Whole Seeds, Nutrition
In this video, Bradford Weeks spends about 25 minutes speaking on "Whole Seeds, Nutrition" at the 43rd 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.

All right, welcome. Thank you very much. All right. Just a quick question. We started here. How many of you, when you eat an apple, eat the seeds. So congratulations, you know. So you put this in a regular group of people in America, we'd get very few answers, but we're going to talk about eating the seeds. And I'm going to give you some science and I'm going to give you some good information, because the concept is we understand that food is our first medicine. The saying is if the food's not good, the medicines worthless. And if the food is good, the medicines are worthless. But you have to eat the right foods and we're going to make the point that the whole ground up seed. Not the extracted seed oil, but the whole ground of seed is the most nutrient dense and medicinal food on Earth. So the goals for today are to encourage you all and your loved ones to eat the crushed whole raw, organic, non GMO seeds. And I'm going to want to demonstrate the superiority of eating the crushed seeds to buying extracted seed oils. We're going to touch on the fact that inflammation is what kills us. One of the seeds we feature, Black Cuminseed in the in the Koran, the Prophet Mohammed said the black cuminseed cures everything but death. OK. It's pretty, pretty high praise. And now we know that inflammation is what kills us. It turns out that the black cuminseed is one of the most powerful antiinflammatory seeds on Earth. Next, we're going to talk about how cancer spreads by inflammation. If you didn't understand that this is critically important because the primary cancer rarely kills anybody. It can grow and it can obstruct a vessel or a bronchial or something, but for the most part it's the metastatic disease which kills people. And the metastatic process is an inflammatory process. I'm going to give you some information today that in nature, in the premier scientific journals, they're moving away from chemo and radiation and towards anti inflammatories. That's big news. In fact, there was something published just yesterday that I have to share with you. And then I'm going to remind you what I spoke about last year and a couple of years ago, that it's the cancer stem cells which are the target. Please, please, please remember this. The cancer stem cells are lethal. The cancer tumor cells are not. Chemo and radiation kills the cancer tumor cells. It makes the cancer stem cells more numerous and more virulent. So we're gonna have to really underscore that again. And lastly, I'm going to share with
