What if treating cancer meant treating the whole person, not just the tumor?

In this episode of The Beljanski Cancer Talk Show, Sylvie sits down with Dr. Tony Jimenez, a physician who has spent more than 30 years practicing integrative oncology and caring for patients from around the world.

Dr. Jimenez shares the personal experiences that shaped his path, from his early years in medicine to a defining moment when his own father was diagnosed with cancer. That turning point led him away from a purely conventional track and toward an integrative approach that combines evidence-based medical care with immune support, nutrition, detoxification, emotional healing, and personalized treatment strategies.

You’ll hear how this philosophy comes to life at Hope4Cancer centers in Mexico, where patients receive individualized, whole-person care under one roof. Dr. Jimenez explains why emotional trauma is often an overlooked factor in illness, why immune function matters so much in cancer care, and how integrative oncology works alongside conventional medicine rather than replacing it.

He also walks through the thinking behind his books Hope for Cancer and Cancer Outsmarted, introduces the 7 Key Principles of Cancer Therapy, and explains the 11 Integrative Hallmarks of Cancer. Plus, he offers a preview of his upcoming book, Emotions and Cancer, which explores the connection between unresolved emotional stress and physical disease.

This conversation is educational, grounded, and deeply human, especially for patients, caregivers, and anyone seeking a broader perspective on cancer care.

Introduction and Patient Story

Dr. Tony Jimenez: When one patient today also said, “Dr. Tony, I don't know why I have this cancer. I eat well, I've never smoked. I don't drink, I'm happy.” And then I asked her, “What about the emotional aspect of the cancer?”

Welcome to The Beljanski Cancer Talk Show

Victor Dwyer: Hey, everyone! Welcome to today's episode of The Beljanski Cancer Talk Show. We're joined by Dr. Tony, founder and chief Medical director of Hope4Cancer Treatment Centers with over 30 years of experience in integrative oncology. He's the author of the 7 Key Principles of Cancer Therapy

His pioneering work has empowered patients worldwide with holistic science-based approaches to healing. Get ready for an inspiring conversation on hope, emotions, and the future of integrative cancer care. 

Sylvie Beljanski: Dr. Jimenez, welcome to The Beljanski Cancer Talk Show. We are so proud, so happy to have you here with us today. You are so well known, so well respected in the profession as one of the visionary and greatest expert in integrative cancer. You have practiced integrative cancer for decades now, and you have so much experience and knowledge.

Dr. Tony's Journey into Integrative Oncology

Sylvie Beljanski: How did you get there? How did you get involved into that specific approach of cancer? Most doctors who go to medical school and learn about oncology, they have a very conventional approach that is formed by pharmaceutical companies who are writing textbooks and formatting a little bit the young doctors. How did you escape the format? 

Dr. Tony Jimenez: Thank you. Thank you so much for having me, Sylvie, and The Beljanski Foundation on this beautiful, amazing podcast. I'm honored and sharing information of, as you said, almost three decades, if not a little more of working in integrative oncology.

So for me, it was a few turning points in my career. It started with I always wanted to be a doctor and there's a lot to be said about that. Being a doctor, helping patients, because I've had some disabilities myself. For example, I was born without vision on my left eye. And when I was a little boy, I asked the doctor that my mom took me to, “Hey, doctor, can I be a doctor also because I can't see with my left eye.”

And he says, “You can. So work hard and you could achieve it” and I'll never forget that. And because I cannot see with my left eye, it's a gift actually. I pay more attention. I listen to my patients. I look them in the eye because I have one eye to see them. And so this has been one, what one can consider a disability, it's actually been a gift.

And lately I have a patient who's an ophthalmologist in Houston, Texas, and she has colon cancer. And at the ophthalmologist, I told her the story of my left eye and she thought about it and a couple days later she came back and she said, “Dr. Tony, I realized that there's about one in 50 to 60 million people in the world, just one, outta 50 to 60 million people that can't see with one eye. So it's very rare. And so I think Dr. Tony,” she said “That you can see the visible in the invisible world and you could see the invisible in the visible world.” And I was like, “Wow, I never thought about that.” And then I go,

Sylvie Beljanski: What a gift!

Dr. Tony Jimenez: Yeah. Isn't that beautiful? And then I think of why God and our creator guided me to what I'm doing now because I never thought that I was going to be having a treatment center in Mexico and seeing patients from all over the world. So it's really been my experience. 

The Turning Point: Helping My Father

Dr. Tony Jimenez: My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer and he asked me to help him.

I was in the surgical track. My goal was to be a surgeon. I was very good with my hands. But then when my dad was found to have prostate cancer, also in Houston, Texas, he went to a renowned cancer center in Houston, and he had one treatment and he felt terrible. And then he called me and said, “Son, I haven't told you I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, but I can't do this anymore.”

And that was just one treatment, Sylvie. And then he said, “Can you help me?” And I'm like, “Oh my, I have to help my dad.” And so I started researching because, as you said, we don't learn about nutrition, we don't learn about the immune system, how important are the white blood cells, the platelets and targeting circulating cancer cells and all this.

So it's been many years of traveling. Actually, I just got back from Boston. I took a five-day course at Harvard and I could tell you this was shocking. One of the main oncologists in the US, he's at Stanford, Stanford University, Stanford Hospital Medical Center, and he said the following, are you ready with what he said, everyone, and I'm just quoting him. He said, “Most cancer drugs fail most patients most of the time.” Wow. And so…

Sylvie Beljanski: At least he was honest. 

Dr. Tony Jimenez: Yes. And then a lot of oncologists are giving the wrong drugs because they're not precisely, molecularly profiling the tumors or the biopsy material.

So, now in 2025 and going forward, precision medicine, whether it's conventional medicine or what we do, is integrative oncology, we can guide, precision guide natural therapies to target those molecular pathways as we're changing lifestyle, we're teaching the patients what their personalized, individualized nutrition program should be.

So, in answer to your question, Sylvie, because I got off like a little tangent there, it's, I think it was my divine guidance, divine intervention that shifted my path and my career as an aspiring surgeon and to work in integrative oncology than my father with the prostate cancer. And then I receive a prophecy where it was prophesized over me that I would have a healing center outside of the US where many will come to find health and healing. And you've been here.

Sylvie Beljanski: Yes. Yes. I have, I had the chance to, the honor to visit your beautiful center in Cancun, and you also have a center in Tijuana, right?

Dr. Tony Jimenez: Yes. The center in Tijuana, we opened in the year 2000. So this year, 2025, we're celebrating 25 years that we opened the Tijuana treatment center. In Cancun, we opened in 2015, so we're celebrating 10 years here. 

Sylvie Beljanski: So, as a patient, and I want to repeat the name of your clinic, Hope4Cancer, why would people who have been diagnosed with cancer choose to fly to Mexico and come to Hope4Cancer whether in Cancun or in Tijuana? What will, how the experience will be different from anything they can, could get here in the US?

Dr. Tony Jimenez: Yes. Today, I actually, today, just before this podcast, I was seeing patients here in Cancun, and I asked two patients that question.

One is the physician's assistant, working in MD Anderson and Houston and thoracic surgery, and the other one is a chiropractor with a lot of knowledge of natural therapies and functional medicine. 

Unique Approach to Cancer Treatment

Dr. Tony Jimenez: And they chose to come to Hope4Cancer because under one roof, we're covering so much and we're looking at root causes, and we have the emotional, spiritual transformation therapy or sessions. Because most places in the world, they look at cancer as the tumor, but they don't look at the whole person. One patient today also said, “Dr. Tony, I don't know why I have this cancer. I eat well, I've never smoked. I don't drink, I'm happy.” And then I asked her, "What about the emotional aspect of the cancer?”

And she started crying, breaking down and she said, “oh, I'm sorry.” I said, “No, don't be sorry. This is good. Release that.” But I hit it where the issue was with her emotional trauma. And I often say this, I say unresolved emotional trauma is often the hidden toxin that drives disease quietly at the cell level.

We think about toxins as heavy metals, EMF, glyphosate and all that, which they are toxins, of course, but what about unresolved emotional trauma? I consider that the hidden toxin that quietly drives disease at the cell level. So, this is unique to Hope4Cancer. And also we start every morning actually in this room where I am now, we start every morning with praise and worship. And that's independently of the, your religion. We have a patient here now from Dubai and he's a Muslim and he's coming to the praise and worship because, ultimately, it's one God that we're all serving. And it's such a beautiful thing that you start the day with the spiritual nourishment.

And then you go and do all the physical treatments and then you work on the emotional release of the stuff, right? We all have stuff that we're carrying. So, it's a multidisciplinary center. And of course, Cancun, what a great place to heal. And Tijuana is also across the beach, across the street from the ocean, from the beach. Really nice healing centers.

And the other thing that patients love is the Mexican hearts, right? Our staff is mostly Mexicans because we're in Mexico. We have others from Argentina and other places. But the care, it's not, oh a patient told me that, oh, they say, “Hey, Jim, come over here,” or, the nurse or even the cleaning lady, they know the patient's name. It's not patient in room 254, for example. So very individualized personal care, and heart filled. Focusing on the spiritual, the emotional, and the physical healing. 

Sylvie Beljanski: Can you give us a little bit more details about what happens to the patient? Decides to come to your, he calls Hope4Cancer, “I’ve been diagnosed? I would like to come to your place.” And then, what happens? Can you walk us through the experience…

Dr. Tony Jimenez: Yes

Sylvie Beljanski: …of the average patient? How long he has to stay? What kind of test he or she has to go through?

Dr. Tony Jimenez: Yes.

Sylvie Beljanski: And then what kind of therapy you are offering, it's integrative, so do people also have chemotherapy, radiotherapy? Is it conventional dosage? Is it less because you are managing the pain with other therapies? Can you tell us more about what makes Hope4Cancer special?

Unique Approach to Cancer Treatment

Dr. Tony Jimenez: Yes. So, the first thing is when someone finds out about Hope4Cancer, either from another patient, from a doctor, we're seeing more and more every day that doctors, practitioners are referring patients to us or however they found out about us, they contact our admissions office. There's two doctors in the admissions team, medical doctors, and they review the records of the patient, and then they put together a preliminary treatment plan, and then the admission specialist goes over the logistics, the cost of that, then the patients come either to Tijuana or Cancun for a three-week stay.

The difference between Tijuan and Cancun is Tijuana is a small hospital, so patients are there for the three weeks. Cancun is an outpatient facility. So, we arrange all that for the patients. They stay at the hotel, we pick 'em up, all that. So it tends to be the patients that are more advanced, they go to Tijuana because maybe they need a blood transfusion.

Maybe like you said, Sylvie, they might need radiation to the bone, because that bone is very close to fracturing, or the pain is so intense that they're taking morphine every four, six hours and it's better to give them spot radiation to that bone, five, seven sessions of radiation and then we don't have to be using that morphine all the time.

So, the Tijuana patients tend to be more advanced and the Cancun patients, although they could be stage four, but they're ambulatory, they have good appetite. We don't have to feed them through the IV like we do sometimes in Tijuana. So, once they come here, the day usually starts at either treatment center, usually starts about 7:30, 8:00 AM with praise and worship, like I said, and then a host of therapies.

During the three weeks that the patients are here, we have calculated, they get something between 250 to 300 therapies in those three weeks. So, it's a busy day. And the therapies include boosting the immune system. Everything from mistletoe, some of the therapies I developed myself throughout the years.

And we use peptide therapies as well. And, of course, we love talking about the immune system. We love the, because oftentimes, their patients have already failed conventional therapy, whether it's chemo, radiation, immunotherapies, and as they're toxic, their immune system is depressed, platelets are low, and with Immunobel that we've used for many years, we see really good results.

One of our patients that I saw today when she arrived, her white blood cells were 4.3. Normal range starts at five and above in our lab, and now, I think it's two weeks later, we repeated the test and the white blood cells are 5.7 with the use of Immunobel. So that's been a very important part of immune toolbox.

So, we focus a lot on the immune system, not only the quick acting immune cells, but also the long-term immune cells and then the detoxifying, because one of the things we're finding a lot is heavy metals, aluminum, like 99% of our patients have aluminum toxicity, and then you're looking at mercury, cadmium, nickel, silver, and the list goes on.

So, we have to get rid of those heavy metals as well. And vitamin D, it's another very important marker to see how the immune system is, how the metabolism is. And for example, today, the patient had vitamin D and blood at 28.8. That should be 80 and above. So, we have a protocol that we give vitamin D intramuscularly, a shot in the buttock as well as orally.

So, getting the vitamin D levels higher changes the panorama of the cancer situation. 

The Seven Key Principles of Cancer Therapy

Dr. Tony Jimenez: So, we follow what I call the 7 Key Principles to Cancer Therapy. And if I could show, this is my first book called Hope for Cancer - 7 Principles to Remove Fear and Empower Your Healing Journey.

This was published in 2019 and then the revised edition was in 2021. I encourage any of the listeners of the podcast to, when you wake up in the morning, first, thank God, thank our creative for another day, right? Waking up is good because many people don't wake up every day in the morning, with cancer, without cancer, apparently healthy, they're found dead in the morning. So, waking up is good. Secondly is, if there's someone next to you, tell them how much you love them. And thirdly, is think about these 7 Key Principles and what can I do better today? And that's for prevention, for maintenance, if you're in remission, or for treatment.

And all you have to do, if you don't wanna read the whole book is open the book, and the 7 Key Principles, I know you probably can't see this, but the 7 Key Principles are right here. And so for me, sometimes I wake up and I say, you know, today I work on oxygenation because yesterday I didn't walk, I didn’t exercise, I didn't do my deep breathing exercises, and so forth. That's very important. And so that way, slowly and sometimes quickly, you are upregulating the ability of your body to self-heal because we have an inherent ability to self-heal. So that's about the 7 Key Principles. I'm trying to answer all the questions you gave me, like, 10 questions very quickly.

So, then after the three weeks, they're doing a lot of therapies every day and they go home with a robust home program. Not just a bag of supplements, or pills. They go home with injections that they continue. They go home with something that we call sono photodynamic therapy, using sound and light to treat cancer. By the way, is that quackery, or is that real science? Sono and photodynamic therapy in cancer is real science. As a matter of fact, in October, 2023, the US FDA approved using sound therapy to treat liver cancer. That was October, 2023, and I've been using sound therapy since the year 2002. And so, slowly conventional wisdom is catching up.

And the same thing for photodynamic therapy. This is very powerful. There's the Wellman Institute of Photo Medicine at Harvard that all they do is focus on the use of light to treat cancer, to ward off pathogens and so forth. So, there's a lot to be said about using sound and light to target cancer cells.

The difference is the sound therapy can go deep into the body, like, to the lungs, to the pancreas, to the colon. And the light is for more superficial tumors like in the breast. So, it's really beautiful when you see that the patients can continue these therapies at home because they're only with us for three weeks.

We have a patient now that wants to stay longer and, of course, we allow that and then they go home for three months with a robust home program. And then, return in three months for a follow-up evaluation. In the meantime, we have what we call, Sylvie, a Home Program Support staff, and that's an office that's to my left here, and in that office there's two doctors, a nurse, and other support team following up with the patient. So, that's the patient's lifeline to us once they go back to New York or California, wherever they come from. So, it's not okay, three weeks are done, go home and that's it. No, we're in touch with the patients and we also provide three additional best program sessions, that's behavioral, emotional, and spiritual transformation.

So, we have two practitioners that give our patients three additional sessions on letting go of helping them, right? Continue that work of having them let go of those unresolved traumatic experiences, conflict, issues with divorce and separation, and all the bad stuff in life that ultimately contribute to disease.

Sylvie Beljanski: Absolutely. I mean, you go to the doctor, you don't think you are going to go to a marriage counselor, but actually it works together. When you are in a toxic relationship and sometimes it's not worth saving the relationship, it's just better to save the patient and remove all toxicity.

Dr. Tony Jimenez: Absolutely. We have it all in-house. And that's part of the answer to your question. Many patients come here because in one place they could do so much that they won't need to go to three or four or five different clinics or places to get these therapies. So, it's very well developed, very structured, and the results speak for themselves. We have…

Success Stories and Statistics

Sylvie Beljanski: So, can you tell us, tell us more about the results, because I know that your stats are phenomenal compared to conventional medicine. 

Dr. Tony Jimenez: Yes. And all this, before I answer that, all this to say that I don't pull conventional medicine, like, sometimes you need to do some chemotherapy, but we do low dose chemotherapy.

That's called IPT, always with the integrative approach. Never do chemotherapy by itself. Always with stimulating the immune system. Detoxifying, nutrition, oxygenation, caring for the microbiome, very important as well. And then continuing the non-toxic cancer therapy. We do this low dose chemotherapy when necessary in our Tijuana center. Just yesterday I saw a patient that, actually, I met at the 2025 Beljanski Conference and he's here now and he has a lot of cancer. It started in the colon and now it's extensive in the liver and it's in the lung and other places like lymph nodes. So, we're going to transfer him to Tijuana so we could do low dose chemotherapy, because the train is moving fast, and they gave him like a month to live in the US. And so, we have to integrate both therapies. So, this is important. So, I forgot what the question was 

Sylvie Beljanski: No I, we know that you are doing so much better than just conventional medicine where doctors are just going chemotherapy or radiotherapy without all the other things and without looking at the patient, as a whole person needing a lot of therapies actually, and I would like you to speak a little bit about the statistics that you have of success compared to other kind of treatments alone, we just address the cancer, the size of the tumor, and are just happy with, “Oh, the tumor is shrinking. You are doing well,” without addressing anything else. 

Dr. Tony Jimenez: Yes, exactly. So we've done, we have a research and education team at Hope4Cancer that's headed by a double PhD Sciences by the name of Dr. Chakravarty and he's the Head of our R&D department. So, we have, and there's a doctor in that department as well, and other staff member. So, we are collecting data, we're analyzing patients’ charts and seeing how they do. So, right now we have quality of life data, and that looks at quality of life within four or five different parameters like social functioning, how they're feeling, the sleep and so forth.

So, 87% improvement in quality of life only within the three weeks that the patients are here and that continues at home. For example, we have a patient from Virginia now. He has a very rare cancer. It's called an undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma and it started in his buttock and they gave him radiation.

The radiation didn't touch it, and then they did a radical surgery, removing half of his buttock and the tumor, but some tumor is probably still remaining there. And when he came here, he could not walk, and he had a lot of pain because of the sciatic nerve and all that. So, now he's leaving in two days and I saw him today, he's walking without a limp and he stopped the medicine.

He was taking gabapentin, which is a medicine when there's nerve type pain, right? So, he stopped that. His quality of life is so much better. His wife came a few days ago to be with him in his last days at the center and she says, “Wow, I didn't recognize my husband. He feels, he feels and looks so much better. He is not limping, he is not in pain.”

So, we have quality of life data. We have longitudinal studies. A longitudinal study was suggested to me by a professor at Harvard, actually. I don't know why all this Harvard contacts, but this director at Harvard told me years ago, she said, “Dr. Tony, do a three months longitudinal study, which means if you could prove that your patients live three months longer, that's gold standard.”

I said, “Three months longer?” That's not acceptable, but that's the gold standard in conventional oncology. So, what we did is we did a one year longitudinal study instead of the three months, and the results are compelling. And then, we did a five-year survival data for seven types of cancers: ovarian, melanoma, prostate, breast, colon, lung and I think it was lymphoma. So, we did seven cancers with five-year survival data. And then, Sylvie, we compare that with the NCI, National Cancer Institute SEER Data, Surveillance Epidemiology and End-stage Result data. And the results were, like, so much better.

And also, take into consideration that our data, 70% of the patients, if not a little more, maybe 75% of the patients come to us when they fail conventional therapy. So, they're already in stage four, but the NCI SEER data is taking into account stage one, two, and possibly three. They don't take into account stage four.

And they follow and track their patients from the diagnosis. We start them when they come to us already in…

Sylvie Beljanski: Already very advanced.

Dr. Tony Jimenez: Yes. Yes. And so, for example, in Pancreatic, oh, that was the last one, not lymphoma, pancreatic. We have 35.6% five-year survival for pancreatic cancer, stage three and four. In the SEER Data, National Cancer Institute, it’s about 2.5% five-year survival for pancreatic cancer.

And so, we did this for seven cancers and in colon cancer were about the same as the NCI data, but in all the others, were much better. So, the unfortunate situation, to be transparent, is that our attorneys said, don't publish that data. Because, you know, this is, this is not healthy for you to publish this data.

So, we have the data and we can't publish it. We're very proud of our results. And the worst that could happen for anyone that comes to Hope4Cancer is they live longer, a much longer, and they have much better quality of life. I don't believe that you have to feel worse before feeling better. That's an old paradigm in today's medicine. You could feel better as you’re doing the treatments, right, because we're detoxifying. We're working with your mind and your emotions. We're building your immune system. And by the way, for the cancer, the OnKobel-Pro® is like one of our great therapies also.

That's part of in knowing what I learned in the April 2025 Beljanski Conference that the studies in Kansas revealed that the OnKobel targets those breast cancer circulating tumor cells. And now the ongoing study was with prostate cancer, as I remember. Onkobel, I would encourage any of you out there that are listening to consider and contact Sylvie, The Beljanski Foundation to look at the OnKobel-Pro® and also the Immunobel, two very non-toxic effective therapies that, you know, have a long history of efficacy. But, what can I tell you that Sylvie cannot tell you about these two?

Sylvie Beljanski: Yes. No. Thank you very much for mentioning OnKobel-Pro® and Immunobel-Pro®. Indeed, those products are two of the Beljanski products from the professional line. And I do really appreciate that you are trusting the research presented by The Beljanski Foundation and using the products successfully. That's what all the efforts that I've been doing for the past 30 years to carry my father's legacy are about, to be able to present the research to doctors like you and then have their patients benefit from my father's research.

The 11 Integrative Hallmarks of Cancer

Sylvie Beljanski: You were showing the book. Can you show it again such as you have on your table? Yes. So that's the 7 Keys to cancer, right? Yes. And recently you moved from 7 Keys to 11 Hallmarks.

Dr. Tony Jimenez: To doing what, Sylvie? 

Sylvie Beljanski: 11 Hallmarks of Cancer.

Dr. Tony Jimenez: Oh, yes, yes. This is the,

Sylvie Beljanski: Yes. Yes.

Dr. Tony Jimenez: This is the second book.

Sylvie Beljanski: Yes.

Dr. Tony Jimenez: And this is called Cancer Outsmarted, because cancer, is cancer a stupid disease or is it a smart disease? It's obviously a smart disease. Only very few cancers are stupid, meaning they have one driver mutation. Most cancers have multiple driver mutations, so maybe some forms of thyroid cancer, maybe acute myeloid leukemia, maybe a testicular cancer can be a stupid cancer. But 90 plus percent of cancers are very smart. They have 12 characteristics of mechanism of how they grow, progress and metastasize. That led me to co-write this book with my scientist called Cancer Outsmarted - 11 Integrative Hallmarks of Cancer to minimize risk and optimize health. So, this is the foundation of root causes that all of us, whether we don't have cancer, thankfully, or you've been diagnosed with cancer. So, for prevention or treatment, this is the foundation of what we should be doing every day. And here we talk about the four main categories of the 11 Integrative Hallmarks that are systemic dysregulation.

To have systemic dysregulation, one of the first thing is a compromised immune system, and this is where we talk about things like Immunobel, disruptive microbiome, right? The microbiome is so important. There's a lot of research now. And that's a long topic that we could discuss sometime.

And then the second, and I'm just skimming through this, the second one is environmental and biological influences such as epigene, genetics and epigenomics. So, we talk about that here. Are we doomed? Because my father had prostate cancer, am I doomed to have prostate cancer? Absolutely not. I just have to change things that my dad may not have done well.

Sylvie Beljanski: Absolutely

Dr. Tony Jimenez: Wake up in New Jersey and watching baseball, the New York mets all the time, and eating a ball of ice cream every night during six months of the season or whatever. That's not healthy, right? All that processed sugar and all that .

Sylvie Beljanski: And yeah, that's more important actually than the genes.

Dr. Tony Jimenez: That's right. Yes, yes.

Sylvie Beljanski: Yeah.

Dr. Tony Jimenez: And then the third big category here, it's habits and behaviors such as physical inactivity, nutritional imbalances and sleep disturbances. There are some things, everyone, that are non-negotiable. You must sleep well, and that means seven to eight hours, eight hours, preferably, between 10:00 PM and 2:00 AM is when the body regenerates, repairs and heals, and that's where more neuroplasticity happens.

So, between 10:00 PM and 2:00 AM make sure you're in bed at that time. It's hard, right? Because we work hard and all that. And I, that's one thing I have to improve is what time I go to bed. So, we talk about that and we talk, and then the fourth last category here is emotional and lifestyle imbalances, right? And lifestyle stressors that we mentioned earlier.

So, this is a really powerful book that will make us accountable to look at these 11 Integrative Hallmarks and make sure we're on point and on target addressing them because we don't wanna be part of the statistics, you know. It's estimated that in the next few years, maybe 2030, 2035, everyone in the US will have cancer sometime in their lifetime.

Now, it's one in every two men and one of every three females. And as you said initially, Sylvie, also we're seeing the same thing at Hope4Cancer. Younger patients with cancer, more aggressive cancers, more difficult to treat. Cancers that are rare that I didn't see maybe one in 20 years, and now I'm seeing three in a month. Why is that? So we really have to be proactive. We really have to take matters into our hands and do all the good things. 

Sylvie Beljanski: To outsmart cancer. Absolutely.

Dr. Tony Jimenez: And then I wanna say that my third book, I'm just giving you a preview. My third book is coming out in March, so I'll have it for the 2026 Beljanski Conference, I’ll have my third book, and that's called Emotions and Cancer.

Sylvie Beljanski: Very important.

Dr. Tony Jimenez: Releasing emotional trauma as a foundation to your healing, and I really believe that will be the best book. Because, so far, it's almost ready to go into the next phase of printing and so forth, or copy editing. And I've had some colleagues read it to gimme some endorsements. People like Nasha Winters, Kelly Turner that wrote Radical Remission, Dr. Gilbert Renaud, who's the leader of something called Recall Healing. Brilliant French Canadian doctor. Gilbert Renauf and others. Dr. Emoto from the Emoto Group in Japan who studied water and the effects of emotions and energy and water and many others that have, even some of them have told me that reading the book has even transformed their life.

So, I'm really excited about emotions and cancer, and we'll have it for you at the 2026 Beljanki Conference. 

Sylvie Beljanski: Well, we look definitely forward to that. Absolutely. Thank you so very much. 

Dr. Tony Jimenez: Thank you, Sylvie.
