Recently Diagnosed or Relapsed? Stop Looking For a Miracle Cure, and Use Evidence-Based Therapies To Enhance Your Treatment and Prolong Your Remission
Multiple Myeloma an incurable disease, but I have spent the last 25 years in remission using a blend of conventional oncology and evidence-based nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle therapies from peer-reviewed studies that your oncologist probably hasn't told you about.

Arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury may be excreted in appreciable quantities through the skin, and rates of excretion were reported to match or even exceed urinary excretion in a 24-hour period.
A multiple myeloma diagnosis invariably causes the patient to wonder about causes, risks, etc. I read countless posts to forums from myeloma survivors who for years either lived on a farm or next to one breathing pesticides. I worked in a printing plant for about 5 years preceding my diagnosis of multiple myeloma.
Studies vary but estimates for environmental and chemical causes of cancer in general focus on approximately 6% of all cancer deaths.
The articles below point to chemical exposure as one of the environmental causes of myeloma. Another environmental cause is exposure to benzene in a printing plant. While no one can definitively say that one cause or another is the reason for a person’s MM diagnosis, it is clear to me that heavy metals exposure increased the risk of MM.
I mention the above because whole-body hyperthermia aka detoxificationis an evidence-based, non-toxic therapy for myeloma patients and survivors. I sauna several times each week for 15-20 minutes at about 200 degrees Fahrenheit and increase my internal body temperature to approximately 102 degrees. I sweat out heavy metals several times each week.
The fact is that there are dozens of evidence-based, non-toxic therapies for multiple myeloma. I have remained in complete remission from my myeloma since April of 1999 by living a non-toxic, anti-MM lifestyle through nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle, bone health, mind-body therapies and more.

“Conclusion-Farmers seem to have increased risk for MM. Pesticides rather than animal exposure seem to be a possible risk factor. However, a major limitation of this analysis is the presence of significant heterogeneity across the studies and the evidence of publication bias in some models. Level of education seems to be an important covariable and should be considered in studies analyzing occupation.
A pooled analysis using individual-level data could provide more power and permit the harmonization of occupational and exposure coding data.”
“Preliminary findings suggest that responders to the attacks on the Twin Towers on 9/11 may be at higher risk for multiple myeloma, a cancer of the blood.
Notably, half of the cases identified among law enforcement officers were under the age of 45. Multiple myeloma is usually a disease of the elderly…
“The concerning thing,” he added, “is it makes biological sense. There is certain data that multiple myeloma is associated with an increased exposure to certain chemicals. It has never been shown with inhaled chemicals but this amount of exposure probably did get into the blood…”
“The heroic NYPD deputy chief who helped lead rescue efforts at Ground Zero after 9/11 died Friday, a week before his wedding, from a rare blood cancer…
More than 900 first responders have died from ailments believed to be related to the toxic Ground Zero environment.”
Thank you for this article David. It was suggested by my Naturopath that my continuing bone pain from Multiple Myeloma may be due to lead toxicity. Do you have a HEAVY METALS test that you recommend? I am in Canada. Cheers! ~ Penny
I know little about heavy metals testing. Since my MM diagnosis I’v always believed that detoxification therapies would be a good thing for me to do. I am sorry I can provide you with more information.
My mother had mercury in her teeth and took the flu shot for 5 years died of multiple myeloma. I am convinced it was the mercury & aluminum. No one on either side of our family has ever had cancer until my mother. My father developed dementia after he started the flu shots.
I am sorry for your loss. Environmental factors increasing or actually causing MM is fairly well-established.
Based on my own experience, I think your thinking is correct. Unfortunately, we will never know because oncology doesn’t test for heavy metals exposure in MM.
