Changing the way we fight cancer: Gabe Canales at TEDxHouston 2013

"Moving from Army of Fundraisers to Army of Activists in Our War on Cancer"
The former Houston marketing and PR executive didn't even know what a PSA was until such an inadvertent test of his blood led to a biopsy, revealing a low-grade prostate cancer.
After meeting top physicians across the country, Canales became educated about the anticancer lifestyle and learned that his own cancer, currently under active surveillance, could have been prevented.
That galvanized Canales into awareness -- and action. He quickly launched the non-profit Blue Cure Foundation, which educates and empowers all men "but especially a younger generation." Canales wrote in the Huffington Post Prostate Cancer Prevention Begins When Men Are Boys and has led a clarion call that the conversation must change with a greater focus on prevention.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

This talk was way ahead of its time. He is a fantastic spokesperson.

thank you for sharing. it is sad this video doesn’t have more views. and as someone who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer as a first time cancer, at age 46, i know this all to be true. i’m tumor free 6 years later. i changed everything in my life. left my 25 year marriage, healed my anger issues, stopped sugar, alcohol, all mainstream products. i took high dose cannabis to shrink tumors. now i’m on maintenance dose. . i am happier and healthier than ever. and you know what? no one from the hospital is even curious as to how i’m doing so good. they don’t care.

[@carolineowen7846]

Well done to you, congrats on healing yourself, and on turning your life around, I am recently diagnosed myself, met my consultant last week, who became so agressive when I said I had binned the sugar and choc (my only vices). In fact she actively advised me to eat the stuff! A very sincere well done, to you, in all aspects of turning your life around. I am working on doing the same. Good health & happiness to you x

[@tiagov.mendes4422]

What type of cancer if may?

[@WillowStar]

@@carolineowen7846 just seeing this. blessings to you. it’s crazy town in our medical system. so many uneducated people not understanding true “healing” i have a youtube channel. tiktok and ig. i share lots if you are interested. “meet willow star is my website and handles.

[@amarruchao4596]

Will you share how do you use cannabis to shrink the tumor

[@LGRock1212]

Awesome! Thank you Gabe! Been on this band wagon of prevention for many many years! Bravo for speaking the truth!❤️

[@stevenpavia1142]

This is a great video- it’s 6 years old... and nothing’s changed

[@leot8433]

Nothing has changed because cancer is good business. why would they kill a cash cow? sorry to say all this but this is bitter truth. 2021 we still fighting!

[@billyhunter5161]

These are the same things I have been trying to tell my family for the past few months since a family member of our was diagnosed. This is one of the best and inspirational videos I have seen. I thank you.

[@foxfur8327]

But it likely won't get a lot of likes from corporations who value money over health.

[@abrohamproductions8263]

This guy has a great voice. He should have a podcast.

[@foxfur8327]

Agree, and he has the tyoe of body that would suggest he has plenty of testosterone, which iindeed makes people wonder what's going on!

[@tongfoocheong8254]

Deep voice is associated with high levels of testosterone

[@rajeevSreenivasan]

Wonderful information

[@rgrea2]

Love your message and can and will do the prevention and social media

[@norleenapoynter2581]

Fantastic talk! I'm inspired. Let's talk more about changing the conversation @gabecanales. I believe there is more we can be doing as oncologists.

[@maurice970]

​@Logic genius do you mind sharing those natural cures?

[@k.s.ferguson890]

U are right, it's the products that we consume now are toxic so it should be regulated more. If we'll check all labels of food & non food in the grocery, u will be amazed. I say, reestablish, reprogram & reprimand the DFA so the businesses will create more healthy products & not toxic ones 🙏🏽💜

[@needtosaveearth]

Blessed !

[@tristramgordon8252]

I do wish people would stop using the word "fighting" in regard to cancer. Nobody "fights" cancer, they endure it, and in the later stages, suffer it. Only people who don't have cancer, oh, and charities, use "fighting", believe me, it's a nonsense.

[@k.w.youngblood.7482]

Right on Gabe !! Prevention!!

[@suelidoliva]

Very good!!!

[@pamelaf5913]

Excellent

[@jlhh767]

What a great video. Food has so much to do with what goes wrong with our bodies. When you read the ingredients on the package the less in the better and when you can not pronounce or do not know what that 50 dollar word us put it back on the shelf. Like he said there are to many chemicals that are in the food. It sneaks up on you. 💥

[@user-em3jx9rm1q]

Fighting

[@ramonetlamagwaza3937]

Great video, simply delivered and highly informative. Medical and health departments, many influential senior doctors and politicians are CAPTURED by Big Pharma. Many Drs with alternative views are ostracized. Thanks for this video

[@frickfran]

Why does this have so little views

[@Gr8Believer]

Good Talk, thank you very much. What's the use of watching what we eat and what we drink when they're chemtrailing us like bugs

[@anet77349]

People need to look past the personalities and really research the materials.

[@samanthataylor1761]

Annette Garcia-Thompson do you disagree?

[@jilross4892]

the issue is that people get interested in prevention only, when they get into a life threatening situation.

[@VincentGill3]

There is no 'one cure fits all'. How you cure cancer depends on what caused it. Unresolved physical, mental or environmental stress seem to be the main causes. If you remove the root cause you cure the cancer.

[@followme3000]

He is so right . ... but who to trust ..

[@whatwillbem6825]

Healthy people aren’t profitable…bottom line everyone needs to take charge of their own health…

[@Rene-uz3eb]

Crazy idea..maybe stop fighting cancer and try to help what it's trying to do so the body doesn't need it anymore. Like when did we ever fight fibration? The fight against scars? The only difference is cancer is living tissue that's also perfused, so that actually helps surrounding tissue. Also you don't die of prostate cancer, you die of organ failure if it spreads to other organs. And that spread could just be due to the toxic environment in your body having spread so cancer cells have to come in to help stabilize the surrounding tissue. It's certainly a different perspective

[@ronald1111]

Endostatin is a cure for cancer -pbs Nova

[@bobochan4699]

people in non develop countries have no chances, everything pesticides, herbicides, etc
