Hi Dr. Huberman, As the mother of a pediatric leukemia patient (toward the tail end of her treatment thankfully!) I am very interested in learning more about new immunotherapy advances. I realize this might not be in the normal realm of your podcast, but still wanted to post this question in case it's on your radar. Recent advances in immunotherapy have made me even more curious if there are studies about holistic, natural ways we might preventatively aid the body in detecting and destroying cancer cells before they can replicate themselves (both pediatrics and adults). Perhaps this could be diet, movement, mindset, etc. As my daughter nears the end of her treatment, I am trying to research how to best support her immune system and prevent cancer reoccurring. (Perhaps we're not there yet, but despite going to a top hospital, this is not a subject that's yet been discussed.) I think this topic may apply to many outside of our situation. Again, thank you so much for all you share and all the people you've helped with your podcast! – Jessica
I heard your conversations on Rick Rubins podcast. I then read the meta analysis of the american cancer association on sun exposure. It seems to me that the issue with using sunscreen is that we spend too little time outside and we don’t have enough vitamin D, but as long as ones vitamin D levels are right then using sunscreen should be a good idea to protect the skin from overexposure. Right? I am a little confused now on the use of sunscreen and skin health. Is it recommended, on your opinion, to use sunscreen from the point of view of longevity vis a vis skin cancer and of retaining skin elasticity over the years? Provided ones vitamin D levels are ok.
