Looking for a miracle myeloma cure?

Instead, let's talk about scientifically-backed myeloma therapies you can start today.

My name is David Emerson, and I have been a Multiple Myeloma survivor since 1994. I have been in remission since 1999.


No, you did not read that wrong. I am still here 30 years later, and I spend my days helping Multiple Myeloma patients navigate their Multiple Myeloma diagnosis and the Conventional and Non-Conventional Myeloma treatment options available. My focus is on helping you to optimize your treatment outcomes and to mitigate or alleviate short term, long term, and late stage side effects.


I believe that informed patients make better healthcare decisions, and that pursuing evidence-based therapies shown to make a difference in your myeloma treatment outcomes is better than looking for a miracle myeloma cure.



Whether you're newly diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, facing relapse, or helping a loved-one navigate their diagnosis, learning about conventional myeloma therapies and non-conventional myeloma therapies is critical. 


With that in mind, I have created two separate courses that cover the main concerns of Multiple Myeloma patients from the perspective of each line of thinking. BOTH courses cover the following topics:

  • Myeloma symptoms vs. treatment side effects
  • Diagnosis and staging
  • Bone health and kidney health
  • Online support options


The Multiple Myeloma Conventional 

Therapies Course

The Multiple Myeloma Conventional Therapies Course is for myeloma patients and caregivers who want to get a handle on the available treatment options and find oncology appointments to be confusing and rushed. Let's talk about everything your oncologist doesn't have time to cover.


The Multiple Myeloma Conventional Therapies Course is comprised of:


  • 12 video lessons from myeloma experts explaining the topics above plus
    • Questions to ask your oncologist
    • Conventional therapies overview
    • Low-dose therapy approach
    • Elderly myeloma treatment
    • Extramedullary disease treatment
    • Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma


  • 12 easy-to-reference downloadable PDF guides that link to 100+ evidence-based, peer-reviewed studies


  • Unlimited access to a private, online community called Beating Myeloma comprised of hundreds of other Myeloma survivors and caregivers that I moderate. There, you can ask any and all questions and receive responses from both myself and other survivors dealing with the same experiences.


  • Cost: $199 (revenues from the MM CC courses defray the expenses incurred by running PeopleBeatingCancer- hosting fees, design fees, one part-time employee, etc)                                                    

The Multiple Myeloma Non-Conventional 

Therapies Course

The  Multiple Myeloma Non-Conventional course is for those myeloma patients and caregivers who want to think "outside the box” and learn about evidence-based non-conventional, non-FDA approved therapies, that research has shown can support myeloma patients and survivors. 


The Multiple Myeloma Non-Conventional Therapies Course is comprised of:


  • 14 video lessons from myeloma experts explaining non-conventional approaches to the topics above plus:
    • Immundeficiency
    • Prehabilitation
    • Complementary therapies 
    • Nutrition, diet, and supplementation
    • Traditional Chinese Medicine



  • 14 easy-to-reference downloadable PDF guides that link to 100+ evidence-based, peer-reviewed studies


  • Unlimited access to a private, online community called Beating Myeloma with hundreds of other Myeloma survivors and caregivers that I moderate. There, you can ask questions and receive responses from both myself and other survivors dealing with the same experiences.


  • Cost: $199 (revenues from the MM CC courses defray the expenses incurred by running PeopleBeatingCancer- hosting fees, design fees, one part-time employee, etc) 



Instead of looking for a miracle myeloma cure, I want to help you:

  • Choose your treatment with a clear understanding of how effective the treatment will be for your specific circumstances.
  • Understand what short term, long term, and late stage side effects may develop based on your chosen treatment.
  • Optimize your treatment outcomes and alleviate your side effects with scientifically-backed recommendations for diet, exercise, lifestyle, and supplementation regimens.

Choose the course that's best for you, or combine them together!

Would you like to discuss the specifics of your myeloma diagnosis and myeloma treatment plan?

The Multiple Myeloma Conventional Therapies Consultation:

I apply all the appropriate conventional MM therapies to you and your diagnostics and staging in order establish your current stage/situation and then present you with three different therapy plans:

  • Low dose
  • Moderate dose
  • Aggressive, high dose

In addition, you can ask any/all questions about future conventional therapies, my decades of experiences, anything at all. 


Cost: $199 when purchased with either MM CC Course- $399 when purchased individually  

(revenues from the MM CC courses defray the expenses incurred by running PeopleBeatingCancer- hosting fees, design fees, one part-time employee, etc)  


The Multiple Myeloma Non-Conventional Therapies Consultation:

I take your diagnostic testing results in order to establish your stage and identify your health challenges. I then apply those evidence-based non-conventional therapies to you, your goals and your health challenges. Anti-myeloma nutrition, anti-myeloma nutritional supplementation. Non-conventional bone health therapies. And more. Ask any questions you think might help you understand the world of managing your blood cancer and your health. 


Cost: $199 when purchased with either MM CC Course- $399 when purchased individually

When you leave your oncologist's office...



Do you understand your diagnosis?


- Your blood test, urine test, and imaging studies results?

- Your treatment options and the side effects you may experience? How to alleviate those side effects?

- What your goals are, given your stage?

- The quality-of-life and overall-survival metrics for your chosen treatment?


Do you know what to ask at your next appointment?


- Have you fully evaluated different treatment options?

- Have you decided on the best treatment for you?

- Have you taken into account your goals, life-stage, and personal considerations?



How would things be different for you if you had a full understanding of your Multiple Myeloma diagnosis and your options?


Imagine attending your oncology appointment and having the ability and confidence to ask the right questions, while being able to push back when your oncologist encourages  you to do something that you're either not comfortable with or don't fully understand.



Imagine being able to look at your regular blood and imaging tests and understand what they mean and whether your disease is progressing or stabilizing.






Imagine being able to decide on a therapy option with a complete understanding of the risks involved, the real overall gains to be had, and an evidence-based nutritional, supplemental, and lifestyle regimen in place to enhance that therapy.


I offer video coaching calls in addition to the courses. If this sounds good to you, let's chat. We can cover 


1) The Cure vs. Control Debate: learn about what this is and how your specific stage and diagnostic info relates to this debate and can inform your treatment decisions.


2) Short, Long-term and Late Stage Side Effect Risks based on your specific situation- Kidney, Nerve, Bone, Heart, Liver health based on your diagnostic testing information


3) Managing Your Oncologist: how to prepare for your oncology visits, how to say "no" or ask more questions without being pushed, and the importance of a second opinion.


4) The Importance of Evidence-Based Medicine: there's a lot of information out there, and having a system for sifting through what you find is critical.


5) Managing Your Finances to Avoid Financial Toxicity: navigating the in-network vs. out-of-network charges, long-game cancer-focused financial planning, filing for disability, navigating medical billing statements and payments.

I have spent over 30 years as a Multiple Myeloma Survivor and Multiple Myeloma Specialist


I believe that asking a newly-diagnosed Myeloma patient to make life and death treatment decisions without first providing detailed information about both conventional and evidence-based non-conventional MM therapies is like throwing a lamb to the slaughter.

The Difference a Multiple Myeloma Specialist Makes

  • While oncologists are well-meaning, they speak a language that is difficult to understand and they focus on only a fraction of what MMers need to know.  In particular, there is limited discussion of long-term side effects, evidence-based nutritional therapies, supplement regimens that may enhance treatment outcomes, and mental health needs.
  • The importance of a myeloma specialist is underemphasized, but for myeloma patients, having access to an oncologist specializing in myeloma can mean life or death. According to NCI, Myeloma patients are 1.9-5.7 times as likely to die within five years if they are under the care of an average SEER facility than if they are under the care of a Myeloma specialist.
  • New therapies are being approved for Multiple Myeloma all the time.  In the past 15 years, 12 new therapies have been approved for MM treatment.
  • Some of the therapies recommended by oncologists do little to increase the overall survival of myeloma patients, and come with debilitating side effects. 

I launched The Galen Foundation, a 501(c)-3 non profit, in 2004.  Six years later, I launched PeopleBeatingCancer.org as a free resource of evidence-based studies and information to help cancer patients and caregivers get a firm grasp on the options and issues related to their cancer. 


I believe that informed patients make better decisions for their care.


I spend my time researching cancers, blogging about cancer issues and working with cancer patients, survivors and caregivers. Coaching cancer patients, survivors and caregivers has become my passion. 

I spent ten years of talking to hundreds of Multiple Myeloma patients and caregivers just like you who were on the web looking for a miracle cure or something to save them from their disease.


I created the Multiple Myeloma Coaching Course as a way to get you up to speed on the issues critical to Myeloma management so that you can be empowered to make well-informed decisions for your Myeloma care.


The Impact of Multiple Myeloma Courses on Patients and Caregivers


My husband was diagnosed in 2003 and at that time there were not many treatments available and the MM specialists were pushing transplants a lot. 


At the time David was one of the few people who opened our eyes to alternatives. Now when we go to Dana Farber, the doctors are a lot less enthusiastic about transplants due to, as David said, the many more options available in treatments. We also changed our lifestyle to eat healthier and supplement to lessen the side effects.


 In conclusion, if you can, seek a second opinion with an MM specialist who will review your case and help you decide.



Martine - MM Caregiver


I contacted you in late 2015 about my father who had recently been diagnosed with MM. I asked you lots of questions which you graciously answered. You gave me hope that maybe my dad’s MM diagnosis was not a death sentence. He received conventional treatment.  In addition, he has been using the recommended supplements that you helped us discover. My dad is on maintenance Revlimid now. 


His doctor recently said that he needed to revise his treatment plan since my dad’s blood work has been coming in so healthy.  He said that they needed to “go outside the box” for his treatment protocol and take time off of the Revlimid.


My dad is healthy and active now.  I thank God for leading us to you and to other people that have helped us along this journey. Thank you for helping us.  May God bless you.


Kimberly- MM Caregiver


Hello David, I would like to thank you again for taking the time to speak to me yesterday. The discussion was actually quite comforting. What a tremendous amount of information you have acquired. It was extremely informative and reinforces the fact that I have a lot of work to do. I do have a couple of questions now, there will be more later.

Still not sure? Let me answer some commonly-asked questions:

You're not an oncologist. What do you know?


       That’s correct. I’m not an oncologist. I am a MM survivor. I have experienced both conventional and non-conventional MM therapies. I have lived through remissions and relapses of  my MM. I have researched and written the good, the bad and the ugly about MM. I have worked with hundreds of MM patients, survivors and caregivers. I’ve created the MM CC program based on my 25 years of MM experience.

If I buy your program will I be cured of my Multiple Myeloma? 

  

          I can’t promise a miracle cure for your Multiple Myeloma. No one can. All I can say is that conventional oncology considers MM to be incurable. I’ve lived with MM since 1994 by living the therapies presented in the Multiple Myeloma Coaching Course.
