Learning How to Fight Cancer Ep. 5: Dr. Pete Sulack on Going From 1% Survival Odds to Remission
In Episode 5, Matt Halpert speaks with Dr. Pete Sulack, a clinician, author, and cancer patient whose remarkable journey offers both scientific insight and deep personal hope.
After 18 months of unexplained symptoms, Dr. Sulack was diagnosed with a grade-four diffuse astrocytoma and given just a 1% chance of surviving eight months. Refusing to accept that prognosis, he combined advanced dendritic-cell immunotherapy at Immunocine with disciplined nutrition, personalized supplementation, and a faith-centered mindset. Four months after surgery and treatment, scans showed no signs of tumor growth, leaving his physicians stunned.
In this conversation, Dr. Sulack shares how he approached his diagnosis as both a doctor and a patient—detailing the lifestyle shifts, spiritual perspective, and science-driven strategies that helped him move get into remission. His story underscores the power of aligning modern immunotherapy with whole-body healing and an unwavering belief in the body’s ability to recover.
“I’d rather be on death’s door moving in the right direction than assume I’m healthy while moving in the wrong direction.” — Dr. Pete Sulack
