Testimonial 1

I am writing this letter to document Toxicity-Free Immuno-Chemo saving my life not once, but twice, with 2 different unrelated cancers years later: Late stage III b inoperable Bladder Cancer and Early stage IV Colon Cancer. In my personal observations over the years my various doctors seemed to be quite biased and skeptical even after me surviving two deadly cancers because they are not considered the “standard” treatment. I looked carefully at the survival statistics of chemo, radiation and chemo-radiation with cancer still present post-surgery and spoke to several MD specialists who gave their realistic prognosis of my specific cancer and it was very difficult to accept. I began searching for something with better odds for 5-year survival.

I discovered Toxicity-Free Chemo in 2015 when I was searching for treatment that might have better odds than standard chemo. Their website did not list Bladder Cancer as a type of cancer he treated. I booked an appointment with them in person and got a great first impression. The doctor seemed more knowledgeable than my other MDs that I consulted with. He mentioned that he did not treat bladder cancer and recommended standard treatment with chemo, radiation or chemo-radiation. I pleaded with him to reconsider, since I had just got married after my Bladder Cancer surgery at Stanford but, it quickly recurred only a couple of months later. I had nothing to lose and after doing a background search on the lead doctor and I discovered that he was involved in donating his time to free medical clinics for the poor in the Oakland\Berkeley area for many years and a political activist. I felt that he was credible and not some local MD trying to prey upon cancer patients for profit with no real chance of a remission or cure.

A couple of days later, I was contacted by their staff and that they would bring me in as a patient as their first bladder cancer patient. My other specialists were skeptical, but offered me nothing but standard chemo, with poor 5-year survival. 2 MDs at a large cancer clinic both told me that in their many years of oncology and radiation experience it was realistic to try for another year or two before dying.

I began Toxicity-Free Chemo treatments and they were dramatically gentler and more tolerable with only mild nausea for a couple days that subsided. After my 3rd or 4th infusion I was feeling terrible jabbing pains in my bladder and the Toxicity-Free Chemo doctor told me that Toxicity-Free Chemo causes inflammation in the tumor site causing pain and discomfort while it is killing the tumor. I went for a walk nearby the clinic and got some lunch and, on the way back to the clinic to get my next carboplatin infusion every step was excruciating jabbing pain. I was thinking if this didn’t stop I wasn’t sure I wanted to live like this anymore. I felt the strong urge to urinate and went to the bathroom urinal and realized I was blocked and began to panic. Then I pushed my very hardest and a large chunk of dead tumor popped out and then another large chunk then I urinated freely and the jabbing pains stopped. I saved the chunks, took pictures and gave them to my [urology] doctor and he looked at it under a microscope and had me bring it to the lab. It was confirmed to be large clumps of dead or dying cancer cells. My experienced urologist and oncology surgeon that gave me the prognosis of inoperable with little chance for survival could not believe what he saw. All the tumors inside my bladder looked dead and turned from pink to brown. My Toxicity-Free Chemo doctor continued the Toxicity-Free Chemo infusions and was very thorough and monitored my blood tests very carefully and kept in constant contact with me for any updates on my status and timing of next infusions. He ordered CT scans that showed the tumors on the outside of my bladder and seminal vesicles were literally gone. Taylor MD my Urologist Oncology Surgeon did another follow-up check and said that in his 30-year career he never saw anything like this and all the multiple tumors in the bladder were all gone. My Toxicity-Free Chemo doctor recommended to not surgically remove the chest port and continued monitoring me along with Taylor MD for over 5 years without any cancer recurrence. Today, I am still in complete remission after over 10 years. But, I still re-live the day I was walking up my stairs inside my house and it hitting me like a ton of bricks that I was really dying young right after getting married to the love of my life and I clung to the bannister and froze for several minutes with butterflies in my stomach and feeling faint.

My wife and I owe everything to Toxicity-Free Immuno-Chemo treatments. They provided care at a level I never experienced before not even from Stanford Cancer Center in Palo Alto, CA.

Unfortunately, I put off getting my first colonoscopy by putting my career first after the long bladder cancer battle and remission monitoring and right before Xmas 2018 my local Gastroenterologist confirmed by biopsy that I had a large colon cancer tumor with invasion into the blood and lymphatic vessels. He recommended immediate colon resection surgery in January 2019. Enlarged distant lymph nodes were noted on the CT scan and I went back to my Toxicity-Free Chemo doctor and began Toxicity-Free Chemo with Carboplatin and also included Gemcitabine treatments. We completed many cycles of Toxicity-Free Chemo and then he ordered a CT scan and the liver, lungs and lymph nodes did not show any cancer. The CT scans were repeated head to toe after quite some time and still showed no sign of cancer recurrence. After 7 years I am still in complete remission hoping for the best, but knowing I could be treated with Toxicity-Free Chemo if the cancer ever came back again provided me with hope and strength to go on with my life.

Again, my wife and I owed my life a 2nd time to Toxicity-Free Immuno-Chemotherapy.

We understand that most patients with late stage cancer are not likely to survive with any treatments available, including Toxicity-Free Chemo. But, I would be most distraught if the cancer was ever to recur or god forbid a new type of cancer emerged and Toxicity-Free Chemo was not available in the USA someday in the future when I need it to save me again.

We are reproducing the following testimonial because this 46 years old mother's cancer was probably the most advanced case we had treated. Wanting to avoid the horrendous side effects of chemotherapy, this patient continued to worsen until her breast cancer had spread to the lungs, the liver, bones, intestine, skin on her chest, and elsewhere. She was seen at the University of California in Los Angeles where tubing was placed into her chest cavity to drain fluid that was accumulating due to the growth of her cancer cells. After a few months of weekly Toxicity-Free Chemo treatments, she sent the following progress report, which was so remarkable we are reproducing here with her permission.

Fluid 

For this month the color of fluid is lighter.

The texture of skin nodules is smoother, they are soft. I don’t feel any hard ones any more. The nodules keep getting shrunk in size. There is some swelling on 3 nodules around the wound. One of those nodules developed a small wound but it healed within 4 days.

There were 2 smaller wounds outside the main one. They are both now closed and covered by skin. These 2 did not heal for 6 months. 

We are noticing that the part of the main wound near my sternum is starting to cover up with skin slowly. The same for the part near my left shoulder.

What I noticed is that I am more fluid in my movements. My left arm mobility has improved significantly. My neck is more mobile. My overall posture has improved. I feel stronger and do more, move more, sit for longer periods. I interact with my kids more, talk a lot, laugh, have fun.

The following testimonial came from Alberta, Canada

I am happy to share my experiences with Toxicity-Free Immuno-Chemo in 2020-2021.

I was diagnosed with a second occurrence of triple negative breast cancer in 2017. I treated it in Canada with standard of care treatments augmented by naturopathic treatments to minimize the side effects, and was considered NED in 2018. Unfortunately, a metastatic tumor was found in my brain a few months later. As you are aware, standard of care for brain metastasis involves surgery and/or radiation. I had both, with limited success. The Canadian medical team had very few options for me. On the third craniotomy, I had the tumor sent for analysis to help understand what would kill it, and learned that a certain chemotherapy combination would offer a very high chance of success. Unfortunately nobody in Canada would treat me with that combination, since it was not the standard of care for a brain tumor. The Toxicity-Free Chemo team looked at my history, and after multiple consultations, offered me a treatment program with Toxicity-Free Immuno-Chemotherapy.

When I arrived for my treatment on the West Coast, I was unable to drive and still had difficulty walking from the side effects of the radiation. After 4 treatments, I responded so well that I was functioning normally, and walking easily over an hour a day. I experienced no side effects other than neutrophil decline that we treated appropriately. In fact, I was able to work remotely in a professional role almost full time. The Toxicity-Free Chemo treatments allowed me to get more carboplatin than I would ever have been able to through traditional treatment. I had 12 sessions in total, and remain symptom-free to this day. I honestly wish this had been available to me as a first line of treatment.

I have to add how impressed I was with the level of compassion and care I received during treatment. When I needed medication to boost my neutrophil count, my doctor actually drove some over to me. He realized how expensive this was for me as a Canadian and did his best to minimize costs. Most importantly, he took the time to answer all of my questions, and carefully considered any of my concerns or thoughts that I had throughout my treatment. I have seen a lot of doctors and specialists but I have never had a doctor spend time with me like that. His level of care is second to none. Thank you for this!

A 38 years old Australian with a usually fatal type of breast cancer was successfully treated with Toxicity-Free Chemo in 2016 and remains cancer-free today. More importantly our treatment team told her to go ahead and get pregnant. She had one son, but desperately wanted a second child, hopefully a daughter. Usually, a patient with a history of breast cancer is advised never to get pregnant because if there is any residual cancer, high estrogen during pregnancy will make the cancer recur. Hers did not. She now regularly sends photos of her beautiful daughter and recently wrote us:

“You made this all possible for me. I am forever grateful for this chance at life you and God gave me and I am not wasting it.”

Testimonial 5

I was already familiar with Toxicity-Free Immuno-Chemotherapy when in August 2025 D&C results showed I had level 1 uterine cancer. My GYN referred me to an oncologist at Frank Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, Washington.

The oncologist was very pleasant, but insistent that I receive a full hysterectomy, which removes the uterus, ovaries, cervix, and tubes. She said that “Standard of care” has a 95% survival rate. I asked if she could leave in my ovaries. But she said it was necessary to remove them for “staging” purposes. Nine years ago a study reported that ovaries remain likely useful for cardiac, bone, and brain health up to age 65. Even though I was 76, I vividly remember my very hard menopause and could not deal with the idea of taking a chance on any extra hormonal changes. I bunted on the decision and asked about a follow-up D&C in 8 months. She warned me not to wait that long and that I could end up having bowel movements out of my vagina. She canceled the operation scheduled for the next week, and as she left looked at me over her shoulder like I was crazy.

Six weeks later I was in Ensenada, Mexico getting my first Toxicity-Free treatment. There’s no point taking out extra body parts just to “stage” your cancer when Toxicity-Free Immuno-Chemo checks every cell of your body and eradicates the cancer it finds.

Before my first treatment I got a baseline CTC (Circulating Tumor Count.) It was higher than the staff thought it should be, but within normal. Prior to each of the 4 weekly treatments I also got a comprehensive blood test. The first blood draw showed everything as normal. Each Toxicity-Free Immuno-Chemo treatment consisted of 1.5 AUC of carboplatin along with carboplatin’s antidote Mesna. After my first treatment my blood draw showed my liver enzymes had tripled. This indicated the carboplatin had likely discovered a tiny metastasis in my liver. When the next three consecutive blood draws were back to normal, and the Toxicity-Free Chemo doctor released me to go home.

A month later I got another CTC that now showed a disconcerting 1,250,000 circulating tumor count, and the Toxicity-Free doctor advised me to get a PET scan to see if cancer had spread. When I finally found an oncologist who listened, I told her my long term use of estrogen patches during my menopause had made my uterus prone to developing cancer, and that my ultimate goal was to get a partial hysterectomy. I wanted to keep my ovaries. She agreed if my ovaries looked healthy she would do a partial hysterectomy. Before the operation and eight weeks after the high CTC I got another circulating tumor count. Now it was back to normal. The pathology report after the partial hysterectomy concluded my uterine cancer had either not grown at all in the eight months since my diagnosis or this was a new stage 1A cancer. The oncologist said everything looked very clean, and she left my ovaries in as they looked completely normal.

It takes 4-6 months before immune therapy tests look normal. My high CTC count was probably caused by all the activity of neutrophils cleaning up dead and dying cancer cells caused by my Toxicity-Free chemo treatment.

Had I gone ahead and gotten a full hysterectomy on the advice I received prior to my Toxic-Free treatment the liver met would not have been discovered for several months when it had already become a serious stage 4 uterine cancer with an 18% chance of survival.

Additional comments and/or status from our patients

A patient who lived in New Brunswick, Canada, reported being able to start two new businesses during her therapy. In addition to starting her businesses she flew repeatedly for a year to the West Coast to receive Toxicity-Free Immuno-Chemotherapy treatments for her stage 4 pancreatic cancer. After finishing her therapy seven years ago she still contacts us occasionally to say hi and report she’s doing well. Typically people are able to continue their work and daily lives while in treatment.

An 84 year old male patient came to us with stage 3B non-small cell lung cancer. He is in remission now over seven years after having only 15 bi-weekly treatments of Toxicity-Free Immuno-Chemotherapy. At the time of his treatment lung patients treated with conventional chemotherapy were expected to live only 8 months.
