Miraculous Cancer Recovery

Dr. Richard Powers: After three cycles of chemotherapy, halfway through her treatment, they went and did another PET scan. There was no evidence of cancer. 

Introduction to Dr. Richard Powers

Victor Dwyer: Hey, everyone! Welcome to today's episode of The Beljanski Cancer Talk Show. We are pleased to welcome back Dr. Richard Powers, a true pioneer in integrative medicine and one of the leading forces in redefining what health and wellness look like. Dr. Richard Powers is an innovator in integrative medicine. Putting together more than 2000 hours of training, he's considered the Doctor's Doctor, the one doctors go to when they need answers. Get ready to redefine wellness from the inside out.

Sylvie Beljanski: Hello, Dr. Powers and welcome back! I'm delighted to have you again on The Beljanski Cancer Talk show to speak about your practice and how you have incorporated the Beljanski products into your practice. 

Dr. Powers' Practice and Philosophy

Sylvie Beljanski: Let's tell a few words first about your practice.

You are an integrative doctor. Where are you located? 

Dr. Richard Powers: Yeah, I'm in Stuart, Florida. I'm in my 44th year of practicing holistic integrative medicine. My job is to help people learn how to get well and stay well.

Sylvie Beljanski: And, unfortunately, in your practice you see a lot of cancer patients. Is that right? More and more so because the number of cancer keeps rising. 

Challenges in Modern Health

Dr. Richard Powers: Yeah. What happened is each decade passed more, the sicker and sicker people. The people that had the more chronic degenerative conditions, the dementia, the cancers the autoimmune diseases, diabetes, all the really long-term chronic diseases, I started getting more and more of those. And then the last 10 years, it's pretty much the only people that I would see. If someone came to me for an appointment and they needed, I'm also a chiropractor, so if they needed chiropractic care, I'd refer 'em to a chiropractor.

I pigeonholed my own practice to take care of those people that are having trouble finding solutions. So that's, yeah, so cancer is certainly one of those for sure. 

Sylvie Beljanski: Cancer, autoimmune diseases has now become your specialty as an integrative doctor.

And I think that's very valuable because so many people now are fed up to be prescribed some antibiotic or products. One drug that is going to have so many side effects that, eventually, they will need a second drug to numb the side effects of the first one. And the real problem, the underlying problem has not been solved.

Holistic Approach to Wellness

Sylvie Beljanski: In your view, as an integrative doctor what is your approach? How would you, walk me through how you deal with a patient for the first time or what happens? 

Dr. Richard Powers: Yeah, so I definitely wanna connect with what's most important to them. Because, over the years I got wiser and wiser that, like in the beginning I thought I just had to learn how to fix everything, how to diagnose everything and fix everything.

Once I learned quite a bit in that department, I thought I was there and then I realized, no. The art of being a doctor is how to connect with and educate and guide according to what's most important to that person and how their brain thinks. I have lots of tools at my disposal to diagnose and lots of things in my treatment arsenal, but the most important thing is to connect mind to mind, connect heart to heart and find out what's in their mind, what are their struggles? What is it that they want? Obviously they wanna feel better, but, I let them talk and let them reveal to me what's most important to them and let them know that I understand what they've been through.

And then of course, to empathize about that. And then to share my paradigm, which they already understood quite a bit, that's why they made an appointment, but I made sure that they're clear. 

Impact of Lifestyle on Health

Dr. Richard Powers: That, really, what it boils down to is that we get sick because we're oftentimes, we're living inconsistent with our natural design, so we don't, and it's so easy to do that now in, in our 21st century.

It's so easy to not live the way our bodies were, were naturally designed. So, we eat food that's ultra processed. Our body's not naturally designed for that. We're exposed to an inordinate amount of chemicals that are all human synthesized, that the body wasn't designed really to be exposed to. In fact, a lot of those chemicals are called forever chemicals 'cause the body doesn't know how to break 'em down.

They stay inside and they pretty much get stored in fat cells, which is part of the reasons of the obesity epidemic is there's so much toxins in the environment. But anyway, the point is I give them the big picture before I dive into details, and the big picture is if you give your body more of what it wants and less of what it doesn't, then you'll get more of what you want and less of what you don't.

And then I let that sink in. I then give them some examples. I said it looks like you've been dealing with X, Y, Z for so long, and I noticed that you're eating this way. I also noticed, and let's face it, dietary habits have a lot to do with it, and chemical toxic exposure and sedentary lifestyles.

I always make up that picture where nowadays in the 21st century, you could sit on your couch. You don't have to literally move a finger. You could just say, “Hey Siri,” your phone answers, “Call the pizza parlor.” The pizza parlor answers. You say, “send me my normal order and don't even knock, just come on in and put it on my lap. Charge it on my card you have on file.” Yes, diet, exercise, and so many pieces and the chemicals are all big pieces. 

Mind-Body Connection

Dr. Richard Powers: But another big piece, in fact, I'd say the biggest piece, and these are big pieces that I've mentioned so far, but the biggest piece has to do with here and here.

There's so much. The way the world has evolved in our culture, there's not enough connection. And of course with the digital age and social media, it looks like there's more connection, but in a lot of ways there's less. And I think that has a huge impact on how we perceive and how we feel stress in our lives.

And there's a lot of fake connections, meaning that it's not really heartfelt and it gives you the illusion that they have friendships, but without those real in-person friendships, without the real connections I think that has a huge impact on how the body can handle our dietary habits and how it drives us to eat the way we eat.

It wants us to eat foods that make us feel better 'cause we don't feel so good and then we're tired so we don't feel like exercising, even though it's the best thing that we need. And then all that interrupts with our sleep habits. So we don't heal, repair, and detox. So it all rolls forward.

So I go over all this in a little video that I share with patients before I ever sit down with them so that by the time they sit with me, they know where we're coming from, where we're gonna be digging into, and then we go from there. And of course, the toolkit. It is gonna be diet and exercise pieces.

And I also teach them how to make it easier to adopt healthier diet, lifestyle habits, and healthier thinking. And give them tools and techniques and ways to incorporate that and lots of options. 'cause different people can do different things better than others. Other people, it's oh, I can go to bed earlier. Other people's that's not gonna happen. So I give people the big picture of what has to happen in that area. And then of course there's meeting their fundamental nutritional needs, which we can supplement. So I do testing to help identify where do they need some boning up in the nutrient department.

And then there's the natural medicine that helps to support the underlying mechanisms that are a problem. So the first layer of underlying mechanisms might be their gut health. It might be the oxidative stress from toxins in their environment and chemicals that just overloaded. It could be autonomic dysfunction.

You hear about vagal stimulators and the vagus and the autonomic nervous system. 

Integrative Cancer Treatment

Sylvie Beljanski: Yeah, so for people who have been diagnosed with a serious problem, is there an autoimmune disease or a cancer? They need, obviously, being listened to. They need some dietary guidance, but they need also actual serious treatment. What do you recommend generally to people who are suffering from cancer? 

Dr. Richard Powers: Yeah, so, the first thing I think about that I talk to them about, which is why I listen and connect in the beginning, especially with people with any chronic disease, but especially with cancer, is I think of Dr. Kelly Turner's book, Radical Remission, where she studied, hundreds of people that were diagnosed with terminal cancer and then sent home that a lot of 'em, most of 'em received conventional treatment and it failed. And it metastasized and they sent home to hook up with hospice and get their affairs in order, and then she found.. 

Sylvie Beljanski: Yeah, conventional treatments are chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery basically.

Dr. Richard Powers: Yeah. Kill, burn or poison that you're trying to, the whole idea with conventional therapy and there's a place for it for sure. It's to try and attack and kill this cancer cell, but it's not doing anything about what happened that our cells were able to turn uncontrollably into cancer cells, 'cause our cells are always, there's cells that are always turning at the cancer cells, but at a low rate. And our immune system identifies targets and takes them down.

What this woman found is there's certain things that were common of this, this group of this, hundreds and hundreds of people that had terminal cancer get sent home to die and they recovered and she interviewed these people to find out what are the common threads, what happened, and they all had to do with here and here.

Now, there was there, they all had some diet and lifestyle improvements. Obviously, that was important. And they took some supplements. But definitely was absolutely common among all the people that recovered, and this is without getting a lot of the really cool alternative integrative cancer therapies that are available or even about some of the things that I'm gonna talk about that I work with patients here in a few minutes.

This is just with some fundamental nutritional supplements, making some good diet and lifestyle changes. Processing grief, forgiving themselves, forgiving others, connecting and socializing and opening up their hearts more. Fundamentally, your immune system is directly impacted by the thoughts you think .Your nervous system, your brain is intrinsically connected to both your hormones as well as your immune system. We understand and we can hypothesize the mechanisms why these people recovered, but you at least gotta consider the part that the mind and unresolved healing and grief that happens between the ears as well as in the heart. So that's part of it as well. 

Sylvie Beljanski: Healing the mind and the heart sometimes take, it's a journey. It's a long process. It's not like a switch. You turn it on and off and on.

Dr. Richard Powers: That's the other thing, on and off and on. 

Sylvie Beljanski: Therefore that's why I think it is really important to have other tools that we will work at the cellular level to give you the time. You need to support your body. You need to support your healthy cells and your immune system during the time you are going to process the journey of making peace with yourself. And as you said so appropriately, forgive yourself for whatever made you sick in the first place. 

Dr. Richard Powers: Yes. And you made a good point. It's a journey. Cancer is something that doesn't, it happened. The average development of cancer journey is estimated to be at least three decades. And because it happens one step at a time and the healing happens one step at a time, but you're absolutely right.

What can we do to give someone more time? When you approach healing from as many angles as we can simultaneously, but not so much that it's overwhelming, I share different things and I look at the person in their eyes and I see what sticks, what's resonating,when do they start crying?

When do they start leaning forward and listening? And so I listen. Okay, so what is it that we can do with diet and lifestyle? What can we do up here with head and heart? What can we do with supplements? What can we do with adjunctive therapies? 

Case Study: Supporting Chemotherapy

Dr. Richard Powers: And circling to, one of the main things that I wanna make sure we have time to cover is when someone comes to me and they're already diagnosed with cancer and they've decided to get conventional treatment, radiation therapy, chemotherapy.

Which again, whether it's an immunotherapy, chemotherapy, or a more of a toxic chemical chemotherapy, it's all in the same category. They're trying different ways to kill cancer cells. And the problem, a couple of problems which you're well aware of, is that the traditional approaches to cancer, especially chemotherapy radiation therapy, the research shows that it has a lot of difficulty actually taking down the cancer stem cells, which is where the cancer cells can regrow all over again. It's like weeding your yard by trimming off the branches and the leaves of all the weeds, but leaving the roots so that then it grows back and you gotta keep weeding.

Now they don't come back. They have to get brand new seeds to do that. So, that's one of the reasons why there's such a recurrence rate with traditional therapies. So when someone comes to me, a case study is a patient that came to me, I actually discovered the cancer by doing some screening tests. A blood test called the Galleri Blood Test, which anyway, but it popped up as possibly she might have a lymphoma 'cause it identifies the type of cancer. And then I did some testing and then she went to MD Anderson and went to Moffitt in several clinics, got it confirmed.

They said that this will be responsive to chemotherapy, not radiation. That was the choice of conventional treatment. And I don't tell people what to do. First of all, it's not up to me. It's not even within my license. But I think what I do is I give them options. I give them perspective that maybe they wouldn't have otherwise, and then I let them, let them pick and decide. Usually it's a husband or wife or a child or whatever, but I let them decide what feels right. What do you feel most comfortable doing going forward? And this particular person decided to move forward with the chemotherapy. It was unanimous, Cleveland Clinic, Moffitt Center was the same chemo, the same protocol. They all agreed this is gonna, this is how to go. And i've done a lot of research over the years, so I know what I could support in that person to improve the outcomes and decrease the side effects of this treatment. Right?

Because these treatments are attacking healthy cells is as much as the cancer cells and part of what it…

Sylvie Beljanski: Yeah, a lot of immune cells and the gut lining are very much impacted by chemotherapy but, indeed, it kills cancer cells.

Dr. Richard Powers: So, it's killing cells that duplicate and replicate the most quickly.

So that's in your bone marrow, which is why platelets and white blood cell counts go down because they replicate quicker and they don't last as long, like red blood cells. Although there's some anemia that happens from the damage to the bone marrow, anemia is also a problem, but platelet counts drop 'cause platelets form from megakaryocytes that arise from bone marrow.

And white blood cells also arise from bone marrow. It kills the lining cells of your intestinal tract 'cause they replicate quickly. They only last several days, three, four days a week at the most. So those are very susceptible to the chemotherapy drugs and getting damaged, which is why they get nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hair falls out, right? Because hair is also some cells that replicate and make more follicle, the follicles make more hair. So, your hair falls out 'cause those are susceptible. But the bone marrow and this is a big problem. First of all, when you take down white blood cells, you, now this person that's, if you have cancer, you're already way outta balance.

There's lots of things that are wrong besides just the cancer. No one's healthy and has cancer. They have cancer, they have all the stress and the worry of the cancer. Then they get overloaded with all these toxins from the chemotherapy and then the bone marrow gets damaged. And so you can't make as many white blood cells.

So, now you're susceptible to infection. On top of everything else, and that's a problem. Now, there's a drug, there's a class of drugs called Granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSFs). And what that does is they help promote your body's ability to make certain types of white blood cells, but not all white blood cells, just the granular ones 

Sylvie Beljanski: Absolutely.

Dr. Richard Powers: So they can compensate somewhat for like bacterial infections, but not, they can't, it doesn't impact at all the lymphocytes, 'cause they're not granulocytes.

Anyway, they also don't have any drugs to help with the platelets that drop and platelets, platelets are not just really, obviously, if you don't have enough platelets, they're involved in clotting. So, if your platelet count gets too low, you could bleed to death very easily. So, if your platelet count drops below a hundred thousand or even 75,000 for sure then they gotta start thinking about stopping the chemotherapy until that recovers.

The Role of Supplements in Treatment

Dr. Richard Powers: So, here's the beautiful thing about Beljanski's products. So part of what I did is my protocol for this woman to co-care her while she's going through chemotherapy is I gave her OnKobel-Pro®, and I also gave her Immunobel-Pro®. So, Immunobel-Pro® as is that purified RNA fragments, it, they act as primers for DNA synthesis of both white blood cells and the platelets.

And of course, the chemotherapy is damaging this whole system. So, if you can replenish the body with more of these primers, then it would only make sense, and of course, your father Mirko, proved in his research that it would increase production of platelets and white blood cells. So, if you think about it, aside from the horrible experience of the side effects of chemotherapy, you see those pictures all the time, the vomiting, the nausea, the hair falling and you feel miserable, it's “Oh, no, chemotherapy!” And then halfway through going through this terrible process, their platelet count drops or maybe their white blood count drops or lymphocytes, but especially the platelet counts drop.

And now they gotta stop the treatment until it recovers and then they lose ground. Sometimes they gotta start over. Holy cow. How could that be worse? Wouldn't it be great if there was something that is completely safe, non-toxic that we can give people while they're going through these treatments that would help protect the platelet count so they don't bleed to death so they can continue their treatment, get her over with, and move on with their life.

Things that could help protect and preserve their lymphocyte count, which there's no drug for that. And, and of course, that's what Immunobel-Pro® and OnKobel-Pro® can help do. And let me give you some numbers. This was very, now this is, look, this is what they call an N of one. It's one person, but if it's one person, just really, it's just proof, it's more evidence that what your father found out to be true, I have more proof that it's all, it's definitely true what happened with my patient as well and I've been, this is just one case. 'cause I have numbers. 

Clinical Trial Success in Cancer Treatment

Sylvie Beljanski: Yeah. I actually, when it comes to, building up the number of platelets and maintaining the number of platelets, we had a clinical trial a few years ago at Cancer Treatment Centers of America with patients, there was 32 patients enrolled at the time. Different kind of cancer. Different all under chemotherapies, different kind of chemotherapies. And what they had in common was they were all at the verge of thrombocytopenia, which is a loss of platelets. Technically, they did not have it. They were expected to develop thrombocytopenia with the next rounds of chemotherapy, and none of the patients that enrolled into this clinical trial developed thrombocytopenia. They were all able to go all the way through their cycles of chemotherapy. None of them developed thrombocytopenia.

Their bone marrow was protected during the chemotherapy, so ended with a better level of platelets at the end of the treatments and at the beginning of the treatments after we had stopped giving them the RNA fragments because it was kind of food for the bone marrow. 

Dr. Richard Powers: Yeah. 

Nutritional Support for Bone Marrow During Chemotherapy

Sylvie Beljanski: You were mentioning my father. He wondered how the bone marrow is creating platelets and it is using the nutrients that, of course, it gets from assimilation through the gut, but when you take chemotherapy, the gut lining is damaged. So, this, it's a way to give directly under the tongue so it's absorbed directly through the blood, the exact nutrients that the bone marrow needs to create to do his job. And his job is to do all the white blood cells and platelets, so there is no imbalance. You were mentioning that, with this chemical drug that is used in conventional medicine, the drug is not supporting the formation of leukocytes, lymphocytes.

This is not an issue with Immunobel because those are in the fragments, just, it's nutritional approach to give the bone marrow what it needs. And so it respects the body. The body does its work, Mother Nature is absolutely perfect. And all the white blood cells, all the platelets are created in physiological number.

Case Study: Successful Chemotherapy with Immuno Be and Onco Be Pro

Dr. Richard Powers: Yeah. Yeah, well put all of that. And my results. First of all, I gotta tell you that this woman is 70 years old. Okay. And she went through this treatment and then took the Immunobel and the OnKobel-Pro® as I directed her to, and there was some other things, right? Other nutrients and other pieces that I gave her as well. But the research showed that this is gonna help protect platelet counts. In other words, like you say, provide the fundamental nourishment that the bone marrow needs to make more platelets and white blood cells. Those other nutrients and botanicals didn't really have the research behind that so much. So, I think that the platelet protection for sure, and even to a certain extent, the lymphocyte count, was coming from this Immunobel and the OnKobel-Pro® products.

And FYI, she went through, after three, she was scheduled for six cycles of chemotherapy. And after three, now she had her, she had what they call above and below lymph nodes. So, it was in her neck, it was in her armpit, it was below her waist, it was throughout her lymphatic system as verified by a PET scan.

And then after doing the protocols that they needed to do, plus the protocol that I recommended using Immunobel-Pro®, OnKobel-Pro® and some other things, after three cycles, so halfway through, they went and did another PET scan to see if it was having any effect yet. And there was no evidence of cancer. Halfway through her treatment.

Sylvie Beljanski: Yeah

Dr. Richard Powers: It was all gone. And she had, aside from losing her hair, she had no symptoms. Now, part of that might have been to some other things that she was taking and doing, but she had no nausea, no vomiting, no loss of weight. She continued to hike except for the day or two after chemo.

She was back to her normal self and I was checking her body composition. She maintained most of her muscle mass. She didn't have diarrhea. All the traditional things that happened didn't happen with her. How much of that was happening from the Immunobel-Pro®, the OnKobel-Pro®, don't know for sure.

If I look at, I've been following her for years before this. So, her average platelet count, normal is 175 to 400,000, and her average for her normal was about 180. So, it was already the low end of normal range but not any concern except she's a lot lower to being too low to continue her treatment and get in danger if it gets too much lower.

And, and again, if it gets below a hundred, certainly, they already start thinking about changing what they're doing. And below 75 they stop and wait and that's a problem. Anyway, her average level during her treatment was 204, so her average was 180 before getting on these Immunobel-Pro®, OnKobel-Pro®, before her chemo, her average platelet count was low, normal at 180, and her average numbers during the course of her entire chemotherapy treatment period was 10% higher than that, 204.

And her lowest level during treatment was 113, and one week later it was 218 and they're waiting two weeks in between treatments for her.

Sylvie Beljanski: Yeah.

Dr. Richard Powers: So ,there was absolutely no concern. One time it dropped to 104, and then a week later, it bounced back to 172. The reps of the time was 180, 200, 250, 280. Okay.

So, first of all, the fact that halfway through her treatment, there was no evidence. None. They were all scratching their head, this is amazing. It's a miracle that your father had these insights and followed through with it, despite everything he had to go through to do that.

But, it's not a miracle. It's good science and it's physiology.

Sylvie Beljanski: It's good, it's good Science. And the Science is published and everything is available on the website of beljanski.org. Everybody can look at the research, download, share that with their doctor and benefit from having this nutritional supplementation that will allow them to sail through chemotherapy without suffering too much of the side effects. 

The Science Behind OnKobel-Pro®

Sylvie Beljanski: Now, you were mentioning Immunobel-Pro® and OnKobel-Pro®. OnKobel-Pro® is a different product. The research which also is extensive behind each of the ingredients of OnKobel-Pro® shows that both the Pao Pereira extracts are very well known to have anti-cancer properties and in synergy with different kind of chemotherapies and also to fight cancer stem cells.

We have seen that already against ovarian cancer stem cells and pancreatic cancer stem cells. The Beljanski Foundation has now an ongoing research program at Kansas University Medical Center for breast cancer stem cells.

That's probably one of the reasons why there was no metastasis and no complication. We heard that again and again, that this product makes a real difference to help avoid recurrence and metastasis. 

Dr. Richard Powers: Absolutely. They did not even come close to, they were hoping to see some response after three of the cycles of chemo.

Not that they couldn't find any. And we know, or I've come to learn from the research with Beljanski that the OnKobel-Pro®, it helps the body eliminate destabilized DNA. The brain is continuing to function correctly. Or if it doesn't, then it has to trigger an apoptotic cell program cell death so that it dies. The problem is when it becomes destabilized, it doesn't die, and now it's got everything it needs to be a cancer cell.

And what I’m understanding is that the main ingredients in OnKobel-Pro® helps the body eliminate these cells when it, when they're, when they have destabilized DNA.

Sylvie Beljanski: Exactly.

Dr. Richard Powers: So, absolutely, I am convinced, and the research shows and the research will continue to show that the reason halfway through her treatment, she didn't have any cancer is because of the synergistic effect of the OnKobel-Pro® working at the same time.

Sylvie Beljanski: Oh yeah, we have seen that. I am delighted to hear that your practice is also confirming this. 

Supporting Patients Post-Chemotherapy

Sylvie Beljanski: So, this is for people undergoing chemotherapy. Now not everybody is going, some people are just coming, interested in prevention or they have finished the rounds of chemotherapy and what to do next.

How do you help them? How do you, are you supporting those patients? 

Dr. Richard Powers: Let's keep talking about this particular woman. So, we know that the chemotherapy wasn't killing the cancer stem cells. We know that the OnKobel-Pro® has ingredients that has research to show that. Do I know in this particular person sitting in front of me that if they do the OnKobel-Pro® during chemo that all the cancer stem cells are taken care of?

We don't even know exactly how this got a foothold in the first place 'cause she eats well, she lives well, but there's factors that we don't know about, right? We don't know if the little bit of chemical exposure was the trigger.

But what I do know is that I recommended that she continue to take the OnKobel-Pro® at a lower dosage and from what I understand, it can be pulsed, so you can do it, it has a lasting effect, then you could stop it, then you could return it. That's what I recommend with breast cancer.

If you're at a higher risk, you're taking the Womabel® Pro, which has some of the identical ingredients. So, I just continued and in fact told her white blood count, 'cause now she's not taking any drugs to artificially boost her white blood cell count.

So, now we just continued to use the Immunobel-Pro®. We dropped it twice a weekinstead of three times a week. I lowered the dose of the OnKobel-Pro® and then we did a period of time where we paused without it. Anyway, we're coming up on two years that she's cancer free, but she was cancer free, according to their standards halfway through their chemo, two and a half years before that.

So, why not just continue taking things that help keep cancer stem cells in check? I kept going with the Immunobel-Pro® until we got a good, we got our lymphocyte, I could, happy to say that we finally got a lymphocyte count up.

We've got it up to her average, oh, lymphocyte count was a thousand before the chemo and then it dropped and we, and it stabilized, but it didn't get too low. Now we got our lymphocyte count back beyond what it was before she ever had any cancer or chemotherapy.

So, anyway the moral of the story is what do I do? I do the same things that I do during treatment, only lower doses, maybe pulsing, the diet, the lifestyle, the healing, the focus, all that is the, and like you said, it's a journey. You just keep doing it and then you'll be even grateful.

That's one thing about these cancer patients, when they come out the other end and they're given a clean bill of health, meaning that they can't find any cancer cells with standard technology, these people, when they heal from this, they have a whole ‘nother level of sense of gratitude and not taking things for granted.

And these are really cool people to be around. I love being part of supporting that journey.

Sylvie Beljanski: That's fantastic. How can they find you and benefit from the products that you mentioned today?

Dr. Richard Powers: Yeah, obviously this, I have limited capacity to see people, which is why I, but you can go to, let me answer the first question. I created an online learning health resource called Intelligenthealthnow.com. So, if you go to intelligenthealthnow.com you'll be able to make an appointment according to availability.

But, because I'm only one person and there's 4 billion women on the planet, and that breast cancer is still the number one cause of cancer in women, if they don't smoke 'cause lung cancer, of course, is very popular still. So, I created an online course that people can walk themselves through all these fundamental things that I'm talking about, including supplements that help push them away from cancer and lower their risk.

And that includes, especially if they're at high risk, using Beljanski's Womabel® formula, which helps target breast cancer stem cells. So, again, every woman has breast cancer stem cells happening. And if you're not diagnosed, it's because your immune system has kept them in check, naturally, and or maybe it's forming and you don't know it yet, right?

It's not about panicking or worrying. It's about taking proactive steps that we know from the research can help move you away from the direction of breast cancer. So, I took all my recommendations from the research. How to monitor your breast health most effectively, how to do a self breast exam the right way.

How, or what supplements to take. What are the diet and exercise and lifestyle pieces? What's an anti-cancer mindset? What does that actually look like? And what to do about it. And I make it really easy and simple for people to walk themselves through this program. And the side effects of the program is it reduces your risk for all cancers and degenerative diseases that’s in the same place.

Sylvie Beljanski: Exactly. And that's why people sometimes, they start with one cancer and if it's not addressed properly, if it's the issues are not solved, then people get another cancer a few years later because the root of the problem has not been addressed. Absolutely. 

Dr. Richard Powers: And sometimes the treatment for their cancer, especially chemo radiation, it damages other systems, and now they have autoimmune disease they gotta deal with. So look, my passion for the rest of my life is to help people not get there, not get these diseases. Because once you get 'em, it's a long journey.

My passion is to help people learn and inspire them to take action before they get these diagnoses so that they don't. Anyway, if you go to intelligenthealthnow.com, you can book appointments on that website and you can also hit the link that tells you more about my breast cancer prevention course.

Sylvie Beljanski: Excellent. Thank you so much, Dr. Powers. So, you said you're in Florida. For people who want to move and see you in person, where exactly in Florida?

Dr. Richard Powers: So, I'm in Stuart, which is Southeast, so West Palm Beach, and then me.

Sylvie Beljanski: Beautiful area. I'm sure that people can manage to get a vacation, winter vacation and come to see you.

Dr. Richard Powers: There you go.

Sylvie Beljanski: Absolutely, definitely worth the journey, worth the travel and being treated as a person, not just as a disease, being listened to, having a compassionate doctor that will address the mind, the soul, the heart, and also all the proper nutritional approach that we need so much to take care of us, whether actually we are sick or not, and whether we choose conventional treatment or not. 

Integrative Medicine Approach

Dr. Richard Powers: And again, I'm not against any, look, that's why it's called integrative medicine? Integrative medicine is where you integrate the best of whatever's available and known, based on absolutely what's right for you, what feels right. But you gotta know what the options are and how they work together, like, synergistically, like I've been doing with this other patient.

It integrates everything. Mind, body, mind, the whole thing. Your heart, your diet, your lifestyle. It's not about one's right, one's wrong. It's about how can we integrate everything that we now know so that you can live your best life and facilitate your healing. 

Sylvie Beljanski: Absolutely.

Gratitude and Final Thoughts

Sylvie Beljanski: Thank you so much, Dr. Powers.

Dr. Richard Powers: I'm so grateful for you and your father and your team. I personally believe that work and what you've continued, 'cause the work is useless unless you make it available, which is what you did.

Sylvie Beljanski: Absolutely.

Dr. Richard Powers: And God knows the obstacles you have to go through and continue.

So, I'm so grateful for that, and so are every one of my patients, anyone that has the fortune to learn about what you guys offer. 

Sylvie Beljanski: Oh, thank you so much. Thank you for your kind words. Thank you for trusting us and having tried the products on your patients and being confident you would see the results. Thank you for that. 

Dr. Richard Powers: Yep. My pleasure.

Sylvie Beljanski: Thank you very much.
