Prostate Cancer: The Pitfalls of Conventional Assessments

Protate cancer testing

By Donnie Yance

Questioning Conventional Screening Approaches

According to the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) analysis of two major randomized clinical trials, routine Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening prevents approximately one prostate cancer-related death per 1,000 men screened.¹ This sobering statistic challenges the historical perception of PSA screening as an essential preventive measure. Moreover, recent studies suggest that the psychological burden and financial costs of widespread PSA screening may outweigh its limited mortality benefits. Many of these biopsies turn out to be unnecessary, causing anxiety and discomfort for patients that in some cases plagues a man for the rest of his life.

I am not of the opinion that men should not test their PSA. However, I do believe PSA testing should include more comprehensive testing methods, including PSA total and free percentage, along with several new urine tests that are considered even more accurate than a biopsy. Also keep in mind that healthy PSA ranges differ for each man. In other words, my healthy range may be different from your healthy range, and prostate enlargement and prostatitis both can cause elevated PSAs.

When Sound Waves Become Healing Waves: Understanding Histotripsy

histotripsy shattering cancer cells

By Donnie Yance

As a musician and composer, I’ve always been fascinated by the power of sound. We know sound waves can shatter glass, create beautiful music, and even help babies develop in the womb. But what if I told you that precisely controlled sound waves could also destroy cancer cells while leaving surrounding healthy tissue completely untouched?

This isn’t science fiction, it’s a revolutionary medical treatment called histotripsy. Think of it as ultra-precise microsurgery, but without a single incision. No scalpels. No radiation. Just carefully focused sound waves that work with remarkable precision.

COVID-19 Infection Triggers An Anti-Tumor Immune Response In Some Cancer Patients. Part 2: Traditional Herbal Medicine- The Immune System’s Secret Weapon

By Donnie Yance   

Traditional Herbal Medicine (THM) is very different from using isolated plant compounds. Using isolates to treat cancer is a more allopathic approach and not at all part of a holistic whole-systems model based in THM practice. 

THM is based on a concept of whole plants having synergy as well as intelligence (Plant Intelligence). Examples of plant intelligence include key features that involve the ability to problem-solve in a flexible manner, anticipate the future, store memory, learn, communicate, and ultimately, be goal-oriented.1

I am thrilled to introduce you to The Mederi Center’s new healing room experience, which harnesses the combined therapeutic powers of vibroacoustic therapy, music, and specialized infrared light. If you don’t live near the Center in Ashland, Oregon, you may be able to seek out similar technologies offered at other healing centers.

Good Vibrations

The entire universe resonates with vibrations—some audible, others felt only through our bodies. This fundamental truth forms the foundation of our innovative approach to healing. Though it may seem ephemeral, the power of sound and vibration carries remarkable healing potential. 

Beyond their aesthetic beauty, sound waves interact with our bodies at the cellular level, influencing our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This understanding has led us to develop a comprehensive sound healing program that integrates advanced physics and biological principles to promote holistic health.

What You Need To Know About IV Vitamin C and Cancer Seen Through The Lens Of Mederi-Care

By Donnie Yance 

“The noblest foundation for medicine is love.  It is love that teaches us the art of healing. Without love true healing can never be born.” – Paracelsus 

Intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy, which most often includes vitamins, minerals, and sometimes botanical isolates has become very popular these days. IV vitamin C and cancer is a big topic in the world today. In very specific circumstances IV vitamin therapy can be excellent for people who have digestive disorders that prevent proper absorption of nutrients; however, don’t be fooled into thinking that this is an all-natural holistic medicine. It is extremely invasive, and at the massive pharmacological doses used, I don’t believe it’s good for you. We need to get back to gentle nourishing medicine that supports innate healing in a more unitive way.

Plant Medicine Can be a Powerful Ally for Cancer Patients

Improving Cell Metabolism with Botanical Compounds

Healthy cell metabolism or normal cellular metabolism is when the chemical reactions that occur in living cells are working properly. Our bodies are made up of over 37 trillion human cells: 37,200,000,000,000. For our bodies to work right, our cells must engage in healthy cell metabolism. Plant medicine can be a powerful ally for cancer patients.
