The thing is, oncologists probably don't see it as a failure to go in 1 year from stage 1 to stage 4. "Why, we got you one more year," they probably think. And yet, for anyone with cancer and their loved ones and doctors like Dr. Makis, that is beyond a failure. And then the "mainstream" doctors wonder why we don't trust them. When I told a doctor I was taking Ivermectin for something (I like ro poke bears), he guffawed. Laugh away, doctor. Laugh away. I love me some Ivermectin.

I am a surgical oncologist. I have performed about 400 pancreatic resections in my career, stopping care for abdominal cancer in 2016. I saw too many early recurrences with HPB cancers, though less with early gastric and esophageal cancers. We do better with colorectal cancers but I firmly believe nontraditional systemic therapy is the way forward. I believe the "sugar" mechanism is not so much the sugar as "food" but rather stimulation of things like insulin-like growth factor and the general immunosuppression of even transient hyperglycemia. Vitamin D deficiency is rampant and the modern American diet is one of "functional malnutrition". The toxins in our food supply are another story entirely.
