In this podcast, Dr. Lucas, an integrative oncologist, discusses his weekly routine of 24-hour fasting and the benefits it offers. He shares his journey into oncology after his then-girlfriend, now wife, was diagnosed with aggressive thyroid cancer during medical school. Disappointed with conventional cancer treatments, Dr. Lucas shifted his focus towards integrative and alternative therapies.
He elaborates on his frustration with the standardized, profit-driven approach of elite cancer centers, leading him to work at City of Hope and later, the Reardon Clinic, which aligned more with his vision of patient-centered care. Dr. Lucas emphasizes the importance of treating cancer from a holistic perspective, which includes investigating the root causes like toxins, infections, and inflammation. He discusses various alternative therapies such as IV vitamin C, mistletoe, fasting, and off-label drugs like metformin and ivermectin.
The podcast also showcases a miraculous case of a patient with stage four pancreatic cancer who underwent integrative treatments and has been cancer-free for four years. Dr. Lucas advocates for combining the best of conventional and holistic medicine to improve patient outcomes and focuses on testing, personalized treatment plans, and the role of diet and lifestyle in cancer prevention and treatment.
