Episode Description:

If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, there’s a good chance someone has suggested curcumin — the active compound in turmeric — as a “natural” way to help. 

Here’s the problem. 

Curcumin is not harmless. It’s biologically active. And depending on your cancer type and treatment, it can either support therapy or actively undermine it. 

In our newest blog post and video, Dr. Chaplin explains why curcumin is one of the most misunderstood supplements in cancer treatment and complementary alternative medicine. 

You’ll learn:

• When curcumin can support chemotherapy — and when it interferes with cancer immunotherapy
• Why many curcumin supplements don’t work at all
• The real issue with piperine (black pepper extract) and liver damage
• Why formulation and timing matter as much as curcumin dosage 

This is not about “natural versus conventional.” It’s about biology, signaling pathways, and avoiding supplement conflicts that reduce treatment effectiveness.

Episode Description:

If you’ve spent any time online, you’ve probably seen it:

“Cancer is just parasites.”
“Doctors ignore it.”
“You can cure it with ivermectin or fenbendazole.”

These claims are confident, emotional — and deeply appealing when you’re navigating cancer. But confidence isn’t evidence.

In our newest blog post and video, Dr. Chaplin walks through a simple, powerful way to evaluate these claims.

We look at:

• Where parasites are most common — and where cancer rates are lowest
• Why ivermectin doesn’t behave like a cancer cure if cancer were parasitic
• How to separate partial truths from dangerous oversimplifications
• A practical framework for evaluating future cancer claims you’ll inevitably encounter

This isn’t about defending conventional medicine. It’s about giving you tools to protect your decision-making when misinformation spreads faster than facts.

Apigenin can wake up the immune system to reject cancer. It blocks the signals tumors use to hide.

--------------------------------------------
Episode Description:

Most people think of apigenin as something you get from chamomile tea to help you sleep.

That’s not wrong — but it’s wildly incomplete.

New research shows apigenin does far more than calm the brain. At the right dose, it can help the immune system recognize cancer cells, reduce immune suppression around tumors, and even support chemotherapy and radiation effectiveness — without increasing side effects.

But here’s the catch:
Tea isn’t enough. Dose matters. Timing matters. And in some cancers, how apigenin is used makes all the difference.

In our latest blog post, Dr. Chaplin breaks down:

• How apigenin supports immune surveillance
• Why it’s relevant to metastasis and recurrence
• When apigenin helps — and when it can backfire
• What cancer patients should discuss with their oncologist before using it

If you’re navigating cancer treatment and trying to separate useful tools from internet noise, this one’s worth your time.

Episode Description: 

Neuropathy during chemotherapy is one of the most common — and most misunderstood — side effects of cancer treatment.

Tingling, burning, numbness, pain… it can sneak up quickly or linger for years. And unfortunately, much of the advice patients are given treats all neuropathy as if it’s the same condition.

It’s not.

In our latest blog post, Dr. Jay Chaplin breaks down chemotherapy-induced neuropathy by drug type and mechanism — explaining what actually helps, what consistently fails, and what can quietly make symptoms worse.

You’ll learn:

• Why platinum and taxane drugs cause neuropathy differently
• When cold therapy helps — and when it backfires
• Which supplements have strong data, and which don’t
• Why “immune boosting” during chemo can be a problem

If you or someone you care about is navigating chemotherapy side effects, this is one of those topics where the right information can make a real difference.

Episode Description:  

Many people going through chemotherapy take supplements hoping to reduce side effects, boost health, or support their cancer treatment. It feels like a natural step — vitamins and supplements are often seen as both harmless and universally beneficial.

But most of them don’t actually help.

In our latest blog post, Dr. Jay Chaplin explains why the majority of supplements taken during cancer treatment fail to provide real benefit — and why dose, regulation, and evidence matter far more than marketing claims.

You’ll learn:

• Why supplement labels rarely reflect effective doses
• How contaminants and weak regulation affect cancer patients
• Why taking many low-dose supplements often does nothing
• What actually makes a supplement useful during chemotherapy

This post isn’t anti-supplement — it’s about using them intelligently, safely, and in ways that actually support cancer treatment.

Episode Description: 

Every January, biotech companies flood the news cycle with bold claims, exciting headlines, and promises of cancer treatment breakthroughs. And at first glance, some of them sound incredible.  But when you look closely at the actual data, the story can change — sometimes dramatically.  In our newest blog post, Dr. Jay Chaplin breaks down the latest ImmunityBio updates, including for Anktiva, and explains why these clinical trial results deserve a much closer look. Not because the science lacks potential — quite the opposite — but because how a drug is tested and reported matters just as much as what it’s designed to do. 
This post walks through:
    • Why small trial sizes distort cancer immunotherapy results
    • How missing control groups make it impossible to know what’s really working
    • Why immune cell expansion doesn’t automatically mean tumor control
    • How hype-driven reporting can delay real progress for cancer patients
If you or someone you love is navigating cancer treatment, understanding how to separate solid science from marketing language is essential. This isn’t about tearing down innovation — it’s about protecting patients from confusion, false hope, and wasted time.

Episode Description:  

If you or someone you know is living with chronic hepatitis B, this update matters for you. 

Hepatitis B is the leading cause of liver cancer worldwide, responsible for more than half of all cases. Current treatments can suppress the virus, but they rarely eliminate it — leaving many people on lifelong therapy that causes immunosuppression & significant side effects or stay at a high risk for hepatocellular carcinoma. 

Our newest blog post explains an exciting breakthrough: a new drug from GSK called bepirovirsen that may offer something we’ve never had before — the possibility of long-term viral suppression after treatment stops. 

This approach could dramatically lower cancer risk, eliminate that immunosuppression, reduce cirrhosis and liver failure, and potentially change how chronic viral infections are treated in the future.

If hepatitis B has touched your life or that of someone you care about, this is information worth knowing and sharing.

Episode Description:  

Most cancer patients are told about mutations — but very few are told about the test that reveals how fast their cancer can adapt and become drug-resistant. 

We just published a new video explaining extrachromosomal DNA and the copy number test that shows whether a tumor is built to outrun treatment. 

This isn’t experimental, and it’s already included in most genomic tests — people just aren’t told what it means. 

If you’ve had genomic testing, this could completely change how your treatment should be planned.

If you or a loved one is about to have a biopsy or a tumor removed, there’s something important you should know before it happens.

In our latest blog and video, Dr. Jay Chaplin explains the two biomarker tests that can dramatically change which cancer treatments actually work for you — and you may not get them unless you ask for them specifically.

These tests help guide:

• chemotherapy choices
• targeted therapy options
• whether immunotherapy is an option
• and much more

They’re also especially important if a cancer has come back, because tumors can change over time.
