The Future of Cancer Research | Freethink

Intel employee Bryce Olson was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. When the standard of care didn't work, Bryce turned to genomic sequencing which allowed his doctors to identify specific genetic drivers of his disease and identify specific treatments and clinical trials that were a fit for his specific cancer. This precision medicine approach helped send his cancer into remission for several years.

Now that his cancer has returned, Bryce is working with the Broad Institute and other leaders in the field of advanced cancer research to use artificial intelligence powered by Intel technology to discover new, innovative solutions that can help him and millions of others like him around the world.

This video was produced in partnership with Intel.

This channel really is underrated. It’s very informative and I’m learning about things that I would’ve never heard about if it wasn’t for this channel’s existence. Thank you, Freethink team! ^^

[chappy]

Boggles me how this channel doesn’t have more attention it’s very short but packed with info, I’ve never not been bored with any of these videos

[johnermin]

I'm exactly who this video is talking about. Stage IV, already spread to my brain. Chemo, radiation, surgeries, immunotherapy; none of it working. Now my insurance company won't approve PET scans to determine if a treatment worked or not, because its better for them if I'd just die already. So who exactly am I "demanding" genetic sequencing from? All I have are my doctors, and they're run by insurance rules. I appreciate you posting this video, but it's definitely giving a false sense of hope. For those of us who don't work for Intel, and live in the American healthcare system, what do we do? If you're going to tell me to do something, follow through and tell me what to do. I'm serious. I'll demand anything. Tell me who I could possibly demand it from.

Freethink never disappoints. No bullshit. Pure information. What I love is how they engage in a way that you feel concerned and connected.

Bryce is still alive and continuing his work 👍

[DragonRazor]

This is the type of channel that I expect to have millions of subscribers, but there aren’t enough! Keep up the work, Freethink

i got this ad when i was about to watch dog memes
and now i feel like i've missed out on life
thank you so much for this

My dad was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and at that time we're losing hope since we know that cancer doesn't have a cure. Thankfully his cancer was controlled but he's still continually going through check-ups to make sure it doesn't grow again. This gives us another option if it recurs. Thank you for sharing this information as this is very helpful. Please continue making videos like this and I love your channel!

If Bryce can see this message, i'll be thrilled. I've been studying the biochemistry and pathophysiology of cancer and other diseases for a while now, and i'm on my way to medical school to pursue medicine in a family medicine clinic. More specificially, I've been researching epigenetics and nutragenomics, and the tenets of functional medicine, which are nutrition, fitness, sleeping habits, stress management, toxicity, gut microbiome, emotional/mental health, and several other factors. I was also able to help my dad reverse his prostate cancer using a variety of protocols, which is actually what jump started my research interest in these fields of study. It turns out that even if someone is genetically predisposed to a disease such as cancer, epigenetics and nutragenomics shows that the genes can either be turned on or kept off, and that actually determines the degree to which it can develop into cancer. Some of the things that can turn these genes on include smoking, alcohol, a poor diet, environmental toxicity, stress, and several others. This research with genomic sequencing is all well and good, but the aforementioned factors are what cancer patients must address in order to get to the root cause of their disease, and it's very similar with other diseases. Pharmaceutical approaches to most diseases don't work because they often don't address the root cause, and also - in Bryce's case, resistance can occur. Chemo and radiation, as well as several other drugs also usually don't kill the cancer stem cells, as they are often resistant. This is a huge issue! As a result, the cancer usually recurs, and usually at a more aggressive rate. One thing that I would recommend Bryce to do is to go on a raw food plant based diet (as close to 100% raw as possible), with lots of juicing/smoothies. The reason is that plant based foods/herbs/spices contain a myriad of compounds that obliterate cancer cells in a variety of ways. They include: interrupting the signal cascade pathway for proliferation, angiogenesis, and promoting apoptosis. There are several other mechanisms, this is just the tip of the iceberg. One of my favorite of such compounds is Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, and is one of the most potent of all of these compounds. It has been shown to kill cancer cells via all of these mechanisms! To note, Piperine, the compound in black pepper as well as some kind of fatty acid is critical for bioavailability. I could go on about so many other compounds, and other tips in general, but this comment would be extremely long, lol. Thetruthaboutcancer.com, chrisbeatcancer.com, cancertutor.com, and several others are good websites to research various ways to tackle cancer. A lot of it is nutrition based, which only makes sense. After all, most pharmaceutical drugs are derived from nature. We have only scratched the surface discovering the medicinal values of plants, herbs, spices, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, etc. Bryce, if you could contact me, that would be great. I would love to share various resources to help you! Keep up the good work, and God bless, you will be in my prayers! I'm glad I saw this video :)

I saw this video as an ad and this is amazing.

[ChituProtimBoruah]

I've shared this to a lot of friends of mine..This channel deserves this and even more . Glad to be a subscriber of a channel which is gonna have a million subscribers very soon !!

[reculate]

You see there is a side of me thinking what if he didn't accomplish things in time and that's why I'm in tears.

[Sid_Kill]

Who else is here after Technoblades death from cancer? Cancer has taken so many lives of some wonderful people, i hope we can all see a day where we treat all cancer types successfully. RIP Techno ❤️

[ladyxstasy]

I love your commercials. All the doctors. Of the world are absolutely. Wonderful.

[EternalDestiny]

Awesome video and channel! Who edits or produces your videos?

[metaltwist]

I don't understand why anyone would dislike this video

[rik]

Great video and very informative. Sad that many cancer patients may not even know about advanced genomic sequencing, and their doctors don't mention it either.

[LEGENDARYPISO]

Very impormative and can save most of cancer deaths

[rebeccaerb]

This is amazing and I believe there are ways!

[mikehebert]

Wow 10/10 this is TV level production and wholesome! Very good video
