (HIFU/cryotherapy), surgery, SBRT, proton25:40 – High-risk (Gleason 8–9): why surgery-first can preserve options & avoid long ADT34:00 – Dexterity & visualization: why robots spare nerves with less trauma35:10 – Real-time margin assessment during surgery to reduce positives40:00 – The “trifecta” (cancer control, continence, erections) and patient priorities42:10 – Genomics to risk-stratify Gleason 7 and guide surveillance vs. treatment45:00 – Future: nerve activation mapping & fluorescence to “light up” cancer46:10 – Single-port prostatectomy: smaller access, faster return of function (select patients)49:00 – Quantifying surgery with analytics; tele-mentoring & remote console potential52:30 – How to find Dr. Stifelman & closing advice
