Doctors are requesting objective, scientific study to explore novel approaches to cancer research and therapies.
ATLANTA—A consortium of medical doctors has raised questions about the increasing number of cancer cases they’ve observed over the past five years, calling for more research to better understand the phenomenon and suggesting that a new approach to treatment is needed to address it.
The discussion took place at the Independent Medical Alliance conference in Atlanta, Georgia, over the weekend of April 4–6, during a panel discussion moderated by Jan Jekielek, senior editor for The Epoch Times and host of EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders.”
“The concern is when you start looking at some of the urban data that’s out there,” Dr. Ray Page, an oncologist with 30 years of practice, said during the discussion. “Because in my personal experience, over the last few years during COVID, I saw some things that were occurring in my office when the vaccines started for COVID that in my 30 years of practice, it’s like, wow, that’s interesting. Never really seen that before.”
Statistical data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows fewer than 1.8 million cancer diagnoses nationwide in 2021, the most recent data available from the agency.
The National Cancer Institute reported more than 2 million instances of cancer across the country in 2024.
Page described the “strange phenomena,” including aggressive cancers and higher incidents of clotting, as particularly concerning and said that restoring immune systems to balanced states is of paramount importance.
“Because the bottom line, there’s nothing more powerful than turning on your natural immune system to kill the cancer,” Page said.
One leading cancer researcher told the hundreds of attendees—including many practicing medical professionals—that traditional treatment methods, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, fail to address the root cause of cancerous cells by eliminating the stem cells that allow them to form.
“So, not only does radiotherapy not kill the stem cells, it actually enhances the generation,” Dr. Paul Marik, chief medical officer for the medical alliance, said during the discussion. “If you don’t deal with the roots, you just crack down the trees, it’s going to grow back again.”
