Summary

In today's episode, you'll get to explore the world of early cancer detection with Dr. Azra Raza, a pioneering oncologist and professor of medicine. We discuss the anxiety-inducing issues surrounding current cancer screening methods like mammograms and colonoscopies and examine advanced alternatives such as GRAIL and Cologuard. Dr. Raza also shares her groundbreaking work in detecting "The First Cell" and explores the potential of biomarkers and wearable devices for early detection (check out her fascinating book on this topic for more invaluable information!).

In a deeply personal segment, Dr. Raza opens up about her late husband's battle with leukemia and how it shaped her understanding of cancer. We’ll also discuss the flaws in the current cancer research model, the financial struggles for innovative scientists, and the urgent need for better funding to accelerate progress.

Dr. Azra Raza is the Chan Soon-Shiong Professor of Medicine and Clinical Director of The Edward P. Evans Foundation MDS Center at Columbia University in New York. A practicing oncologist seeing 30–40 cancer patients weekly, she directs a basic cancer research lab with hundreds of original publications in high-profile journals. Her life is dedicated to the prevention of all chronic diseases, including cancer, by early detection. She worked with President Clinton, designing breakthrough developments in science and technology, and with President Joe Biden for the Cancer Moonshot initiative. Her latest book is a national bestseller and has been translated into nine languages.

Dr. Raza is now involved in First Cell Therapeutics, developing a specific antibody to target and remove the tumor macrophage hybrid cells that act as The First Cell giving rise to cancer.

0:00.0	My name is Ben Greenfield and on this episode of the Ben Greenfield Life Podcast.
0:04.3	This whole drug development model is so artificial.
0:10.1	This is what forced me to actually write the book to bring all this to attention, the first cell and the human costs of pursuing cancer to the last.
0:21.0	The subtitle of the book is a direct criticism of this system of drug
0:26.6	development because cancer scientists who are PhDs mostly, they never see patients.
0:34.2	They miss completely what the patient is going through.
0:37.2	Cancer scientists are studying a disease
0:40.0	they never see in animals who don't get the disease.
0:44.0	Fitness, nutrition, biohacking, longevity, life optimization,

1:16.7	Barely any of them have any actual rigorous scientific proof behind them.
1:21.6	However, there is a device, it's a suite of devices that I recently found
1:28.8	and it's a suite of devices that actually have scientific and peer-reviewed research third-party testing behind
1:36.0	them and global patents on their technology.
1:39.6	Most other technologies claim to block or harmonize EMFs. This technology actually modulates the
1:48.2	signal to allow your body to be able to more naturally handle EMFs. What it does is it changes and reorganizes
1:55.5	chaotic or harmful electromagnetic radiation and electromagnetic fields into a biologically compatible
