“You're going about the exercise portion in the context of everything else that's going on.

“When I look at all the different drugs and supplements and strategies that have been tried, I've not found anything that comes even close to stimulating the increases in natural killer cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes [as exercise with oxygen therapy].” – Dr. Tom Incledon

Meeting Summary
In their search for therapies that can fight their advanced cancer, patients and caregivers are moving beyond the standard of care of surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy to explore "Food as Medicine" and "Exercise as Medicine." Exercise can offset the effects of hormone deprivation therapies on weight, strengthen the heart, increase bone strength, and raise resilience.

But is there scientific evidence that can measure the impact of exercise, and point to some exercise therapies that are better than others.

Since 1989, Thomas Incledon, PhD, RD, known to most as “Dr. Tom”, has been recognized as one of the world’s leading experts in human health and athletic performance. He is the founder and CEO of Causenta Wellness, a cutting-edge wellness and cancer treatment center in Scottsdale, Arizona. He holds a B.S. in Exercise Science, B.S. in Nutrition, M.S. in Kinesiology, and Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology. “The World’s Strongest Sports Scientist,” Dr. Tom has competed at the World Championship level and set national records in Strongman Competitions.

Dr. Tom sets the stage for any exercise program to make sure that it is personalized to the individual. A patient should get a battery of tests that a patient before starting an exercise program. His research has uncovered an approach that is very beneficial for cancer patients: exercise with oxygen therapy, which improves the immune system to fight cancer and simultaneously makes patients significantly stronger.

What are the benefits of exercise?
Any exercise is beneficial.

Exercise strengthens the immune system in healthy people and people with cancer.

You can simultaneously improve your brain, heart, lung, and muscle function.

You can enhance recovery and reduce inflammation markers faster.

Some drugs that you may be taking, such as chemotherapy, will reduce the immune response to exercise.

What testing is needed to set the context for an exercise program?

Testing must be done to set the stage for an exercise regimen so that you have a game plan, rather than just doing some exercises. 

Before you start an exercise program you should test, analyze, and understand your: Genome, Proteome, Environmental chemicals, Microbiome, and Micronutrients

Dr. Tom works primarily with Tempus Labs (for somatic mutation testing) and mProbe (for proteomic testing) and other labs for additional testing services.

There is a discussion of other principles in designing an exercise program, such as:
Your exercises should address what is limiting you.
You should plan to progress in your fitness to get a stronger immune response.
Increasing or lowering oxygen concentration can enhance the desired effects of your exercise.

How does taking oxygen during exercise increase the impact of exercise on your immune system?

Exercising with oxygen allows you to do up to 25% more work. This extra work increases your epinephrine, which stimulates your immune system cells (cytotoxic T lymphocytes and NK cells).

Exercise with oxygen appears to eliminate pathogens in the blood.

There is a discussion of how to increase or reduce oxygen during exercise.

How can you access oxygen therapy?

You don't have to go to Arizona. You fill out a form on a website. Once you have your lab results, you have an initial consultation. There is no charge for the first consultation. Most people do it by Zoom. It's 30 minutes long. You go over your case, and they point you in the right direction. Beyond the initial consultation, additional consulting is $360 an hour, which provides recommendations, such as additional tests. An exercise with oxygen therapy session is $150. Some people buy packages of 12 for $1500.
