I think everybody knows somebody that either is a family member or friend that has

0:05

been affected by cancer and specifically breast cancer as well. It's in my wife's

0:10

family, and we've been active in helping to try and help find a cure

0:15

with Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama. This is why I do the events

0:19

that they do and proud to do it as every year we get closer and

0:23

closer with research, you know, for more better treatments and also getting towards

0:28

you know, a cure ultimately is the goal obviously, and putting everybody out

0:32

that's involved in this research out of a job. Summy Ray is Summit Ray

0:38

rather is a guy that is a leader in going after this breast cancer and

0:43

cancer in general and helping research. Sumy, so glad to have you back.

0:48

Thanks for being with me this morning. Thanks for having me again.

0:52

I appreciate it. You know, it seems to me that you look around

0:56

and it's becoming more prevalent. I don't know if it's because we're more aware

0:59

of it because social media puts it out there more, but it seems that

1:03

there has been an increase, especially in younger people when it comes to getting

1:07

cancer. I mean, you look at this actress, so Olivia Munn she

1:10

was forty three, Kate Middleton recently forty two. I mean, these numbers

1:15

are scary to me. Is it getting worse? What's going on? It

1:22

is increasing. I think awareness is definitely higher, but I think incidence rates

1:26

are also growing up in the younger population. Now, there's several reasons that

1:30

that's happening. It's not random. One of the reasons that cancer in general

1:34

in all ages is increasing because of our lifestyle. You know, we're very,

1:38

very sedentary. We don't we're not as active as we used to be

1:42

as a human existence. And as a result that interior lifestyles lend themselves to

1:47

inflammatory metabolic diseases, you know, systemic inflammation, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases,

1:53

heart diseases, all of which cause inflammation in the body and create right breedings

2:00

for essentially damaged pre cancer cells to grow. The one issue we have today

2:05

is lifestyle, and that applies to the younger population as well. I think

2:07

the second issue we have is that we don't fast. We eat very frequently,

2:13

too frequently, and this concept of breakfast, lunch, and dinner,

2:17

it's kind of a commercial construct that came about about one hundred years ago with

2:21

the advent of grocery stores. I think pigli wigly first in nineteen sixteen.

2:24

But part of the human existence once again has not for the vast majority of

2:30

its of its history eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We lived in

2:34

periods of feast and famine. We were hunter gatherers. If we hunted and

2:38

gathered, we ate, and if we didn't, we didn't. And those

2:40

periods of famine were very important because they trigger processes in your body known as

2:46

autophogy and auto self fagi eating, self eating, and greek And what that

2:52

is is essentially your body's internal recycling program. It's the program by which your

2:58

body goes and finds damage, precancerous, mutated cells. It tries to kill

3:02

them and build them back into healthy cells. Yeah, we eat too frequently.

3:07

No, I was just going to say, I've done it both ways,

3:09

where you know, and I've struggled with my weight for years and years

3:14

and years, and I found a program that really works and I've been doing

3:16

it, and you know, my goal is to lose about fifty pounds.

3:19

I lost about twenty seven. Then the you know football season. They last

3:22

year and gained about ten of it back. But I'm back at it now, and it breaks it down to eating twice a day, not you know,

3:29

three times a day like you described. And you see so much talk

3:31

about intermittent fasting, and not only is it a great way to lose some

3:35

weight, but you're right, you make a very good argument and bring some

3:38

knowledge to the table that intermittent fasting also helps your body. You know,

3:44

I guess de you know, chemicalize or whatever and move that crap out of

3:50

your body. That's we can't avoid putting in there unless we completely live off

3:53

the land. But yeah, continually loading, you never really give your body

3:58

a chance to catch up and get rid of it. That's right, reloading.

4:01

And then also you know, even caloric production, just eating less calories

4:06

has been shown to have some positive impacts on longevity. Sure, and so

4:11

so just because you reduce inflammation primarily, and so you know the frequency of

4:16

which we eat, and remember what we eat, right, we need a

4:19

lot of you know, kind of bad oils, trans fats. A lot

4:23

of people don't even realize it, and that's that's another issue. You know,

4:26

today, if you were to go into an oreo, for example,

4:29

you consume point four nine. You knows a transfat about half a gram of

4:31

transfat. People don't realize that because if you're under half a gram, the

4:36

FDA allows you to write it down to zero. Yeah, well it's you

4:40

know here all the time to shop the perimeter at the grocery store, not

4:44

the aisles because that's where all the crap is. So let's talk about early

4:47

detection. I know you lost your sister to cancer and you've got a new

4:53

cancer Check early detection program going talk to us about what you're doing there and

4:58

this new screening US says you've got sure. So cancer check Labs is our

5:04

company, and you can see that at cancer check labs dot com. We've

5:08

released a test called cancer Check, which is a cancer screening test. So

5:14

what it does is if you have a primary tumor just a little bit of

5:16

background. So if this makes sense, if you have a primary tumor breast

5:19

cancer, lung, prosty colorectal, pancreatic, liver, buttter, brain,

5:23

stomach called the organ tumors from which one hundred million people a year suffer across

5:28

the globe annually. The primary tumor self generally does not kill you. What

5:31

kills you. Generally is the tumor sheds tumor cells. Then those tumor cells

5:36

circulate through your bloodstream known as circulating tumor cells or CTCs, the acronym for

5:42

short, and the CPCs the circulating tumor cells, spread the cancer and your

5:46

body, and a process known as metastasis, which is where you hear about

5:49

metastatic cancer, and the metastatic effects are typically fatal. That's how people die

5:54

from cancer. They don't really die from the primary lump usually. What we've

5:59

developed over the past fourteen years is a technology that is now enabling this proprietary

6:03

test that allows us to take a blood draw a few vows of blood less

6:09

than you would do an annual physical, send them to our lab, process

6:12

it and detect the presence or absence of circulating tumor cells. If you do

6:16

not have an underlying tumor, there should not be something shooting tumor cells into

6:20

your bloodstream. As a result, the presence or absence of tumor cells in

6:26

your blood is indicative of cancer. Yeah, it allows us to screen people

6:30

for cancer. Wow, that is so cool. It's cancer check labs.

6:33

Check it out, folks, And I really appreciate your insight. Assume meet

6:38

Ryan. Thanks again for being with me, buddy, and we'll have you

6:41

back for sure.
