Rethink My Health: Functional Approaches to Cancer Therapies

In this episode of the Rethink My Health podcast, Dr. Gez Agolli and Dr. Cheryl Burdette dive deep into the pressing issue of rising cancer diagnoses and deaths both in the U.S. and globally. The hosts analyze current cancer statistics, offering insight into the factors that could be driving this alarming trend, including environmental toxins, lifestyle choices, and stress on the immune system. As the world faces increasing cancer rates, they challenge listeners to consider why conventional approaches may not be enough.

The episode takes a functional medicine perspective, emphasizing the importance of treating cancer patients with personalized, integrative therapies. Dr. Agolli and Dr. Burdette explore powerful functional interventions, focusing on IV therapies such as High Dose Vitamin C, Curcumin, Poly MVA, and Alpha Lipoic Acid. These treatments, often overlooked by traditional medicine, have shown promise in supporting cancer patients by reducing inflammation, supporting immune function, and improving overall quality of life.

In addition to advanced IV therapies, the discussion turns to the critical role of nutrition and building a supportive medical team. The doctors emphasize that cancer patients need more than just oncological care—they need a holistic plan that supports the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Dr. Agolli and Dr. Burdette shine a spotlight on the expert team at Progressive Medical Center, known for combining cutting-edge functional medicine with compassionate, patient-centered care.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the importance of integrating functional and conventional approaches in cancer treatment. From the science behind alternative IV therapies to the impact of nutrition and holistic care, Dr. Agolli and Dr. Burdette provide actionable insights for both patients and caregivers.
