I don’t think we’re ever going to find an answer in a pharmaceutical, though that is the system we have created. From the moment I arrived at the Mayo Clinic I knew my issues which turned out to be “a rare disease incurable brain cancer” was related to my teeth, which is a part of healthcare we ignore. We’ve created quite a system that ignores cause and will continue to ignore causes as long as we’re willing to pay it to create new drugs to find the cure.
we completely ignore teeth! going to a dentist every 6 months is not the same thing as understanding the connection between oral health and the health of the body. dentists have the same narrow focus as other conventionally trained medical practitioners.
Here’s what I learned… hopefully this will come through. It’s a link for my Substack. If not check out my Substack. It’s all there along with some pretty helpful information that I learned along the way I do a whole lot of different things with my teeth now and I wasn’t ignoring my teeth. I was at the dentist to every three months for the last 20 years. Something about removing my wisdom teeth did not really work out for the rest of my body…
I am absolutely fantastic thank you for asking. If you click on my Substack, I am sharing everything I can possibly share about the experience. It took me a minute to walk away from the protocols that they were recommending, pretty scary, frankly. Particularly when you have one of the experts in that particular cancer in the world on your case. I think what’s more stunning to me at this point is that by the time I was done with my treatment and I had my last follow up MRI, my brain appeared as if it had gotten larger. When I asked about that they said well, we don’t really measure that… But truthfully I think breathing and meditation have a whole lot to do with changing the structure of your brain. I’m going with that because I certainly like my ideas better than what I was offered up by the healthcare industry. And I am living my life and loving it totally unattached to the healthcare industry. So grateful.
Media has certainly conditioned us against science…media consumers get primed for demanding immediate answers, a true misunderstanding of science, and a mentality that promotes victimhood and shifts blame. In reality there is so much fluidity in disease, hopeful cures, and most importantly, we have to remember that each person is n=1. Perhaps that’s scarier for many.
Usually you make a compelling case, but you went too far with Brian Johnson. He is an N =1 but he is also human and if the data can't just be generalized, it gives us a great starting point. He has frequently repeated, long term data which is very broad.

How do we ignore teeth? People go to the dentist more than a doctor during their lifetime if they go every 6 months as recommended.

Cancer "care" in the US is really big business, ~$190 billion/year (medical services + drugs). https://progressreport.cancer.gov/after/economic_burden
"Cures" would put a huge dent in the profits of many companies and medical systems.
