In this video, Bradford Weeks spends about 27 minutes speaking on "Cancer, STEM Cells" at the 40th Annual Cancer Convention held on Labor Day weekend by the Cancer Control Society.
About Bradford Weeks
BRADFORD WEEKS, M.D. worked for two years doing research at Massachusetts General Hospital’s Mineral Metabolism Unit working on Osteoporosis (calcium, magnesium with Robert Neer, M.D.) and vitamin D metabolism (with Michael Holick, M.D.).
In addition, he studied various nutritional strategies: Macrobiotics (with Mishio Kushi, raw foods, fasting), Acupuncture, Massage (shiatsu), Music Therapy (trained in the Tomatis method), Anthroposophical Medicine (with Otto Wolff, M.D.) and Classical Homeopathy. Medical school at the University of Vermont in Burlington was followed by Medical Internship (1 year) and Psychiatric Residency at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (3 years). He became a specialist in Psychiatry (focusing on Neuro-Psychiatry and Psycho-Neuro-Immunology).
A beekeeper before he became a physician, Dr. Weeks has utilized Venomology (apitherapy in particular) since founding the American Apitherapy Society (AAS) in 1985 and editing its Journal for the first 6 years of its publication. Fortunate to have developed a close mentoring relationship with the father of Orthomolecular Psychiatry, Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D., Dr. Weeks has developed these principles over the past 20 years in his Psychiatric and Medical Practice.
Invited to work with the world-famous Jonathan Wright, M.D. at the Tahoma Clinic right out of residency, Dr. Weeks subsequently broadened his practice to include Nutritional Therapies, including myriad IV treatments (ACAM accredited in Chelation Therapy 1994), Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) (trained 2002 and Clinical Instructor 2009), while developing the field of “Corrective Medicine and Psychiatry.”
At this point he serves both as a general practitioner and as a specialist and focuses on not fighting illness but rather on correcting imbalances on the mental, emotional, vital and physical levels. When necessary, he has utilized low-dose, targeted chemotherapy methodology referred to as Insulin Potentiation Therapy as part of Corrective Cancer Care. Dr. Weeks strives to empower patients to create peace within by changing their physiology through diet, orthomolecular replenishment, managing their mental state and getting a good nights’ sleep.
His current focus is sharing the principles of Corrective Cancer Care with interested Oncologists addressing the importance of not just killing cancer cells but also nourishing the patient and his/her immune system so that the cancer STEM cells which cause most of the trouble can be reintegrated into a healthy body.

Well, I'm going to start with a quick little story. Most my patients are smart enough to ask me about a cancer diet. I'm just going to recount this quickly, because about twenty five years ago, I struggled with Miccio Khushi, the macrobiotic diet guru. Very interesting time. And people struggle with this quite difficult, challenging, somewhat dower diet where you start to appreciate the bouquet of brown rice after the 12th day. But so they ask Dr. Khushi, what is your what is your cancer diet? He says there's three rules.
No one pause before the meal paused before the meal. And appreciate that somebody fixed it. Somebody picked the rice. Somebody transported it. Somebody made this meal happen. If you don't pause, we know from a scientific perspective you won't get into the parasympathetic relaxed phase where you can actually digest and absorb your nourishment. Number one, rule pause with appreciation. Number two, rule. Choo choo choo choo choo. Your food. Do justice to what you've received. And only number three, what do you talk about? Specific, intelligent food choices. So I'm going to give you in twenty five minutes what can only be described as fast food. I would love to take a couple hours and detailers. You're going to get a fast food diet. So before we do, I just wanted to pause because where were you 40 years ago? What were you doing 40 years ago? Well, if you think what you're doing 40 years ago, that's how significant this Cancer Control Society effort is. Forty years, that's a huge amount of time. And who were you with every year? Maybe you had a family reunion every year. Were you did you do anything? Every year for the last 40 years. Maybe Christmas with family, but but probably time with loved ones would be what you did every year for the past 40 years. Well, what is Lorraine and Frank and all the wonderful volunteers done? They've created a reunion for loved ones to get together every year for 40 years. And I think that's quite significant and I'm very appreciative to be here. Now, what else happened 40 years ago? That's when Nixon created the war on cancer, right? Approximately 40 years ago. And I think we're winning compared to the conventional protocols. Thanks to Lorraine and all of you talking about what you know now, when somebody gets cancer today, it's not more than a few minutes before they're starting to think about alternatives to conventional cancer care. That is a very significant accomplishment that we all can pat ourselves on the back for.
Now, the war on cancer. I don't like the
