Which peptides belong in a cancer protocol, and which ones should wait?On Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K talks with Dr. Tracey Stroup, a naturopathic doctor who created the Quarterbacking Cancer program, about the three peptides she leans on most: a microdosed GLP-1, KPV and thymosin alpha-1.She explains why GLP-1 side effects come down to dosing, how KPV calms gut inflammation during chemo, and why she holds off on BPC-157 and TB-500 with an active tumor.

What happens when the surgeon who has spent his career saving other people's lives finally has to save his own?In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Dr. James C. Wittig, a nationally recognized orthopedic oncologist and sarcoma surgeon and the Founder and CEO of Mandala Medical Group, with roughly 10,000 procedures behind him. He explains why sarcoma in kids and teens so often gets dismissed as a sports injury or growing pains, and how limb-sparing surgery became the standard for most patients.Then he gets personal: thirty years of five-hour nights and eighty-hour weeks that ended in kidney failure and three stents. That experience is why he now brings hypnosis, meditation, neurofeedback and root cause testing like fasting insulin into cancer care. If you or someone you love is facing cancer, this conversation shows what whole-person care can look like from a surgeon who has been on both sides of it.Key Takeaways:Why sarcoma in children and teens gets missed as a sports injury or growing painsHow chemotherapy response predicts osteosarcoma survivalA sarcoma surgeon's wake-up call: 80-hour weeks, kidney failure and three stentsHypnosis, meditation and neurofeedback for stress and immune health during cancer treatmentFasting insulin, gut health and sugar as root causes in cancer careSchedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902Resources:Resources Mentioned: Mandala Medical Group - https://www.mandalamedicalgroup.com/ Dr. James C.

What if the last piece of your cancer won't go away because it isn't physical at all?In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Dr. Dana Flavin, a pharmacologist, toxicologist, biochemist and physician with 58 semesters of training behind her and more than 30 years of treating cancer patients around the world. Dana never set out to treat anyone. That changed in 1992, when friends in Ireland asked her to help a woman with advanced cervical cancer, no money and no insurance. Six months later the tumor was gone, and Dana has spent the decades since mapping how foods, nutrients, repurposed drugs and emotions each act on cancer biochemistry.She explains why a single-target drug so often stops working, and how shiitake and maitake mushrooms knock down the same immune-suppressing cells as cimetidine. She covers why a low-methionine, low-sugar, plant-based diet matters, and shares a stage 4 prostate cancer case where PSA dropped from 5,000 to 24.4 in 10 weeks. She also tells the story of a breast cancer patient whose last bit of tumor only cleared after she learned to love herself. If you or someone you love is fighting cancer, or working hard to keep it from coming back, this conversation gives you a lot to take to your care team.Key Takeaways:Why combination cancer therapy works when single-target drugs lead to resistance, from a colon cancer case with liver, lung and lymph metastasesHow shiitake and maitake mushrooms and cimetidine lower myeloid-derived suppressor cells so the immune system can recoverA plant-based, low-methionine, low-sugar diet for cancer, plus cherries, raspberries and organic foodOff-label drugs in a stage 4 prostate cancer case: PSA from 5,000 to 24.4 in 10 weeks with itraconazole, ivermectin, mebendazole and low dose naltrexoneEmotional healing, forgiveness and staying in remission, and why unresolved hurt can bring cancer backSchedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902Resources:CollMed (Dr. Dana Flavin's foundation and book donations) - https://collmed.org/ Consultations with Dr. Dana Flavin - https://collmed.org/consultations/ Answers to Cancers (Dr. Flavin's upcoming book) Dr. Joe Dispenza - https://drjoedispenza.com/ Biogeometry by Dr. Ibrahim Karim Magnetism and Its Effects on the Living System by Albert Roy Davis and Walter C.

What if a blue-green algae could help your cells fight cancer the same way your own immune system does?In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K talks with Catharine Arnston, PhD, founder of ENERGYbits and author of the upcoming book Love Your Health to Bits with Algae. Catharine has spent years researching spirulina and chlorella, and she walks through why she sees cancer as a metabolic disease, one driven by damaged mitochondria, acidic cells, and the glucose that feeds tumor growth, a process known as the Warburg effect.She breaks down how superoxide dismutase protects your mitochondria from free radical damage, how chlorella clears the toxins that block your cell receptors, and how the blue pigment in spirulina called phycocyanin can trigger cancer cells to self-destruct while leaving healthy cells alone. If you or someone you love is trying to prevent, treat, or recover from cancer, this conversation gives you nutritional tools you can start using today.Key Takeaways:Why cancer is increasingly understood as a metabolic disease driven by the Warburg effect and glucose-fueled cell growthHow spirulina's superoxide dismutase (SOD) content protects mitochondria from free radical damage as natural SOD levels decline with ageChlorella's detoxifying effect on cell receptors, and why clearing out cell-blocking toxins matters for nutrient absorptionPhycocyanin, the blue pigment unique to spirulina, and its documented anti-angiogenesis effect and role in triggering apoptosis in cancer cellsWhy cutting simple sugars and carbs and increasing movement lowers the glucose available to feed cancer cells, tracked through the glucose ketone index (GKI)Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902Resources:ENERGYbits - https://energybits.com (use code ICS for 20% off) Love Your Health to Bits with Algae (Catharine Arnston's book, releasing February 2027) - https://energybits.com/pages/book-page?srsltid=AfmBOor5uNjCFGbYu2Pv3yVHIfuJviolpRaJgslOJLXRo1N8Wh8GtDceDr. Thomas Seyfried's research on cancer as a metabolic disease Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.
