Cancer Prevention and Treatment – OHR #471

Optimum health report: time to start taking your life back!

On December 23, 1971, President Richard Nixon sat down to sign the National Cancer Act, and launched the war on cancer. He said; ”more people each year die of cancer in the United States than all of the Americans who lost their lives in World War II. This shows us what is at stake. It tells us why I sent a message to the Congress the first of this year, which provided for a national commitment for the conquest of cancer, to attempt to find a cure”.

Now, more than 40 years after the “war” was declared on cancer, the National Cancer Institute has spent well over $90 billion on research and treatment and still 23% of the adult US population will die of the disease. This has not appreciably changed since that time.

The strategy of killing cancer with chemotherapy, surgery and radiation has remained the same. Newer technologies with check point inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies are being used, but overall those results have also been disappointing. Very high cost and improved lifespan measured in only months is the rule.  Unfortunately, attention to nutrition, immune boosting, and supplementation have been shunned by the cancer establishment.

Cancer is mostly an environmental disease, not a genetic one. Without attention to environmental toxicity the rates of cancer will never go down. There is no magic panacea cure. A cell becomes cancerous because it is toxic or infected. Usually both.

If you don’t have cancer and want to avoid it, ridding the body of metals, parasites, funguses, and improving immunity and nutrition, exercise and attention to sleep is the only solution.

At LifeWorks, we specialize in treating cancer and in its prevention.

We offer the most comprehensive programs in the world.

Have a great week and have a happy and healthy new year.

Dr David I Minkoff, MD

“After 2 years of chasing symptoms, and seeing multiple doctors and specialists, I was finally given the most cruel death sentence of ALS by a neurologist and this got confirmed by another neurologist. I got worse by the day and eventually had to get a feeding tube as I wasn’t able to absorb food without spending hours over a toilet coughing up phlegm and food.
Eventually we found Dr. Minkoff and made an appointment to see him on the 4th of January 2016. By the time I got here, I couldn’t even stand up without losing breath and had to be carted around in a wheelchair. I felt so bad that I thought I might die soon or hospitalized and not be able to get back to Canada.
After thorough testing, I was diagnosed to have Lyme disease as well as parasites and bacterial infection as well as many other debilitating factors. I began treatment the following day after seeing Dr. Minkoff and within 2 weeks, started feeling better. Each week after that, my health improved in leaps and bounds and 5 weeks into the treatment and supplements, I was now able to walk and stand up for minutes without losing breath. My voice started to return as I was able to say a few words and be understood. I am now able to eat again pureed food with small portions of meat and drink fluids.
I’m no longer fearing death and feel fantastic in comparison to when I got here. I’m totally confident that I will recover to full health by continuing the supplements and treatment.
I want to thank Dr. Minkoff and his staff for saving my life. There are no words that can describe how grateful I am.” – Luc

About Dr. David Minkoff, Medical Director

Dr. David Minkoff graduated from the University of Wisconsin Medical School in 1974 and was elected to the “Phi Beta Kappa” of medical schools, the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha Honors Medical Fraternity for very high academic achievement. He then completed both a Pediatric Residency and a Fellowship in Infectious Disease at the University of California at San Diego. He worked at the University of California and Children’s Hospitals in San Diego as an attending physician in infectious disease while conducting original research on Ribaviron, a broad spectrum anti-viral agent to fight disease. He also co-directed a neo-natal intensive care unit and worked in emergency medicine. In 1992, Dr. Minkoff’s wife Sue, a Registered Nurse, became interested in nutrition and health and began to go to lectures from some of the experts in the field. At the time, Dr. Minkoff was pretty fixed in his view of traditional medicine and it took a lot of convincing to get him to come to one of these lectures. After hearing Dr. Jeffrey Bland speak, Dr. Minkoff had a eureka moment and began pursuing the alternative field with a vengeance. Based on this new knowledge Dr. Minkoff and his wife set up a small clinic in 1997 to help some friends with their medical problems. What began as an experiment blossomed into Lifeworks Wellness Center, one of the most successful clinics for complementary medicine in the United States. In the process, he gained expertise in Biological medicine, integrative oncology, heavy metal detoxification, anti-aging medicine, hormone replacement therapy, functional medicine, energy medicine, neural and prolotherapy, homeopathy, and optimum nutrition. He studied under the masters in each of these disciplines until he became an expert in his own right. Dr. Minkoff is one of the most in-demand speakers in the field and wrote an Amazon best-selling book called The Search For The Perfect Protein. The demand for the products and protocols he discovered became a catalyst for founding BodyHealth.Com, a nutrition company that now manufactures and distributes cutting-edge nutritional solutions for the many health problems of today. Dr. Minkoff writes two free online newsletters, “The Optimum Health Report” and ”The BodyHealth Fitness Newsletter”, to help others learn about optimum health and fitness. Dr. Minkoff is an avid athlete himself and has completed 43 Ironman Triathlons. To keep his fitness maximal, he lives the lifestyle he teaches to others and tries to set an example for others, so they can enjoy a life free of pain and full of energy.
