What triggered the discovery of Taylor Dukes' brain tumor?
Hey guys, welcome back to the Ultimate Human Podcast.
How did metabolic ketosis, methylene blue, and red‑light therapy shrink the tumor?
I'm your host, human biologist, Gary Brekka. Do you know that one in five Americans will develop cancer? The vast majority of autoimmune disease has no known cause, and millions of people with brain fog, joint pain, crushing fatigue, and mystery symptoms are told every year that their labs are just fine.
What role did the Toxoplasma gondii parasite play in the tumor’s growth?
They're not fine. What's happening to them is invisible to conventional labs. Mold toxins in the tissue, parasites suppressing the immune system, stealth infections that retreat and hide until the immune system is just too exhausted to keep them contained, and an immune system so overloaded that the circulating tumor cells it would normally catch every single day are slipping through.
Why did the tumor shrink by half before surgery and what does that mean for treatment?
Today, I have three people who found what was hiding. A functional medicine nurse practitioner who shrunk a plum-sized brain tumor in half before surgery using metabolic ketosis, methylene blue, and red light therapy. A functional medicine physician who has spent 15 years treating the patients conventional medicine just couldn't explain and knows exactly how to find what the standard labs miss. And one of the most respected holistic physicians in the entire world will lay out the complete protocol for tackling stealth infections, Lyme disease, and parasites that are quietly destroying the immune function while your blood work looks perfect.
Which hidden labs and biomarkers are commonly missed in standard testing?
So let's get into it.
How do HLA gene variants and biotoxin sensitivities affect immune overload?
Yeah. So life was good. I've met the man of my dreams. He was an Air Force pilot. We have two children. I have a thriving functional medicine practice of my own at this point. I founded a wellness center with a partner. And I don't know if you're familiar with the Pernuvo full body MRI company.
Very familiar. Yeah.
What protocols do Dr. Will Cole recommend for gut healing, mold, and EBV reactivation?
So I'm trying to put I'm trying to actually bring them to the Middle East right now because I love it. I'm a huge fan.
Yeah. So they reached out and they said, Hey, you know, we're getting a location in Texas near you and we would love to give you a full body preventative scan. And I'm like, all right, cool. I'm healthy. You
know, this is 2020,
this is 2022, 2022.
Yeah. So
two and a half years ago.
What is the complete ‘strengthen‑kill‑bind’ framework from Dr. Josh Axe?
Yeah. So not
too
long ago. Um, and I got the curve ball of my life. And so I did the scan, you know, took the picture, put on the scrubs and I was called until that I, they found a massive brain tumor in my right frontal lobe. And I'm like, what? You've got to be kidding.
So
it was a shock to say the least, but I did in fact have a huge brain tumor.
Wow. You said it was the size of a plum.
It was the size of a plum.
How did it displace that much gray matter and you were having no symptoms?
Truly, I can't even explain it because from a medical perspective,
I mean, the
brain is so symptoms, like one millimeter shift, you can have symptoms
in your brain.
So literally it's a God thing. I don't have no explanation because it's truly beyond my
comprehension. Now, did you see this image yourself? I mean, did your heart just drop? I
did. It did. I'll
never
forget. We were headed to the museum with my children and I remember opening the app and I actually didn't get a phone call. I actually have to back it up. I opened up the app because I'm the practitioner. I'm the one who saw it first. No one had told me. So it said abnormal finding and I look and it said nervous system. And I'm like, that's That's weird. So I went to go look at it and it was a huge picture and it does not take a radiologist or a trained medical professional. I'll show
you after. Okay. I
mean, it is huge. It's this huge white mass. So when I first got diagnosed, you know, I had a 10 month old at the time and a three year old. And so it was scary as all get out. You know, and as much as I know about integrative and functional medicine at this point, I know nothing about cancer. And now I feel like I have my Ph.D.
Right. Right. Right. I do, too, just because of all the people I've
worked with. Yes. And it's only increasing. That's the hard thing. And so I slowed down and I prayed and I said, OK, God, like this isn't a surprise to you. You know this. You know the number of my days.
