For the last six years, I have been warning the public about the cancer risk from mRNA COVID shots being unleashed that actually suppress our natural God-given cancer-fighting mechanisms, such as turning OFF the P53 tumor-suppressing gene, along with others. I have watched with alarm and sadness as some of my own patients who went ahead and got the COVID shot, suddenly were diagnosed with an aggressive cancer a year or so after the COVID shot, even though they were previously healthy, had no family history of cancer, and no particular cancer risks…except getting the COVID mRNA shots!
These cancers have been very different from cancers I’ve seen over my career in earlier years, before the launch of the mRNA COVID shots. Canadian oncologist, Dr. William Makis, coined the term “Turbo-cancers” and I agree. The cancers I’ve seen in patients after the COVID shot(s) have been more aggressive, appeared suddenly as late stage cancers when diagnosed, and were less responsive to traditional treatments. Patients with these turbo-cancers are dying at higher numbers and sooner than in the past. For many reasons, including this devastating rise in aggressive cancers, I have described these gene therapy agents as bioweapons because of their deliberate toxic design, now exposed by multiple experts from around the world.
Emerging data from studies around the world now confirm the alarming rise in cancers and other adverse health consequences following launch of the COVID shots. A recent study caught my attention because it clearly confirmed what we have suspected all along: people who received mRNA vaccines potentially have a higher chance of developing certain types of cancer, compared to those who did not get the vaccines.
This major South Korean study involving over 8.4 million individuals demonstrated the very concerning link between mRNA vaccines and cancer and highlighted elevated cancer risks post-vaccination with COVID shots. During the years 2021-2023, the Korean National Health Insurance database showed significantly higher hazard ratios for the following cancers one year after vaccination.
What does a “hazard ratio” mean? It means the risk of getting the disease compared to controls. For example, if the hazard ratio (HR) for lung cancer is 1.533, it means vaccinated individuals in the study were about 53% more likely to get lung cancer than unvaccinated people over the following year. The HR of 1.351 for thyroid cancer means a 35% higher risk, and so on.
Here are the results from the South Korean study:
- Prostate cancer (HR 1.687) – 68.7 % higher risk in vaccinated people
- Lung cancer (HR 1.533) – 53.3% higher risk
- Thyroid cancer (HR 1.351) – 35.1% higher risk
- Gastric cancer (HR 1.335) – 33.5% higher risk
- Colorectal cancer (HR 1.283) – 28.3% higher risk
- Breast cancer (HR 1.197) – 19.7% higher risk
Are these hazard ratios significant? Most definitely yes! In medical research, a hazard ratio above 1 means there is an increased risk. The closer the number is to 2 (or higher), the stronger the association.
For example, the prostate cancer HR of 1.687 suggests almost a 70% higher risk, which is substantial. However, it’s important to remember that hazard ratios show a statistical association. HR alone does not necessarily confirm a direct cause. But it does show that people who got mRNA vaccines had a markedly higher risk of developing many types of cancer compared to those who didn’t get the COVID shots.
These increases in Hazard Ratios for so many cancers are large enough to be taken very seriously. This increase cancer risk for people who got the COVID shots should dictate that all physicians do earlier and more intensive cancer screening in people who got the COVID mRNA shots and who are exposed to the mRNA through shedding.
I also think all physicians need to be much more aggressive in guiding patients on integrated cancer-prevention strategies as I have been teaching in my own medical practice for many years. We have also been teaching these cancer-prevention strategies in our Truth for Health Foundation programs for the last five years, as a core mission of our public charity.
MORE EVIDENCE: Turbo cancer is a real threat
I did a six part series in the fall of 2023 on “Turbo Cancer: Innovated Treatments Your Doctor Doesn’t Tell You”, archived on our website. I have great respect for and give the credit to Dr. William Makis in Canada for coining this term and for his tireless work reporting on the sudden and aggressive nature of cancers post-pandemic, especially in younger individuals and developing innovative treatment protocols he has shared with the world. Both Dr. Makis and US critical care specialist Dr. Paul Marik, have spent thousands of hours researching repurposed older medicines effective against cancers and teaching patients and doctors around the world about their discoveries and successful protocols. We presented in our six-part cancer series a compilation of this research and my own digging into the medical literature for options to share with patients. I hope you will access those resources to help keep you healthy!
Based on the work of these researchers and my own extensive research I developed the Truth for Health Store’s Cancer Risk Reduction Formula that includes powerful nutrients to help reduce risk for cancer, support on going cancer treatment and protect healthy cells, and post treatment to go after cancer stem cells and help lower risk of recurrence.
Dr. Vliet’s Cancer Risk Reduction Core Nutrient Formula includes:
- TruSulforaphane
- TruResveratrol
- TruBerberine 5X
- TruInositol Complex
- TruImmune Boost
- TruOmega Pure
- And several of our Resilience Formula daily supplements that support a strong immune system
As the first in this series of powerful cancer-fighting nutrients, today’s health tip focuses on sulforaphane, a biologically active, yet highly reactive and unstable compound found in cruciferous vegetables, especially broccoli, broccoli sprouts, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, collard greens, bok choy.
Cruciferous vegetables have become known as a true “super food.” Sulforaphane in particular is well known in cancer circles as an “anti-cancer” nutraceutical for several critical reasons based on its actions to
- support the immune system,
- provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions
- help with detoxification at the cellular level
- support cellular metabolism, and cell-life regulation.
These benefits are found with all cruciferous vegetables and are attributed to their naturally occurring phytochemical – glucoraphanin, also known as sulforaphane glucosinolate (SGS), which is a precursor building block for isothiocyanate sulforaphane, more commonly called just sulforaphane (SFN). I will explain the importance of this distinction when I discuss sulforaphane supplements and why I chose TruSulforaphane as my recommended source for my patients.
But first, let’s explore the many health benefits of sulforaphane.
Health benefits: Cruciferous foods/Sulforaphane supplementation
KEY TAKEAWAY: Cruciferous vegetables and sulforaphane supplements support detoxification, cardiometabolic health, estrogen metabolism, gut and immune function, and have meaningful chemopreventive and anti‑inflammatory effects.
Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, are rich in glucosinolates, fiber, vitamins A/C/K/folate, and minerals like potassium, magnesium, and trace elements. They’re consistently associated with lower risk of several chronic diseases in cohort data, especially CVD and cancer.
- Cancer risk reduction – Diets high in cruciferous vegetables and SUPPLEMENTING with sulforaphane are linked to lower incidence of breast, colorectal, lung, prostate, bladder and pancreatic cancers in several observational studies.
- include inducing phase II detox enzymes, enhancing carcinogen excretion, and reducing DNA damage. According to advanced research by Dr. Paul Marik, sulforaphane supplementation provides cellular defense, reprogramming and enhances cellular resilience through several key mechanisms:
Nrf2 activation → strengthens antioxidant defenses in immune cells. Sulforaphane is a potent Nrf2 activator, upregulating phase II enzymes (e.g., glutathione S‑transferases, NQO1) and increasing glutathione synthesis. This enhances cellular defense against oxidative stress and supports detoxification of carcinogens, air pollutants, and xenobiotics.
Detoxification pathways → reduces inflammatory and carcinogenic burden. Sulforaphane increases carcinogen detox, reduces DNA adduct formation, modulates apoptosis and cell cycle, and can influence epigenetic regulation in cancer‑related pathways.
HDAC inhibition → promotes tumor suppressor gene expression. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) is a gene silencing enzyme (turns off protective genes) and HDAC inhibition can halt uncontrolled tumor growth and trigger cancer cell death by restoring expression of these protective genes.
Targeting Cancer Stem Cells (CSC) → disrupts a key driver of immune resistance. Cancer stem cells (CSC) are a subpopulation of tumor cells with stem-like properties that drive tumor initiation, metastasis, and therapy resistance. CSCs also actively suppress the immune system increasing risk of recurrence.
Sulforaphane also acts as a resilience enhancer, allowing immune cells to function in a hostile tumor microenvironment (TME).
- Cardiovascular and metabolic health – Higher intake of cruciferous vegetables and sulforaphane supplementation are associated with lower cardiovascular mortality and improved blood pressure and lipid profiles from fiber, potassium, antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory effects. Endothelial function and blood glucose regulation are also enhanced, which may reduce risk or progression of diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
- Detoxification and antioxidant defense – cruciferous vegetable intake and sulforaphane supplementation upregulate Nrf2‑dependent phase II detox enzymes and support glutathione synthesis. This improves handling of xenobiotics (e.g., air pollutants, dietary carcinogens) and decreases oxidative damage in various tissues.
- Estrogen metabolism and hormone‑related cancers – These vegetables aid in the elimination of potentially detrimental estrogen metabolites and appear to have a role in protecting against estrogen‑sensitive cancers (e.g., breast) through glucosinolate‑derived compounds. Some data on mechanisms and clinical measures suggest more favorable ratios of estrogen metabolite occur with high intake of cruciferous vegetables, though results are not uniform.
- Gut health and microbiome – cruciferous vegetables provide both soluble and insoluble fiber that feed beneficial microbes, improve stool bulk, and support regularity. Sulforaphane has antimicrobial and microbiome‑modulating effects that help create a more favorable gut bacterial profile.
- Immune and inflammatory modulation – cruciferous vegetables and sulforaphane supplementation contain antioxidants (vitamin C, E, carotenoids) and isothiocyanates that support immune cell function and help maintain immune competence with aging. Higher intake is also associated with lower systemic inflammatory markers and better outcomes in conditions tied to chronic inflammation, including cancer.
- Weight, metabolic and mental health – High‑fiber, low‑calorie cruciferous vegetables improve satiety and help support weight management. Some studies link higher cruciferous intake with lower obesity rates. There is also emerging data that suggests a correlation between sulforaphane‑rich intake and reduced depression scores due to anti‑inflammatory and neuroprotective mechanisms.
- Micronutrient and pregnancy support – Cruciferous vegetables also supply folate which is important for neural tube development, plus vitamin K, calcium and other minerals supporting bone and vascular health.
KEY POINTS for Optimal Sulforaphane Supplementation:
The most evidence‑based way to take sulforaphane is to use a stable product of broccoli‑sprout–derived glucoraphanin + myrosinase. Most high‑quality products provide glucoraphanin (as a precursor) plus myrosinase to generate sulforaphane in vivo, which mirrors how the compound is produced from broccoli sprouts.
Sulforaphane is an isothiocyanate – a sulfur-containing organic compound that is biologically active when glucosinolates are broken down by the enzyme myrosinase. Myrosinase is essential for the generation of sulforaphane and needs to be present. “Sulforaphane” by itself is chemically unstable; which is why I recommend precursor‑based products, such as TruSulforaphane, over “pure sulforaphane”.
Recent research has led scientists to better understand the crucial role of the enzyme myrosinase (from mustard seeds) added to glucoraphanin, which actually enhances the bioavailability of sulforaphane 3-4 fold. Scientists have also identified Vitamin C as a strong activator for myrosinase enzyme activity.
