In this YouTube short, Dr. Dino Prato, NMD, presents the case of Mike, a 51‑year‑old retired deputy sheriff diagnosed with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Deep molecular testing revealed that the cancer was driven by an infection and a weakened immune system. The team created a personalized cancer‑cell vaccine and administered Toglist adaptive immunotherapy, which dramatically expanded Mike’s natural killer (NK) cells. Within days, his ability to eat and swallow returned, and he entered a multi‑year remission. Mike now actively promotes the treatment, and the video notes that he is not the only patient benefiting from this approach.

I'm going to introduce you to Mike, 51-year-old retired deputy sheriff. We saw this metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. We started doing deep testing. We found the cause of his cancer was related to infection and related to weak immunity. And we went in and built a cancer cell vaccine. We rebuilt his immune system using a Toglist adaptive immunotherapy. The natural killer cells became huge here. As soon as the natural killer cells went in, he immediately within days was able to eat and swallow. It was, it was fantastic. Now he's been in remission for multiple years now. He's a big fan of the work we do and tells everybody about us. But he's not the only patient.
