Some people propose that parasites underly many chronic diseases. Of course, underlying infections, viruses, and parasites must be addressed in moving towards optimal health. Early stage covid was successfully treated with the anti parasitic medications ivermectin, and hydroxychloroquine However, there are some that are finding some success in treating cancer with anti parasitic medications. bio Dr. Lee Merritt began her career in medicine at age 4 when she carried her father's black bag along the back roads of Iowa. She graduated from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in 1980, and was awarded lifetime membership in the Alpha-Omega-Alpha Honor Medical Society. Dr. Merritt completed an Orthopedic Residency and Fellowship in Spinal Surgery and served 11 years as a physician and surgeon in the United States Navy. She is past president of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, served on the Board of the Arizona Medical Society and on the Navy Research Advisory Committee--a subcommittee of Congress. During 40 plus years in medicine Dr. Merritt has been an advocate for private practice, cash pay, patient centered medicine. She appeared on the John Stossel show to argue against Obamacare, and now is working to restore scientific integrity and Hippocratic ethics to the profession of Medicine. She is the author of the upcoming book Escaping the Medical Matrix, which shares groundbreaking research on Dr. William Russell's "characteristic organism of cancer," how "Russell bodies" replaced the parasite explanation in textbooks, and why parasites + terrain (sugar, vaccines, toxins) may explain what we call cancer today. website www.themedicalrebel.com rumble channel the medical rebel

Has the war on cancer been successful? What can we do to decrease our risks for getting cancer? What can we do to increase our prognosis once the cancer diagnosis is given. What can we do to feel we have some efficacy or input into what happens to us in the future. The WHO and crUK predicted that 42% of cancers are lifestyle related. Within that 40% are caused by obesity. Reducing inflammation and oxidative can improve most health outcomes including cancer. Phytochemicals, stress reduction, good gut health, moderate exercise, good sleep and vitamin D should help cancer prevention and prognoses. Are there cases where this does not apply? For example, some say antioxidants interfere with chemotherapy. the antioxidants from vitamin A and vitamin E may make outcomes worse? Also previously held warnings about turmeric/ curcumin and whole soy foods for breast cancer may not be supported in the research. This does not necessarily hold for soy infused supplements Omega threes have effect in women not men? (could this be due to the addition of vitamin E to some omega thre preparations? Did you know that some studies show the popular supplement sal palmetto has no benefit or can promote cancers? Bio Professor Robert Thomas, MD is a NHS Consultant Oncologist and clinical teacher at two Cambridge University linked Hospitals in the UK, treating patients with breast and prostate cancer using chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormone and biological therapies. He's is also a health journalist for National World News , a Professor of sport and nutritional science and was recently appointed head of Integrative Oncology for The Royal London Hospital for Integrative Medicine at UCHL. He leads a UK research unit with links to Australia and California which evaluates the impact lifestyle, exercise and dietary strategies to enhance well-being, reduce side effects of treatments, improve cancer outcomes, long covid, longevity and sports performance. The unit has published over 100 national and he is currently chief investigator of the ongoing national covid vaccine nutritional intervention study. In early 2026 he published the YourPhyto study which found that boosting phytochemical rich foods and gut health slowed prostate cancer progression, improved urinary symptoms and erectile function. He latest trial found that the same nutritional combination improved biomarkers of longevity - grip strength and inflammation and testosterone. The results of this research and personal experience gained over the last 30 years have been summarised in his talks, his bestselling book " How to Live ", his regular blog and YouTube channel. This book thoroughly discusses diet, and life style choices including exercise, sleep, and exposure to environmental toxins. He also wrote a excellent comprehensive book on how to keep healthy after cancer. For this work, he has been awarded the Royal College of Radiologist and Oncologist research medal, a Fellowship in the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine and "Oncologist of the Year" by The British Oncology Association.

The US spends 20 % of its GNP on health care and has some of the worst outcomes. Over 50 % of adults and children have at least one chronic disease. In the 1960's less than two percent had chronic diseases. We have 4.6 % of the world's population yet use 50 % of the world's pharmaceuticals. Just because your doctor tells you that your lab results are normal, that is no reason to cheer as these values are based on 95 % of a very sick population. For example, statins are given out readily, but did you know a doctor has to treat 100 patients for five years to get one patient to benefit? Did you know about the side effects of statins? Did you know that some studies show that satins have no benefits for women? In the past there was a war on cholesterol. Yet one half of the heart attacks occur in people who have normal cholesterol. Cholesterol is actually protective. It is the source of our adrenal and sex hormones, for vitamin D and cell membranes and myelin the nerve protection. the LDL cholesterol particles rush to repair damage to the blood vessels lining.
