81: Immunotherapy for Cancer...Late to the Party!

Dr. Jack and Mary interrupt their normally-scheduled podcast this week to talk about recent stunning findings related to immunotherapy in our battle against cancer. That is to say, using one's own immune system to execute a more targeted fight against the cancerous tissues in one's body. The research goes back over 100 years, as physicians and researchers saw numerous infections actually lead to remissions of cancer in many patients over the years. It was never clear exactly what was occurring when remission took place. With the modern variation in this treatment, the side effects can be extremely difficult to manage, but as usual, proper nutritional support can make or break the efficacy of treatments such as this. Tune in to hear Dr. Jack and Mary discuss the details and the science of immunotherapeutic cancer treatment.
