Matt Halpert, PhD & Dan Rubin, ND - Immunotherapy Researchers
Radical Remission Project ”Stories That Heal” PodcastShow Notes
Welcome to a new type of interview. We are pleased to start sharing interviews with researchers who are making a difference in the world of integrative cancer care. Dr. Matthew Halpert, Ph.D. earned his doctorate in immunology at the University of Alabama-Birmingham graduate school, and joined Baylor College of Medicine in 2011 as an academic researcher. While in the Texas Medical Center, Dr. Halpert made numerous key discoveries regarding previously unrecognized mechanisms within our immune system, and importantly, how those mechanisms could be naturally utilized to reprogram an immune response to eliminate a target (such as cancerous cells). This science was studied in depth, worked on extensively, and progressed immensely by the efforts of Dr. Halpert, as partially evidenced by his numerous peer-reviewed publications in various top-notch science and medical journals, as well as his ownership of over a dozen patents. Within the previous decade, Dr. Halpert has successfully launched a not-for-profit charity to help support such research efforts, a “traditional” biotech venture designed to carry this science through various FDA clinical trials and towards regulatory approvals, and a Compassionate Use clinic (“Immunocine”) in Cancun, Mexico currently offering high integrity personalized immunotherapy options based on the same research and to patients which are ineligible for any of the clinical trials. Dr. Rubin, ND, FABNO, has been a pioneer in naturopathic oncology for nearly three decades. As the Founding President of the Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians, he helped define and standardize the field, bringing it recognition on an international stage. Dr Rubin is also the co-founder and Medical Director of Naturopathic Specialists in Scottsdale, Arizona, a leading clinic that has served people from all 50 states and 19 countries. Known for his expertise in integrating traditional and naturopathic medicine, Dr. Rubin has been recognized as National Physician of the Year and continues to shape the future of integrative oncology through clinical care, teaching, and global collaboration. He is also the DIrector of Business Development for Immunocine Preserve.

Before her diagnosis, Melinda Nelson was a plant-based health coach, avid organic juicer, triathlete, and yogi. At 32, she was diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma, a rare, one-in-a-million cancer with only one FDA-approved treatment. She found motivation and inspiration in the documentary Heal, which she played on repeat as she fell asleep. After surgery to remove a cortisol-secreting, 24-centimeter adrenal tumor, she started treatment but experienced recurrence in her spine, hips, shoulder, lungs, and liver, leading her to pursue multiple treatments and procedures with a dedicated team of specialists. Her tumors have remained stable and inactive since November 2022, and she continues to support her well-being through complementary practices such as acupuncture, hypnotherapy, and sound baths. In 2024, Melinda became a founding member and vice president of Adrenal Cure Collective, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing adrenal cancer research, and she now co-hosts Talk Cancer to Me, a podcast exploring the realities of life with cancer beyond oncology appointments. adrenalcurecollective.orgTiktok and Instagram: @MelindacnelsonTalk Cancer to Me PodcastRadical Remission DocuseriesTrailer to Heal Documentary _________

Judi was first diagnosed with Stage 1 Endometrial Carcinoma in 2011 after undergoing a hysterectomy. Because no additional treatment was recommended at that time, she was monitored through observation and was declared cancer free five years later. One year later, in 2017, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Low Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (LGESS), which had not been identified during her original hysterectomy. By that time, the cancer had seeded throughout her abdomen. Since 2017, Judi has been actively treated with various systemic hormone therapies and the disease has remained stable. The Radical Remission factors helped her feel less alone and more grounded throughout her cancer journey. As challenges arose, she incorporated all the healing factors into her daily life at various times, using them to navigate the ups and downs with greater resilience, hope, and intention. These factors continue to provide a meaningful framework for daily living and aging gracefully. _____________________
