    Dr. Syed Hasnain Haider-Shah – Cutting-Edge Cancer Therapies, Interventional Oncology, and Why the Guidelines Are Failing Patients

    What if the most powerful cancer treatments already exist — but aren’t being offered because they fall outside the guidelines? In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. Michael Karlfeldt sits down with world-renowned interventional radiologist and oncology innovator Dr. Syed Hasnain Haider-Shah to explore why modern cancer care often prioritizes protocols over patients. From catheter-directed chemotherapy and tumor embolization to immune-based strategies, photobiomodulation, and precision nutrition, Dr. Shah reveals how advanced cancer treatments are being used globally — especially in China — while remaining largely inaccessible in the U.S. This conversation dives deep into the limitations of chemotherapy and radiation, the intelligence of cancer stem cells, immune system suppression, cancer cachexia, and why integrative, individualized approaches give patients their best chance at long-term survival. If you or someone you love is navigating a cancer diagnosis and searching for real options beyond “standard of care,” this episode is essential listening. Key Takeaways: 5:20 Radiation therapy risks and how to support recovery nutritionally 11:46 Why systemic chemotherapy often fails and selects for aggressive cancer cells 12:17 Catheter-directed chemotherapy: targeting tumors without poisoning the body 16:25 The immune system as the most powerful anti-cancer weapon 26:37 Tumor embolization: starving cancer by cutting off its blood supply 34:50 Why advanced cancer therapies thrive in China but are restricted in the U.S. Resources Mentioned: Williams Cancer Institute (Mexico) – https://williamscancerinstitute.com Photobiomodulation / Intravenous Light Therapy (General Overview) – https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov   Want to guest on our shows?

    Healing Beyond Diagnosis: Bron Watson on Cancer, Capacity, and Serenity`

    In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Dr. Michael Karlfeldt is joined by Bron Watson—registered nurse, educator, entrepreneur, and founder of The Serenity Project. With decades of experience in healthcare and two life-altering cancer diagnoses—breast cancer followed years later by incurable multiple myeloma—Bron brings a rare dual perspective: clinician and patient. Rather than being defined by diagnosis, she has transformed her lived experience into a framework for healing that integrates science, self-leadership, and soul. Bron shares her journey from passive patient to active participant, exploring what it truly means to become the CEO of your health. Together, she and Dr. Karlfeldt discuss navigating fear and uncertainty, asking empowered questions, and understanding what you can—and cannot—control. Bron introduces concepts such as the Serenity Project’s “third space” (where science meets spirituality), the Serenity Prayer as a practical tool, capacity and the spoon theory, and strategies for managing fear without suppressing it. This episode also dives into integrative cancer care, functional medicine, mindset, and why healing is more than just physical outcomes. Whether you’re facing cancer, supporting someone who is, or simply navigating uncertainty in life, this episode offers grounding wisdom and practical perspective. Bron’s message is clear and compassionate: healing is personal, empowerment matters, and you can live fully—right where your feet are—no matter the diagnosis. This conversation is an invitation to step out of fear, reclaim agency, and find serenity even in life’s hardest moments.

    Gabe Charalambides: Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy, Anxiety Relief, and Healing Trauma Through Safe, Evidence-Based Retreats

    Gabe Charalambides is the founder of Odyssey, the world’s leading provider of psilocybin-assisted therapy, and a Stanford-trained aerospace engineer whose personal experience with anxiety helped shape a mission: making psychedelic healing safer, more responsible, and more accessible to everyday people. After years working alongside leading psychedelic organizations, Gabe launched Odyssey in 2023 and helped open the first legal psilocybin retreat in the U.S., rooted in screening, preparation, and evidence-based support. In this conversation, we explore what psilocybin therapy can look like when done responsibly—why education, intention-setting, and integration matter as much as the ceremony itself. Gabe explains how psilocybin may reduce mental rigidity, increase psychological flexibility, and help people move through trauma, rumination, and fear—especially the existential distress that can come with a cancer diagnosis. We also break down what a guided experience typically involves (screening, preparation sessions, a full-day facilitated journey, and post-session integration), what outcomes Odyssey is tracking through an IRB-approved study, and why many participants describe their experience as one of the most meaningful of their lives. If you’ve been curious about psychedelics but unsure what “safe” really means—or you’re navigating chronic illness, anxiety, or trauma and looking for new tools—this episode offers a grounded, practical look at what’s real, what’s promising, and what to consider before taking the next step.

    Jane McLelland: The “Metabolic Cocktail” Approach to Starving Cancer + The McLelland Metro Map™ (Featured on Cancer Breakthroughs 3.0 Summit 2025)

    Featured on Cancer Breakthroughs 3.0 Summit 2025 — Jane McLelland is a four-time cancer survivor, former Chartered Physiotherapist, and the internationally bestselling author of How to Starve Cancer. After facing stage IV cervical cancer and later treatment-induced myelodysplasia (a pre-leukemia condition), Jane dove into decades of research to decode cancer metabolism and build a practical framework patients and clinicians can understand. Often called a “modern-day Cancer Sherlock Holmes,” she’s best known for the McLelland Metro Map™—a visual guide to the fuel pathways cancers use to survive and adapt. In this conversation, Jane explains why cancer is a “shapeshifter” and why single-solution thinking (one drug, one supplement, one diet) often falls short. She breaks down the logic behind her “Metabolic Cocktail” strategy—combining diet, movement, supplements, and carefully selected low-toxicity repurposed drugs to synergistically block multiple cancer fuel routes (glucose, glutamine, and fat pathways). You’ll also hear her cautionary take on DIY trends and oversimplified protocols, plus how tools like PET imaging, gene expression insights, and even AI can help personalize a more nuanced, adaptable plan. Most importantly, Jane offers a mindset shift: cancer treatment isn’t a static one-time choice—it’s an evolving strategy. If you’ve ever wondered how to “think metabolically,” ask better questions, and understand the why behind integrative combinations (including where keto can help—and where it can backfire), this episode gives you a clearer map and a smarter way forward. Key Topics Covered Why cancer behaves like a “shapeshifter” and adapts when one pathway is blockedThe core idea behind the McLelland Metro Map™ and metabolic “fuel routing”Jane’s Metabolic Cocktail philosophy: synergy across diet, exercise, supplements, and repurposed drugsThe overlooked role of glutamine and fat metabolism—not just glucose—in cancer fuelingHow keto can help early for some people, and how it may drive resistance pathways later for othersRepurposed drug principles Jane discusses (e.g., metformin-style glucose control, statins, anti-inflammatories, anti-platelet concepts) and why combinations matterUsing tools like PET scans (and the limitations when cancers shift fuels) to understand metabolic activityStrategies and cautions around blocking glutamine uptake (and why receptor-level targeting matters)A practical overview of ferroptosis: GPX4 vs. cysteine/glutathione pathways and why pulsing mattersThe importance of doctor oversight, personalization, and avoiding extreme “one-size-fits-all” DIY protocols ----------------------------------------------- A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health ThreatGrab my book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860    Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering CancerGet it here: https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-powerPrice: $24.99100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1   Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of CancerGet it here: https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-withinPrice: $24.99100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2 ----------------------------------------------- Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

    John Richardson on Vitamin B17 & Apricot Seeds — Featured on Cancer Breakthroughs 3.0 Summit 2025

    John A. Richardson, Jr. (Richardson Nutritional Center) joins Integrative Cancer Solutions with Dr. Karlfeldt in an episode featured on the Cancer Breakthroughs 3.0 Summit 2025, sharing the personal legacy behind his mission to educate the public about Vitamin B17—also known as amygdalin/laetrile—found in apricot seeds. As the son of Dr. John A. Richardson, MD, who faced intense backlash for using nutritional and alternative approaches, John offers a rare inside look at why this conversation remains so relevant for patients seeking integrative options. In this discussion, John and Dr. Karlfeldt break down the proposed mechanism behind Vitamin B17, why supporters believe it may target cancer cells differently than healthy cells, and how integrative strategies often include diet changes and supportive therapies. John also shares a recent, high-pressure hospital experience where he was urged toward major colon surgery and aggressive follow-up treatment—only to recover after stepping away and focusing on a natural, inflammation-reduction approach. Along the way, they explore how fear-based timelines can drive medical decisions, why taking time to educate yourself matters, and what patient empowerment can look like in real life. If you’re navigating a diagnosis, supporting a loved one, or focused on prevention, this summit-featured conversation challenges the “only one path” mindset—and encourages thoughtful, informed choices rooted in clarity rather than panic. Key Topics Covered John Richardson’s family history with Vitamin B17 (amygdalin/laetrile) and apricot seedsDr. John A. Richardson’s clinic, public advocacy, and the persecution he facedWhy integrative cancer patients often feel pressured into rapid chemo/radiation/surgery decisionsThe proposed mechanism of B17: amygdalin, enzymes, and the “selective activation” claimPrevention vs. treatment: using nutritional strategies before disease progressesThe role of enzymes and diet changes in integrative protocols (including reducing certain burdens on digestion)John’s recent hospital experience: being told he needed colon surgery and chemo/radiation, then recovering without itConcerns raised about colonoscopy economics, false positives, and procedure risks (as discussed in the episode)Using supportive therapies mentioned in the conversation: ozone, infrared approaches, IV injections, methylene blue (as referenced)Patient empowerment: slowing down, seeking counsel, and making informed choices under pressure ----------------------------------------------- A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health ThreatGrab my book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860    Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering CancerGet it here: https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-powerPrice: $24.99100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1   Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of CancerGet it here: https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-withinPrice: $24.99100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2 ----------------------------------------------- Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

    Amanda King ND on Metabolic Drugs for Cancer: Repurposed Meds, Ketogenic Therapy, and Personalized Integrative Oncology

    Amanda King ND is a nutritional therapist, naturopathic practitioner, and author of Metabolic Drugs for Cancer (co-written with Dr. Hari Kuhan). She also writes The Metabolic Nutritionist on Substack—followed by 30,000+ subscribers—where she breaks down off-label oncology drugs, supplements, and metabolic approaches to cancer care in clear, practical language. In this episode, Dr. King joins Dr. Michael Karlfeldt to explain why “cancer is a disease of metabolism” is more than a slogan—and how understanding metabolic weaknesses can empower smarter, more personalized integrative strategies. You’ll hear how repurposed medications can target cancer’s metabolic pathways (glucose, mitochondria, inflammatory signaling, and more), and why personalization matters more than internet protocols. Amanda and Dr. Karlfeldt discuss the Care Oncology “METRICS” drug set (including metformin, statins, doxycycline, and mebendazole), plus additional tools like ivermectin, fenbendazole, DCA, 2-DG, anti-inflammatories (aspirin/COX pathways), histamine blockers (cimetidine), and even PDE5 inhibitors like sildenafil/tadalafil—along with real cautions around dosing, contraindications, and interactions (including potential conflicts with immunotherapy). The conversation also ties metabolic therapy to the “press–pulse” concept and terrain-based care: ketogenic nutrition, inflammation reduction, oxygenation, and lifestyle foundations that strengthen the body while making cancer more vulnerable. Whether you’re a patient, caregiver, or practitioner, this episode offers a grounded roadmap for thinking about integrative oncology without guesswork—using a “test, assess, address” mindset to build a strategy that evolves with labs, symptoms, treatment phases, and the individual. Key Topics Covered Why cancer metabolism (not just genetics) is a key lever in integrative oncologyWhat repurposed/off-label drugs can target: glucose pathways, mitochondria, signaling pathways (e.g., EGFR/AKT/mTOR)Why one-size-fits-all protocols are risky—and how to personalize using “test, assess, address”The Care Oncology/METRICS drug set and when it may (or may not) fitSafety and dosing concerns with high-dose ivermectin/fenbendazole and DIY internet protocolsWhen metformin vs berberine may be appropriate—and why they can sometimes be combinedDoxycycline: potential synergy (e.g., with IV vitamin C) vs contraindications (including immunotherapy concerns)Anti-inflammatory strategy: COX pathways, aspirin vs selective COX-2 approaches, plus natural options“Press–pulse” metabolic strategy and why protocols should evolve over timeOther emerging tools discussed: DCA, 2-DG, cimetidine, itraconazole, PDE5 inhibitors (Viagra/Cialis) ----------------------------------------------- A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health ThreatGrab my book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860    Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering CancerGet it here: https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-powerPrice: $24.99100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1   Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of CancerGet it here: https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-withinPrice: $24.99100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2 ----------------------------------------------- Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

    Kevin Donaghy: Finding Hope in Stage-IV Melanoma and the Stories That Carry Us Through Cancer

    A stage-IV metastatic melanoma diagnosis is often delivered with words like incurable and life-limiting. In this deeply moving episode, Dr. Michael Karlfeldt sits down with Kevin Donaghy, an IT consultant from Melrose, Scotland, who has lived more than six years beyond his diagnosis—and transformed his personal cancer journey into a global mission of hope. Through his lived experience and the revolutionary impact of immunotherapy, Kevin offers rare insight into what it truly means to navigate advanced cancer with courage, honesty, and humanity. Kevin shares the emotional realities of being told his cancer was medically incurable, the isolation and fear that followed, and how finding community during COVID lockdowns became a turning point for his mental health. Out of that connection grew Stories of Cancer and Hope, an anthology of 39 real-life cancer stories—some triumphant, some heartbreaking—all designed to offer solidarity to those who feel alone. Listeners will hear powerful reflections on cancer ghosting, mental health struggles, redefining hope, and why shared stories can be as life-saving as treatment itself. This episode is essential listening for cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and healthcare professionals alike. Whether you are newly diagnosed, supporting a loved one, or seeking deeper understanding of the emotional side of cancer, Kevin’s story reminds us that hope is not a single outcome—it is something that evolves, connects, and endures. Key Topics Covered Living beyond a stage-IV metastatic melanoma diagnosisThe emotional shock of being told cancer is “incurable”Immunotherapy for melanoma: promise, risks, and realitiesCancer isolation, loneliness, and “cancer ghosting”Mental health challenges and suicidal ideation in cancer patientsThe healing power of community and shared lived experienceCreating Stories of Cancer and Hope and distributing thousands of free booksHow hope changes throughout the cancer journeySupporting families and caregivers through understanding and empathyConnect with Kevin Donaghy & Stories of Cancer and Hope Website: https://www.storiesofcancerandhope.co.uk/ Social Media: LinkedIn: Kevin DonaghyInstagram: Kevin A Donaghy, Stories of Cancer and HopeBluesky: storiescancerhope.bsky.socialAmazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Kevin-Donaghy/author/B0D7S7LRMJ?ref=ap_rdr&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=d17d4d5b-3bb2-4adf-87a3-b274a0211630 ----------------------------------------------- A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health ThreatGrab my book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860    Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering CancerGet it here: https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-powerPrice: $24.99100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1   Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of CancerGet it here: https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-withinPrice: $24.99100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2 ----------------------------------------------- Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

    Ryan Sternagel: The Stern Method—How One Family Navigated Stage 4 Childhood Cancer, Built a Non-Toxic Life, and Found Integrative Hope

    Ryan Sternagel—co-founder of The Stern Method, Going Integrative Plus (GIP+), and Our Health Naturally—joins Dr. Karlfeldt to share the real story behind his family’s mission: in 2014, Ryan and his wife Teddy learned their son Ryder had stage four neuroblastoma just eleven days before his first birthday. What followed was a crash course in advocacy, research, and resilience—plus a decades-worth of integrative insights earned the hard way. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by a diagnosis, pressured into one path, or unsure how to “do everything” without losing your mind, this conversation is for you. In this episode, Ryan walks through the moment they knew something was wrong, the medical runaround that nearly delayed answers, and how they learned to push for imaging, ask better questions, and make decisions strategically—especially when facing institutional pressure. They discuss the chess match many families experience in pediatric oncology, including navigating treatment expectations, scan decisions, and the importance of building a supportive plan that addresses nutrition, environment, and mindset alongside medical care. Ryan also shares the evolution from documenting their journey online to creating a searchable library of expert integrative oncology guidance through GIP+—so families can learn directly from top holistic cancer doctors and “test-drive” approaches that resonate. You’ll also hear Ryan’s perspective on “cake vs. frosting”: why foundational daily practices (circadian rhythm, nature time, reducing toxic load, nervous system regulation, and belief/mindset work) often matter more than any shiny new therapy—yet how select advanced tools may fit into a larger integrative strategy. This is a grounded, motivating listen for patients, caregivers, and practitioners who want a more empowered, organized way forward. Key Topics Covered Ryder’s stage 4 neuroblastoma diagnosis and the early warning signs that were missedSelf-advocacy in pediatrics: pushing for ultrasound/MRI and trusting intuitionNavigating hospital systems, treatment escalation, and the realities of compliance pressureBuilding an “integrative support stack”: nutrition, juicing, supplements, IV vitamin C, and lifestyleThe importance of organization and implementation: turning information into a workable scheduleNon-toxic living and environmental control (EMFs, chemicals, lighting, plastics, circadian rhythm)Mindset as medicine: trauma work, belief systems, meditation/breathwork, and daily centering practices“Cake vs. frosting”: foundational habits vs. advanced/experimental therapiesRyan’s “talent scout” approach: finding top integrative cancer doctors and filtering conflicting infoGIP+ as a model for weekly expert access, Q&A, and a searchable archive of integrative guidanceTo learn more about Ryan and Teddy’s work, explore The Stern Method, their step-by-step framework for implementing integrative cancer support in real life, at https://thesternmethod.com/ Listeners can also check out OUR 7, their comprehensive epigenetic nutrient blend from Our Health Naturally, available at https://ourhealthnaturally.com/ use the discount code KARLFELDT20 to receive 20% off from December 16–31, 2025, and KARLFELDT for 10% off ongoing orders after that.
