Dale shares his powerful journey after being diagnosed with advanced esophageal cancer following years of dismissed symptoms. After finally receiving testing that revealed a large primary tumor with metastasis, he was placed on a palliative care pathway and given a limited prognosis. Determined to explore every possible option, Dale began researching extensively and chose to combine conventional treatments like chemotherapy and immunotherapy with evidence-informed complementary therapies and metabolic strategies.

Throughout his treatment, Dale developed a highly personalized, integrative approach that included nutritional therapy, targeted supplementation, lifestyle changes, and therapies designed to support immune function and treatment effectiveness. Despite initial resistance from parts of the medical community, he remained committed to advocating for a collaborative, patient-centered model of care. His dedication led to significant improvement, with his primary tumor disappearing and only minimal residual disease remaining.

Dale now focuses on helping others navigate complex cancer diagnoses by promoting education, personalized treatment planning, and greater access to integrative oncology care. Through his work developing global treatment programs and patient support initiatives, he encourages individuals to actively participate in their healthcare decisions, understand their disease pathways, and confidently advocate for treatment strategies that support both longevity and quality of life.

Dale is the founder of The Clearpath Clinic, The Life Organic Blog, Two charities: Beyond the Standard, and The Pure Serenity Foundation, and has just taken over Peak Health and Fitness - an online health focused retailer.

In this episode of The Cancer Liberation Project, Hayley speaks with Paul about the deeply personal journey that led him to hydrogen-rich water and its role in healing. Paul shares how his wife suffered for years with debilitating menstrual cycles, thyroid dysfunction, anemia, and severe fatigue—symptoms that worsened to the point where he feared losing her. Everything changed when she began drinking hydrogen-rich water, experiencing rapid improvements in energy and resilience, followed by long-term normalization of her cycle, iron levels, and overall health. This experience sparked Paul’s mission to understand the science behind hydrogen and help others facing chronic illness.

Paul explains how hydrogen works at the root of disease by reducing oxidative stress and chronic inflammation—key drivers behind cancer, autoimmune conditions, and metabolic disorders. Unlike traditional antioxidants, hydrogen acts as a selective signal modulator, supporting mitochondrial function, immune response, gut health, and cellular repair without harmful side effects. He discusses how hydrogen has been studied in cancer care, including its ability to support apoptosis, improve energy, and protect the body from chemotherapy-related damage.

The conversation highlights the importance of gut health, environmental toxins, and restoring the body’s natural balance rather than chasing symptoms. Paul shares why not all “hydrogen” water is created equal, how true hydrogen therapy supports the body safely at any age, and why this simple tool can profoundly impact energy, digestion, recovery, and quality of life. His message is clear: when you reduce inflammation, restore balance, and support the body at a foundational level, healing becomes possible.

Ryan is the cofounder along with his wife Teddy, of The Stern Method, a platform informing and inspiring families preventing or reversing cancer to succeed on all fronts.

In May of 2014 their son Ryder was diagnosed with stage four neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer of the nervous system eleven days before his first birthday. Through an integrative approach leaving nothing on the table, and ridding their lives of all possible causes, which included building a non-toxic house in the middle of the woods, today Ryder is thriving.

Along with The Stern Method website and social media presence, Ryan hosts The Anti-Cancer Revolution podcast and online conference series, and is the creator of Going Integrative Plus, a community providing cancer patients, parents and caregivers step by step instruction along with the opportunity to receive guidance directly from the top holistic cancer doctors in the world.

In this episode, Ryan shares his family’s powerful and deeply personal cancer journey. After months of dismissed symptoms, Ryder’s imaging finally revealed a large spinal tumor with metastases. Faced with intense pressure to immediately begin chemotherapy, Ryan and his wife Teddy chose to pursue an integrative approach, advocating fiercely for Ryder while navigating fear, resistance from the medical system, and even threats of child protective services involvement.

Ryder received limited chemotherapy due to medical necessity, but was supported simultaneously with extensive integrative care, including IV vitamin C, targeted nutritional therapy, supplements, detox support, and a healing-focused home environment. Ryder responded far better than expected—secondary tumors disappeared quickly, the primary tumor shrank dramatically, and conventional treatment was stopped far earlier than standard protocol. Over time, continued improvement confirmed the remaining mass as inactive scar tissue, and Ryder is now thriving.

Ryan reflects on the importance of trusting parental intuition, addressing environmental and lifestyle factors, and combining foundational health practices with integrative oncology care. Their experience became the foundation for The Stern Method, Ryan’s podcast, and the Going Integrative Plus community, all created to empower families with education, support, and access to integrative cancer experts—offering hope and guidance to those facing similar diagnoses.
