Latest / Intellectual Medicine / Can I Prevent Cancer Relapse Using Vitamin C?
Transcript
- 0:03Hello, fellow anti-agers. This is dr.
- 0:05Steve had already from intellectual medicine, the
- 0:08birthplace of drip bars, your place for Infusion, based
- 0:12Healthcare life, extension and information on how to live
- 0:16better and longer. Today.
- 0:18We're going to be focusing on preventing cancer.
- 0:20More, specifically, secondary prevention.
- 0:23That is, how do you stop cancer from coming back?
- 0:26If you've had it once already? This all Taps into our belief
- 0:31and our understanding that the human body.
- 0:34Your human body is built with Incredible self healing
- 0:38potential. And a lot of our job is to give
- 0:42it what it needs to prevent disease from occurring.
- 0:45This holds true even for cancer. Currently.
- 0:50The state of cancer treatment is enormously pharmacologically
- 0:55dependent. It has become institutionalized.
- 0:58Allies to a point where others who try to weigh into those
- 1:02waters. Are sometimes beaten back, the
- 1:06monopolistic control of the conventional oncology approach
- 1:12has had some Merit, but at an enormous cost of freedom of
- 1:16choice, and enlightened reflective thought.
- 1:20No place. Is it more prevalent than in
- 1:22secondary prevention after the cancer has been treated.
- 1:26What next Whether you've had chemo radiation surgery or some
- 1:31combination that's cycle of treatment comes to an end.
- 1:36And when it does I've spoken to many of my patients, who are
- 1:39fighting cancer. It can be a sense of loss.
- 1:43Now, what? Well too.
- 1:45Often the answer is nothing. The answer is watchful waiting.
- 1:50The answer is, let's hope it doesn't come back and oh, by the
- 1:54way, we're going to monitor you with Pierre.
- 1:58Out of Imaging, folks. Periodic Imaging, never cured
- 2:01anybody's cancer. It does not treat cancer.
- 2:04Does not affect the likelihood of relapse.
- 2:06If anything, it can make the likelihood of relapse a bit
- 2:10greater. After all, the Imaging often is
- 2:13cat scanning, or pet scanning. Ionizing radiation is known to
- 2:18be a contributor to cancer. So, what are we doing out there?
- 2:23We need a better approach. There's a hole in the machinery
- 2:27and the whole Art's, well, with the onset of cancer.
- 2:30We'll talk about that in a moment, but it goes to the point
- 2:33afterward, the recurrence thereof in most disease, states
- 2:38are secondary, prevention and cancer.
- 2:41It's really devoid of that. And that's because most of the
- 2:45treatments that chemo, that radiate their poison, their
- 2:48toxic. You can't stay on them, even in
- 2:51the case of women who have had breast cancer, the hormone
- 2:54blocking therapy has awful side effects for many women.
- 2:58Hot flashes vaginal dryness loss of libido function.
- 3:03Bone thinning muscle wasting skin sagging the list goes on.
- 3:08And yet women are told, this is the new normal, get used to it.
- 3:13This is how it's going to go because the only thing that
- 3:16sometimes seems to matter is whether or not you die of
- 3:20cancer. Now, that's important.
- 3:22Nobody wants to die of cancer. But we want to live, we want to
- 3:26live fully. We don't want to wither and
- 3:29simply hold out. So we can add years to a
- 3:33lifespan that has lost some of its luster for my patients.
- 3:37I The whole thing. I want the extended lifespan and
- 3:41the Vitality all bundled together.
- 3:45So we've got to be more creative and we have to apply what we
- 3:50know about cellular medicine, cell based Healthcare to this
- 3:54problem. All disease, most disease and
- 3:58health begins at a cellular level.
- 4:01It's a concept of drip bar that we call selvi or cell life as in
- 4:06cellular health. Give your body.
- 4:09What it needs take out. What doesn't belong and good
- 4:12things are going to happen. Now.
- 4:15How do you prevent cancer from coming back?
- 4:18Well, let's start out with reflecting on why it gets there
- 4:21in the first place. Cancer is largely an
- 4:24environmental disease when you look at the epidemiology where
- 4:29does cancer happen and you look at its history.
- 4:33It's not really genetically driven now, this fact about
- 4:37cancer support. Goodbye, multiple observations
- 4:40one cancer increases as you get older.
- 4:44Now, if it were a genetic disease, it would necessarily
- 4:47escalate with age. It would occur throughout life
- 4:51and then hit apply a toe in all likelihood.
- 4:54So cancer, most cancers, no direct correlation to a gene
- 4:58that absolutely will trigger it. The next we know there are
- 5:02carcinogens. We know cigarette smoking can
- 5:05cause lung cancer. Ionizing radiation can cause
- 5:08Cancer. Cadmium is a breast cancer risk.
- 5:12We live ladies and gentlemen, in a polluted world.
- 5:15We will never be able to tease out every trigger for cancer.
- 5:20Whether its lead cadmium, whether it's ionizing radiation,
- 5:24whether it's microwaves or electromagnetic fields, it's
- 5:28swirls about us. Archaeologists, that have
- 5:32studied prehistoric remains of humans have looked for signs of
- 5:38cancer and they have estimated that cancer was quite rare in
- 5:43the pre-modern era. Some have speculated that the
- 5:47cancer rate, the natural background cancer rate shouldn't
- 5:51be greater than 1 percent in the population.
- 5:54This information is actually good news for us because it
- 5:58informs us that if cancer is Really environmental then we can
- 6:03do things about it. It's hard to do things about
- 6:06your genetic endowment. You can certainly fight against
- 6:09it. But if it's environmental well,
- 6:12now we could take strong action. So we can't necessarily go out
- 6:16and clean up the planet tomorrow, but the environment
- 6:20that matters the most is the internal environment.
- 6:22That is our cellular Health immune support percent body fat
- 6:28reduction, and yes folks get your You're heavy metal tested,
- 6:32a provocative, heavy metal test as done a trip bars.
- 6:36These are proliferating throughout the country.
- 6:39The originated out of the work done at intellectual medicine.
- 6:44The infusions are infusions that I've developed over many years
- 6:48of study and clinical application.
- 6:51We are building on the research base demonstrating evidence of
- 6:55their benefit. Drip bar is a separate company
- 6:59started by been Crosby my way. Shannon Peta Rudy.
- 7:01She's a CEO. They have launched it as a
- 7:05national franchise. The reason I mentioned is
- 7:08because what I'm about to talk about will soon be available to
- 7:13nearly everybody in the country, who wants to Avail themselves of
- 7:16it. I'm talking about secondary
- 7:19prevention, the theory that I have developed.
- 7:23That can be applied right now with the hope and the
- 7:27possibility of reducing the risk of cancer relapse.
- 7:30So let's think about that. So here you are breast cancer,
- 7:34colon cancer, lung cancer. You've been declared may be
- 7:38cancer. Free.
- 7:40Are you really cancer-free is a description used when there are
- 7:45no tumors visible. However, they can't see down to
- 7:49the cellular level. There is no blood test that can
- 7:52uncover. Answer at that level and yet,
- 7:54that's where it lurks. Stem cells, and cancer per
- 8:01generator cells. That is the mother of baby
- 8:04cancer cells can survive chemotherapy and radiation.
- 8:08They can hide out and they can spit out baby cancer cells that
- 8:12can take years to manifest. Cancer cells have something
- 8:17known as a doubling time. How long does it?
- 8:19Take one cell to become two, two, two become four or one
- 8:24centimeter tumor to become a two-centimeter tumors of the
- 8:27doubling time. It varies depending on the type
- 8:30of cancer and it can vary depending on the stage of the
- 8:33malignancy, but it's a fixed predictable.
- 8:36Number, ultimately, those doubling times can range
- 8:40anywhere from his brief, has a week or two to, as long as Days.
- 8:47On average, when you see a 1 centimeter tumor, it's been
- 8:52growing for years. The traditional notion that a
- 8:56one centimeter tumor is early, Discovery is a relative
- 9:00statement. It's not really that early.
- 9:03In some cases that cancers been growing for 5 or 10 years or
- 9:07more. So my point is we want to get at
- 9:11the Cancer before you even know. It's there.
- 9:15It's been said that every day we make abnormal cells with a
- 9:18potential to become cancer, but our immune system helps
- 9:23eradicate them. If that's the case then we want
- 9:26to get down to that level. So the perfect anti-cancer
- 9:32secondary prevention would kill cancer cells be safe for Cells
- 9:40be affordable. Be well, tolerated with no side
- 9:43effects and be convenient. What I just described are all
- 9:49the principles embodied in high-dose intravenous vitamin C
- 9:54in the world of complementary, cancer-fighting, supplements and
- 9:58treatments. I believe vitamin C is King of
- 10:02the hell. It's the one that has the most
- 10:05research. It's the one that has abundant
- 10:08amounts of clinical history. It's the one that has been
- 10:11around for decades. So in my opinion, this is a
- 10:16place to start high dose of intravenous vitamin C the theory
- 10:21and it's only a theory. Here comes a disclaimer.
- 10:24It's not FDA proven to prevent cancer nor accurate what I'm
- 10:28about to share with. You is my theory.
- 10:30Based upon the mechanism of action of vitamin C.
- 10:33What is known about the doubling time of cancer and the relapse
- 10:37rates. So, in the New England Journal
- 10:40of Medicine, they published an article a couple of years ago,
- 10:43looking at delayed relapse of breast cancer.
- 10:47These are women that have had breast cancer to cancer.
- 10:49Free at five years. They looked out Beyond five
- 10:53years up to 20 women with Stage 1 breast cancer or 1 centimeter
- 10:58tumor surgically. We removed.
- 11:02Had a greater than 10 percent lifetime risk of cancer relapse.
- 11:08The Five-Year threshold is an arbitrary cutoff.
- 11:11It has value when you're doing statistical analysis, but it's
- 11:15not a human number. The human number is lifespan
- 11:19driven. If you had breast cancer at 50,
- 11:2255 years is not a lifespan. It's nice.
- 11:26It's helpful. It's good to be cancer-free at
- 11:28that stage. However, what did your share
- 11:31with you? A doubling times comes to Bear
- 11:34five years becomes 10, this rate of cancer goes up, and when it
- 11:38comes back, it's not a targeted tumor anymore.
- 11:41It's Buckshot. Those baby cancer cells, have
- 11:45spread, and it frequently comes back in a very aggressive and
- 11:49disseminated stage for presentation.
- 11:53Everything was fine. Then all of a sudden I had pain
- 11:56in the next thing. I know the cancer was
- 11:57everywhere. Let's get busy right at the
- 12:01time, that it matters the most and that's when you feel great.
- 12:05I know you'd rather forget that this ever existed, but taking
- 12:09action may have value here. So, back to the theory, high
- 12:14dose, vitamin C has been shown in research studies to kill
- 12:18cancer cells. That's irrefutable.
- 12:21The studies are out there. There are abundant.
- 12:23Studies on a whole range of different types of cancer cells.
- 12:27The next piece of evidence. It's been shown to kill cancer
- 12:31cells, human cancer cell lines that have been grafted into
- 12:36laboratory animals. That's encouraging, the next
- 12:40line. It's been shown to have
- 12:42favorable effect in some humans with cancer.
- 12:46In some cases, when used concurrently with chemotherapy
- 12:50and conventional treatment. There are also studies in humans
- 12:54stage. One placebo-controlled showing
- 12:58that intravenous vitamin. C is extraordinarily safe.
- 13:01So we've got a safety feature. We have a proven mechanism of
- 13:06action. Intravenous vitamin C on like,
- 13:10the pills, you might take, or the supplements.
- 13:12Given orally is not an antioxidant, it's Pro.
- 13:17Antioxidants are great help to neutralize free radicals.
- 13:21But when you want to kill something, you want Pro.
- 13:25Oxidative inflammation. Vitamin C given high-dose
- 13:30intravenously at drip bar, and intellectual medicine will give
- 13:34fifty thousand milligrams. Intravenously can convert and
- 13:39help conversion into hydrogen peroxide.
- 13:43Hydrogen peroxide is toxic toward cancer.
- 13:46Sir cells, but your natural cells can tolerate it.
- 13:50They have an enzyme that can neutralize it.
- 13:52So it's a wonderful smart bomb to kill cancer cells.
- 13:55The objective. The theory is that if it's used
- 13:59on a regular basis, monthly high dose intravenous vitamin C, has
- 14:05a possibility of killing cancer cells before, you know, they are
- 14:08there at a cellular level. Let's imagine, for instance.
- 14:12You have Mo million cancer cells You'd never know it.
- 14:17There's too few to be of consequence.
- 14:20They can't be seen, they can't be tested in blood work.
- 14:23They're invisible but they could be growing come in and get I
- 14:27dose vitamin C the theory holds if that vitamin C is effective.
- 14:32It can kick. It can kill some of these cancer
- 14:34cells. Maybe go from a million to half
- 14:36a million and repeat the cycle. Who cares, right?
- 14:40It's inexpensive. It's well, tolerated, you come
- 14:42in once a month, get your high dose.
- 14:44Vitamin C in March. On the objective is to make it
- 14:49sustainable cancer. Often behaves not like an
- 14:54episodic illness not like pneumonia where it's gone and
- 14:56you're better but rather like a chronic relapsing illness think
- 15:02of it, like chicken pox when you're a kid you get chicken pox
- 15:06you go throughout your life span, not thinking about it.
- 15:08And then one day you get shingles the same virus.
- 15:11It's just reactivated. Chronicity of malignancy is a
- 15:16concern in my view, the need to have ongoing support is
- 15:22self-evident. Look, you got cancer in the
- 15:24first place so we know something was skewed now, you've got a
- 15:28higher risk of relapsing into that cancer or yet another
- 15:33primary malignancy. So, the theory, the intravenous
- 15:37vitamin C theory is just that we have clients and patients here
- 15:41at intellectual medicine that have been doing it for years.
- 15:44They all feel great. So far.
- 15:47We've not seen relapse has occur in settings where this is done
- 15:50consistently. I have to emphasize that your
- 15:54wrist doesn't go away. You get complacent, you stop
- 15:58coming on a monthly basis. Six months go by cancer is like
- 16:04a tireless Thief, jiggling a doorknob waiting for the night.
- 16:08You forget to lock the door. It's looking for a crack in the
- 16:12sidewalk. It.
- 16:14Don't take much to let it get a toehold.
- 16:17We do not want that cancer to form a tumor.
- 16:20We want to stay on top of it. And we believe the intravenous
- 16:23vitamin C, theory is very much worth pursuing.
- 16:26What's the risk here? While the risk is that?
- 16:29You'll waste time and money. The risk is that we don't know
- 16:32beyond certainty that it will work.
- 16:36It's going to require years of study and following patients
- 16:41that are doing this protocol. We're committed to that an
- 16:44intellectual medicine. We are the research and
- 16:47development foundation, underneath the drip bars, and
- 16:51the drip bars are taking the theories, from intellectual
- 16:53medicine, in the infusions that we have created and they are
- 16:56making them available to people throughout the country.
- 17:00Over time. We're going to be able to
- 17:02monitor the outcomes. Like we have with heavy metal
- 17:05reduction. We now have proof that
- 17:08intravenous chelation. The way it's administered
- 17:10through drip bar can lower toxicity.
- 17:13Heavy metals. We're looking forward to our
- 17:16listeners, becoming our patients, becoming our clients
- 17:20becoming drippers and getting on board with this.
- 17:24It's inexpensive. It's safe.
- 17:26The theory is sound, albeit, not fully proven.
- 17:30The scientific evidence is supportive.
- 17:33The amount of time and energy needed to invest a small and
- 17:36will be contributing to the fund of knowledge that we're going to
- 17:40track and analyze. That will help guide.
- 17:44Further interventions secondary prevention, you've had cancer
- 17:48once, don't wait for it to come back.
- 17:51Don't take false comfort in the Imaging.
- 17:54It's a reasonable and rational consideration to Gap that
- 17:59Imaging out even further. Periodic.
- 18:02Imaging does not have great proof of benefit with regard to
- 18:06lifespan extension. Finding tumors already shared
- 18:10that with you, right? 1, cm diameter can be a bit late
- 18:14in the game. In some cases.
- 18:16There's no strong evidence that sequential ongoing monitoring
- 18:22will do anything to prevent the cancer from coming back.
- 18:25So, take action. I like the intravenous vitamin C
- 18:28Theory as secondary prevention, other details, I can help make
- 18:33sure you have healthy, restorative, sleep.
- 18:36Make sure that your percent body fat.
- 18:38Is in check excess fat cells increase cancer risk for women,
- 18:43you should be targeting 30% or less for men, 20% or less at
- 18:48intellectual medicine. We do have medical weight loss
- 18:50programs. Some, of my colleagues
- 18:52throughout the country have special expertise in treating
- 18:56obesity. If you're having trouble with
- 18:59this seek out their help, these doctors can guide you toward a
- 19:02path that can help sustainable weight reduction.
- 19:06So IV vitamin C, love it. It's available.
- 19:09Adding it to your regimen to your post cancer regimen.
- 19:13Secondary prevention, get the heavy metal tested cadmium lead,
- 19:19arsenic. These are all carcinogens and if
- 19:21they're inside your body and you do something about it, that's an
- 19:25environment. You can clean up intravenous.
- 19:27Chelation can help achieve it. So, our challenge finding
- 19:31Pathways of care, that can help prevent relapse of cancer.
- 19:36Our goal is to make Our cancer patients, outliers healthy,
- 19:41vibrant outliers, putting quality of life, pre-eminently
- 19:46at the head of that pack. And if you can do conventional
- 19:49therapy be at hormonal blocking or others and not suffer adverse
- 19:54consequence, then that's great. Adding vitamin C has a potential
- 19:59to enhance the benefit. In some cases folks that have
- 20:03had adverse effects will then go on and decide.
- 20:08To convert from hormone-blocking therapy to complimentary support
- 20:14rather than be left with nothing of the above.
- 20:18Secondary prevention, cancer comes.
- 20:21Once it has a bad habit of returning for another Act and
- 20:25the gap between those two episodes can span years, instead
- 20:30of idling sitting back and hoping and waiting.
- 20:33We have an approach that can let you take action in future
- 20:38podcast, will be discussing other complementary approaches
- 20:42to cancer treatment, including alpha lipoic acid and mistletoe
- 20:46therapy, but Core the base, the most validated in my opinion.
- 20:53High-dose intravenous vitamin C. It's been around for greater
- 20:56than 30 years. It's difficult for it to gain
- 20:59traction. It's a natural substance.
- 21:01Not a drug big pharma's got nothing to gain by having
- 21:05vitamin C, do, well, hospitals, and conventional medicine.
- 21:09Don't make money when you stay healthy.
- 21:12They're not an evil cabal seeking to make you sick.
- 21:16They simply don't have a large incentive to invest in you
- 21:20staying. Well, that's your job.
- 21:23So stay connected, keep plugging into these podcast.
- 21:27Keep doing your own research to beautiful era when we can go to
- 21:31the internet and research are disease and read multiple
- 21:35opinions. Well, folks, that's all for now.
- 21:38I'm dr. Steve pedda, Reddy from
- 21:39intellectual medicine. I'm wishing you 120.
- 21:42Youthful healthy disease-free and vibrant years.
