This episode explores an exciting new way the immune system can be supported using tiny messengers released by natural killer immune cells. These messengers help the body's built-in defense system better spot and remove harmful or worn-out "zombie" cells that drive inflammation and speed up aging. The core idea is simple: help the immune system do its job more effectively, without harming healthy cells. It's cutting-edge science explained in plain language, with big implications for long-term health and resilience.

In this episode Dr. Karlfeldt interviews Dr Eric Schoen about. The conversation begins with Dr. Karlfeldt highlighting the challenging situation many cancer patients face when their oncologists advise against using complementary therapies alongside conventional treatments. Dr. Schoen discusses the importance of patients having informed conversations with both their oncologists and integrative providers, noting that 35-44% of cancer patients incorporate integrative therapies, sometimes without their oncologist's knowledge. Dr. Schoen emphasizes that patients should work with specialists who understand the complexities of integrative cancer care rather than navigating treatment alone. He shares a case study about a patient who experienced complications from excessive green tea consumption during treatment, illustrating how even beneficial natural substances can interfere with cancer therapies when used improperly. This highlights the importance of proper guidance from knowledgeable practitioners who understand potential interactions. The discussion covers safe supplements that can be taken during conventional cancer treatments when properly supervised. Dr. Schoen recommends foundational supplements like modified citrus pectin (which binds to galectin-3 and prevents cancer progression), Magnolia extract (which helps reduce angiogenesis), and vitamin D (crucial for immune function). He also discusses the importance of trace minerals like zinc and beneficial mushrooms such as Turkey Tail, Reishi, and Cordyceps for supporting immune function. Throughout the conversation, both doctors stress the importance of patients advocating for themselves while seeking multiple opinions to make informed decisions about their treatment. They highlight how integrative therapies, when properly administered, can enhance the effectiveness of conventional treatments and support patients throughout their cancer journey, potentially improving outcomes and quality of life.Dr. Eric Schoen emphasizes that 35-44% of cancer patients incorporate integrative therapies alongside conventional treatments, some with their oncologist's knowledge and others without disclosing it.Patients should work with specialists who understand integrative oncology rather than navigating treatment alone, as the complexity of cancer care requires expertise to avoid harmful interactions between therapies.Modified citrus pectin is highlighted as a foundational supplement that binds to galectin-3, helping prevent cancer progression and the formation of new blood vessels that feed tumors.Green tea consumption requires careful monitoring during cancer treatment as it can potentially interfere with certain treatments by affecting estrogen metabolism and causing bioaccumulation of stress molecules.Mushrooms like Turkey Tail, Reishi, and Cordyceps offer significant immune support during cancer treatment, while also helping to reduce fatigue commonly experienced by patients.----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.

Dr. Mark Renneker speaks at the 2025 Public Forum on Healing with Integrative Cancer Care in February. The gathering was designed to bridges wisdom traditions with emerging frontiers in healing. This year's forum explores transformation through the intersections of integrative cancer care with consciousness and healing arts, featuring distinguished speakers and practitioners from diverse backgrounds. The day included engaging presentations on patient advocacy, expressive arts, and innovative approaches to cancer care. Mark Renneker, MD Mark is assistant clinical professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Renneker has developed a San Francisco-based private medical consultative practice which, since 1988, has provided intensive research and advocacy services to hundreds of patients, family members, and other healthcare providers. About half of the cases he works with are cancer-related, most often dealing with high-risk, recurrent, and metastatic disease. The general approach he takes in his practice is to try to put the patient (and family) in charge of their overall case (and health) by learning to be in charge of their case with him (such as patient-directed consultations). To accomplish this necessitates, from the outset of the work, his going to where they are, meaning that he needs to do everything possible to understand their feelings, fears, confusion, frustrations, hopes, and desires, as well as their physical symptoms and suffering; he needs to take up their side in dealing with the disease, their doctors and the healthcare system—his alliance, his bond, is to them, less so the profession. He finds that doing this work by phone actually facilitates empowerment and intimacy—their being at home, rather than in a doctor's office, using such a familiar communication medium as the telephone, which many of them use professionally and with great authority.

In this podcast episode, I had the privilege of interviewing Patricia Peat, an influential figure in the field of integrative cancer care in Europe. We delved into the significance of community collaboration in finding solutions and empowering individuals. Patricia shed light on the advancements in functional testing and the scientific nature of integrative cancer care, dispelling the misconception that integrative approaches lack research. During our discussion, we explored the limitations of tumor-centered treatment in standard oncology and the importance of considering the body's metabolism and promoting metabolic flexibility in cancer treatment. We also touched on the origins of chemotherapy from mustard gas and the need for a more effective approach. Patricia shared her personal journey, recounting her realization of the flaws in the medical system and her growing concern for patients undergoing chemotherapy without guidance on recovery or improving their quality of life. Inspired by a patient named Jillian, who integrated alternative treatments alongside chemotherapy with remarkable results, Patricia established Cancer Options to provide information and support to individuals seeking integrative approaches to cancer care.

Dr. Renee James was raised outside of Brisbane, Australia. She developed an interest in veterinary medicine and after deciding to forego being a chopper pilot (for now!) she earned her veterinary degree with honors from the University of Queensland in 2003. She entered mixed animal practice after graduation and soon after recognized that she had an interest in using integrative modalities with her patients. She studied homeopathy and then earned a Graduate Diploma in Veterinary Chinese Herbal Medicine from CIVT. During this time she had transitioned into exclusive small animal practice. She partnered with Dr. Henry Stevenson and in 2015 they co-founded their Integrative practice, The Natural Vets, in Forest Glen Australia. That practice has grown rapidly to employ six veterinarians and offer a wide range of holistic modalities. Their tag line fits their practice philosophy perfectly- "At the Natural Vets we do normal stuff. Differently."Dr. James uses Nutrition, Homeopathy, and Chinese Herbal Medicine and has a special interest in Dentistry, Palliative Care, Integrative Cancer Care, and Client Education. She has spoken to the Integrative Veterinarians of Australia group on vaccine titers, minimal vaccine protocols, and Integrative Veterinary Oncology.

Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Test can be ordered through Rupa Health - https://www.rupahealth.com/reference-guide Key Takeaways: The future of treating cancer Dr. Goodyear believes in taking a precision and accuracy-focused approach to treating cancer, which includes looking at multi-omics such as genomics, epigenomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and immunomodulomics. The goal is to create a treatment program that targets the tumor and one that heals the body at the same time. Vitamin C as an option for Cancer A European study showed no benefits in adding vitamin C to the patients receiving the chemo in the immunotherapeutics, but only in patients with RAS mutation. So vitamin C directly targets RAS mutations and does help if you target the correct mutations. Vitamin C properties Vitamin C supports the immune system and pro-oxidative cancer stem cells. If you're dealing with bone metastasis, vitamin C works well in penetrating cancer that is growing in bone. Overall, vitamin C is incredibly metabolically active against cancer cells but not in non-cancer cells. Understanding cancer recurrence When looking at cancer treatments today, we have to recognize that chemotherapy, full-dose radiation, and surgery can shrink a primary tumor. But research shows that it can also set up a situation where it spreads cancer cells. The vast majority of issues associated with cancer, including the cause of death, are when it spreads. So you must continue the healing process because the dysfunction might still persist. Lifestyle tips to help reduce cancer risks Living in an active, healthy, balanced, and stress-free environment is foundational to cancer prevention and treatment. So feed your body with good nutrition that will enable it to function correctly, repair broken mechanisms, and reduce inflammation. Also, help your body combat stress, take care of your emotional, psychological, and spiritual environments, and exercise constantly.
Show Summary:"I started working at her second ovarian cancer recurrence, and there's more metastasis. She cried and said, 'My cancer came back because I had chocolate cake at my daughter's birthday.' That was a pivotal moment in my practice, so I said, 'I think it's more important that you focus on the joy of your daughter's birthday and that you enjoyed that chocolate cake."Confirming a cancer diagnosis can feel like a death sentence. The fear surrounding it, on top of pity and well-meaning suggestions from family and friends, adds to the confusion and stress of the situation.That is why navigating a clear path to healing can be challenging, and finding a cancer care plan that is compassionate and humane is a breath of fresh air in nursing the patient back to vibrant health.Our guest, Dr. Bianca Di Giulio, L.Ac., is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.
