Summary
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, but modern medicine has only made small improvements in healing protocols in the past thirty years. Here's cancer treatment history at a glance:
1930s: chemotherapy pioneered for use in treating cancer
1950s: chemotherapy protocols formalized and show efficacy
1960s: surgery and radiation used for solid tumors
1988: antibody treatments approved for use in some cancers
1988 - Present: chemo, surgery, and radiation remain the primary treatments for most cancers. Detection has improved, but treatment has only shown moderate improvements in all these years.
On this week's podcast, we'll look at the often-ignored necessity to any healing protocol and the key to prevention: food and lifestyle.

| 0:00.0 | If you look at the history of cancer, chemotherapy started in the early, early 20th century, |
| 0:09.7 | by the 1930s, chemotherapy was starting to get more established. By the 1960s, you had chemo |
| 0:15.6 | radiation and also surgeries. And so you have, you know, cut it off, zappet or kind of napalm |
| 0:23.7 | the thing. And you fast forward all these years later, 60 years later, it's still kind of the |
| 0:28.2 | main options, essentially radiation, chemotherapy or surgery. And for some cancers, amazingly effective. |
| 0:34.8 | A skin cancer lesion can be chopped off very effectively. Certain cancers like leukemia have a very |
| 0:40.8 | high success rate with chemotherapy. But cancer is hundreds of different conditions, complex |
| 0:46.3 | conditions, metastasized conditions. And for many people, they're really choosing between two |
| 0:53.5 | really challenging options. One living with a cancer that might kill them or remove their |
| 0:59.0 | quality of life or living with the treatment that might kill them or decrease their quality of |
| 1:03.3 | life. There is a fourth option, which people don't talk about enough and it's probably not a |

| 1:20.3 | eating some broccoli is probably not going to reverse that. That's not what we're suggesting here. |
| 1:24.5 | But the idea that you can neglect or take your own immune system out of the picture, |
| 1:29.3 | whether we're chatting about healing from lung infection, pneumonia, or whether we're chatting |
| 1:34.4 | about healing from lymphoma, you know, a specific type of cancer. Your immune system is always relevant. |
| 1:42.0 | And with all of the cancer research, all of the cancer awareness with all of the rates for the |
| 1:47.0 | cures, not that many people are racing for healthy food and nutritious food and anti-cancerous food |
| 1:52.1 | on your plate. And it makes such a big difference on this week's podcast. We'll talk to a cancer |
| 1:56.5 | survivor who's a big advocate of that fourth option, that lifestyle intervention. He's got some |
| 2:01.7 | great results with himself and his clients. Just want to make a disclaimer here. In no case, |
