Patients who consult me are typically aware that my specialty is not confined to a specific field within medicine; rather, it encompasses General Internal Medicine and Integrative Medicine. Despite this, I consistently see cancer patients seeking second opinions, who are interested in Acupuncture Meridian Assessment (AMA) to determine potential problems. I always emphasize that I am not an oncologist—I do not specifically treat cancer, but rather, I treat the whole patient.
Over the past two years, I have seen several cases of advanced-stage Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). Three of these patients, from Michigan, Washington, and Canada, agreed to extract their teeth. They are still surviving against all odds. Here is a summary of their stories, which I am presenting at a cancer talk at IGMEDT in Vienna on June 14th, 2024.
Their common denominators included dental problems and parasite and fungal infections. Each patient extracted their problematic teeth, took cycles of antiparasitic and antifungal medications, and had insulin potentiation therapy (IPT), along with IV UV/Ozone, IV vitamin C, and chelation if indicated. While the shared diagnosis is Glioblastoma Multiforme, each patient exhibits a unique meridian frequency pattern. Medication testing was conducted to see which medications were indicated for each patient, AMA was repeated at each visit to monitor progress and adjust additional treatment.
One case involves a 46-year-old Canadian patient who was first diagnosed with glioblastoma in 2022. Following a resection of the frontal lobe, chemotherapy, and radiation, the tumor initially shrank. However, it returned in 2023. When I first saw her in April 2023, she had difficulty speaking and displayed a flat affect with no facial expressions, though she was able to understand and respond with nods. At that time, 13 out of 40 meridians were out of balance.
A significant step in her treatment was the extraction of an infected baby tooth. One year later, she exhibited normal spontaneous expressions, and her speech was articulated. There were no midline shifts in her brain, and all 40 meridians were balanced. She provided me with an old MRI from 2023 and a new one from May 2024 for comparison; it showed a dramatic shrinking of her brain tumor.
From my perspective, the most crucial step was the extraction of her infected baby tooth, which appeared to be normal on a dental X-ray. This dental infection had been a constant source of infection and inflammation near the brain for many years. Without a biological dentist willing to extract the tooth, her chances of overcoming this deadly brain tumor would have been slim.
Now more than ever, we need biological dentists for all chronically ill patients: those with cancer, Lyme disease, autoimmune problems, and neurodegenerative diseases. Choosing a biological dentist is like choosing between a red pill or a blue pill—you don’t know what you’re getting into. I recommend contacting IAOMT or IABDM for a referral to a local biological dentist. Choose your dentist wisely. Biological dentistry is an integral part of oncology care.
