The Deadliest Disease

May 14, 2025

This GoldCare Townhall explores overlooked causes of cancer and questions the limits of conventional treatment. The conversation highlights immune health, nutrition, and the importance of informed choices beyond the standard medical approach.

Cancer. A word that carries weight, fear, and often confusion. For decades, it has been treated as a single monolithic disease — one that mainstream medicine insists requires chemotherapy, radiation, and invasive surgeries. But what if we’ve been looking at it all wrong?

In a powerful GoldCare Medical Townhall, Dr. Simone Gold brought together two voices unafraid to challenge the dominant narrative: Dr. Jonathan Murphy, an integrative oncologist, and Rick Hill, a 50-year cancer survivor who rejected chemotherapy and lived to tell his story.

The Unspoken Questions About Cancer

Dr. Gold opened the discussion by addressing what many are afraid to ask: What really causes cancer? Why is it so aggressive in some, and why does the conventional path so often fail? After decades in emergency medicine, she saw firsthand the aggressive push for chemotherapy — and began questioning whether that was always the right answer.

COVID, she explained, forced her to re-evaluate the system she once trusted. From there, her curiosity expanded to cancer treatment. The more she looked, the more troubling patterns she found.

Dr. Murphy: What If the Root Cause Isn’t What We’re Told?

According to Dr. Murphy, cancer isn’t just one disease — and it certainly isn’t caused by a single factor. Instead, he pointed to three main contributors:

  • Toxins: Often unidentified or environmental.
  • Nutritional Deficiencies: Especially those that compromise immune surveillance at the cellular level.
  • Stealth Infections: Including well-known viruses like HPV.

But perhaps most controversially, he added a fourth factor: the COVID mRNA shots. Dr. Murphy shared cases where patients in remission developed “turbo cancers” shortly after receiving the vaccine. These weren’t rare anecdotes — they were repeat patterns he saw in his clinic.

Dr. Gold echoed these observations, referencing case studies and personal stories of post-vaccine cancer flare-ups. For both doctors, the message was clear: suppressing the immune system opens the door for cancer to thrive.

Rick Hill: The Survivor Who Walked Away from Chemotherapy

Rick’s story began in 1974 with a diagnosis of Stage 3 embryonal cell carcinoma. After invasive surgery, he was told chemotherapy was his only option. But a friend’s letter changed everything. Rick left the Mayo Clinic and went to a clinic in Tijuana, Mexico — a decision that defied everything he was told.

There, he was treated with intravenous vitamin B17, a substance deemed controversial and even “poisonous” by the establishment. The results? No hair loss. No vomiting. Pain relief. Energy returned. And eventually, complete recovery.

His path wasn’t easy. He was ridiculed. His family feared he was making a fatal mistake. But five decades later, Rick stands as living proof that a different route — focused on immune support, detox, and clean eating — might save lives when conventional medicine says it can’t.

Why Haven’t You Heard These Stories Before?

Rick shared how, when he returned to the Mayo Clinic a year later, the surgeon who had operated on him refused to acknowledge his recovery. “Nothing that happened to you in Tijuana could’ve helped you,” the doctor insisted. Rick’s reply was simple: “Then why aren’t you even curious?”

This lack of curiosity — or worse, willful denial — is what the Townhall exposed as one of the most dangerous aspects of the current system. Dr. Gold called it what it is: a medical-industrial complex unwilling to admit other methods might work.

The GoldCare Difference: Real Doctors. Real Conversations.

GoldCare, as Dr. Gold explained, isn’t just another medical platform. It’s a space built outside the system. Why? Because when doctors are shackled by bureaucracies, insurance protocols, and fear of license suspension, patients lose.

At GoldCare, members can speak with independent, ethical doctors who aren’t bought by pharma or pressured to follow one-size-fits-all protocols. And education is at the heart of the mission — empowering people with the knowledge to take back control of their health.

What Should Cancer Patients Do First?

Dr. Murphy shared powerful insights into early cancer care, including:

  • Avoiding fear-based decisions — fear alone can hijack the healing process.
  • Prioritizing anti-metastatic strategies — including natural compounds like ursolic acid, modified citrus pectin, and nutrients like B17.
  • Reclaiming agency — by building a plan with a physician who listens.

It's Not Either/Or — It’s About Choice

Both Rick and Dr. Murphy emphasized the value of integrative care. Emergency surgery has its place. So do holistic protocols. But the patient should always be at the center of the decision — not a system built to preserve profits and control.

Final Thoughts

This Townhall didn’t offer a miracle cure. What it did offer was a reframing of the cancer conversation — away from fear and rigidity, and toward education, options, and partnership.

As Dr. Gold put it: “We want you to see doctors as little as possible. We want you educated enough to know what to do before it’s urgent. And when you do need a doctor, you should know who to trust.”
