  • Too many interruptions

    The guests on this show are world renowned experts and I want to hear what they have to say but Dr Mitchell interrupts SO MUCH it is hard to listen. Also the editing for commercials is jarring. It’s like you’re listening to something really interesting and then the ad just cuts in and it takes a second for the listener to realize that it’s shifted to an ad. So the podcast, while there’s some really valuable information, it’s hard to get through because Dr Mitchell won’t let his experts get a ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 240 - Diagnosed With 12 Months to Live, He Reversed a Terminal Cancer Prognosis With an Alkaline Diet
Q: Can you take us back to the moment when you were diagnosed and describe what happened next?
The guest describes a two-phase journey: the initial cancer diagnosis and radiotherapy, followed by a terminal relapse. He explains how the prognosis shifted him from feeling powerless to actively seeking alternatives and embracing lifestyle changes as part of an integrative approach.
Ep. 237 - Why Radioactive Cancer Treatment May Be Gentler Than Chemotherapy
Q: What resources exist for patients to learn about radiopharmaceutical options and trials at Brookhaven or elsewhere?
Patients can consult foundations and professional society resources (e.g., Oncidium Foundation, Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging), and search clinicaltrials.gov or society-specific trial finders to identify eligible trials in their area.
Ep. 237 - Why Radioactive Cancer Treatment May Be Gentler Than Chemotherapy
Q: How is this approach integrated with other cancer treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy?
Radioisotope therapies are typically considered after assessing disease spread and patient condition. They can complement or, in some cases, replace parts of the standard regimen, be used in conjunction with other therapies, and are progressing toward earlier use as part of precision medicine.
Ep. 237 - Why Radioactive Cancer Treatment May Be Gentler Than Chemotherapy
Q: Why is nuclear medicine useful for cancer compared to traditional imaging or therapy?
Nuclear medicine provides functional information about how a tumor is behaving and can target cancer cells with specialized radiopharmaceuticals. This allows early detection, monitoring of response to treatment, and delivery of targeted therapy with shorter half-lives, reducing long-term toxicity.
Ep. 237 - Why Radioactive Cancer Treatment May Be Gentler Than Chemotherapy
Q: What is a radioisotope and how does it work in medicine?
A radioisotope is a radioactive form of an element that can be attached to molecules to form radiopharmaceuticals. When injected or administered, these compounds travel to specific tissues or tumors, and the emitted radiation either images the area (diagnostic use) or damages cancer cells (therapeutic use) while ideally sparing healthy tissue.
