Video Transcript: Why Are Doctors Rushing Patients Into Conventional Cancer Treatments?

Ty Bollinger: I know there are a lot of people involved in cancer treatment, cancer research, myself included, who had some kind of a personal tragedy that got them involved in this line of research. What’s your story as far as why are you doing what you’re doing today? Treating cancer integratively.

Dr. Bita Badakhshan:  So I started as a conventional doctor. Finishing family practice  residency in New York and then moving back to California, I started  working on different urgent cares and for Kaiser as well. And then at  Kaiser and urgent care I would see cancer patients who were treating  themselves or living their life in an integrated way.

Like pancreatic cancer, late stage.  She said, “I was diagnosed a few years ago. I was told I’m going to die  in a few months, but it’s now almost three years I’ve been living doing  great.” And initially they would say − because they would see me as a  conventional doctor − they said, “I know you won’t believe in this  stuff.” I said, “No, I’m open to it, I’m very open to everything. I want  to learn. I’m eager to learn.” So much stuff out there that we could  learn and give better care to patients.

So anyways, to make a long  story short, I just kept seeing patients like that and I got guided  into that and then I started. And what hurt me was in Kaiser they would  get the diagnosis of cancer—they didn’t even have time to research.  Within a few days they had to do chemo, otherwise the doctors would tell them they’re going to die or it would spread everywhere.

So  they would come—one patient I had she had urinary infection and next  day she had to do chemo. I said, “No honey, you have to take care of  your kidneys first. It’s a urinary infection. Get rid of the bacteria  and then do your research. There’s no rush.” You don’t get cancer  overnight, cancer is a process of 10 years, 12 years. I mean within  eight years you get a tumor. Sometimes people don’t get diagnoses until  10, 12 years.

So, they kind of tend to scare the patient and they get worried. They don’t have time to research. Then they start the chemo.

Ty Bollinger: So it’s really almost a process of creating fear to get them on the treatments quickly.

Dr. Bita Badakhshan: Correct. Correct.Ty Bollinger: That would be considered your kind of “aha” moment where you realize what we’re doing—it’s not working here.

Dr. Bita Badakhshan: Exactly. It’s not working and we need to educate people. We need to tell them there’s other ways to go. Going with the conventional surgery, radiation, chemo is not the way to go.  There’s other ways you could do. And also you could do surgery, but no,  don’t rush into it. Improve the immune system, boost your body before  you do surgery because any cut, any kind of surgery in the body, it will  suppress the immune system and also it will attract all the good white  blood cells—all your good cells into that area, then what happens? All  those cancer cells that are already floating in your body they keep  growing.

Ty Bollinger: So the surgery is a really bad impact on the immune system. A drastic effect.

Dr. Bita Badakhshan:  It is, and sometimes we do have to do it and we do recommend it, but  before doing that you want to boost the immune system before doing any  kind of surgery.
