8 Cancer Myths: From Contagions to Cures

The Cancer Pod: Integrative Medicine Talk

Everyone has heard a myth or two about cancer (hello, sugar!) The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) published eight "Myths and Facts About Cancer." Some of the myths they brought up were ones we've heard from patients, others...kind of cringey. We thought we should tackle them one by one. Not surprisingly, there is often a vein of truth that keeps these so-called myths alive.
Tina and Leah have decades of experience as naturopathic physicians and have sifted through the data, so you don't have to! Just hit "play" and enjoy the show! We promise it's entertaining, at the very least.
