Nicotinamide riboside<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nDetailed Summary<\/b><\/p>\n\n- Introduction by Ryan:<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \n
\n- Dr. Anderson was Ryan’s son’s naturopathic oncologist.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Ryan appreciated Dr. Anderson’s vast knowledge and ability to answer difficult questions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Dr. Paul Anderson’s Introduction and Background:<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \n
\n- Based in Seattle, Washington.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Met Ryan during the treatment of Ryan’s son, Ryder.<\/span><\/li>\n
- His practice is divided into two equal parts:<\/span>\n
\n- Treating patients with cancer, including children (which is uncommon).<\/span><\/li>\n
- Treating individuals with complicated chronic illnesses unrelated to cancer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Teaches doctors and emphasizes on sharing knowledge.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Co-authored the book “Outside the Box Cancer Therapy” with Dr. Stangler.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Working on another book focusing on the emotional aspects and process of being diagnosed with cancer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Comparison between Naturopathic Oncologists and Integrative Medical Doctors:<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \n
\n- Dr. Anderson emphasizes practical experience, learning from patients.<\/span><\/li>\n
- He offers specialized treatments, including IV therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, hyperthermia therapies, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Naturopathic oncologists and integrative MDs can both be limited in their treatments by the hospitals or systems they work in.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Discussion on IV Vitamin C Treatment:<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \n
\n- Dr. Anderson is recognized internationally for his expertise on this topic.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Benefits can be gained from both low and high doses of IV vitamin C, depending on the application.<\/span><\/li>\n
- The amount needed can vary based on body weight and the specific health of the patient.<\/span><\/li>\n
- High doses can range from 50-100 grams for most adult-sized individuals.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Vitamin C remains in the system for about 24 hours post-IV.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Vitamin C is unique in that it harms cancer cells while supporting healthy cells.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Lower doses (around 10-15 grams) can provide significant improvements in quality of life for frail or end-of-life patients.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Circulating Tumor Cell Tests:<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \n
\n- Have improved over time; past versions like RGCC and CellSearch were not as accurate.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Technology is rapidly changing and affecting the reliability of these tests.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Biocept, Maintrac, and IVY gene are currently used tests.<\/span><\/li>\n
- These tests are especially useful for:<\/span>\n
\n- Monitoring cancer in remission or no evidence of disease.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Tracking the effectiveness of ongoing treatments.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Treatment Strategies Based on Cancer Stage:<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \n
\n- Late Stage:<\/span>\n
\n- Urgency in treatment is crucial.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Need a holistic approach, addressing dietary habits, toxins, infections, hormones, and overall health.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Aim to grab the cancer’s attention and slow its progression.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Early Stage:<\/span>\n
\n- There’s more flexibility in treatment approaches.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Focus can be on non-cancer issues like detoxifying, balancing hormones, improving gut health, and addressing mental health.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Treatment options can include concentrated mushroom extracts, metabolic treatments like exogenous ketones, or even dietary shifts such as raw vegan diets.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Post-Cancer Treatment:<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \n
\n- Post chemotherapy and radiation, there’s an increased risk for secondary cancers because they can stimulate cancer stem cells.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Importance of recovery after initial treatments and secondary prevention to ensure recurrence doesn’t occur.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Repairing the body and suppressing cancer stem cells is essential.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Diet’s Impact on Cancer:<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \n
\n- No single “best” diet for cancer elimination; however, diet plays a pivotal role.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Emphasis on clean eating: Avoid processed foods, chemicals, pesticides, and herbicides.<\/span><\/li>\n
- A shift in diet can have a noticeable effect on cancer within 1-3 months.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Key Dietary Recommendations:<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \n
\n- Intermittent Fasting (IF): IF for even 13 hours has shown to reduce the recurrence of breast cancer. It activates autophagy (cell cleaning) and has other metabolic benefits.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Diet Cleanliness: Remove junk and chemicals from diet.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Plant-based Spectrum: High in polyphenols, fiber, dense nutrients, and low in simple carbs. Raw food diets can quickly get the body’s attention.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Ketogenic Spectrum: Shifts body metabolism and may be beneficial against certain types of cancers. It’s crucial to balance protein intake since excess protein can be converted into sugar.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Modified Mediterranean Diet: High plant-based with clean protein and fat sources, minimal grains.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Diet Adaptability:<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \n
\n- Initial diet is about getting the body’s attention; it might differ from the long-term diet.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Both ketogenic and raw food diets have shown positive effects on patients with various cancer types.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Adapt the diet based on what a person can do and tolerate.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Long-term success requires consistency in dietary habits.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Observational Cases:<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \n
\n- Noted a patient surviving stage 3\/4 breast cancer for over 15 years primarily using a ketogenic diet.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Other cases showed success with a raw food diet transitioned into a modified vegetarian diet.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Regular Monitoring:<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \n
\n- Emphasizes tracking certain blood work indicators (e.g., LDH, alkaline phosphatase, GGT) regularly.<\/span><\/li>\n
- These markers can provide insights into inflammation, oxygen levels, and overall body health.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Monitoring helps catch subtle shifts in the body’s health, guiding adjustments in treatments and dietary habits.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
