I looked him up since he's not posted since 2011 or so, and see he's still listed on the faculty at a famous medical college. He's written dozens of articles and done numerous studies on cancer. I wrote to ask him to come and update. He's now over 12 years, Stage IV with over 50 liver tumors at dx!
He once said that he checked his own CEA twice in a day from the same vial of blood and the readings always varied by at least .5, so not to freak out over small changes.
