I want to say thank you to the hope inspiring Cancer Care & numerous golden nuggets – the cancer booklets. The glorious microbiome gut heath, the gerd booklet, and on it goes. This was on my mind before I saw this thread.

When folks increase their Vit D to proper levels, when they know traditional cancer care is “on its face in the dirt” as it hardly works & at times sometimes producing worse outcomes, & pathetic quality of life.

We give spark to others I see the spark I am traveling in days to come, cancer care in my suitcase- for the waitress who’s 27 year old totally health nut daughter is in throws of cancer as she is in shock – “I have cancer!”

Our humankind deserves all this genius effort. And you guys are such, the genius spins & increases from the care each of you doctors hold in your heart- it magnifies beyond previous bounds.

You are relentless – you punch above your weight.

Bless those sick with cancer, bless those in somewhat meek state who are searching to make their bodies stronger not knowing if they have this or that disease.

Thank you for those who contributed $ lately- please don’t stop. The IMA is up against a trillion dollar pharma machine. Only thing- that pharma machine hardly cares in their heart. I pray they see, they hear, they care.

I live with a Wall of Tears. We are in a D-Day moment like my dad who lived through that to tell a good story later. May we have a good story to tell later, that those around us did not die in vain.

Wondering if there is a way to ask Dr. Marik if ivermectin has worked for CLL Leukemia?

[gratitude]

Regarding CLL Leukemia – anyone aware of a doctor/resource using repurposed drugs that have had success in treating CLL? Thanks.

[Tommy Blake]

Important disclosure- I am not affiliated with IMA in any way except that I am one of all the folks around the world who read and use their products, from time to time I contribute a little bit financially.

I am one who has benefitted from the medical advice as have been my friends & community, with my eyes awakened around 2021 or so, listening and learning from IMA.

Bless this day.

Referrals to open minded providers in New England would be very helpful. I have yet to be able to locate a doctor in the region to send patients to who is not completely on the chemo/radiation train. The kickbacks must be so good! 🙁

It seems if a physician takes health insurance, he or she will not even consider deviating from whatever protocol has been mandated by the Northeast monopolies.

Also, are there any telehealth doctors who do “pro bono” work for individuals who are not affluent? Unfortunately, all the alternatives to insurance based medicine are way out of the price range of the working/lower middle class who already pay over $12K a year for the most basic health insurance plans and don’t have a ton of disposable income after taxes, etc.

Thanks, @theornerynurse …I do know we are dedicating time to building a list of trusted providers and a list of integrative oncologists, it is something we know the community really needs but it unfortunately takes time and resources to do it well. Watch this space.

Being proactive with any pre-cancer steps, or pro-active steps into our lifestyles.

My wife had cancer scare of stomach last year / earlier this year, painful gerd proceeded since she lost her dad & sister within 2 days of each passing some 8 years ago- a shock. The gerd started badly after her loss, from then to present. Her stomach had that salmon look this spring, cultures taken, was not cancer- could be in future. I have wrestled with elevated PSA, elevated C-reactive protein, elevated A1C- in last few years- after unusual series of lawsuits where we had to defend ourselves- a shock to us- deeply tapping into every resource we had mind body soul (& $). For us Covid was nothing in stress compared to the lawsuits – me “being gagged for 2 years”. The lawsuits overlapped the Covid events.

Life comes hard and fast at us, at us all. The beauty of kindred spirits within IMA, such a quality of life bonus.

With help & implementing of IMA “ongoing learning” both of us are doing a LOT better. Cancer & just aging is always there as we live life’s journey. I so enjoy the nutrition advice, gut microbiome health.

This hub is a welcome tool for the hopeless in their despair condition- their fog of “what to do”. Higher efficiency of reckoning. Many live in secret at first, the mortal pain. I have heard stories from our friends from the insurance dysfunction, their massive out of pocket costs in spite of supposed good insurance. There are so many around us here that are treating cancer (I have a 12 person church committee with 4 members in active cancer treatments or recent remission at this time)- I think it is same everywhere.

So I am not much on help- just proactive lifestyle is critically important before, during, after cancer goes into remission.

Bless “the hub” concept.

❤ Thanks @tommywalkshills s as always

I would have appreciated knowing the futility of chemotherapy (all cancers, all stages: 2.1%), knowing that neither chemo nor radiation affect cancer stem cells, that fully 20% of the cancers in this country are actually CAUSED by the prior chemo/radiation from a previous cancer, that neither mammography or colonoscopy affect cancer mortality, that cancer is a metabolic disease rather than a disease of accumulated genetic damage as we’re taught in med school and around which the entire U.S. cancer industry is centered around.

I would’ve appreciated a physician directory greatly! And knowing that an organization like Immerman’s Angels (where they age/sex/tumor type match you with someone a bit ahead of you in the pipeline so they can help you go through it). I found this by chance after diagnosis but wish everyone was told about this at diagnosis.

Dear Dr Marik & Dr Kory, this morning post-release of Cancer hub,

“Thank you & bless you (from my dad, army vet, in heaven) dearly” for both of you fighting fearlessly at the beach, a D Day event, you both coming ashore- battling, “blazing your guns” just 5 or so years ago. A mighty event in history.

Dad is smiling & rooting for you from heaven this very moment. Can’t you hear him? Can you hear him above the battle carnage?

Fighting alongside each other and being the inspiration & ally fighting with your fellow doctors, the soldiers on the beach taking fire, mortal wounding everywhere, needing inspiration for the battle that was & is bloody.

Giving your all for a cause, going at it with blind faith. Dad knew that – as he came ashore at DDay fighting for just cause- he to was with blind faith in the bewildering smoke, noise, confusion, fog, so much carnage. Fighting for the future of mankind.

You are now in the Argonne Forest fighting the enemy, in the foxholes, shells dropping everywhere, brutal cold.

I see it- I see the battle raging—I’m right here, a witness, in Virginia – back from a deacons meeting. Names of those stricken in our church & community updated, noted, & prayed for, a letter read of a deacon comrade dropping out as cancer has over taken her body. Another deacon, the shell of a person with cancer, fighting on – staying on the deacon board – another deacon with cancer in remission though month to month his body is not healthy. The list outside of our 9 person deacon body of others in our church & community is daunting, ever growing. It leaves one in shock “How can so much cancer be everywhere, all ages, striking hard with heavy blows?”

Your passion your drive your brain trust your brutal perseverance we need. You are mighty generals as Patton was on the front lines. My dad saw him many times as dad said his jeep swerved to miss incoming shelling as they were building the bridge to cross the Rhine. Dad was so close he saw Patton’s pearl handled pistols on his hip as he was tied in to the butt cradle in the jeep.. He said they had no idea how he wasn’t killed in battle.

We need your fervor as we need prayer.

Best of luck in that ongoing battle in the Argonne Forest – it appears to be a mighty battle, one of Biblical proportions. Let me know what you need, what ammunition you need, to continue the fight.

Love you brother, Godspeed

[IMA-HelenT]

Thank you for being there with the doctors in this good fight @tommywalkshills

Grace and peace to you all. I watched the Webinar 9-25-2025 From Stage 4 cancer to remission: the power of integrative oncology. In that talk, there is discussion of a group called Astron health from the UK that takes molecular test data and does research/analysis and generates a personalized report to help target one’s specific type of cancer being expressed, etc. On the Astron web site other videos talk about working with an integrative oncologist, and Dr. Charles Meakin/Meakin Metabolic Care is part of some of those video conversations.

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of Astron and or Dr. Meakin, or perhaps know of someone that has used their care plan/services etc? Would anyone have any thoughts on if their services are too costly, etc?

Does anyone know of any other groups that are doing very similar work to theirs?

Would so appreciate any thoughts. Am on the hunt for more precision oncology/integrative onc resources to help my patients who are members/pts at our large Christian non-profit DPC group; many with no insurance. Shalom, JA

@shetav that’s a great question. Thank you. And lovely to hear about the organization you work with.

[David Wegener]

I may have missed a comparative reference somewhere, but have a quick question on curcumin/nanocurcumin.

The cancer guide obviously has curcumin as a strong alternative choice.

Does any of the team have thoughts comparing typical nanocurcumin to BCM95?

(BCM95 is a proprietary, patented process claiming 5-7x bioavailability)

Thanks for any feedback.

And thanks for your dedication to this work. I have a family member and friend who are both alive today because of your making the guide available.

[IMA-HelenT]

Have passed your question on to one of the researchers, Thanks @thatechguy
