Dear Self-Health Advocate,



It’s great to be back writing after taking a short break to host the Online Prostate Cancer Summit and to speak at the A4M Longevity Fest Conference on Herbal Medicine and Testosterone Production. While in Las Vegas for A4M, I came across a newly published study on fish oils and prostate cancer, which I’ll share

with you shortly.



Welcome to New Summit Members

First, I want to extend a warm welcome to all the new members of the “Dr. Geo” and XY Wellness online community. Whether you’re here to improve prostate health, optimize testosterone, or simply live a fuller life as you age, you’re in the right place. I typically send out weekly updates, tools, and insights to help you take control of your health. Many in this community are self-health advocates committed to living better through knowledge and action, and I’m honored to have you here. Of course, if at any time you feel these emails aren’t serving your needs, you can unsubscribe easily using the link at the bottom of each email—because I hate spam as much as you do!

What About Fish Oils and Prostate Cancer?

Since 2013, I’ve addressed concerns about fish oil supplements and prostate cancer after a widely reported study by Brasky et al. The media made alarming claims that fish oils caused prostate cancer, but here’s the truth:

  • The study did not show that fish oils cause prostate cancer.
  • It found only a weak association, which itself was flawed and unreliable.

Why the Brasky Study is Problematic

  1. No Causation: The study measured omega-3 levels from a single blood test, which reflects short-term intake, not long-term habits.
  2. No Data on Fish Oil: It didn’t ask participants about fish oil supplements or diet, so blaming fish oil is pure speculation.
  3. Unreliable Testing: The study used plasma phospholipid levels, which fluctuate quickly. For better accuracy, RBC omega-3 levels should be measured.
The Brasky study made headlines but doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. It caused unnecessary fear, leading some prostate cancer patients to avoid fish oils—despite their proven heart health benefits and potential role in cancer management.

The Latest Study: CAPFISH-3 Trial

The CAPFISH-3 trial, a phase II clinical study, offers promising new evidence. Researchers looked at the effects of a high omega-3, low omega-6 diet combined with fish oil supplements in men on active surveillance (AS) for prostate cancer.

Key Findings After One Year:

  • Ki-67 Index (a marker for tumor growth):
    • Decreased by 15% in the fish oil group.
    • Increased by 24% in the control group.
  • Omega-6 to Omega-3 Balance:
    • Omega-6 intake dropped, and omega-3 levels rose (confirmed by RBC testing).
  • Other Benefits:
    • Lower triglycerides and reduced levels of a pro-inflammatory cytokine.

Final Thoughts & Actionable Takeaways

When it comes to nutrition and prostate cancer, there’s no magic food or pill that causes or cures it. However, this study suggests that a high omega-3, low omega-6 diet, along with fish oil supplements, may help slow prostate cancer growth.



Here’s what I recommend:

  1. Focus on Whole Foods: Eat more omega-3-rich foods like salmon, sardines, walnuts, and flaxseeds. Cut back on processed and fried foods high in omega-6 oils.
  2. Exercise Regularly: Pairing nutrition with physical activity is key to improving outcomes.
  3. Track Your Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratio: Ask your doctor to test your RBC omega-3 index. I aim for a ratio of about 2:1 for my patients.


The fear surrounding fish oils and prostate cancer was never justified, and new studies like CAPFISH-3 continue to show their potential benefits. Stay informed, take action, and remember: optimizing your health is about balance, not extremes.



Thank you for being part of this community. I’m excited to continue sharing insights to help you thrive despite prostate cancer and as you age!

Hey there,

Jimi, how much do you know about cancer?

We all know that cancer is a terrifying, often fatal condition that affects people of all ages around the world, but even the world’s foremost experts on cancer don’t fully understand everything about it.

There’s so much that just seems random—like, for example, how infants and small children can develop cancer when their bodies are so “new” that they shouldn’t be experiencing this type of breakdown yet, why people who never smoke can still develop lung cancer, and so much more.

And when you start looking at the animal kingdom, things can get even more confusing. For example, why animals with thousands of times more cells—like whales and elephants—actually have lower cancer rates than many smaller animals.

A team of researchers from the University of California Santa Barbara recently set out to try and get some answers, and what they found is incredibly fascinating.

Here are a few of the key takeaways from their research:

1) Everything gets cancer. Every multicellular organism is at risk of developing some cellular mutation that leads to cancer. Big, small, mammal or not, every living being has the potential to develop cancer because of how many cellular types exist together and have to communicate. More complex systems are more likely to break down—and one form that breakdown manifests is cancer.

2) Cancer prevalence is unpredictable across species. Ferrets and opossums were the animals most likely to develop cancer (or tumors that lead to cancer), while black-footed penguins and porpoises were least likely. As for humans, well we fall somewhere between those extremes—less likely to develop cancer than cats and dogs, it turns out.

3) Longer gestation times lead to lower cancer risks. Mammals with larger bodies tend to spend more time in gestation, which is how they grow so large. But it turns out that this longer gestation time may also give the growing bodies more time to invest cellular and genetic resources into avoiding and preventing the mutations that can lead to cancer.

There is so much more research left to be done—not least of which is studying specific types of cancer (of which there are more than 300) across the entire animal kingdom.

But what’s fascinating is that this brings new insight into and greater understanding of cancer. This research shows that there is more we can learn by studying a wider range of animals. Currently, lab rats are most commonly used in studies, but looking at animals that tend to develop cancers more spontaneously could help us understand why sometimes we also develop cancers more spontaneously.

Building on this research could also help us understand why some species (including humans) are more prone to certain types of cancers than others, specifically what genetic and environmental factors may lead to the development of those cancers. Even something as simple as what types of cancers other primates are prone to developing may offer more information we can use to combat cancer in humankind and the animals for which we care.

Cancer is a big, complicated, and often painful area of study. Cancer rates have continued to trend upward in recent years and more and more people around us are suffering. It’s rare to find someone whose life hasn’t been affected by cancer in some way—whether they themselves, a loved one, or a person they know.

The more we can learn about it, thanks to studies like this, the more control we can gain over our own bodies and the internal mutations that lead to the development of the various cancers that impact and impair our health.​
Yours in good health,​

Have you ever noticed why some people seem to age more quickly than others, Jimi?
Although several factors influence how quickly our bodies age, chronic inflammation plays a major role. This persistent immune response can lead your body to mistakenly target and damage healthy cells, accelerating the aging process.
What does this actually mean for you?
  • Your skin can’t repair itself correctly, causing wrinkles
  • Your body is overworked, causing fatigue
  • Your metabolism slows, causing weight gain
  • Your immune system weakens, causing illness
  • Your digestive system is taxed, causing all kinds of GI symptoms
  • Your brain is inflamed, causing brain fog and headaches
  • Your body fights itself, causing a loop of autoimmune symptoms
  • Your body becomes more vulnerable overall, increasing your risk of heart disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer, strokes, and more
Luckily, there are plenty of easy, affordable, and natural ways to reduce inflammation safely. And the best part? You can discover them all in an exclusive 10-part series, available to stream for FREE for a limited time…
The Inflammation Solution

It's almost the end of the year, which means it's time for fresh new beginnings. One of the most strategic ways you can start anew is by scheduling your FREE 15-minute phone consult with Dr. Karlfeldt, the guest integrative oncologist on our online program, Conquering Breast Cancer Together, and the owner of The Karlfeldt Center.
Two other simple yet incredibly powerful therapies you could incorporate into your daily routine are taking a shot of wheatgrass and a Super Zinc capsule.
Wheatgrass is one of the most effective ways for your body to absorb critical nutrients. But beware—not all wheatgrass is equal, and I discuss it all in my latest blog.
Zinc is also a secret for halting the growth of cancer cells and boosting your immune system.

Both are powerful vehicles for setting you on a path to vibrant health!
I'm always cheering you on!

Why Wheatgrass is the Ultimate Green Juice Elixir

Did you know that 94% of Americans are deficient in at least one essential nutrient?
When you combine this with the daily stress and toxins we encounter, it’s no wonder illnesses like cancer and autoimmune diseases are so widespread.
A root cause? Our soil and produce aren’t what they used to be. Decades of farming practices have stripped vital nutrients from our food. But don’t worry—there’s a powerful solution.
Adding superfoods like organic wheatgrass juice to your diet can help bridge the gap. It’s one of the most nutrient-dense ways to support your health—and it’s a MUST for breast cancer thrivers.
Just one ounce of wheatgrass juice delivers the nutrients of 2.5 lbs of organic veggies, including:
  • Vitamins (A, C, E, K, B2, B17)
  • Minerals (selenium, zinc, magnesium)
  • Antioxidants, live enzymes, and chlorophyll
But not all wheatgrass is created equal. Learn why I only trust Dynamic Greens Wheatgrass Juice and how it supports breast cancer healing through oxygenation, detoxification, and more.

Despite its best efforts to keep the records hidden, FDA has been ordered by a federal judge to produce one million additional pages that Pfizer submitted to FDA to license its COVID-19 vaccine.
As long-time ICAN supporters will remember, back in January 2022, the attorneys who regularly represent ICAN won a historic case in which a federal judge ordered FDA to produce ALL documents it relied upon to approve Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for ages 16+ at a rate of 55,000 pages per month. Based on FDA’s representation to the Court at that time that there were 450,000 pages, the expectation was that all the documents would be produced by the end of 2022.
However, long after the Court’s order, the FDA revised its estimate to 1.2 million pages and its document production dragged on until November 2023, when it finally announced production was complete. But scientists and other stakeholders kept pointing out that datasets were missing. When FDA was confronted about the missing datasets, it continued to assure that it had produced all records, but it soon became crystal clear they were hiding documents.
FDA finally admitted that it had failed to disclose a million pages in something it called an EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) file. FDA claimed the EUA file was not responsive to the FOIA request at hand because it was not part of the licensure file, but FDA’s own press release explicitly acknowledged that Pfizer’s license application “builds on the extensive data and information previously submitted that supported the EUA.”
U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman agreed and, after an extensive legal battle, on December 6, 2024, he struck another blow in favor of transparency. FDA has been ordered to produce all documents related to Pfizer’s EUA, estimated to be about one million more pages, by June 30, 2025.
Judge Pittman ended his order quoting Patrick Henry during the Constitutional Convention of 1787: “The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them.”
ICAN is thankful for judges like Judge Pittman who are committed to protecting the rights of the American people. We will continue to update you as the new batches of documents are released and will make them public for all—as FDA should have done from the start.​

Increasing Daily Steps Lowers Depression Risk​

Can you literally step away from depression?

A new global review of data found that "increasing the number of daily steps, even at modest levels, was associated with a reduction in depressive symptoms."

The Spanish study found that up to a level of about 10,000 steps per day, the odds for depression decline as daily step levels rise.

Special: Fight Your Depression and Live a Healthier Life…

The findings were published Dec. 16 in the journal JAMA Network Open.

Researchers led by Estela Jimenez-Lopez, of the University of Castile-La Mancha, noted there's already solid evidence that exercise of any kind is a natural antidepressant. But what about something as easy as walking?

To find out, they looked at data from high-quality studies on daily step counts and their links to mental health.

In total, the new review covered 33 studies involving a total of more than 96,000 adults worldwide. Studies included people who used fitness-tracker devices to calculate their daily steps.

Compared to a baseline of 5,000 steps taken per day, folks who took even 1,000 more steps daily saw a 9% drop in their odds for developing depression, the researchers found.

Those benefits quickly mounted up: Compared to folks walking 5,000 steps per day or less, those who walked 7,000 steps/day had a 31% lower odds for depression, the study found. Read More Here

Who Is the Farm Bill For? U.S. Farmers or Foreign Factory Farms & Chemical Companies?​

The U.S. is quickly becoming an agricultural colony of foreign countries. China owns Smithfield, the largest pork producer; Brazilian JBS is the biggest beef company; and U.S. corn farmers are the main market for Chinese pesticide company Syngenta and German BASF and Bayer, once part of the Nazi I.G. Farben conglomerate.
What if China doesn’t want to comply with bans on caging pregnant and nursing sows to sell its pork? What if Brazil doesn’t like Environmental Protection Agency rules on water pollution from its factory farm feedlots? What if Chinese and German pesticide companies get caught giving people cancer or killing “off target” crops that aren’t genetically engineered to withstand the toxic herbicides that drift from fields sprayed with their poisons?
These foreign companies go to Congress and demand relief in the Farm Bill! Incredibly, our members of Congress comply, writing in special provisions to exempt bad actors from rules the states and the courts are trying to enforce.
TAKE ACTION: Tell Congress to pass a Farm Bill for U.S. farmers not foreign interests!

SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE

Proposed Farm Bill Poses Threat to Farmers​

Wenona Racicot, Worcester Telegram & Gazette:
“The stark truth is this: The Farm Bill proposal seeks to undermine forever the rights of states to control their agricultural policies in the best interests of their in-state farmers and consumers. If passed, this reckless power grab, by stripping away the authority of states and local governments to set their own agricultural standards, would centralize power with the federal government and large, multinational agricultural corporations. Not only would it erode local control, it would also impede our further and valuable progress toward transparency and accountability in food production.
The Farm Bill deliberations have been skewed by the political machinations of a small and disingenuous segment of the pork industry.
Farmers, consumers and voters all deserve a Farm Bill that respects our right to treat animals more humanely, produce better-quality food, and respond to the needs of an evolving market.”

SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY

Scientists Warn: Creating ‘Mirror Life’ Could Have Devastating Consequences for Life on Earth​

Simon Makin writes for Scientific American:
“A category of synthetic organisms dubbed 'mirror life,' whose component molecules are mirror images of their natural counterpart, could pose unprecedented risks to human life and ecosystems, according to a perspective article by leading experts, including Nobel Prize winners. The article, published in Science on December 12, is accompanied by a lengthy report detailing their concerns.
Mirror life has to do with the ubiquitous phenomenon in the natural world in which a molecule or another object cannot simply be superimposed on another. For example, your left hand can’t simply be turned over to match your right hand. This handedness is encountered throughout the natural world.
Further breakthroughs would be required to create mirror life, but they are achievable with substantial investment and effort. 'We’re not relying on scientific breakthroughs that might never happen. I can draw you a list of things that need to happen to build a mirror cell,' Adamala says. 'It’s not science fiction anymore.' Adamala previously worked toward creating mirror cells, but she now fears that if mirror bacteria are created, the consequences could include irreversible ecological damage and loss of life.”

HEART HEALTH

The Surprising Link Between Your Gut Microbiome and Cholesterol Level​

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola:
“STORY-AT-A-GLANCE
* Recent Framingham Heart Study research shows your gut microbiome significantly impacts cholesterol levels, with bacteria like Oscillibacter helping break down cholesterol through specific enzymes and metabolic processes
* Scientists identified cholesterol dehydrogenase enzymes (ismA genes) in gut bacteria that convert cholesterol to coprostanol, a form less easily absorbed by the body
* Specific gut bacteria directly influence non-HDL cholesterol levels: Eubacterium rectale helps lower it, while Clostridium sp CAG_299 increases
* Cholesterol is involved in essential bodily functions, including cell membrane structure, hormone production, vitamin D synthesis and nerve signal transmission, making optimization the goal
* A holistic approach to heart health requires maintaining oxygen-free gut conditions for beneficial bacteria, avoiding processed foods, managing stress and staying active”

HEALTHY LIVING

Here’s Why Dancing Is the Best Exercise To Improve Mental Health​

Mariam Khan reports for Wired:
“Dance like no one’s watching, your health will thank you.
It’s no surprise that exercise is an integral part of our lives that allows us to keep in shape and stay healthy. However, the focus of exercise tends to be centered around physical health benefits. This often overshadows the advantages it has for our mental well-being. One activity in particular takes the crown when it comes to improving mental health — dancing.
In a study conducted at the University of Sydney, researchers found that when compared to any other type of exercise, dance was far more effective and beneficial for psychological and cognitive actions. The full report was published in the journal, Sports Medicine.”
Here’s everything you need to know about the positive impacts of dancing

Exclusive: UN Calls for $2.6 Trillion Investment To Reverse Land Degradation​

By Simon Jessop & Pesha Magid, Reuters:
“Restoring the world’s degraded land and holding back its deserts will require at least $2.6 trillion in investment by the end of the decade, the U.N. executive overseeing global talks on the issue told Reuters, quantifying the cost for the first time.
More frequent and severe droughts as a result of climate change combined with the food needs of a rising population meant societies were at greater risk of upheaval unless action was taken, Ibrahim Thiaw said ahead of talks in Riyadh this week.
The two-week meeting aims to strengthen the world’s drought resilience, including by toughening up the legal obligations of states, laying out strategic next steps and securing finance.
‘The bulk of the investments on land restoration in the world is coming from public money. And that is not right. Because essentially the main driver of land degradation in the world is food production… which is in the hands of the private sector,’ Thiaw said, adding that as of now it provides only 6% of the money needed to rehabilitate damaged land.”

AGAVE POWER

Regeneration International’s Billion Agave Project Could Restore the World’s Degraded Deserts​

Be Part of the Agave Power Solution​

With the news that restoring the world's degraded land and holding back its deserts will require at least $2.6 trillion in investment by the end of the decade, the time is ripe for the world to know more about the Billion Agave Project. This initiative is one OCA 's most promising projects, pioneered and taught at our sister org, Vía Orgánica, in conjunction with Regeneration International.

Our three sister orgs are united in bringing the Billion Agave Project, a revolutionary agroforesty system that can restore the world's degraded deserts, to people who live in areas in need of regeneration, especially with little-to-no irrigation.

You can read about it the Agave Power segment above.

Please consider a donation to help us spread the word, teach more farmers and students how to implement the system, and drive our work in restoring ecosystems, supporting local communities, and regenerative agriculture.

As we never let up on our core work to fight GMOs, pesticides and the take over of our food supply by Big Ag and Big Pharma, we are at the same time working on this land based climate solution, with the goal of helping people stay on their land and building biodiversity at the same time.

You can be part of the solution!
ditional indigenous knowledge of native desert plants and natural fermentation, an innovative group of Mexico-based farmers have learned how to reforest and green their drylands, all without the use of irrigation or expensive and toxic agricultural inputs.
This strategy combines the growing of agave plants and nitrogen-fixing companion tree species (such as mesquite), with holistic rotational grazing of livestock. The result is a high-biomass, high forage-yielding system that works well even on degraded, semi-arid lands. A manifesto on mesquite is available in English and Español.
The system produces large amounts of agave leaf and root stem—up to one ton of biomass over the 8-10-year life of the plant.

When chopped and fermented in closed containers, this plant material produces an excellent, inexpensive (two cents per pound) animal fodder. This agroforestry system reduces the pressure to overgraze brittle rangelands and improves soil health and water retention, while drawing down and storing massive amounts of atmospheric CO2.
The goal of the Billion Agave campaign is to plant one billion agaves globally to draw down and store one billion tons of climate-destabilizing CO2.

Hey Jimi,

A lung cancer diagnosis is among the scariest things anyone can face…

Both for the person diagnosed… and for everyone who loves them.

Over the years, I’ve met a few incredible people who’ve been through this…

And their strength has shown me just how difficult it can be.

I’ve had so many people reach out to me…

Asking if I’ve come across any natural ways to help fight against this disease.

It’s been a reminder that there are so many searching for real solutions…

Beyond just the standard treatments.

I’m passionate about finding ways to help…

And today, I want to share something that could make a difference in your life…

If you or someone in your life has been dealing with cancer.

In 2020, researchers at Nagoya University published a study…

Where they explored using mitochondrial biostimulation therapy to treat a rare form of lung cancer called Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM).

In one part of the trial…

A special type of energy source was directed at the tumors.

This caused the tumor cells to break apart…which led to cell death.​
The Biology of Cancer
The researchers focused on an antibody called NZ-1, which targets a specific part of a protein on the surface of cells called podoplanin.

Podoplanin is usually found on many types of cells in the body…

BUT it is especially common in some cancer cells, including those of MPM.

The team's research showed that podoplanin…

Was present in many different MPM cell types.

They found that NZ-1 works well with a special substance (a photo absorber)...

Called IR700, and when combined, NZ-1-IR700 specifically attached to the podoplanin on the cells in the lab.

When cells with podoplanin… like MPM cancer cells, were mixed with NZ-1-IR700..

And then treated with the mitochondrial biostimulation therapy

The cells quickly swelled and burst.

So basically…they used IR700, a special substance that absorbs energy…

Along with an injection of a cancer-targeting chemical.

The study says…

“The compound is made of an antibody, which targets a specific structure on the cancer cells, and a photoabsorber, called IR700.

When [it] is shone on the body part affected by cancer, the compound aggregates on the cancer cell membranes, leading to acute cell rupture and tumor death.”

This is phenomenal!

And what’s even more exciting is that a study published in 2021 on PubMed found that this mitochondrial biostimulation therapy…

Worked in about 87% of cases.

It also improved the quality of life for patients…

Showing it could be an effective alternative to chemotherapy or radiation for those with incurable lung cancer.

The study said…

This nano platform showed a robust antitumor effect against lung and breast cancer both in vitro and in vivo. It has been reported that the highly reactive singlet oxygen in [it] could deplete glutathione (GSH) and activate ferroptosis.”

This is HUGE step forward in cancer treatment…

And if you or your loved one(s) have been dealing with lung cancer…

This information can literally save your life!

And it breaks my heart to know that not enough people know about this life-saving healing tool…

This is why I’m going LIVE to share everything you need to know about this!

Join me at my Disease Reversal Webinar on Thursday, December 26th, at 4 PM ET!
