Episode 4: Dr. Daniel Thomas on Next Generation Cancer Treatments
On Episode 4 of the Conscious Breathing Podcast with Steve Scott, Dr. Daniel Thomas shows us the next-generation strategies he is successfully using with his cancer patients who come from all over the world to get treatment from him at his medical clinic in the Orlando Florida area. Dr. Thomas is a highly educated, experienced, and forward-thinking physician. For over 30 years, he has helped people all over the world by providing innovative solutions to reverse disease, improve mental and physical vigor, and increase lifespan. His expertise is in the practical application of cutting-edge biomedical research. Dr. Thomas spends 20-30 hours a week poring over the latest scientific literature in search of promising therapeutic strategies. In this show, he goes over his 8 step treatment protocol. You’ll learn why the most aggressive tumors are hypoxic and how carbon dioxide treatments may be an effective tool in the battle against cancer. If you or a loved one has cancer, make sure to listen to the entire show and learn some strategies you may have never heard of before. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:01:19 Breathing with the Relaxator 00:01.51 Introducing Dr. Daniel Thomas 00:02:53 Dr. Daniels Tomas’ background & how he got interested in cancer 00:04:39 The reason for reading science journals instead of medical journals 00:05:48 The Gerson Institute nutritional therapy 00:06:39 The history of the Gerson Therapy 00:09:37 What is the cause of cancer?
