His thesis: the root cause isn’t the tumor, it’s the collapse of the immune system…
There’s a number in your blood test that almost no one looks at: the Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC). Normal range: 1,000 to 4,000 cells per microliter.
If you drop below a thousand, it’s called lymphopenia.
And in medicine, since the nineties, the same finding keeps showing up. Breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, pick your poison: with lymphopenia, survival shortens significantly. Soon-Shiong cites between 200 and 300 publications all pointing in the same direction.
Why? Because the ALC measures your lymphocytes and T cells. They’re the ones that prevent infection, attack the tumor, and halt metastasis. They’re your army.
🚨🚨 The fact: chemotherapy and radiation cause lymphopenia by destroying your killer T cells.
The treatment that attacks the tumor also hits the cells you need most…
