Integrative Cancer Solutions with Dr. Karlfeldt

Michael Karlfeldt

Newly diagnosed with cancer and wondering how natural therapies can support your treatment?

Integrative Cancer Solutions with Dr. Michael Karlfeldt is a podcast on integrative oncology, natural cancer treatment, and holistic cancer care, helping patients and caregivers understand how evidence-based complementary therapies can work safely alongside chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.

What makes this show unique: you'll hear real patient consultations, not just expert theory. Each episode explores how integrative therapies, including high-dose vitamin C, mistletoe therapy, ozone therapy, nutritional support, and immune-boosting protocols, can help manage the most common side effects of cancer treatment: nausea, fatigue, neuropathy, weight loss, inflammation, and immune suppression.

Studies show that more than half of all cancer patients use some form of complementary medicine during treatment, yet most have no reliable guide for doing it safely and effectively. With over 35 years of clinical experience and as the founder of a leading naturopathic oncology center in Idaho, Dr. Karlfeldt brings real clinical insight to every episode, helping patients reduce their learning curve, improve quality of life, and support long-term healing and survivorship.

Chris Burres | C60 and Cancer: The Nobel Prize Molecule Your Doctor Never Mentioned
What if the same molecule that earned three scientists a Nobel Prize could also protect your healthy cells while cancer treatment targets the sick ones? In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Chris Burres, carbon nanomaterial engineer and co-founder of MyVitalC, to unpack the science behind ESS60, a purified form of the Nobel Prize winning C60 molecule. Chris walks through the peer reviewed research showing ESS60 extended lifespan in animal studies by 90 percent with zero tumor growth, and explains the Boss Theory, the idea that this molecule buffers oxidative stress inside the mitochondria, the same stress that drives inflammation, fatigue and cellular breakdown. The conversation covers what a selective antioxidant does differently during chemotherapy, why HSCRP, a key inflammation marker, matters for cancer patients, and the four clinical trials now underway, including one focused specifically on inflammation. If you are looking for research backed ways to support your mitochondria and lower oxidative stress during treatment or recovery, this episode lays out the science in plain language. Key Takeaways: 0:00 Introduction 2:06 How a Nobel Prize winning molecule became a daily supplement 8:07 Wistar rats lived 90% longer with zero tumors 9:52 ESS60 increases cancer cell death while protecting healthy cells 19:44 The Boss Theory: how ESS60 buffers oxidative stress in the mitochondria 28:43 Four clinical trials underway, from headaches to HSCRP 32:45 Safety, drug interactions and real world dosage 35:53 One drop, 400 times more molecules than cells in your body Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902 Resources: MyVitalC (Dr. K's audience link, biohacking guide + discount) - https://www.myvitalc.com/drk Live Longer and Better by Chris Burres - https://a.co/d/05Vn4h3H Operation Underground Railroad - https://www.ourrescue.org Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

Dr. Yi Song │ The Regeneration Effect: Stem Cells, TCM & the Root Cause of Cancer
What if cancer isn't just about mutated cells, but about a garden that's gone untended for years? In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Dr. Yi Song, a pathologist trained at Brown University who comes from generations of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, to talk about why she walked away from conventional cancer research and built a practice around treating the root cause instead of chasing symptoms. They cover why standard lab work often misses what's actually happening inside the body, the six principles behind her book The Regeneration Effect: Sacred Wisdom for Staying Young, and why she believes stem cell therapy works best as early prevention rather than a last resort. The conversation moves between hard science and ancient wisdom, from oxidative stress and DNA damage to meridians, natural rhythm, and the kidney's role as the body's energetic reserve. If you're curious about a different way to think about aging, chronic disease, and what healing actually requires, this one is worth the full listen. Key Takeaways: 0:00 Introduction 1:15 From generations of Chinese medicine to a pathology PhD at Brown 6:21 Why pathology treats symptoms instead of the root cause of cancer 9:49 What disease really means before your labs ever catch it 13:29 Western medicine digs the well after the fire has already started 22:05 The six principles behind The Regeneration Effect 35:22 Stem cells as firewood for your body's aging fire 38:21 Cancer as the best gift: your garden full of weeds Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902 Resources: The Regeneration Effect: Sacred Wisdom for Staying Young (pre-order) - https://book.regenerationeffect.com Free e-book, Tending Your Body Like a Garden - https://gift.regenerationeffect.com Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

Brett Aldrich | Ayurveda and Breathwork for Cancer Recovery: Healing Beyond Chemo
A cancer diagnosis doesn't end when treatment does. For many patients, the hardest part starts after chemo or radiation, when the immune system is depleted, digestion is disrupted, and no one is offering a roadmap for what comes next. In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Brett Aldrich, Ayurveda Counselor, Breathwork Practitioner, and founder of Seed the Spirit, to explore how a 5,000-year-old healing system fits alongside modern cancer care. Brett breaks down the five elements that shape your unique constitution, how Ayurveda defines disease long before a diagnosis appears, and why the doshas offer a completely different lens for understanding cancer itself. The conversation moves into practical tools you can actually use, marma point massage, Yoga Nidra, and breathwork, all designed to rebuild the immune and digestive systems while supporting emotional recovery. If you or someone you love is in treatment, in remission, or years past a diagnosis and still searching for what comes next, this episode offers grounded, non-prescriptive tools to work with, not against, your medical care. Key Takeaways: 0:00 Introduction 0:19 What Ayurvedic medicine actually is: the five elements and your constitution 4:49 How Ayurveda defines disease before it becomes a diagnosis 9:32 Reading the body through pulse, tongue, and skin 15:44 How cancer is understood in Ayurveda through the three doshas 22:44 Rebuilding immune strength with marma point massage and touch 26:39 Yoga Nidra and visualization as tools for healing 29:07 Breathwork: the simplest place to start Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902 Resources: Seed the Spirit - https://seedthespirit.com/workshops-classes/ Dr. Vasant Lad, Ayurvedic Physician and Author - https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/ Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

Dr. Jocelyn Strand | Beta-Glucan, Cancer & Your Immune System's Secret Weapon
Your immune system already knows how to find and destroy cancer cells. The question is whether it's been given what it needs to do the job. In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Dr. Jocelyn Strand to dig into one of the most underutilized tools in cancer support: beta-glucan. They break down how the immune system actually identifies and clears cancer, why your innate immunity is far more trainable than anyone told you in medical school, and how a specific molecule from yeast cell walls has receptors waiting for it on your immune cells by design. Dr. Strand walks through the science of trained immunity, epigenetic changes triggered at the cellular level, and why beta-glucan may double the effectiveness of immunotherapy in treatment-resistant patients. Whether you're in active treatment, in recovery, or simply trying to stay ahead of cancer, this conversation will change how you think about what your immune system is actually capable of. Key Takeaways: 0:00 Introduction 1:29 The immune system is your body's operating system, not just cold and flu defense 3:47 Innate vs. adaptive immunity and how cancer gets identified and cleared 7:09 We have receptors designed specifically for beta-glucan and that changes everything 9:08 Beta-glucan calls the immune system back to what it already knows how to do 13:24 The best doctor you have is already inside you 16:07 Chemo suppresses the immune system you need most for recovery and recurrence prevention 30:35 Beta-glucan doubles immunotherapy efficacy in treatment-resistant patients 37:33 12 weeks of beta-glucan reversed biological aging in 7 of 11 body systems Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902 Resources: Better Way Health 85 Beta-Glucan — https://secure.betterwayhealth.com/pages/mcf-500-af-sub-c?oid=7&affid=246 TruDiagnostic — https://www.trudiagnostic.com Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

Dr. William Nelson, NMD | Mistletoe, Hyperthermia & Naturopathic Cancer Care That Gets Results
What does it actually look like when a doctor refuses to give up on a patient, even when the statistics say there's nothing left to do? In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Dr. William Nelson, NMD, a naturopathic oncologist with nearly 30 years in practice, to walk through the tools and thinking behind some of his most remarkable patient outcomes. From a stage 4 colon cancer case with an inoperable tumor and mets to the liver and lung who now has no evidence of disease, to the science behind mistletoe fever induction and regional hyperthermia, this conversation goes deep into what integrative cancer care can do when it's done right. Dr. Nelson also breaks down the real difference between naturopathic medicine and functional medicine, why chemotherapy alone can never finish the job, and how he uses mistletoe not as a replacement for conventional care but as the immune reset that makes everything else work better. If you or someone you love is navigating a cancer diagnosis and wondering whether there's more to the picture than surgery, chemo, and radiation, this episode is worth your full attention. Key Takeaways: 0:00 Introduction 1:12 Naturopathic oncology treats the whole patient not just the tumor 6:06 Naturopathic medicine vs functional medicine 10:07 Why more supplements is not better in cancer care 13:00 Patients hiding integrative care from their oncologist 15:46 Stage 4 colon cancer with no evidence of disease 19:04 Mistletoe fever induction for advanced cancer 25:07 Hyperthermia delivers 1500% more chemo without more toxicity 29:44 Mistletoe as immune modulator not just cancer killer 33:11 How mistletoe teaches the immune system to recognize cancer 36:22 Mistletoe used safely alongside immunotherapy 38:48 Believe Big offers financial support for mistletoe treatment Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902 Resources: Believe Big — https://www.believebig.org Johns Hopkins Medicine — https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

Beau Barron │ Diagnosed with a 0.06% Cancer at 37 - Mandibular Osteosarcoma, Chemo & Rebuilding His Jaw
What does it look like to be diagnosed with one of the rarest cancers on earth - at 37, in your prime, with two young kids at home - and walk out the other side? In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Beau Barron, entrepreneur, former medical device professional, and mandibular osteosarcoma survivor, to trace the full arc of his diagnosis: five months of misdiagnosis, a biopsy he had to fight for, six brutal rounds of chemotherapy, and a 10-hour jaw reconstruction surgery using his own fibula. Beau also opens up about the functional medicine support that kept him training through chemo, the faith that kept him grounded, and why he now believes the diagnosis was the best thing that ever happened to him. Key Takeaways: 0:00 Introduction 4:02 From medical devices to cancer patient — Beau's background 5:20 Five months of misdiagnosis before anyone raised a red flag 12:26 Why mandibular osteosarcoma falls through the cracks 15:00 The bone biopsy he demanded that saved his life 17:57 Getting the diagnosis call mid-workday and going into action mode 29:00 Emory vs Mayo — navigating conflicting chemo recommendations 34:00 Working out through doxorubicin and ifosfamide 40:00 The 10-hour fibular flap reconstruction surgery 43:41 How cancer rewired his priorities as a father and husband Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902 Resources: Stat Wellness — https://www.statwellness.com Emory University Hospital — https://www.emoryhealthcare.org UAB Medicine — https://www.uabmedicine.org Mayo Clinic Arizona — https://www.mayoclinic.org/patient-visitor-guide/arizona Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

Teresa Reile │ Cervical Cancer, Cellular Hypoxia & Drinkable Oxygen Therapy That Changed Everything
What if the reason your cells are breaking down isn't a mystery - it's simply a lack of oxygen? In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Teresa Reile, cancer survivor, hypoxia specialist, and founder of Patriox Health Freedom, to share a story that goes far beyond a diagnosis. After surviving cervical cancer in 2012 while managing 48 companies and going through a divorce, Teresa discovered a decade later that the cancer had returned - silently. What she found in Hungary, a drinkable and bathable oxygen technology developed over 25 years, cleared her scan results in under three weeks. Now she's brought that technology to the United States. This conversation covers the real root cause most doctors never test for, why cellular hypoxia underlies nearly every chronic condition, how the HIF-1 alpha test can detect it before disease takes hold, and why oxygen may be the most overlooked nutrient in modern medicine. Key Takeaways: 0:00 Introduction 1:27 Running 48 companies, a divorce, and a cancer diagnosis 3:20 Getting the news and still making it to the wedding 5:08 What the medical system got wrong after surgery 10:28 When cancer came back a decade later 13:42 Cellular hypoxia and how it starts the disease process 28:23 Why cancer hates oxygen and what that means for treatment 37:30 Words of wisdom for high-achieving entrepreneurs Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902 Resources: Patriox Health Freedom — https://patriox.us/ Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

Brian Karr │ Is Mold Making You Sick? Hidden Exposure, the Dust Test & Smarter Remediation
What if the thing making you sick has been hiding inside your walls the entire time - and every inspector who walked through missed it? In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Brian Karr, mold investigator and founder of We Inspect, to break down why conventional mold inspections miss up to 90% of real problems, why air sampling is the wrong test for the job, and how a simple at-home dust test can tell you whether your home is actively driving what's happening in your body. Brian walks through the warning signs most people rationalize away, the two household patterns that almost always point to mold, and how his exposure mapping system helps people prioritize remediation without gutting their entire home. For anyone navigating a serious health condition, this conversation could be the missing piece nobody thought to look for. Key Takeaways: 0:00 Introduction 1:02 How a burst pipe and brain fog turned Brian into a mold investigator 6:42 Why symptoms look different in every person in the same house 8:22 Two household patterns that almost always signal a mold problem 12:35 Feeling better on vacation is not a coincidence 15:43 Dry mold is more dangerous than actively growing mold 17:55 Why a proper inspection takes 6 to 8 hours not 30 minutes 22:40 Air sampling misses problems 78% of the time 28:18 The at-home dust test and how it connects your labs to your home 33:59 How to prioritize remediation without tearing everything out 40:16 What you can clean versus what has to go Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902 Resources: We Inspect - https://www.yesweinspect.com Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

Debbie Heist Lambert | The Hidden Danger in MRI Contrast Dye: Gadolinium Toxicity, Symptoms & Detox
What if the contrast dye injected during your MRI scan never actually left your body and has been quietly causing damage ever since? In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Debbie Heist Lambert, patient advocate, co-author of Gadolinium Deposition and Toxicity: Humanizing a Life-Changing Event, and community leader of a 15,000-member gadolinium toxicity support group. After receiving four gadolinium-based contrast injections during MRI scans for pancreatitis, Debbie was forced into early retirement at 56 due to debilitating memory loss, dementia-like symptoms, and a body-wide cascade of new diagnoses — all traced back to a toxic rare earth metal that her doctors refused to discuss. This conversation is a wake-up call for anyone who has ever had an MRI with contrast — especially cancer patients and those with MS who undergo repeated imaging. Dr. K and Debbie break down what gadolinium actually does inside the body, why it competes with calcium at the cellular level, how it may be connected to calcifications in breast tissue, the difference between chelation strategies, and why 91% of patients in Debbie's group say they were never given informed consent before injection. Key Takeaways: 0:00 Introduction 1:40 Debbie's personal journey with gadolinium poisoning 6:48 Why "you just pee it out" is false 8:54 Small fiber neuropathy, mast cell activation, and cytokine storms 12:35 Cancer and MS patients unknowingly worsening their condition 16:44 Gadolinium competes with calcium and hides in the body permanently 19:49 How to test for gadolinium retention 24:07 Why gadolinium deposition disease still isn't officially recognized 27:23 Chelation, HOPO trials, and niacin sauna detox options 34:19 The full symptom burden across eight years 38:49 91% of patients never received informed consent Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902 Resources: Gadolinium Deposition and Toxicity: Humanizing a Life-Changing Event - https://a.co/d/02oEJsME Dr. Brent Wagner Gadolinium Research - https://hscnews.unm.edu/news/unm-scientists-discover-how-nanoparticles-of-toxic-metal-used-in-mri-scans-infiltrate-human-tissue Dr. Richard Semelka - https://www.richardsemelka.com FDA Gadolinium Medication Guides - https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2018/021489s006lbl.pdf HOPO Therapeutics - https://www.hopotx.com/ Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

Dr. Eugene Manley Jr. | Cancer's Hidden Biology and the Research Bias Failing Patients
What if the cancer therapies being developed today simply weren't designed for you? In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Dr. Eugene Manley Jr., molecular and cell biologist, cancer researcher, and founder of the SCHEQ Foundation, to unpack one of oncology's most overlooked problems: the systemic exclusion of diverse populations from the research that drives cancer care. Together, they explore the science of the tumor microenvironment, cancer stem cells, and why traditional chemotherapy often misses the mark. Dr. Manley also pulls back the curtain on a startling finding — that out of over 800 lung cancer cell lines studied, only 31 represented Black individuals — and what that means for the therapies being prescribed today. If you or someone you love is navigating cancer and wondering why the system feels like it wasn't built for you, this conversation is an important one. Key Takeaways: 0:00 Introduction 3:47 Tumor microenvironment and what drives cancer growth 7:04 Why a single biopsy can't capture the whole tumor 12:26 Cancer stem cells and chemotherapy resistance 18:00 Why women were excluded from biomedical research until 1993 20:00 The cell line diversity crisis and what it means for treatment 28:29 How the SCHEQ Foundation is closing the health equity gap 35:01 How to navigate a cancer diagnosis when the system fails you Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902.

Dr. Cara Fuhrman | What Your Mammogram Isn't Telling You — Breast Cancer Screening, QT Imaging & the Nutritarian Diet
What if the mammogram your doctor relies on is actually doing more harm than good, and a better option already exists? Dr. Cara Fuhrman, naturopathic doctor, Medical Director of Longevity RX, and daughter of nutritional science pioneer Dr. Joel Fuhrman, joins Integrative Cancer Solutions to break down the serious limitations of routine mammography, including staggering rates of overdiagnosis and overtreatment, and makes the case for QT Imaging as a radiation-free, far more accurate alternative. The conversation covers the three hormones silently fueling cancer growth, how everyday foods like white rice and animal protein accelerate tumor progression, and the anti-cancer power of cruciferous vegetables, flaxseeds, and raw garlic. If you want a more informed, proactive approach to breast cancer prevention, this episode delivers what your doctor may never tell you. Key Takeaways: 0:00 Introduction 0:32 Growing up with Dr. Joel Fuhrman and the nutritarian legacy 6:02 Layering herbs technology and nutrition to stop cancer 10:02 Mammogram overdiagnosis is harming more people than it helps 17:07 QT Imaging the radiation-free alternative to mammography 23:07 Why biopsies are overused and what to do instead 28:44 The three hormones silently fueling cancer growth 33:19 GBOMBS flaxseeds and garlic as everyday cancer medicine Resources: Dr. Cara’s Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drcarafuhrman/ Longevity RX -https://trylongevityrx.com/ Dr. Joel Fuhrman - https://www.drfuhrman.com Nordic Cochrane Centre - https://www.cochrane.org/ QT Imaging - https://www.qtimaging.com TerraSoul Superfoods - https://www.terrasoul.com Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.
