The world’s oldest lung cancer survivor, who eradicated the disease naturally

Meet the world’s oldest lung cancer survivor, who eradicated the disease naturally—no drugs or treatment.

This July, Dr. Carl Helvie, RN, DrPH., celebrated his 80th birthday. The occasion would be a landmark birthday for any individual, but for Dr. Helvie, who was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer forty years ago and given only 6 months to live, it was particularly poignant. Astoundingly, he eradicated the disease naturally—without surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or other mainstream interventions—and is alive today to share his remarkable story of faith and courage.

When Dr. Helvie, a longtime smoker, was diagnosed with lung cancer in 1974, it was practically a death sentence. After weighing his treatment options, the health professional made a radical, seemingly inane decision: To eschew orthodox medical practices in favor of a holistic, all-natural approach to treatment.

There may have been some method to Dr. Helvie’s madness: According to Kim Dalzell, PHD, RD, LD, nutrition and lung cancer are inextricably linked. “Poor dietary habits, in addition to tobacco use, are associated with an increased risk of lung cancer," she says. "And, those foods and dietary practices that prevent cancer actively fight it or fuel it. So it just makes sense for long-term health to quit smoking and take a serious look at what else you are putting into your mouth.”
