cancer

I want you to clock that.

one of the things they talked about in the this podcast will kill you episode that disturbed me the most is this this is the part that i have just not been able to let go of since i heard it okay so let's let's pretend that these peptides are actually accelerating healing what that means is that they're causing cells to turn over and multiply more quickly and regenerate more quickly and you know what else in your body has cells that multiply quickly Cancer.

And they talked about how some of these peptides in lab studies have been shown to have angiogenesis abilities, which is creating blood vessels.

You know what else creates its own blood vessel supply? Tumors.

There's so much out there where people are like, cancer is genetic.

People think it's black and white, meaning it's either genetic or it's not, but it's actually very much a mix and it depends on what genes we're talking about.

Cancer genetic testing is so much more than the BRCA genes now.

I'm seeing patients either order their own genetic test or go to a provider who may not have genetics education, and then they get a genetic test that just has the BRCA genes.

They think, oh, I was negative for the BRCA genes, I've done cancer testing.

BRCA testing might not even make sense for you if you don't have those

cancers in the family.

If someone's listening and they're like, I know that cancer runs in my family, what genetic test should I be asking for? It's really important to...

Around 85% of academy players go on to professional contracts, including more than 20 All Blacks.

Webby is also the co-founder of the annual Long Run Charity event, which raises funds for the Child Cancer Foundation.

Last year, the event raised over $270,000.

This year, their goal is to get to $500,000.

In this conversation, Webby shares the needs that all young people have in common, no matter what their background is.

He shares the three characteristics that he looks for to work out whether someone could become a crusader or an all-black.

and how a bit of lockdown boredom led to him raising more than $700,000 for the Child Cancer Foundation.

So here you are, my conversation with Aaron Webb.

So a known genetic condition, obviously that family history is really important.

Cancer genetics remains really complex because you can have a non-genetic breast cancer or you can have someone that has a genetic predisposition that does not develop a breast cancer.

So it is complex, but family history remains really important in terms of giving us a clue of which genes to test for.

But also when you have your genetic results, we would interpret that in the context of the family history.

So for example, BRCA2, your risk estimation for ovarian cancer depends on the change in the gene, but also on whether you've seen ovarian cancer in that family before.

And families are complex because if your mom was an only child and she had cancer, breast cancer at age 45, that's a very different picture to if she had seven sisters and they were all unaffected.

Or we may think you come from a big family, but your mom had seven brothers and we know the risk for males are lower.

So that family structure really comes into the risk assessment and getting a feel for could there be something that's hidden away because it's being passed on from dad's side and he inherited it from his dad.

If something was to happen and somebody received a relatively abnormal result, what could you tell them about being anxious about the possibility of that?

An abnormal screening result does not automatically mean cancer.

And I fully recognize that that is probably the first place that patient's mind goes because that's why you're getting it done.

That's always a possibility.

But the purpose of a screening exam is to make sure that we are not missing cancer.

So we are going to what's called callbacks.

more patients than have cancer because we don't want to miss those things.

So any little change that is seen between a previous exam or if you've never had one, anything that kind of stands out as being a little different than the rest of the breast or the opposite breast, is going to warrant additional viewing and evaluation to make sure that it isn't anything.

Welcome to the Thrive Through and Beyond Cancer podcast.

I'm your host, Susan Johnson, and today's guest is Micah Lowe.

You are going to find this episode so educational and really give you some practical information around one of the most popular Because it's powerful therapies that not only do we recommend to our cancer clients, but actually we recommend having in your home as a first aid kit.

And this is ozone.

So Matt is Micah's brother, and he's really the reason that Micah does what he does today.

Matt was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer, and when their family was searching for anything that might help, Micah came across ozone therapy and then watched what it did for his brother.

That sent him into the research where he found something used for wound care, for infection, for stroke, and there was so much evidence behind it, but really scattered and very difficult to piece together.

So he became the person who organized it and began teaching it.

His passion to promote natural health publicly has led him to be a sought-after lecturer, writer, and educator.

He is also the host of internationally recognized podcasts, Integrative Cancer Solutions with Dr. Karlfeldt, where he features cancer survivors sharing how they beat cancer, and his podcast, Integrative Lyme Solutions with Dr. Karlfeldt.

He recently published an Amazon bestseller, A Better Way to Treat Cancer.

He believes in the innate intelligence and healing power of the body, and if properly supported spiritually, emotionally, and nutritionally, it can find its way back to health.

Dr. Karlfeld and I covered so much in this conversation, and I hope the information in this episode encourages you, especially if you or a loved one is facing a cancer diagnosis.

Yeah.

And speaking of multiple pathways, so I had Jane McClellan back on the show a month or so ago.

And for listeners, she wrote this book called How to Starve Cancer, essentially curing herself of stage four cancer using a cocktail of drugs.

Well, it also made it comfortable to talk about these things.

You know, incidentally, it's Breast Cancer Month.

I just discovered that earlier this week.

And, you know, the encouragement is that we talk about this.
