Summary

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the best-selling drug in the world: Keytruda.

Keytruda helps your immune system find and kill cancer cells. Keytruda is also used for autoimmune diseases and certain infections. Unlike chemotherapy, Keytruda helps kill cancer cells without killing your immune system.

Keytruda works through immunomodulation. Immunomodulators increase, decrease, or block your immune system.

Immunomodulator drugs have many side effects and don’t work on all types of cancer. Some cancers can become resistant to immunotherapy and stronger with treatment, a phenomenon similar to antibiotic resistance. Immunomodulator drugs don’t target the fuel for cancer or the raw materials necessary to build cancer cells.

There are many natural immunomodulators. In fact, drug companies use research on plant chemicals to develop over 50% of medications.

The following are natural immunomodulators:

• Astragalus

• Reishi mushrooms and other types of mushrooms

• Vitamin D

Dietary changes are also important. You need to eliminate foods that fuel cancer cells.

Fasting is the most powerful tool to starve off cancer. It’s also important to believe that you will overcome cancer. Mindset matters!

0:00.0	We can learn a lot about the number one selling drug in the world.
0:05.3	Now I'm not going to tell people not to take this drug, I'm not going to tell people to take it,
0:10.3	and I'm definitely not here to get in the middle of you and your doctor with this medication.
0:14.7	But if I had this particular illness and needed this drug and I was told about this drug, I would
0:21.6	want some additional information and that's what I'm going to share with you today.
0:24.7	This drug is projected to produce over 27 billion dollars at the end of this year, 2024.
0:35.0	And it's a cancer drug, and it's very unique in that it's creating a paradigm shift in
0:40.2	oncology, because what it does is it actually targets a very specific thing for certain types of cancer, not all of cancer.
0:47.8	It's called precision medicine. So it's not a broad-based antibiotic or like chemotherapy. It's very targeted to this one
0:57.4	thing. It releases the brakes on your own immune system.
1:04.0	Cancer is always trying to evade your immune system.
1:09.0	This specific drug is called Kietruda, does something to block that mechanism and allows your
1:16.5	own immune system to be able to tag and see where the cancer cells are so they can kill it.
1:23.0	So that's one thing I really like about the strategy is that you're getting your own immune system to do the work.
1:30.0	It's like training this elite special forces to do a very specific job to attack a very specific
1:38.5	invader.
1:39.5	They also use this drug for autoimmune diseases, infections, and cancer.
1:45.0	You know, I like this strategy better if you have the type of cancer that this can help you with,
1:50.0	versus chemotherapy, which kills off cancer and your immune system.
1:55.4	It pretty much wipes everything out.
1:57.0	We're dealing with something called immunomodulation.
