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 talk today about onco immunology, but I'm going to clarify that that's going to be something you guys already know all about. But in many instances, we've forgotten it. So.
The first thing as a medical doctor for the past 25 years, I focused on enhancing immune systems of patients and empowering them so that they can fight cancer effectively. And it was a delightful and challenging experience during that process. I injected intravenous DMSO into people, and I have to tell Dr. Royalle he has to open the windows when he does that, because that stinks afterwards. But it's very effective. I also am one of the three doctors in America who is certified to teach insulin potentiation therapy to other doctors. So I've been in the thick of conventional and integrative oncology for many years. It was not my training, but it's what needed to be done. That's why I stepped up and did so. For the purposes of this talk today, we'll talk about onco immunology. But I want to start by orienting us.
I'm going to give you one celebration. I'm going to give you two announcements, three surprises and for solutions here. Ready? Forty five years. Can we celebrate Lorraine and Frank for doing this for 45 years?
They are a light. They are a beacon. And to me, that's astonishing.
So good for them and good for all the people supporting them. Now, the first announcement is that indeed cytotoxic chemotherapy and radiation have passed. May they rest in peace. Now, Joe, I am not kidding. The only reason a doctor today recommends chemo and radiation is not because of the science. It's because of this juggernaut of a billion dollar economic machine that cannot turn on a dime. But I've talked to oncologists around the world and they say chemotherapy and radiation therapy are on the way out to be replaced by onco immunology, enhancing the immune system and anti inflammation. Now, chemotherapy was born in 1943 and in a Barry Harbor in Italy. If you're not familiar with that situation, there was an explosion on a car, on a boat during World War. And the mustard gas one in the water. And the sailors had to swim for their lives and they died of terrible burns. And the autopsy showed that the mustard gas had suppressed certain immune function cells. And so that's how chemotherapy was born. At Yale University in 1943, right afterwards, they started giving cytotoxic chemotherapy to suppress certain cells. Radiation therapy was born in 1898.
