What if a breast cancer diagnosis is rarely the emergency it feels like, and the time you take next matters most? In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Dr. Véronique Desaulniers, founder of Breast Cancer Conqueror and the 7 Essentials System, who has healed from breast cancer twice. She shares why her cancer came back nine years later, how RGCC testing and DNA-based nutrition take the guesswork out of care, and why no woman should go through this alone. If you or someone you love is facing breast cancer, start here.

Which peptides belong in a cancer protocol, and which ones should wait? On Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K talks with Dr. Tracey Stroup, a naturopathic doctor who created the Quarterbacking Cancer program, about the three peptides she leans on most: a microdosed GLP-1, KPV and thymosin alpha-1. She explains why GLP-1 side effects come down to dosing, how KPV calms gut inflammation during chemo, and why she holds off on BPC-157 and TB-500 with an active tumor. If you're weighing peptides during cancer care, start here. Key Takeaways: Peptide trifecta for cancer: a GLP-1, KPV and thymosin alpha-1GLP-1 microdosing: why side effects come from overdosing, not the peptideKPV for gut inflammation and barrier support during chemotherapyThymosin alpha-1: her top pick if a cancer patient can only afford oneBPC-157 and TB-500: why she avoids them with an active or hot tumor Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902 Resources: Dr. Tracey Stroup - https://traceystroupnd.com Quarterbacking Cancer - https://quarterbackingcancer.buzzsprout.com Annie Appleseed Project - https://annieappleseedproject.org  Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

What happens when the surgeon who has spent his career saving other people's lives finally has to save his own? In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Dr. James C. Wittig, a nationally recognized orthopedic oncologist and sarcoma surgeon and the Founder and CEO of Mandala Medical Group, with roughly 10,000 procedures behind him. He explains why sarcoma in kids and teens so often gets dismissed as a sports injury or growing pains, and how limb-sparing surgery became the standard for most patients. Then he gets personal: thirty years of five-hour nights and eighty-hour weeks that ended in kidney failure and three stents. That experience is why he now brings hypnosis, meditation, neurofeedback and root cause testing like fasting insulin into cancer care. If you or someone you love is facing cancer, this conversation shows what whole-person care can look like from a surgeon who has been on both sides of it. Key Takeaways: Why sarcoma in children and teens gets missed as a sports injury or growing painsHow chemotherapy response predicts osteosarcoma survivalA sarcoma surgeon's wake-up call: 80-hour weeks, kidney failure and three stentsHypnosis, meditation and neurofeedback for stress and immune health during cancer treatmentFasting insulin, gut health and sugar as root causes in cancer careSchedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902 Resources: Resources Mentioned: Mandala Medical Group - https://www.mandalamedicalgroup.com/  Dr. James C.

What if the last piece of your cancer won't go away because it isn't physical at all? In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Dr. Dana Flavin, a pharmacologist, toxicologist, biochemist and physician with 58 semesters of training behind her and more than 30 years of treating cancer patients around the world. Dana never set out to treat anyone. That changed in 1992, when friends in Ireland asked her to help a woman with advanced cervical cancer, no money and no insurance. Six months later the tumor was gone, and Dana has spent the decades since mapping how foods, nutrients, repurposed drugs and emotions each act on cancer biochemistry. She explains why a single-target drug so often stops working, and how shiitake and maitake mushrooms knock down the same immune-suppressing cells as cimetidine. She covers why a low-methionine, low-sugar, plant-based diet matters, and shares a stage 4 prostate cancer case where PSA dropped from 5,000 to 24.4 in 10 weeks. She also tells the story of a breast cancer patient whose last bit of tumor only cleared after she learned to love herself. If you or someone you love is fighting cancer, or working hard to keep it from coming back, this conversation gives you a lot to take to your care team. Key Takeaways: Why combination cancer therapy works when single-target drugs lead to resistance, from a colon cancer case with liver, lung and lymph metastasesHow shiitake and maitake mushrooms and cimetidine lower myeloid-derived suppressor cells so the immune system can recoverA plant-based, low-methionine, low-sugar diet for cancer, plus cherries, raspberries and organic foodOff-label drugs in a stage 4 prostate cancer case: PSA from 5,000 to 24.4 in 10 weeks with itraconazole, ivermectin, mebendazole and low dose naltrexoneEmotional healing, forgiveness and staying in remission, and why unresolved hurt can bring cancer back Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902 Resources: CollMed (Dr. Dana Flavin's foundation and book donations) - https://collmed.org/  Consultations with Dr. Dana Flavin - https://collmed.org/consultations/ Answers to Cancers (Dr. Flavin's upcoming book)  Dr. Joe Dispenza - https://drjoedispenza.com/  Biogeometry by Dr. Ibrahim Karim Magnetism and Its Effects on the Living System by Albert Roy Davis and Walter C.

What if a blue-green algae could help your cells fight cancer the same way your own immune system does? In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K talks with Catharine Arnston, PhD, founder of ENERGYbits and author of the upcoming book Love Your Health to Bits with Algae. Catharine has spent years researching spirulina and chlorella, and she walks through why she sees cancer as a metabolic disease, one driven by damaged mitochondria, acidic cells, and the glucose that feeds tumor growth, a process known as the Warburg effect. She breaks down how superoxide dismutase protects your mitochondria from free radical damage, how chlorella clears the toxins that block your cell receptors, and how the blue pigment in spirulina called phycocyanin can trigger cancer cells to self-destruct while leaving healthy cells alone. If you or someone you love is trying to prevent, treat, or recover from cancer, this conversation gives you nutritional tools you can start using today. Key Takeaways: Why cancer is increasingly understood as a metabolic disease driven by the Warburg effect and glucose-fueled cell growthHow spirulina's superoxide dismutase (SOD) content protects mitochondria from free radical damage as natural SOD levels decline with ageChlorella's detoxifying effect on cell receptors, and why clearing out cell-blocking toxins matters for nutrient absorptionPhycocyanin, the blue pigment unique to spirulina, and its documented anti-angiogenesis effect and role in triggering apoptosis in cancer cellsWhy cutting simple sugars and carbs and increasing movement lowers the glucose available to feed cancer cells, tracked through the glucose ketone index (GKI) Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902 Resources: ENERGYbits - https://energybits.com (use code ICS for 20% off)  Love Your Health to Bits with Algae (Catharine Arnston's book, releasing February 2027) - https://energybits.com/pages/book-page?srsltid=AfmBOor5uNjCFGbYu2Pv3yVHIfuJviolpRaJgslOJLXRo1N8Wh8GtDce Dr. Thomas Seyfried's research on cancer as a metabolic disease  Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

A top pathologist looked at Elina Fuhrman's cancer diagnosis and gave her four words that had nothing to do with a treatment plan: change your life. In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Elina Fuhrman, a former CNN journalist and founder of Soupalina, to talk about the breast cancer diagnosis that upended a life she thought was already good. Elina found a lump in the shower at 40, was told in the middle of her own biopsy that it didn't look good, and within days was facing pressure to schedule surgery the next morning. Looking for a second opinion, she found something she wasn't expecting: a pathologist who told her the numbers on her chart were only half the story.This conversation covers why Elina chose a lumpectomy, stopped radiation partway through, and refused chemotherapy altogether, and the years of digging that followed to find what she calls her own tipping point: toxic burden, unresolved trauma, and years of running on three hours of sleep a night. She explains how that search became Soupalina, first a set of healing soups she made for her own recovery, and now a service where she spends days inside a client's home turning it into what she calls a healing sanctuary. If you or someone you love is trying to figure out what actually needs to change after a cancer diagnosis, this episode is a place to start. Key Takeaways: 0:00 Introduction 3:44 Escaping the Soviet Union with only $61 and no plan 11:00 Finding a lump in the shower and knowing immediately 13:00 Told "it's not looking good at all" during her own biopsy 19:00 A top pathologist's real answer: change your life 21:45 The hidden causes behind her cancer: toxic burden, trauma and three hours of sleep a night 25:51 Turning a client's home into a healing sanctuary 30:16 Lumpectomy, stopping radiation halfway through and refusing chemo  Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902 Resources: Soupelina - https://soupelina.com  Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

Did you know only one type of doctor is legally allowed to treat your cancer, and everyone else is working around a loophole to help you anyway? In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Robert Carrillo, chief safety officer at CancerDoctor.com, to unpack what most patients never learn about how the cancer care system actually works. Robert explains why oncologists are bound by NCCN guidelines and insurance rules that leave little room for anything outside conventional chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, and why that leaves patients to build their own care team if they want more options on the table. The conversation covers how to vet an integrative provider, why you need to take personal ownership of your own medical records, and why the "tool bag" available to integrative doctors is more than ten times the size of what conventional oncology alone can offer. If you or someone you love is facing a cancer diagnosis and trying to figure out who to trust and what questions to ask, this episode is a practical roadmap. Key Takeaways: 0:00 Introduction 1:04 A cancer diagnosis in the family sparks a search for real answers 6:00 Doctors work in probabilities and ranges, not certainties 14:21 The legal loophole behind who can actually treat your cancer 19:10 Why your oncologist cannot discuss options outside standard of care 24:48 Cancer is over 100 diseases, and subspecialties matter 28:00 The integrative tool bag holds over 20 options conventional care does not 31:02 Why the best outcomes come from combining both worlds  Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902 Resources: Cancer Doctor - https://www.cancerdoctor.com/ National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) - https://www.nccn.org/  Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

What if everything men are told about a prostate cancer diagnosis, biopsy first, surgery next, is built on evidence that was never actually there? In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Dr. Stephen Petteruti, board certified family physician and author of Fight Cancer Like a Man, to break down the 2023 New England Journal of Medicine study that found no survival difference between surgery, radiation, and doing nothing at all for early stage prostate cancer. Dr. Petteruti explains why he stopped recommending biopsies, how a needle can spread the very cancer it's meant to detect, and why watching PSA and MRI trends over time is often safer than rushing into treatment. He also covers the overlooked role of testosterone in prostate cancer care, including bipolar androgen therapy, and makes the case for tracking the disease like a chronic condition instead of chasing a cure that costs a man his vitality. If you or someone you love is facing a prostate cancer diagnosis, or just navigating an elevated PSA, this conversation lays out the questions worth asking before agreeing to anything. Key Takeaways: 0:00 Introduction 2:33 The prostate trial that shattered the surgery-first model 5:19 Why a biopsy can spread the very cancer it's meant to find 8:23 Castration's hidden cost on testosterone and quality of life 17:12 Tracking prostate cancer with MRI and PSA instead of biopsy 21:58 Repurposed drugs and why DIY protocols backfire 38:10 BAM therapy: using testosterone as a weapon against advanced cancer  Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902 Resources: Fight Cancer Like a Man (book) - https://www.intellectualmedicine.com/dr-stephen-petteruti-books Intellectual Medicine, Dr. Petteruti's practice - https://www.intellectualmedicine.com/ The Prostate Protocol - https://assets.ctfassets.net/psmhuxrqomif/4iFYGN6rh0cloFTQyxdit9/a2c3e8e20e335df0ad22f70ca0e0af48/the-prostate-protocol-pdf.pdf ProtecT Trial, New England Journal of Medicine, 2023 - https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2214122 Johns Hopkins Bipolar Androgen Therapy Research - https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/articles/2023/12/bipolar-androgen-therapy-trials-under-way  Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
