30 Years of Treating Cancer Naturally: What Actually Works | Dr. Gez Agolli

Dr. Gez Agolli has spent nearly 30 years using integrative medicine to treat cancer, autoimmune disease, and chronic illness — and what he's found challenges almost everything conventional medicine teaches about healing. Josh calls him one of his top two mentors in functional medicine, and this conversation covers the full protocol: terrain, toxicity, advanced therapies, and why testing matters more than guessing. In This Episode: - Why toxicity — not just genetics — is the #1 root cause of cancer right now, and what 3.3 billion pounds of environmental chemicals are doing to the body's terrain - How hyperthermia, high-dose vitamin C (the right kind), and hyperbaric oxygen work together — and which chemotherapy drugs make hyperbaric oxygen contraindicated - What insulin potentiation therapy (IPT) actually does: using fractionated chemo alongside glucose to target cancer cells directly - The circulating tumor cell tests and liquid biopsy markers (including Signatera and ctDNA) that can predict cancer recurrence 6–12 months before a scan shows anything - Why leaky gut is the root cause of autoimmune disease — and what Dr. Agolli's testing protocol reveals that most doctors never order - The glutathione, F2-isoprostane, and GGT markers that measure oxidative stress at the cellular level, and what happens when you address them Chapters: - "00:00:00" – Intro: Cancer Stats & Meeting Dr. Guez Agolli - "00:02:47" – His Origin Story & the Broken Healthcare System - "00:06:50" – What Cancer Is: Cell Biology & Root Causes - "00:13:46" – Sponsor Break: Heal Yourself Book - "00:14:31" – Parasites, Immune System & Terrain Theory - "00:19:57" – Advanced Cancer Testing: The RGCC (Greek) Test - "00:25:38" – Top Cancer Therapies: Hyperthermia, IPT & the 40-Day Protocol - "00:39:26" – Sponsor Break: Health Institute Bloodwork - "00:40:27" – Testing Philosophy: Micronutrients, Food Sensitivities & Glucose - "00:54:44" – Glutathione, Longevity & Reversing Autoimmune Disease - "01:05:12" – Mitochondria, Closing Thoughts & Closing Uncover what’s really going on in your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, thyroid, and metabolism— plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor! → http://mybloodwork.com *Disclaimer: The bloodwork our team runs at mybloodwork.com covers a handful of the biomarkers listed in the guide above — including critical thyroid and metabolic markers — plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor, but does NOT cover all 25.
