If I had cancer, what would I do?

[@stevesklenka2181]

Probably the best nutrition lecture ever! Should have a million views.

Thanks!

Sooo interesting that the production of CO2 helps with Vasodilation!! And that Cancer cells do Not produce CO2 like our healthy cells due to their hijacking’s of normal cell glucose use. Wow! I Always learn new things listening to you, and makes the low fat WFPB diet and exercise even more clear.. to help avoid cancer. Thank you for being Such an amazing teacher Dr. Rogers! 👍💫💜🙏

Thank you Dr Rogers, I found your lecture incredibly helpful !!

[@ts2603]

Absolutely very informative lecture regarding this subject. Thank you

[@kardste8114]

I think that also about the need for chemo in many cases. Oncologists need to explain cancer Grades better- cuz how can chemo help a Slow growing cancer?

[@KenGaskins-nm3gx]

MAGNIFICENT! You've done a lot of very good podcasts/lectures, and I believe this is really the best one so far. Really useful and complete. Also, I love your tone in this one! Not bare knuckled at all! This makes it more effective. I think this is actually the best and most effective talk on cancer (health in general for that matter) I've ever heard anywhere. Thanks for doing it! I encourage everyone to share this with anyone who wants to prevent, is curious or is wrestling with cancer.

Thanks!

Do you have any data about WFPB diets for those suffering from CML? One of my clients was just diagnosed. She has been WFPB since January. Her oncologist is starting her on Gleevec, a chemo pill. Thanks!

[@PeterRogersMD]

@@veggiegourmet Dr Mcdougall at Chef AJ channel has a video about how meat causes lymphoma. I've also heard that glyphosphate increases risk of lymphoma. I made some lectures about the immune system and how it is suppressed by high fat diets, lecture at veg source. I realize CML is different, but there is some overlap. I would always read about the actual outcomes with a given chemo. Not just accept that something is the "standard." The standard doesn't mean much. Off the top of my head, I don't know how well chemo works for CML. Chris Wark and Dr Mcdougall have lots of testimonials. I would check them for anyone with CML.

If a lowered oxygenation causes cancer, does it follow that chronic anemia causes cancer?

[@PeterRogersMD]

Anemia is a mixed thing. Lowers blood viscosity = lowers blood pressure = prevents atherosclerosis. I don't know exactly where the tipping point is when the negative outweighs the positive = obviously the worse the anemia the more fatigued the patient will be. One can look at the symptoms of the patient. There is also the issue of anemia of chronic disease. An interesting question is Hba1c = glycation of hemoglobin in diabetics = causes a false elevation of O2 saturation by about 3 points. Ie. glycated hemoglobin has higher affinity for oxygen = releases less to tissue. 3 points is not much, but in pathogenesis, a in a lot of situations, eg. neuronal excitotoxicity, it's not one thing that tips a cell into apoptosis. It's the accumulation of about 15-20 things.

Can you make a video on colon cancer and why you think it's rising among young people?

[@ad6417]

I think it's caused by deviant lifestyle.

[@Amanda_downunder]

My biological mother died of colon cancer aged 37, back in the 1980s. 😥

First of all thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge. I am a 45 y.o. stage 1 ovarian cancer survivor, have had a radical hysterctomy . I follow a plant based diet, and due to the increasing risk of developing dementia and cvd for the lack of estrogen and its protective function, i am taking a couple spoons of home grounded flax seeds (for hotflashes and estrogen like effect )and wallnuts and considering algae suplementattion. In this case would you avoid them for being fats as well or is it worthy the intake? Thank you Dr. Rogers

[@veggiegourmet]

Do you have any data about a low fat WFPB diet for CML? One of my clients was just diagnosed and her oncologist wants to start her on Gleevec, a chemo in pill form. She has been on a low fat WFPB diet since Jan. Her WBC was 8000 which is what triggered hospitalization and bone marrow testing. Thanks!

[@filomenamillermiller3035]

I would follow Professor Thomas Seyfried's Press Pulse protocol along with metabolic therapy. Whatever method a person chooses should just be that, THEIR choice.

[@jmwhitt]

NORI cancer protocol is vegan and has good results.

I know you are a smart guy but I don't understand. How can people listen to someone, from a medical Western bac ground,tell others what to eat. I think other countries with less illness less diabetes, cancer, who eat soy products, and fish and who are heathier what to eat. I am not saying you do not have valid points. Other countries we eat beans rice who are healthier. These other populations I've been healthier than Americans for generations.
