EP 19 : with Al Danenberg

[00:01:21] Yeah, but I actually did I still do consultations all over the world, so I do consultations with the gut healthy effects on oral health. And now that I've had this new challenge with cancer, I've been consulting with a number of people that have malignancies. So I'm still working but not seeing patients clinically. [00:01:41][19.4][00:05:04] What is going on? Because in an ecologist, they do a whole bunch of other tests, a lot of different chemistry, blood work for four malignancies. A biopsy of this soft tissue mass as a PET scan turns out that I am diagnosed with IJI, a cap of light chain multiple myeloma with innumerable Lytic lesions throughout my skeleton, meaning I have holes everywhere my but my heart tissue of the skeleton. And that's what was happening. I was having pathological fractures that I had no idea I was having and then he gave me three to six months to live if I did nothing to hunt it out. [00:05:48][43.9][00:09:38] Absolutely, and and a reduction in the quality of my life, which is the only thing that really mattered to me, and I'm 73 years old, I was 71 years old when I had this diagnosis and I wasn't ready to die. But if I had to die, that would be fine as long as I felt good and then drop dead. You know, that's that's my goal at that point. One year later, I'm standing in my bathroom. I know that my bones are fragile because I've had all these pathological fractures, but I'm standing in my bathroom brushing and flossing my teeth, which I kind of know how to do pretty well. And and I'm standing there playing my dad on the floor and I twist 90 degrees to the left to throw my dental floss away. I don't pick up my feet. [00:10:23][44.9][00:14:45] And I feel great. I mean, I feel great, so this is where I am today, I have great energy. I am not in remission. I still have malignant plasma cells, but not as many as I had. I still have dysfunctional EGA antibodies that are produced by these malignant plasma cells. I can walk a mile a day, which I do outside. I do a modified sit push ups and squats in the house. I feel great and that's awesome. I don't know that I'll ever be in remission, but I'm hopefully if I say the way I am, I can live another 10, 20 years and maybe I'll call myself curable. I don't know. [00:15:26][41.8][00:20:37] I had no problem. No problem. I had no problem. Now, that's not chemotherapy. Interestingly, when you do immunotherapy, if you're a candidate, only 20 to 25 percent of people that do immunotherapy are successful. And there was a recently published Pay Oncology magazine a year or two ago that said that the people that are not successful with therapy generally have unhealthy guts. [00:21:08][30.7][00:22:05] Have you got heavy plants? I mean, heavy and fat, heavy in organs. So, you know, muscle meat is important, but that's not the critical muscle meat is important. Most people think about an animal based diet or on a diet. You're just eating steak all the time. Steak and eggs. And that's it. That would be an unhealthy diet, actually. Some muscle meat, of course, pastured muscle meat, but more saturated fats, organs and all the largeness material. You need to balance the proteins from collagen with the proteins and muscle fiber, because if you don't, it's just not a healthy diet for a variety of reasons.
