Successful businessman James Templeton was an athlete and family man when he was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma from a mole on his back. In the second half, he revealed what he did after conventional treatment failed and how he restored his health and helped many other terminal patients take control of their health and add many years to their lives. Templeton recalled that he kept himself at the peak of physical health, but at age 31, he was diagnosed and treated for melanoma, but it had already spread. He said that he lost all will to live and his wife even left him, taking his daughter with her. His doctor said that he "had a 20% chance of surviving 3-5 years" even with treatment.
While in the hospital waiting for chemotherapy, Templeton received three suggestions from different people about alternative therapies, specifically a macrobiotic diet and the vitamin C treatments recommended by Dr. Linus Pauling. He decided to start with the chemo, but became quickly worried when he saw other chemo patients dying from compromised immune systems. Templeton said he "snuck out of that hospital at 2 in the morning" and made up his mind to heal himself. Within a year and a half, through following a strict macrobiotic diet and massive doses of vitamin C, Templeton said he cured himself. He also swore off meat (except fish) and sugar. Templeton reminded listeners to ask their doctor what their chances are for survival before making a decision to try alternative therapies, since if the odds are in their favor, conventional treatment may be preferable.

The old days of medicine are gone
In the last decade, specifically in the last five to six years, we have seen the gradual disempowerment of America’s physicians as well as their unfortunate patients. Starting with health management organizations, managed care, all the way to the insurance exchange, doctoring has been forcefully wrestled away from physicians only to be placed into the […]

Investing in the stock market is like playing that game of rock-paper-scissors
Rock-paper-scissors is a game that nearly all of us played as children. It is a game with incredible opportunities to play mind games with your opponent. There is no luck in rock-paper-scissors as with card games. The game does not have complex rules like chess. You simply have to figure out the patterns of your […]
When medicine stays in the family
It's no secret that some businesses are family businesses and medicine is no exception. The anonymous Northern California cardiologist known as "Dads Dollars Debts" confesses in a blog that, yes, some days he feels like he's made a difference, and other days, "I just feel like a customer service rep […]
How physicians can successfully wind down their practice
A retirement plan isn’t usually a top priority for fresh doctors looking for their first jobs, whether that final date is in five years or thirty. Perhaps knowing when to hang up your hat is immaterial so early in your career since most doctors will end up leaving their first job within the first five […]
Physician income shouldn’t be what determines your level of success
Too many doctors today believe that their income is what determines their level of success. This is a fallacy that is hurting way too many doctors. We hear things like, “Become a specialist so you can make the big bucks,” or “Now that I’m an attending, I can afford the payments on a new Tesla,” […]
The fallacy of work-life balance in medicine
Physician well-being, burnout, and “work-life balance” are pretty common topics in training. We start at intern orientation, discussing how to work 80 hours a week, eat, sleep, exercise, and still have some semblance of social life. It’s like we’ve forgotten the origins of our job title: “resident” or “house staff” — implying that, until recently (and […]
Being on the lists of the best and worst doctors
As each calendar year closes, organizations compile best/worst lists: TV shows, movies, exceptional people that bring character or immortality to our year as it fades into history. Medicine has its heroes and scoundrels. I would expect that all physicians can instantly name five teachers who shaped them and five guys they scored as real zeros […]
What common words and phrases really say about medicine
Medicine is currently struggling with the problem of physician burnout and the specter of diminishing wellness. Despite concerted efforts, burnout continues to expand. In light of this, being vigilant for limitations in the current framing of the issue is prudent. Words express the conceptualizations of our world and frame ideas. Such framing is meant to […]
How physicians can investigate their employers
After several months of intense discussions, "Dr. Joe Smith" thought he was headed from his successful two-physician practice to a respected practice with many more physicians. It was pretty much a "done deal," until he was told that the senior partner decided he really didn't want someone […]
Your financial mindset is a baseline for financial success
It’s easy to judge when you don’t experience the same difficulties that others do. The classic scenario in medicine is an internist, who runs marathons and bikes to work, tells his morbidly obese patient to lose weight. How would the scenario work if the doctor were mildly overweight, or has a body mass index of […]
