Today on Integrative Cancer Solution Dr. Karlfeldt is joined by Dr. Andre Williams as he shares his journey from when he started in medical oncology and hematology, fields he seemed destined to succeed given his academic achievements and early recognition, including an award from the American Society of Clinical Oncology. However, despite the accolades and opportunities, he grew increasingly disillusioned with the impact he was making, particularly in his home country of Jamaica. Many patients could not afford or trust the chemotherapy treatments they prescribed, leaving Dr. Williams feeling like he was offering a solution that was both financially and emotionally taxing for patients, with questionable outcomes. This realization made him question the conventional path he was on, sparking an internal conflict about whether they were truly helping people in the best way.
The doctor faced a challenging decision early in their career, choosing to stop administering chemotherapy directly in order to focus on supporting patients who had either refused chemotherapy or were not eligible for it. To maintain transparency, they sent letters to their oncology colleagues asking to only refer patients in such situations, though the response was limited. This decision led to difficult conversations with patients who presented with conditions that urgently required chemotherapy or surgery, despite their reluctance, as the doctor felt a responsibility to direct them toward the best possible treatment options.
Dr. Williams also shared a poignant experience about a patient with a large breast tumor who initially resisted chemotherapy due to personal turmoil. After advising the patient to leave her abusive relationship, she returned a changed person, ready to undergo treatment, which underscored the importance of addressing underlying life stressors for effective healing. The story highlighted his belief that true healing requires a holistic approach, one that not only treats the body but also brings the patient's life into balance to support recovery.
The shift in treatment strategy involved halting the automatic administration of chemotherapy, allowing for more personalized patient care where only those who either opted out or were ineligible for the treatment would be considered. Despite facing opposition, the focus remained on providing tailored recommendations that balanced patient preferences with medical responsibility, ensuring the best course of action for each individual.

Brad Pitzele joins Dr. Karlfeldt today on Integrative Cancer Solution to discuss his journey into understanding the critical role of oxygen in health. This journey began when both he and his daughter were diagnosed with arthritis, eventually leading to autoimmune challenges and a cancer diagnosis for Brad. After being prescribed medications that elevated his risk for cancer, Brad developed malignant melanoma. Realizing that he needed an alternative to manage his conditions without exacerbating his health issues, Brad embarked on a quest for non-invasive treatments. In 2017, his diagnosis of Lyme disease intensified his symptoms, prompting his doctor to recommend hyperbaric oxygen therapy or Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT). Faced with the high cost and logistical challenges of hyperbaric treatments, Brad instead decided to explore EWOT.
EWOT, which involves performing cardiovascular exercise while breathing concentrated oxygen, appealed to Brad as a more feasible and affordable alternative. Utilizing his background in mechanical engineering, he created his own EWOT system, and the results were remarkable. Brad's health improved significantly, prompting his doctor to inquire about the system. This interaction sparked the birth of Brad's company, 1000 Roads, which aims to democratize oxygen therapy by making it accessible and affordable for people dealing with chronic illnesses. Brad's mission was born out of gratitude and a desire to offer others a way to manage their conditions without the prohibitive costs typically associated with such treatments.
Oxygen's relationship with cancer is well-documented, with research tracing back to the 1920s Nobel Prize winner Otto Warburg, who established the connection between hypoxia (low oxygen) and cancer development. Brad has deepened his understanding of this connection, recognizing that oxygen not only strengthens the immune system but also creates an environment where cancer cells struggle to survive. His personal experience, coupled with scientific research, underscores the transformative potential of oxygen therapy, particularly in the fight against inflammation and cancer. Through 1000 Roads, Brad is working to provide this life-changing solution to many more individuals who are battling chronic conditions.

On the podcast Integrative Cancer Solution with Dr. Karlfeldt, Dr. Sharon Stills shares valuable insights on hormone health, particularly in women undergoing menopause, and its implications for cancer. Dr. Stills highlights the common fear among women that bioidentical hormones might increase their risk of cancer, especially when there's a family history of the disease. However, she emphasizes that this fear often stems from outdated studies and misconceptions. In particular, she critiques the Women’s Health Initiative study from the early 2000s, which has been debunked but continues to shape fears around hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Dr. Stills believes that imbalances or a lack of proper hormone monitoring, rather than hormone therapy itself, can contribute to cancer risks. The conversation underscores the need for personalized, integrative care that looks beyond blanket assumptions about hormones and cancer.
In her practice, Dr. Stills routinely works with patients who have concerns about the safety of HRT. She explains that there are different types of estrogen (estrone, estradiol, and estriol), each with different effects on the body. She stresses the importance of balancing these estrogens and supporting the body through hormone replacement to reduce risks associated with deficiencies. Moreover, she notes that hormone blockers used in some cancer treatments, while sometimes necessary, often lead to significant side effects without addressing the root causes of cancer. Dr. Stills advocates for a holistic approach, considering not just hormone levels but also the entire body’s terrain, including liver function, adrenal health, and overall lifestyle.
Preventative medicine plays a crucial role in maintaining health, yet many patients don't seek help until their symptoms become severe, which is unfortunate, especially in the context of emotionally and hormonally sensitive diseases like breast and ovarian cancer. The body's stress response, largely regulated by the hypothalamus and pituitary, signals an imbalance in hormones, which can trigger a cascade of adverse health effects, including estrogen dominance and the proliferation of conditions such as fibroids and cancer, highlighting the importance of addressing both emotional and physical stressors early.
In today's world, stress is more than just emotional strain—it encompasses environmental factors like EMF pollution, poor posture, and chemical exposure from foods and personal habits. Chronic stress alters hormone production, lowering beneficial hormones like progesterone while raising harmful stress hormones, so managing stress through lifestyle changes, like improving posture, avoiding toxins, and fostering mental well-being through gratitude and purpose, becomes essential in achieving and maintaining optimal health.

Today on Integrative Cancer Solutions Dr. Karlfeldt's guest is Eliza Caplan. Eliza, growing up in a nature-loving, outdoorsy family with "hippy values," her words, she developed a deep connection to animals and the environment from an early age. This passion led her to become a vegetarian and later a vegan, driven by discomfort with factory farming and a desire to live as cleanly and kindly as possible. She raised her family with similar values, keeping chickens in the backyard for eggs when she introduced them back into her diet. Her journey toward health-conscious living expanded into other areas, like researching personal care products, which led to work with BeautyCounter, where she educated others on choosing safe and environmentally friendly products for nearly eight years.
However, a few years ago, she started experiencing unusual physical symptoms while exercising, which she initially dismissed as dehydration or overexertion. But as these tingling sensations in her limbs persisted, she decided to seek medical advice, given her family history with neurological conditions like ALS, which her mother had suffered from. After consulting with a neurologist and undergoing an MRI, Eliza was diagnosed with an oligodendroglioma brain tumor. Although this type of tumor is the slowest-growing among gliomas, she was still confronted with the reality of having brain cancer, a term that initially took her breath away as Eliza tried to balance protecting her kids from the weight of the diagnosis while coming to terms with it herself.
Faced with this life-altering diagnosis, Eliza dove deep into research on both conventional and integrative cancer treatments, determined to fight it with a holistic approach. Surgery was the first step, during which doctors performed a craniotomy to remove as much of the tumor as possible. While the surgery was physically taxing, her recovery included walking, physical therapy, and even swimming to regain strength. Following surgery, she underwent 30 days of radiation and 10 months of chemotherapy. Despite the emotional and physical challenges, she integrated healthy practices into her routine—walking, a clean diet, intermittent fasting, and supplements from her integrative oncologist—determined to manage the cancer while maintaining a balanced, toxin-free lifestyle.
