In this episode, Dr. John Oertle joins Dr. Michael Karlfeldt as he discusses the rising cancer rates in younger populations, particularly stomach and colorectal cancers. He attributes this trend to a variety of factors, including environmental toxins, nutrient deficiencies, and lifestyle stressors. Dr. Oertle emphasizes the importance of addressing the immune system's health for long-term cancer remission, and he highlights the limitations of standard cancer care and the need for precision medicine approaches. He also discusses the challenges in getting doctors to explore root causes and run comprehensive tests, as well as the role of patient advocacy and informed decision-making. The conversation covers advancements in personalized testing and data-driven cancer treatment, the impact of oncogenic infections like Lyme disease and HPV, and the success of Invita's comprehensive, personalized approach to cancer care.
