Integrative Cancer Solutions with Dr. Karlfeldt Michael Karlfeldt

On today's episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions we are joined by Deb Krier. Herjourney through the world of cancer has been profoundly shaped by her past experiences. Years ago, she worked for an oncologist, a remarkable man whose approach to cancer care was far ahead of his time. This experience greatly influenced her perspective and decisions when she faced her own cancer diagnosis in 2015. The oncologist's recent passing saddened me, but his forward-thinking philosophy continues to inspire her.

Additionally, her work with the American Cancer Society provided her with valuable knowledge, which came into play when she was diagnosed. When she was diagnosed, the initial discovery was calcification, detected by a mammogram, and not a lump or bump. These tiny spots, smaller than grains of salt, led to further tests and a stage zero cancer diagnosis. While the situation was concerning, it wasn't immediately alarming. However, subsequent tests revealed that the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes, necessitating a more aggressive approach. Her journey included biopsies, MRIs, and eventually, a double mastectomy. Throughout this process, she chose to follow traditional treatments but also did extensive research to make informed decisions. This experience taught me the importance of being proactive and knowledgeable about one's own health.

Despite facing multiple complications, including septic shock and the loss of part of her digestive system, she persevered. Her approach to treatment, including a decision against reconstructive surgery, was guided by thorough research and personal comfort. She also embraced a mindset focused on living fully despite my health challenges. This philosophy was reinforced by the memory of her oncologist and his emphasis on the power of the mind. Ultimately, her experiences led her to create an organization dedicated to helping others navigate similar journeys. Trying Not to Die Live embodies the principle of living life to the fullest, regardless of the obstacles, a lesson she has come to cherish deeply.

Discovery: Deb finds a lump in her breast during a routine self-examination, a moment that sets off a series of medical appointments and tests.
Diagnosis: After undergoing a mammogram, ultrasound, and biopsy, she receives the diagnosis of breast cancer, a moment marked by shock and fear.
Treatment: She embarks on a rigorous treatment plan, which includes surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, each phase presenting its own set of challenges and side effects.
Support: Throughout her journey, she relies on a strong support system of family, friends, and healthcare professionals, whose encouragement and assistance prove invaluable.
Resilience: Despite the physical and emotional toll, she demonstrates remarkable strength and resilience, finding hope and determination to fight and ultimately survive the disease.

In this interview on the Integrative Cancer Solutions podcast, Denise Stevenson shares her transformative journey following a breast cancer diagnosis at age 50. Initially dismissing some health signs, she eventually visited her doctor upon returning to France from the UK, which led to a diagnosis of breast cancer. Faced with a daunting treatment plan that included a mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, Denise explored integrative approaches alongside conventional treatments. She fasted during chemotherapy, changed her diet, exercised, and utilized various supplements and essential oils. Astonishingly, within 11 weeks, her tumor had disappeared. She later opted for a lumpectomy instead of a mastectomy, and has remained cancer-free for six years.
Denise emphasizes the importance of integrative cancer care, combining traditional medical treatments with holistic approaches to support the body and mind. She highlights the psychological impact of cancer treatment and the lack of personal understanding she felt from her medical team. Inspired by her experience and the support she received from various resources, Denise created a website to share information and provide hope to others facing similar diagnoses. Driven by her successful outcome and the desire to support others, Denise created a comprehensive website offering resources on cancer and other health conditions. The site includes medical research, testimonials, nutrition advice, and mental health support, aiming to provide hope and prevent diseases through lifestyle changes. Her story underscores the significance of patient advocacy and the need for a more compassionate, integrative approach to cancer treatment, blending conventional medicine with lifestyle changes and natural therapies to improve outcomes and quality of life. Denise's story highlights the psychological and emotional toll of her experience, exacerbated by the perceived lack of empathy and rigid protocols in the French healthcare system.
Denise underscores the importance of addressing the whole person, not just the disease, advocating for integrative healthcare approaches that consider patients' mental and emotional well-being.
* Denise Stevenson resisted a mastectomy due to its profound personal and identity implications, despite pressure from healthcare professionals.
* She opted for an integrative approach, combining conventional medical treatments with natural therapies, which led to her tumor's disappearance.
* Denise's experience highlighted the emotional and psychological toll of her diagnosis and the perceived lack of empathy in the French healthcare system.
* Driven by her success, she created a comprehensive website with resources on cancer, mental health, nutrition, and lifestyle changes to support others and promote disease prevention.

Alden was diagnosed with stage four metastatic melanoma after discovering a lump near his jaw. Despite the grim prognosis, he and his partner, Anne, decided against traditional surgery due to the severe side effects and minimal hope offered by their doctors. Instead, they sought alternative treatments, inspired by their past success in dealing with their daughter's mercury poisoning through unconventional means. They consulted various holistic practitioners and adopted a regimen that included positive thinking, love, gratitude, and the use of a vibrational healing machine called the monocore device. Over the course of ten weeks, Alden's tumors completely disappeared, much to the astonishment of his doctors.

When Alden returned to his surgeon for a follow-up, the doctor was shocked and admitted he had never seen anything like it. Alden and Anne explained their approach, which included neuroplasticity, herbal supplements, and the monocore device, though the medical professionals found it difficult to comprehend. The head of oncology research at the university was particularly intrigued, noting that Alden's overall health had improved significantly. Despite her enthusiasm and the remarkable results, she acknowledged that implementing such unconventional methods in mainstream medicine would require extensive study and time, highlighting the challenges of integrating alternative treatments into traditional medical practices.

After all the tests were done, the doctors were astounded, declaring that he was no longer a cancer patient and didn’t need to return. Despite their reassurances, we couldn’t help but question if he was truly cancer-free. However, we decided to trust the results and move forward, though we waited a few years before sharing our experience widely. We wanted to ensure that the healing was real and lasting, especially considering the initial severity of his diagnosis and the fact that the cancer had metastasized.

During this period, we remained cautious, wondering if the cancer might reappear elsewhere. Even the surgeon from Harvard, Dr. California, acknowledged that while the parotid gland had been compromised, there was no cancer left in the lymph nodes. He was surprised to find no cancer cells, a rarity even in healthy individuals. This thorough process confirmed that the alternative treatments we pursued were effective, reinforcing our decision to continue with our approach. The surgeon, exhausted but impressed, admitted that our methods were more effective than conventional treatments could have been.

Diagnosis and Prognosis: Alden was diagnosed with stage four metastatic melanoma, with doctors initially giving him a prognosis of only two months to live due to the aggressive nature of the cancer and lack of effective treatment options.

Alternative Healing Approach: Alden and his partner chose to pursue alternative treatments, including sending love to the cancer cells, using a vibrational healing machine (Monicor), and applying principles of positive thinking and gratitude. They also incorporated nutritional supplements and holistic practices into their regimen.

Remarkable Recovery: After approximately ten weeks of following their alternative healing methods, Alden's tumors completely disappeared, surprising medical professionals who had never seen such a recovery. Their approach combined spiritual practices, alternative therapies, and lifestyle changes, resulting in not only the elimination of cancer but also an overall improvement in Alden's health.

Cancer-Free Diagnosis and Surgery: Despite being declared cancer-free after several tests, there were still concerns about metastasis. The surgeon recommended removing the compromised parotid gland and surrounding lymph nodes. After a lengthy and nerve-wracking surgery, it was confirmed that no cancerous cells remained in the lymph nodes, validating the success of their treatment.

Today on the show Dr. Karlfeldt is with Susan Levin as you listen in you will hear some great stories that Susan and her late husband did to move integrative care forward.

Below is a little about Susan Levin:

"In 1975 I was living on the fast track in NYC. I smoked, ate only one meal a day and that was usually at restaurants. I was in for a rude awakening.  My gums were bleeding and I soon was to learn from a periodontist that my teeth were also loose.  But I was so young! He recommended a very expensive surgery as the remedy.

My mom, although once bedridden, had turned her health around with the help of an MD that utilized extensive diagnostic testing, nutrition, supplements, and detoxification to support the body’s healing abilities. After 6 months in his care, eating well and cooking for myself, my energy and sense of well being were transformed! My gums were no longer bleeding and my teeth had tightened. I returned to the Periodontist. He could not believe the change he saw in my mouth. Nor did he ask what I had done.

The doctor who had transformed my health eventually became my husband. Together Warrren M. Levin, MD and I were embarking on a journey together that would last over 30 years, not only as husband and wife but as pioneers in the world of Integrative and Alternative Medicine. Today I carry on with our mission through educating my clients about the possible options, treatments and protocols that are available to them by helping them to build and coordinate a support team to steer a course towards complete healing and recovery." Susan Levin

A few points from the show:

Dr. Levin purchased a family medicine practice after serving as an officer in the Navy and encountered a patient who believed she had hypoglycemia despite being diagnosed as a neurotic housewife by another doctor.
Initially skeptical, Dr. Levin conducted a glucose tolerance test on the insistent patient, which confirmed her severe hypoglycemia, prompting him to seek further information and treatment methods from other practitioners and organizations.
After successfully treating the patient with a hypoglycemic diet and vitamins, Dr. Levin's interest in alternative medicine grew, leading him to apply similar treatments to his daughter with remarkable results.
Dr. Levin expanded his practice to include various alternative therapies and moved to larger facilities in Brooklyn Heights and the World Trade Center, gaining a significant following despite opposition from the medical establishment.
In the 1980s, Dr. Levin presented a study on the relationship between parasites, amoebas, and undiagnosed conditions, but faced severe backlash from the medical community, leading to legal battles and personal financial strain.
Despite the challenges, Dr. Levin continued to advocate for and implement innovative medical treatments, ultimately winning a pivotal legal case in 1994, which had a lasting impact on the acceptance and practice of alternative medicine.

Dagmara Beine discusses her journey into advocating for integrative approaches to pediatric cancer care, driven by her experience as a parent of a child diagnosed with cancer. Faced with a lack of resources and support for holistic treatments specifically tailored to children, Dr. Beine embarked on a mission to provide guidance to parents navigating the complexities of childhood cancer treatment. Her book, "A Parent's Guide to Childhood Cancer," serves as a comprehensive resource, offering insights from diagnosis through post-treatment recovery, highlighting the importance of holistic healing beyond conventional medical interventions.

She discusses her approach to treating pediatric cancer patients in a comprehensive and integrative manner. They emphasize the importance of going beyond conventional treatment plans and conducting thorough assessments of each patient's health, including looking at labs beyond what oncology typically orders and incorporating epigenetic testing. They create personalized supplement regimens based on treatment plans, lab results, and epigenetic factors. Additionally, they advocate for mistletoe therapy as an immune modulator and discuss its potential benefits in different types of cancer. They also highlight the importance of IV therapies, such as high dose Vitamin C, to support healthy cells and aid in recovery during and after treatment.



Dagmara's motivation stems from her own struggle to find integrative resources for her daughter's cancer journey, prompting her to fill the gap in available information and support for pediatric cancer patients.
She emphasizes the necessity of building a comprehensive team for holistic care, including oncologists, specialized nutritionists, integrative practitioners, and therapists focusing on mind-body wellness.
