Hope Never Dies

Cancer is not only a disease of uncontrolled growth, it is also a disease of disrupted cellular energy and metabolism.

Cancer cells survive by rewiring how they produce and use energy, often operating under constant metabolic stress. These altered bioenergetic states help explain why cancers adapt, behave unpredictably, and resist treatment.

Studying cancer through this metabolic lens provides critical insight into treatment response and resistance - expanding how clinicians and researchers understand cancer beyond genetics alone.

Human tumor studies are rapidly changing the landscape of cancer treatment.

"We take the patient’s tumor from their surgery and test it for the drugs that are being considered. We don’t just give these drugs because they “might” work. We give these drugs because they “do” work, as confirmed in each patient’s cancer cells."

- Dr. Robert Nagourney of Nagourney Cancer Institute

Is every "complementary therapy" really the same? Of course not.

This article by Donnie Yance raises an important point: Grouping vastly different approaches into one category oversimplifies both the science and the conversation.

It's a thoughtful reminder that evidence deserves careful review and interpretation, especially when people's lives are involved.

We read with interest the study by Ayoade et al. examining the association between complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use and survival in breast cancer patients.

Every person's cancer journey is unique. Shouldn't their care reflect that fact?

In this episode of Hayley Weiss Dubin's The Cancer Liberation Project, Dr. Keith Block discusses personalized approaches to integrative cancer care and the importance of treating the whole person, not just the disease.

Whether you're a patient, caregiver or healthcare professional, this conversation offers plenty to think about. https://redcircle.com/shows/35a8f34b-49ea-46d9-9987-86798c9c4417/episodes/61dfa070-1ee8-4ec3-84ec-23b9b434f68d

When facing a cancer diagnosis, you will hear this phrase frequently.

It is critical to recognize that the Standard of Care is not the only legitimate -- or successful -- approach to your care.

When a reader says this book gave them both hope and resources, I know we accomplished what we set out to do.

Hope Never Dies is about more than encouragement. It introduces readers to integrative therapies, emerging research, and treatment approaches that may not always be considered part of standard care, helping them become more informed advocates for their own health.

Thank you, June, for your thoughtful review.

Could one of the oldest fermented foods also be one of the most fascinating?

Kefir has been enjoyed for centuries, but researchers continue to explore how its probiotics, bioactive compounds, and effects on the gut microbiome may support immune health and overall wellness.

In this article, Donnie Yance takes a closer look at the emerging science, practical tips for choosing kefir, and simple ways to incorporate it into your daily routine.

Kefir is a fermented beverage, usually made from dairy, that has beneficial health effects due to its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory
