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. CAR T-Cell Therapy: A Breakthrough in Cancer Treatment and the Path Ahead | The Spark House lawmakers approved background checks to purchase any type of firearm in Pennsylvania. The proposal faces long odds of passing the state Senate. Property owners in Pennsylvania who are worried about landslides and sinkholes may soon be able to breathe easier, after the state House voted to create a state-backed insurance program to cover them. As the federal government shutdown enters its third day, access to 400 National Park Service sites is varying on a park-by-park basis. Here in Central Pennsylvania, the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center is remaining open and maintaining its regular hours for visitors. It's a different scene in Philadelphia. Thirty-three Pennsylvania counties will elect a sheriff on November 4th. And Lancaster is named to the list of "best small cities in America" as determined by WalletHub.

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.

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...

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.

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

MIT researchers developed a device for targeted bladder cancer drug delivery, leading to the creation of TARIS Biomedical, which was later acquired by Johnson & Johnson. The device, designed to integrate with existing urological procedures, delivers medication directly to the bladder over two weeks and is removed with a standard cystoscope. Clinical trials showed that over 80 percent of high-risk, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients had no evidence of disease after treatment, with more than half remaining cancer-free at nine months. The system received FDA approval and is being considered for use in other diseases.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Catharine has a PhD, MBA, BA Hons, and is a board-certified health coach.Catharine's journey into the fascinating world of algae began in 2008 when her younger sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would improve her healing. Catharine left her 25- year corporate career, leading her to algae - the most alkaline, chlorophyll-rich, high-protein, nutrient-dense food in the world. When Catharine learned that algae's vast healing properties were documented in tens of thousands of scientific studies but that none of these studies or benefits were known outside of Asia, she knew she needed to do something. And so ENERGYbits® was born. Catharine has spent the last fifteen years researching algae, writing papers, giving presentations, lecturing at conferences, and speaking on 300+ podcasts to explain the benefits of algae. To do this, she read thousands of scientific papers that detailed, validated, and confirmed algae's nutritional, health, longevity, and global benefits.  It is Catharine's vision and passion to change this and her PhD in natural health has given her the scientific fluency that allows her to explain algae with such simplicity and clarity, it quickly becomes obvious why algae is something we all urgently need.

In this episode I'm really excited to introduce you to Dr. Nasha Winters, who is author of the book "The Metabolic Approach to Cancer." She's a naturopathic doctor and founder of Metabolic Regen University and has created a metabolic approach to helping people prevent and address cancer and metabolic health disorders. I'm so glad she's here with me on How Humans Heal today. Because Dr. Nasha and I are both naturopathic doctors and graduated from naturopathic medical school at a similar time, our paths have crossed many times over the years. We are both passionate about sharing the message that health can be achieved by addressing the root cause of the health issue. We help patients figure out what's going on under the surface and help them understand what that means in terms of what they can implement to make a difference, especially related to cancer. Dr. Nasha's teaches around the world to both lay audiences and professional audiences, and created the Metabolic Regen University as a way to train clinicians in her approach to cancer. In this episode, Dr. Nasha shares her personal experience with ovarian cancer, how she healed herself, and how that inspired her to become a naturopathic doctor. We talk about high risk HPV related cancer, and cancer in general – how to think about it differently, and non-conventional ways to support healing. If you or someone you know is dealing with cancer, or at risk of cancer, this is an essential interview to listen to in your research process to identify alternative and integrative ways to prevent and address cancer, alongside conventional cancer treatment or if/when conventional approaches fail.

Dan Schmitt, President and CEO of Actuate Therapeutics, is developing a cancer therapy that inhibits GSK3β, a key enzyme that is hijacked in cancer cells to drive tumor growth. Inhibiting this enzyme can impact the cancer cells and stimulate an immune response against the tumor. Actuate selected metastatic pancreatic cancer as their first target due to unmet need and promising data for their lead drug candidate. This could represent a significant advancement in the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer, offering a new standard-of-care option.   Dan explains, "So, GSK-3β is a known quantity across a number of inflammatory diseases. It was understood when we first started the company that, particularly in cancer cells, GSK is hijacked in its activity. Basically it's been shown that in normal cells, GSK-3β sits in the cytoplasmic domain and there it's involved in multiple paths, basically in glucose metabolism. But in cancer cells, it translocates into the nuclear compartment, and there it's accumulated at much higher levels and then sits upstream of a pro-oncogenic set of pathways, all mediated by NF-κB. NF-κB is notorious in cancer. It regulates gene expression involved in tumor growth and progression, chemoresistance, and protects tumor cells from death." "So it's been very difficult to target NF-κB directly, but we can target GSK-3β directly, specifically and potently, and therefore downregulate those key oncogenic processes. And that's really where we started the company, that set of activities of this protein. What's been shown since we've been in the clinic is that there is also a resulting upregulation of immune response from the host towards the cancer itself based on this inhibition of GSK-3β as well."  #ActuateTherapeutics #Cancer #PancreaticCancer #MetastaticPancreaticCancer  actuatetherapeutics.com Download the transcript here

In this thought-provoking episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons welcomes Dr. Jeffrey Dach for a powerful discussion on bioidentical hormones, estrogen, and the myths that have shaped women's health for decades.Dr. Dach draws from over 40 years of clinical experience and research to challenge the mainstream narrative that estrogen causes breast cancer. Together, he and Dr. Jenn explore how estrogen protects DNA integrity, why natural progesterone is vastly different from synthetic progestins, and how iodine and testosterone play overlooked but vital roles in breast cancer prevention.Along the way, they trace the history of hormone therapies—from DES and Tamoxifen to modern-day aromatase inhibitors—revealing both the progress and the persistent dogmas of conventional medicine. This is a conversation about evidence, empowerment, and the urgent need to rethink how we approach women's health.Because of its depth and importance, this conversation has been divided into two parts. This episode is Part 1 of 2.In This Episode, You Will Learn:Why estrogen may protect against breast cancer rather than cause itThe truth about estrogen receptors and how they shape cancer riskThe critical difference between natural progesterone and synthetic progestinsHow testosterone supports breast cancer preventionWhy iodine deficiency remains a hidden driver of diseaseThe historical evolution of hormone therapies—from DES to TamoxifenHow entrenched medical dogmas persist despite new evidenceEpisode Timeline Highlights00:00 Introduction to Dr. Jeffrey Dach & the Hormone Debate 08:15 Breaking Away From Conventional Medical Training 16:32 Estrogen Receptors & The Women's Health Initiative Revisited 24:48 Estrogen as a Guardian of DNA Integrity & Historical Shifts in Cancer Treatment 33:10 Pregnancy, Hormones, & Breast Cancer Protection 41:22 Estriol, BiEst, & The Work of Dr. Rebecca Glazer 49:55 Iodine's Role in Breast & Thyroid Health 58:40 Progesterone Deficiency, Progestins, & Cancer Risk 1:07:12 Pharmaceutical Influence, Processed Foods, & Inflammatory Triggers 1:15:36 Fertility Decline, Chronic Disease, & Why Medical Beliefs Resist Change
