We have to change. Okay. Um because we are not creating healthy people is the bottom line and we should be for all the information and knowledge. There's 1.2 million PubMed articles per year. Can you imagine the things we don't know that we're not doing? Even you and me. Welcome to Health Breakthroughs with Dr. Stangler. I'm Dr. from Mark Stangler and each episode we cut through the noise to bring you practical sciencebacked insights for more energy, better health, and a life that feels like yours again. Hey everybody, so excited to be with you. I have a good friend of mine, Dr. Connealy, very well regarded in integrative medicine, uh, holistic ways to approach cancer. She's very unique in that way. And so we're going to hear more from her on her background, how she deals with digestive health related to the immune system cancer, and then some of her unique uh cancer therapy she offers at her clinic and uh the cancer center for healing. Very unique here in Southern California. And so Dr. Connealy, great to be with you. Wonderful to be here to share this experience and let everyone know all of this great knowledge that you and I can impart. You've got a very unique background. You're a medical doctor, but you did all the extra training in integrative medicine and then you did even more training in integrative approaches to cancer. So tell us more about your background if you would. Right. Well, it actually started, you know, a long time ago and my mother was pregnant with me. I'm number three of six children and she started bleeding and back in the 50s um they used a medication called dees ditobestrol and that drug was to prevent the miscarriage and stop the bleeding. So, I'm a teenager. My parents get a letter stating you were given a drug dees. And so, you need to go to a cancer institution close to your home because that drug caused cancer in both male and female offspring, hormone problems, anatomical infertility, etc. And so, I started going to MD Anderson and getting all the workups of everything when I was a teenager. And so that led me down a completely different path. I never had two periods in a row. So I had like had to learn how to control cycles because you didn't feel good if you didn't have a menstrual cycle. And so my journey kind of I always wanted to be a doctor when I was a teenager and then and I worked for an ER I was a babysitter for an ER doctor and I'm like, "Oh, I can do this." And then my whole journey has been is how not to get cancer. And because of the other problems I had along the way from the dees, I learned a whole lot of other things. First of all, I became an expert in hormones because I had hormonal problems. And then now I'm in menopause. So you learn even no another dimension. And then I had infertility and that was a whole another dimension. And then I had scoliosis. And I tried every modality on the planet before I had surgery four years ago. So, you know, every and I did I would say everything unconventional and yes, some of it was conventional, but I always tried to analyze and go down all the rabbit holes of I had gone to conventional doctors, I'll be honest, and and they like, you know, one gave me birth control pills because I never had a period. Well, you know, we all know now that birth control pills come with hazards and you better you tell the patients about the hazards and then you need to counterbalance the hazards, right? And then when I was I delivered twins 29 years ago, I went into something called Shien syndrome where the pituitary goes into shock. And I went to so many doctors and the endocrin I went to endocrinologists and they all look at me like deer in the headlights. And so because of that I had to you know of course understand everything about the pituitary the hormone production pregnancy and what can you know I had a complicated delivery and so that created so when you have your problems you know it makes you become an expert and so you don't become an expert by just living a life of nothingness. Okay, I hate to say you become an expert because you've had a curveball or a detour in your life. That's really what makes you like think and start living very consciously. So, here we are now and I started years ago. I had this friend of mine who was an oncologist and I loved him because he was so good and I said, "Would you be interested in developing an integrative oncology program?" He said, "Sure." So we went to go visit a clinic in Mexico and he and he loved it and so we started Oasis of Hope in United States years ago. And so anyway, that started out and then Oasis of Hope felt like, okay, the patients really only want to be seen in the United States, so we need to separate. So that's what we did nicely because, you know, it was just the right thing to do anyway. And so we started the cancer center for healing. And so and because now in this day and time, you know, you didn't see cancer 20 years ago. Now like the rates now are about one in two people and they expect to have two million cases this year. and you know over you know unfortunately you know you hear about a plane crash forever and you hear about a shooting but you don't hear about this 1,600 people you know who die a day of cancer and so we need to really educate informate for patients because med medicine the paradigm of medicine has reached its point of no return and we practice is the best of conventional medicine. That might be blood work and scans and the history and physical and the whole entire workup and our history and physical is very different than a conventional doctor because we go back from in uterero what happened and uh because we all know we we not only inherit your eye color, skin color but we inherit emotional you know intelligence. So, so and then but our treatments, you know, and some patients may need surgery, some patients may need chemotherapy and so they might need a smart drug, you know, uh they might do, but that's not all you have to address. When you address a patient, you need to have a holistic approach, meaning the entire mind, body, and spirit involved and looking at everything. And that's where conventional medicine doesn't look as how does someone live every day. Okay? Because what you eat and your lifestyle is going to determine your health. And so doctors uh it was so interesting. I had a patient yesterday and she had done with a naturopath a microbiome test and her conventional she went to her conventional college. She and he just blew her off and I'm like what? I mean, how much is talked about the microbiome? I mean, there's volumes. We have libraries, buildings on the microbiome. And the microbiome is, you know, 75% of your immunity. So, I don't understand how an MD can, you know, basically say that doesn't matter. I mean, how how that that's like impossible in the 2024. So it's very sad that we have a disconnect because doctors more than ever whether they're MDs, naturopaths, we need to cooperate and collaborate for the best avenue for the patient and because we know none of us know everything but somebody might know this and somebody everybody can you know put all the pieces together and we shouldn't be discounting we should go look up things first before we discount the patient because then what happened is that has an impact on the patient. The patient doesn't like that. They don't like that. They just disregard that what you eat. You know that my patients tell me that the doctors say, "Well, does it matter what you eat?" No, it doesn't matter. You can eat anything you want. Well, there is no book that says you can eat anything you want. Even cooking books don't say you can eat anything you want. Right? So, so it there's just so much. So, patients are not trusting now of the whole medical system. And you know, I kind of agree even though I'm a conventional doctor, I just believe that we have to use the the the science and information that we've learned now in a conventional way, which is wonderful because look at scanning is incredible. like new breast imaging is incredible. You know, uh that we do have life-saving treatments, but for chronic conditions, which is about 90% of the profession, you know, it's it's there's not a lot of answers. And if you look at the health of the United States, autism's one in 37, maybe even less. Elementary kids, 60% have one or more chronic problems. Our teenagers have the highest rate of anxiety, depression, and suicide. And 30 year olds were getting cancer. So obviously our medical system is not working for us because what we know in 2024, people should be healthy and a Navy Seal. So they should be and smart because the amount of knowledge we have today is unbelievable. Okay. So everybody should be intelligent and healthy and physically capable because look at the Olympics. Okay, now we're not Olympians, but what what I'm saying is we still can be functional, you know, you know, physical beings, okay? And so it's it's really sad that the medical system is missing out, but I do know that our young patients, but I'm so excited about it is our young patients are so into transforming the future of healthcare and humanity and I love it. So that's why I work every day because you and me together and all the people that are, you know, thinking like this, they are going to change the future. And so and we've got to we have to do it now. I've been saying we're in a 911 for probably 10 years, but we're beyond the 911 now. We are, okay? And we can allow this to happen. In fact, you know, everybody's talking about cancer and young people today, and I read from Dr. NG a lady doctor from Harvard she goes these these two young people they've been exposed to something or multiple exposures so that is what's causing the increased rate of cancer in young people and so like okay yeah it's called the exposome right you know we know that we're all you know your body keeps score of everything you know so so it you know people like and why aren't why aren't all the doctors taking a stand saying wait stop we need to do something right why aren't we why aren't we all I mean I am you are but why aren't more physicians if they see this alarming rate why aren't we saying okay well we've got to look at this we've got to look at everything we got to collaborate and say we got to stop this we've done everything you were told to do and something still feels off health breakthroughs with Dr. Stangler. We go beyond symptom management to explore integrative sciencebacked approaches to the issues that medicine too often overlooks. Chronic fatigue, brain fog, gut dysfunction, inflammation, hormone imbalance, and healthy aging. If you're ready for real answers and practical tools to support your health naturally, follow health breakthroughs with Dr. Stangler on Dr. Talks or wherever you listen to podcasts. Right. And that's what you do. You work at root causes. Of course, you and I, we work, we look at many different levels of root causes, diet and stress and sleep and toxin exposure and hormone balance and all these things, but give us your insight on the connection to the digestive system and whole health, you know, the whole health of the body and then of course get into the immune system and and cancer and all that if you would. Right. Well, your digestive system is everything. So, if you don't have a stomach, are you going to live? No. you're going to be dead within four weeks, right? Because what does your stomach do? It produces hydrochloric acid and enzymes and pepsin to absorb and digest all your nutrients. And one of the most important things is making sure that your entire digestive system, so you know, your digestive system starts with your mouth, with how you chew your food, right? And then if you don't chew your when you chew your food, it allows it to be absorbed in its smallest form. So the better you chew your food. So anybody that has digestive issues, I tell them you need to chew your food like 30 times every bite, which takes you a long time, which is good because then it allows for the whole digestive system to work and to have satiety also. But we all just inhale our food, right? And so instead of taking our time and enjoying the food that's going to nourish and strengthen our body. So we have enzymes in our mouth that help digest the foods. Then it passes down the esophagus which is the tube going into your stomach and then as I said stomach makes hydrochloric acid and I did a lot of hydrochloric acid studies. I used to use the H Highleberg machine and this was a machine that would actually detect the hydrochloric acid and almost it's so interesting almost everyone had low hydrochloric even if they were 25 and I think with the incredible stress and probably EMFs you know we're shutting down our hydrochloric acid production and then if you're 60 years and older about 50% of those patients have a bug called H. pylori and doctors don't even think about checking for that bug. And so, so your stomach has this beautiful paristoic action and has the hydrochloric acid and pepsin and everything to turn everything into soup and then it goes into the small intestines. Small intestines makes more enzymes and then your liver, your gallbladder and pancreas all beautifully chime in for the other aspects of digestion until it goes into the large intestines which a whole bunch of other processes take place and you have the pyrus patches that align the the intestines which is your immune system and you're now that we know about the microbiome which there's the mouth microbiome the skin one, but we have the intestinal one. And there's more research done every every single day on the microbiome. I mean, it's just every day new stuff comes up and everything affects our microbiome from the food we eat and the quality of food. So, if you eat boxed fast food, you're not going to have a good microbiome. Okay? And then you've got to eat the food that nourishes and strengthens your microbiome. So that's 75% of the immune system is in your microbiome. So you know the food you eat, the toxins. Then you know you have to look at parasites and candida. And I would say most patients have candida and parasites. And the average doctor doesn't look at that. For example, cancer patients over 60% of patients have yeast. And then if you do surgery and chemo, what do you do? to grow and proliferate the yeast. Well, then how are you going to get rid of cancer if you have a constant in production of yeast? So, you got to address that at the same time you address the cancer. Okay. And then parasites, you know, people think in the United States that you don't get parasites. Well, you know, we Yes, we do. You know, we do. In fact, in in in the India, they deworm their population twice a year. naturally deworm. That's why their cancer incidence is lower than ours because they deworm their entire population twice a year. And so, so the microbiome is it's its own universe. I would tell everyone to really understand your microbiome because and love it and nourish it and because you know we know the studies show that like if you take antibiotics which people pop all the time they you know destroy their microbiome. So doctors don't say no you after you take this antibiotic that you may need okay or an acute situation not be careful though you know if you have a virus don't take an antibiotic you're wasting your microbiome and doctors give antibiotics all the time for things okay thinking like you go in I know patients will go in for something oh well let's just try antibiotics and see if it goes away I'm like no we can't do that we have to make sure you have an infection Okay. And so uh but every time you take antibiotics, you cause mitochondrial damage and your gut is directly related to your mitochondria. So if you don't have a good gut, you don't have a good immune system and you're not going to have good mitochondria. And I think there was a paper out about if he took 60 days of antibiotic, you know, really destroyed the brain. So, so you know we we've got to understand the ramifications. If we have to give somebody something, how do we counterbalance that infliction to the patient? Okay. And because our job is to protect and to inform and to educate the patient. You know, hypocrisy says first do no harm. So we we pay we pay you know we doctors have to take that role very seriously because the patients are counting on our discernment and our intelligence and our understanding of what is the best thing for our patients and and our system is not doing that unfortunately and so that's why doctors need to become educated and and know like you know as much as they can know and not discard another doctor's opinion, right? I mean, God knows we could look learn all of us learn things. So, so the microbiome is is critical. What you eat is critical. How you think is critical because how you're thinking also affects the microbiome. And so so we just really um need to nourish the microbiome in all the ways possible by reducing stress, by eating the foods, doing the fiber, supplementing with uh like butyrate if the patients need that. Do they you know what bugs do they have? Get rid of the bugs that are interfering with the proper functioning of our microbiome. and uh you know you know fecal transplants you know now they're FDA approved for claustrdium deficio now and they have oral fecal transplant pills now that patients may need which you know there's no downside to getting a good donor microbiome and so you know it's interesting I had an interview with the company that makes the veal transplant and I said I started asking them all these questions how do you screen your donor do they take medicines do they you know all these things and the doctors the the the person from the company's like well I've never been asked these questions and I'm like well we know if you get a transplant like if you get a heart transplant you take on the donor's existence okay emotionally and physically so why aren't you screening the donors properly so anyway you know so these are the kind of things and how difficult is it to do you know, you're charging $10,000. Like, how difficult is it is to do this basic thing? Wouldn't you want to know that the patient is healthy, that they are, you know, mentally and emotionally stable, they're physically active, and they, you know, aren't on any medicines or any other external things that could be affecting their microbiome, right? So, absolutely. And also, you've seen a literature and it's not surprising. And you get a lot of cancer patients obviously and so tons of literature now showing out how radiation therapy, chemotherapy leads to leaky gut, dispiosis. How do you help these people? One of the things you're addressing right away to help them? Well, well, one of the things that I like to do is first of all, I I want to any cancer patient, I want to clean them up. Okay? So whether that's purification, is it getting rid of yeast and parasites. We're big on that, okay? Huge on that. Uh because you've got to get rid of the junk. And then I prefer, and I said this five years ago, is that I think every cancer patient should have some kind of feal transplant. And so the expensive ones I only use for like really, really, really, really serious things and that people can afford, but I use an oral feal transplant pill. Okay. But you go, you don't do that in the beginning. You do that after you've gotten rid of the garbage. Okay? Uh because there's no sense in putting omething great and good in someone who hasn't done their, you know, cleanup. Okay? So, so that's, you know, what I prefer to do. That's pretty cutting edge. I don't see other integrative cancer clinics doing that. That seems very cutting edge, right? what we're seeing that if you even if you do a ve transplant that you already see eradication of disease so so you know they're doing this all over the world all right but US is as you know a little slow to you know to adapt these things and so but we all like if you understand that 75% % of your 80% of your immune system is in your gut. You better get that ready because if you're going to do anything, it's injurious and imunosuppressive, right? Surgery is injurious. A biopsy is injurious imunosuppressive. A surgery is injurious, imunosuppressive. Chemotherapy and radiation are injurious and imunosuppressive. So you should be protecting them. So I protect the patient. If they need a biopsy, I do the whole protocol. If they need surgery, if they do chemo, here is your counterbalancing that you have to do. So, and that's not doctors aren't doing that, you know, at all. And it's it's it's sad because like we know like that these things matter, right? So, a doctors, you know, they're overworked. They are a slave to the EMR. the EMR. The doctor spends probably 75% of his clinical time on the EMR. Well, that's the electronic medical record. So, you know, years ago, we didn't have that. Okay. Only laugh because my wife and I talk about this all the time. She practices with me and like I see her in the morning, she's on AMR. I go to bed at night, she's on EMR. I'm like, this is this getting a little crazy here. Yeah, it's getting crazy. And so so the the doctors you know you know they have clinical time very little clinical time to see the patient to talk to the patient to you know really understand what's going on and so so it's it's so medicine is all about like what you put in your chart you're not it's not about care and so so you know it's it so that's why you're not getting care. Yeah. And I would say the number one thing my patients talk about with other physicians is one, they treat them and talk to them with doom and gloom. Well, we know if we do that that totally affects the patient. So, it's very important how a physician talks to a patient and talk about possibilities, not that you're going to die. Okay. Number two is when they bring up things like what they eat or anything, you know, and the doctor denounces their thoughts and makes them feel like what they're saying doesn't matter. And so you you know that doesn't create a partnership and foster healing. All right? So, so and then you know if you look at their medical records all they've done in blood work is a chemistry and a CBC not all the other things that matter like C reactive protein and iron and feritin and vitamin D and hemoglobin A1 and C and DH you know all these other things because you know the miracle that we live in is is infinitely complex and complicated and so we've got to understand every single thing that's going on with that patient from how they live to their you know biochemistry to their bioenergetics and their bioysicality. So so we address every single facet of that person when we see a patient. I mean there isn't there isn't anything unless I don't know it yet and that we're on the constant quest of of of information and intelligence and because you know something new comes out all the time, right? Yeah. And so um so that's how we address a patient from every angle possible and and you've got to address the bioeotional. So um because you know you become what you think about most of the time and so and if you have outrageous stress which almost everybody has and has had but you've got to reprogram that stress to a favorable electromagnetic frequency in your body. And that's another thing that doctors don't ever address is they never talk to the patient about their teeth, about their stress, about their sleep, their water, their eating, their entire, you know, lifestyle. And so, but that's all important, right? Yeah. And so, every physician be should be doing this. So you know we we we have to we have to change okay um because we are not creating healthy people is bottom line one and we should do for all the information and knowledge. There's 1.2 million PubMed articles per year. Can you imagine the things we don't know that we're not doing? Even you and me, right? And so we've got to, you know, you always think like I always will like, okay, let me look up there's a study on X and sure enough, oh my god, there's a study on something you thought there would not be a study on. Right. So, and I'm talking more about, you know, natural substances. Yeah. And so, but there's as many information, scientific articles on natural substances as there are on medicine or stress if you look at stress and how that affects the body. So, so we need to really address every single facet and that takes time. And you know, a lot of patients think there's something easy, quick, fast, but there's nothing easy, quick, fast. Okay? And I always use the analogy of remodeling the house. Okay? When you remodel a house, how long does it take? Usually a couple of years. All right? Well, a house is very easy. It's very easy. it's replaceable you know but remodeling the human you know being is takes time and you know cancer is about a 10year process from one cancer cell to tumor is 10 years so don't think surgery and chemo and radiation and a smart drug is going to unravel that 10year journey no we all have to the patient and the doctor must do the work to help that patient to the maximum potential. That's great. That's great advice. Now, you have a book I looked on Amazon still a bestseller, the cancer revolution, right? So, I think it's going strong still. Yes. I'm updating that book, Cancer Revolution, because as you know, knowledge, we have more advancement in knowledge. I've added more things to how we analyze. Hey everybody, I want to take just a quick moment and invite you to my website drstangler.com. Here we have the supplements that we've been using with our patients for many, many years. High quality and high potency supplements, very pure. So if you're looking for highquality supplements where you can notice a difference both in how you feel and on your lab tests, go to our website at drstangler.com. Tell us about some of the cutting edge things you do at the clinic for cancer. I mean, it doesn't have to be digest related because I've been to your center. Not only is it beautiful, but you guys are very cutting edge. It's very, you know, you just have a sense of peace when you're here, but it's very beautiful, too. I mean, it's it's it's a high-end, you know, looking comfortable clinic for sure. I always told people, hey, I thought my clinic was pretty nice until I walked into yours and I'm like, wow. So, tell us about some of these cutting edge things you're doing with the cancer patients and you know, how you're helping people. Okay. Well, first of all, like I said, we do a very comprehensive assessment. Okay, that's number that's number one because if we don't understand the patient, how are we going to change the patient? Okay, so we have a big understanding. Then my blood work is extensive. Then my treatments, okay, we do everything from very particular IVs. It could be IV vitamin C. It could be artisinate. Could be DCA. It could be kirkamin. It could be ender with riboflavin. So we use a Weber endo laser system. And um we use so the Weber indo laser it can be done topically. It can be intravenously. It could be in enter inter you know into the body. And so lasers you know are light. Okay different spectrums of light. And then you use photosynthesizing agents like kirkamin like ICG to or rioflavin as a color. So all these things will the light the the photosynthesizing agent activates the tissue and the light destroys it. For example viruses if you give IV into laser with riboflavin that destroys the viruses. For cancer it's kcamin and or ICG. And so then we always check the voltage of every patient. So if your cells don't have energy, then it can't take care of you. Okay. So what destroys your energy? Your thyroid is probably number one. Then if you have yeast, parasites, toxicity, scars, tattoos, and teeth, they will all interfere with your energy. So how are you going to get well if your cells don't and stay well if your cells don't have voltage. So we assess the voltage and then we uh you know correct the voltage with energy. Okay. Then uh we utilize hyperaric hyperbaric because we know the studies show that cancer is an anorobic situation. So many of the patients get either uh hyperbaric or IV ozone or Ibu. One of those things Ibu is is a a process of where take the blood and put it through a filtration system and then ozane ozone uh because ozone is phenomenal for you know super oxygen neutralizes viruses, bacteria and fungi. Then it helps the immune system. It neutralizes toxicity. So those are all you know wonderful benefits. Then we use PMF uh for any IV because that helps the permeability of the cell to take up whatever agents it is. Not to mention it's adding energy to the body. Then we do um uh all kinds of different energy treatments. We have biocharger because everything's about energy. biocharger. Then we always do a bioenergetic survey on patients. You have acupuncture points on your fingers and toes that uh relate to an organ in your body and you know acupuncture meridians have been around for a very long time. So I always tell patients energy precedes action. So you might have a clean scan but what's the bioenergetics of the patient? So we always look at the energy of the patient. And I talked about the voltage, but this is another way of looking at the acupuncture meridians. Then we will a lot of times we'll use repurposed drugs. Repurpose drugs. There's about 310 drugs that starve cancer. So we will put the patients if they have a real serious condition and we need every single thing in our armamentarium to you know get rid of it. So we will use repurposed drugs. So these are old drugs that have been around a very long time and have little or no side effects. So they might be antiparasitic drugs, it might be starving sugar, it might be you know starving glutamine, it might be all these different things that we utilize u for the patient and so because I like I said in in India they you know deworm their patients but those are anti-cancer drugs at the same time. And then uh let's see what else do we do. Obviously we do fractionated chemo which is lowd dose chemo. Patients may do way better on lowd dose chemo because what we do is we give the patient insulin and you know primes the cancer cell because cancer cells have sugar insulin receptor sites on their they're called insulin like growth factor and so that will prime the cancer cell to take in the chemo at a lower dose 10% 10 to 15% depending on the situation and so and then after that we give them IV the end laser we give that to activate those substances and you will usually use kirkamin kirkamin is anti-cancer anti-inflammatory etc and so we'll do that also and then the next day after the chemo we give our patients a special IV to purify their liver because we don't want their liver overloaded because then they don't feel good and so so we have this whole system in place to basically neutralizing the toxicity and enhancing the patient's ability to fight cancer. So, so and then we use a device called cellic to reverse the polarity. So, that was machine was invented long time ago by a scientist in England. And so, cancer cells have polarity and normal cells have normal polarity. So, polarity is the organization of tissues in your body. So, if it's disorganized, it's going to rotate clockwise. If it's disorganized polarity, it's going to counterclockwise. So, we use that device not only to reverse the polarity, but also like maybe their liver is not working as good, kidneys not working as good. We will use sound, frequency, and light which is emanated from the cell to help the body heal. You know, the old technique of hitting your body, right? It's been around for thousands of years. It's using obviously sound and your own energy to activate healing. So, so we have so many things to help the patient heal. And sometimes we use when we find the patient is low voltage, we use something called a biomodulator to activate the voltage of your body. So we use a lot of things to activate voltage because by the time the patient comes to us, they're like really not doing good, right? Yeah. And so because doctors don't address, you know, all the facets of the human system and so and you know, we're learning every day. Every day we're learning new things to help people. And then supplement wise, you know, again, PA cancer patients need very specific supplements to change the terrain in the garden that the cancer came in. So anyway, it's it's a constant discovery. Yes. And you guys do personalized medicine. So people come in, you spend a lot of time, you assess them lab tests or signs, symptoms or histories, and you're giving them programs specific to them, which is the best way to do medicine. So that's that's phenomenal, right? It's the preventive, proactive, precise, personalized approach to medicine. Yeah. Very good. Well, thank you so much for your time. I know you got to get the patients and I'm going to too, but I want to make sure the viewers have your website so they can get more information or contact your center if they need to. So, we have uh the and by by the way for the viewers, these these centers are right in the same building right beside each other. I've been to them. So, we have the cancer center for healing and the website is cancercenterforhealing.com. So pretty simple. Then we have the center for new medicine and that can be all the other conditions people experience, you know. Yeah. Human optimization to autoimmune to cardiovascular all that. Yes. Everything. That's right. And uh what's the best and then on Instagram Instagram my h my handle is D. So every day we're putting up new information for people, you know, thoughtprovoking informations for patients to help manage their lives.
