Today on Integrative Cancer Solutions Dr. Karlfeldt is joined by Dr. Neal McKinney. Dr. McKinney is a distinguished naturopathic physician with a profound focus on integrative cancer care. With a robust academic background, including a degree in biosciences from Simon Fraser University and a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, Dr. McKinney has dedicated decades to understanding and treating cancer. His extensive career includes training in traditional Chinese medicine, years of hands-on cancer research, and the authorship of six textbooks on naturopathic oncology. Although he no longer practices, his current work is heavily focused on research, continuing to explore novel approaches to cancer treatment.

One of Dr. McKinney's most recent contributions to the field is his book, Unraveling Cancer's Web. In this book, he delves into the complexities of cancer metabolism, particularly the phenomenon known as the Warburg effect, where cancer cells prefer fermentation even in the presence of oxygen. He explains that this metabolic shift is driven by a series of epigenetic reprogramming events, immune system evasion, and the development of cancer cell "stemness," which allows them to resist conventional therapies. Through his research, Dr. McKinney has identified critical pathways and potential treatments that target these processes, providing new insights into the fight against cancer.

Dr. McKinney's work is driven by a deep curiosity and a desire to uncover the underlying mechanisms that cause cancer cells to become so resilient. His research has shown that despite the genetic diversity among different types of cancer, there are common threads in how these cells survive and thrive. By understanding these shared mechanisms, such as the role of hypoxia and mitochondrial damage, Dr. McKinney aims to develop more effective treatments that can be tailored to the specific needs of cancer patients. His ongoing research continues to push the boundaries of what is known about cancer, offering hope for new therapeutic approaches in the future.

• Dr. Neal McKinney, a seasoned naturopathic physician, has dedicated his career to understanding and treating cancer through integrative and alternative medicine.
• His research focuses on the metabolic processes and genetic reprogramming that drive cancer, particularly the shift towards fermentation even in oxygen-rich environments.
• McKinney's latest book, Unraveling Cancer's Web, explores the complexities of cancer biology and offers insights into novel treatment approaches.
• He emphasizes the importance of understanding the interconnectedness of various cancer processes, including immune suppression, metabolic changes, and the development of stem cell-like properties in cancer cells.

Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment. Other people have been where you are right now and have already done the research for you. Listen to their stories and journeys and apply what they learned to achieve similar outcomes as they have, cancer remission and an even more fullness of life than before the diagnosis. Guests will discuss what therapies, supplements, and practitioners they relied on to beat cancer. Once diagnosed, time is of the essence. This podcast will dramatically reduce your learning curve as you search for your own solution to cancer.
