In this groundbreaking episode, Georgi Dinkov shares astonishing updates on his cancer research that directly challenges the mainstream cancer treatment model. We dive deep into the real role of estrogen and androgens in cancer development, why modern treatments may be doing more harm than good, and how Georgi’s self-funded studies are showing tumor regression — without relying on toxic therapies. If you're interested in true root-cause healing, bioenergetics, and the future of cancer therapy, this conversation is a must-listen. Stay tuned for how vitamins, aspirin, pregnenolone, progesterone, and a different perspective on energy metabolism are changing everything we thought we knew.
