Cancer, Prevention and Booster Shots
Updated April 3rd 2025 - Additional references
Cancer is an issue close to my heart, being a cancer survivor. And so I take cancer prevention very seriously. If my cancer returns, it’s likely a death sentence. The survival rate of returning cancers is very low, because it generally reappears in different organs from where it originated (metastasized). Developing a new cancer is not as life threatening as a returning cancer. And since I am a survivor, I need to be proactive to prevent a recurrence.
Generally, cancer is not a popular topic of discussion, unless someone has dealt with it. But with the rise in cancers among young people the last two years, I think it's time we all learn a little bit more about it. Below, I list the most potent nutraceuticals, that have helped me remain cancer free for ten years now, backed up with the evidence found in the scientific literature. Also the recent research that might help explain this uptick in cancers among the younger population.
My personal cancer story was probably as easy as it comes, as far as having cancer. I had colon cancer and that generally has no symptoms to speak of. No feeling sick or being fatigued or anything. I was playing basketball 3 days before my surgery, with a tumor the size of a baseball inside my colon, and I had no idea it was there. I was lucky. That is why a colonoscopy is so important for older adults. With colon cancer you have no clue it is there until it is too late. That is unless someone looks for it. My tumor was quite large, so it showed up readily in an x-ray. And when it was discovered, I was lucky enough that it wasn't that advanced (stage 2b). That basically meant it breached the colon just a bit but didn't spread. So they surgically removed it, and I didn't need any chemo or radiation. My case was considered very successful.
But afterwards,... you can bet I researched all I could on the subject. That's when I learned about the death sentence of returning cancers. Also learned about my 5 year survival rate. I was shocked to learn that, with my type and stage of cancer, I had between a 1 in 3 and 1 in 4 chance of not making it 5 years. With my surgeon telling me everything went very well, I would have thought my odds of surviving 5 years would be much better than that.
What people don't realize, is that cancer is brewing inside of us, throughout our lives. It originates from within. When our cells replicate, sometimes mistakes are made, even when we are healthy and fit. And when these mistakes are recognized by our immune cells, they quickly destroy them. Surveillance is a major chore of our innate immune cells. They patrol around the body, shaking hands with various cells asking them, are you friend or foe. There are tens of billions of these cells on patrol. And if they encounter an irregular or abnormal cell, they know to destroy it quickly before it multiplies and becomes a much larger problem. Cancer cells grow much more rapidly than most cells. So our killer T cells are constantly on the lookout. And when they get suppressed, that's when cancers arise, dormant viruses reawaken, and bacterial or fungal infections take hold.
And this is one of the concerns following boosters (multiple vaccinations). They are likely to cause immune suppression, specifically that of T-cells. This is what oncologists and doctors are reporting. In fact, most onc’s are asking patients when they had their last booster shot, as it is now highly correlated with reemerging cancers and reactivated viral pathogens. It is now widely accepted, that repeated vaccinations, generally 3 shots or more, reduce immunity. They still boost antibody production (more on that below), but alarmingly suppress T-cells responsible for surveillance. It's like having your guards in the watchtower asleep, while irregular, abnormal, or atypical enemies of the state, usually under a watchful eye and kept under control, escaping the compound to mount an attack elsewhere. This is a good analogy that explains the rise in Shingles, Epson Barr (Mono), and other such dormant viruses reawakening. This also explains the re-emergence of cancers like lymphoma, melanoma and leukemia that have long been somewhat successfully controlled.
I saw an interview recently of a highly esteemed Oncologist, and he said something that was quite interesting. He's been working on cancer vaccine development for close to 30 years. And he and others came across a vaccine that boosted T-cell responses, without affecting antibodies. The vaccine was a heat killed bacterium injected into the arms of patients. Anyway, he found that patients deficient in vitamin D didn't benefit from the vaccine. And that once the deficiency was corrected, their response to the vaccine improved and their T-cells responded. And he also got feedback from his patients, that they no longer caught any winter colds or viruses. And this was a big revelation for me. Because I am having the same response supplementing nutrients. So it seems in both cases immunity is being boosted, most likely due to T-cells responding.
This is a great insight for me. It tells me that my supplementation all these years, really does have great benefits. Because if I am no longer catching colds like these cancer patients, I know it is also keeping cancer cells at bay with a strong surveillance. And why not. It makes perfect sense. If my immunity is guarding against viruses that cause colds, why wouldn't it be doing the same guarding against precancerous cells?
This is a great eye opener into the benefits of supplementing nutrients. If it is preventing colds, like it has for me, you can bet it is preventing many other things as well. I have written extensively, how our immunity is hampered by a vitamin D deficiency. And this oncologist just confirmed this. The vaccine was of no help without sufficient levels of vitamin D. And our immunity requires many nutrients besides vitamin D to function optimally. So I feel really good, I was on the right path, all this time, in improving wellness by being proactive. Making sure my body got all the nutrients it requires to function at a high level to keep cancer at bay.
And I'll know in the future if my immunity is waning, if I start developing colds again, like I did in the past before supplementing. I can count on one hand, how many colds I had in the last 10 years. Compare that to getting sick quite frequently, laying me up for weeks at a time is a night and day difference.

Iodine is important for breast health. Did you know, no virus or bacteria can survive in the presence of iodine? Iodine used to be called the miracle in a bottle. It was in every medicine cabinet before aspirin arrived. Iodine has been shown to prevent and used as a treatment for breast cancer. Those living by the ocean shore are generally not short of iodine, as it is abundant in fish, seaweed and the ocean water. But the rest of us,.... are cutting back on our salt intake which was fortified with Iodine. And what Iodine we do get, first gets used up by the thyroid, mammary and prostate glands. So ideally, you want to get enough to saturate those glands and have its anti-viral properties spill over to the rest of the body. They did a study long ago putting iodine on the noses of mice in a virus laden environment and showed it protected them from getting infected. Iodine: the Forgotten Weapon Against Influenza Viruses

These nutrients and meds work best prophylactically (prevention). Some are also used as adjuvants to chemo. So some have therapeutic benefits as well. But best of all, these nutraceuticals have a wide range of benefits for the entire body and health in general. Plus all the ones I listed here, happen to have excellent safety profiles. As in first do no harm. It is always better to have many layers of protection, coming from many different angles, fielding various biological pathways.
Some of these nutraceuticals act directly on tumors and cancer cells. Others have indirect benefits. CoQ10 and D3 greatly enhance immune function. CoQ10 is involved in energy production and cancer cells need a lot of energy. So it is not surprising cancer patients are depleted in CoQ10. But while cancer cells need energy, so do highly active immune cells. And studies show a great enhancement of immune function when given CoQ10. This is also why CoQ10 has won a Nobel Prize for heart health. The heart needs a lot of energy to function.
Here are some of the concerns from doctors, on repeated vaccinations lowering immunity...
Dr. Ryan Cole: The Dangers Of COVID-19 Spike Proteins From Wildfire Cancers To Foot-Long Clots
Much of the research on this recent rise in cancers and its correlation with repeated vaccinations, is centered on a specific antibody, named IgG4....
"IgG4 has a unique set of properties compared with the other IgG subclasses that has led to IgG4 being widely regarded as an anti-inflammatory, ‘benign’ antibody that may have beneficial functions in allergic disease However, evidence is accumulating that IgG4 also has a pathogenic role in a range of diseases. Research in the past decade has shown that IgG4 can have detrimental roles in IgG4 autoimmune diseases, in tumor immunology and in IgG4-related diseases...... IgG4 is not commonly part of the antibody response to bacterial or viral infection." The unique properties of IgG4 and its roles in health and disease (Netherlands 2023)
"Emerging evidence suggests that the reported increase in IgG4 levels detected after repeated vaccination with the mRNA vaccines may not be a protective mechanism; rather, it constitutes an immune tolerance mechanism to the spike protein that could promote unopposed SARS-CoV2 infection and replication by suppressing natural antiviral responses. Increased IgG4 synthesis due to repeated mRNA vaccination with high antigen concentrations may also cause autoimmune diseases, and promote cancer growth and autoimmune myocarditis in susceptible individuals." IgG4 Antibodies Induced by Repeated Vaccination May Generate Immune Tolerance to the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein (Mexico 2023)
"IgG4 is considered an anti-inflammatory IgG with low potential to mediate Fc-dependent effector function such as ADCC or ADCP [two ways immune cells kill/destroy]..… There are very few reports on the induction of IgG4 after natural infection with SARS-CoV-2. The dominant subclasses were mostly IgG1 and IgG3..… In our study, antibody-mediated phagocytic activity and complement deposition were reduced in sera after the third immunization, in parallel to higher proportions of IgG4 antibodies...... Because Fc-mediated effector function could be critical for viral clearance, an increase in IgG4 subclasses might result in longer viral persistence in case of infection....." Class switch toward noninflammatory IgG4 antibodies after repeated SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination (Germany 2022)
What is even more alarming than repeated vaccinations raising IgG4 levels that suppress T-cell function,... is that viral infections also further increase immune suppression amongst these individuals. So not only do these boosters not protect you from becoming infected, they make subsequent viral infections much more troublesome. Reducing your immunity even further. Exactly the opposite you would think a booster shot would do. It is weakening your defenses not only to clear the existing viral load, but also reducing the measures that keep other viruses and pathogens in check. This includes precancerous cells and/or cancers that are normally manageable, no longer impeded and allowed to spread like wildfire. Hence the new term called turbo cancer.
Here is a doctor specializing in genomic sequencing, going over the recent research, showing how repeated vaccinations and then subsequent infections further increasing IgG4 levels in the body.... IgG4 post mRNA shots summary of all evidence - YouTube (Oct. 2023)
Update: There are now 14 studies on IgG4s increasing post multiple mRNA vaccinations. Last one is on toddlers. Dr. Mikolaj Raszek now has a playlist of 24 videos, reviewing these studies and what influence they have on immunity and cancer. One in particular, is his own study summarizing the available evidence. If there was only one video you have time for, it should be this one…. IgG4 role in cancer - Dr. Raszek’s own publication (IgG4 part 17) - YouTube
This rise in IgG4 antibodies shown in studies, is seen exclusively with mRNA vaccines only. It is not seen with other vaccines.
What is interesting about IgG4, is that antibodies are generally created to target foreign proteins/antigens for elimination. They attach themselves to the intruder, to signal immune cells to come and destroy it. So it is interesting that this antibody works contrary to this premise. This makes it no surprise that IgG4's are the least abundant antibodies found in the body. Which is why alarms are raised when they are elevated. This generally suggests there is something going on that is concerning,... i.e.. an allergic reaction, or an autoimmunity, etc... It does seem to be of benefit with allergies being anti-inflammatory, but we know less about IgG4 than we would like.
We knew for awhile now, that these experimental, untested mRNA vaccines were toxic and causing great harm. But now we see some mechanisms that greatly increase this danger with repeated vaccinations.
Stay safe and be well....
