The number of new cancer cases in 2024 is projected to rise to more than 2 million, compared with 1.83 million in 2022. More younger people are being diagnosed with and dying from certain cancers, including colorectal cancer. From 2017 to 2021, the rate of these cancers rose by more than 3% per year among people younger than 50. This trend doesn’t include data beyond 2021 but is a dramatic increase over the last 30 years and we should expect further increases are likely. What is the cause? Some researchers focus on alcohol use but others, liked Dr Casey means, think the problem is much more than that, including the massive changes we’ve seen in daily life the last 50 years such as constant low level stress caused from cell phone use and the massive amounts of chemicals we have in our processed foods, not to mention the huge number of childhood vaccines compared to when I was a child. The news isn’t all bad as death rates due to cancer are declining, indicating early detection and better treatments being available are making a difference. One organization working diligently in that space is Cancer Doctor. CancerDoctor.com is an innovative platform designed to empower cancer patients by providing access to a comprehensive directory of certified doctors and treatment centers specializing in integrative and alternative cancer treatments. My guest today is Robert Carrillo. He is the Chief Safety Officer at Cancer Doctor. Robert is responsible for investigating and approving doctors and facilities.
