Stage IV Cancer, Study

Well, thank you all for coming in. Thank you, Frank and Maureen, for another outstanding program. I think it's been coming about 20 years, Frank. And then presenting for about 10 or so every other year at least.

Why Doctor Forsythe became a Homeopath

But one of our one of my goals, when I jumped the fence from conventional oncology in the mid 90s and became a homeopath passed by boards in Nevada, it gave me the latitude to do outcome based studies. And I knew at the time that the only way conventional colleagues of mine would ever accept any kind of complementary alternative or integrative therapies was to get data from a number of cases. And right now I have fourteen hundred cases patients. Ninety six months over an eight year study. Now, conventional oncology won't go beyond five years because they don't want to see the results and the results that are in the literature. And this is from the 2004 Journal of Clinical Oncology are pretty disappointing. In the United States, a hundred and fifty thousand patients retrospective study. Showing two point one percent survival, two out of a hundred. In all stage four cancers. A parallel study in the same article that in Australia was 70000 patients in a retrospective study. Two point three percent. Very similar statistics. Our current study at eight years, fourteen hundred patients, 70 percent, 70 percent survive.

So we know. But the problem is they don't want to really hear about it either, actually, and this is a true story gone to some of the major hospitals, presented my data. They looked it over, shook their heads. How could you possibly have done this study with a three man practice in your staff? And, you know, he's looked at me right now.

And they said, you know, our cancer center is the engine that drives this hospital. And why would we want to change anything we do? So I took it to the Reno papers where I'm from. And they published it on the front page. And of course, then a few weeks later, I got a letter from their lawyer saying I was slandering them Liveline. So that's how it works. They don't want to know. So we all know what that's about.

So this is just a disclaimer. These are pretty routine things and you might ask, how do we how does someone become an integrative oncology? I went to Berkeley. I went to UCSF in San Francisco. I joined the army in my senior year because I ran out of money. They sent me to the Presidio Letterman Army Hospital. And then the Vietnam War was
