The beginning

In March of 2026, I was told I had melanoma after they biopsied a patch on my back that had been there for three years. (I had it checked twice over those years, but two dermatologists said it was nothing. Turns out, it was melanoma.)

This forced me into a deep dive on cancer, 6 books and countless medical videos.

Fortunately, for me, my melanoma was the "superficial spreading" version, which means it's the version that spreads on the surface of your skin rather than the deep diving version that enters the blood stream and eventually metastasizes and spreads into organs. (It will eventually dive if you don't cut it out, but it could take many years to get beyond level 2.)

When my dermatologist took the sample for the biopsy, he took the entire discolored patch on my back, plus margins, which, in total, was about the size of a silver dollar. He called me a week later; told me it was melanoma and the remainder should be surgically removed. Fun, fun, fun.

But here's the good news! During my deep dive into cancer research, I ran into a gentleman named Sam Shepard.

Sam Shepard

Sam was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer in 2003, and he was told that there was nothing they could do for him. It would eventually kill him. He was 50 years old at the time.

Sam asked his doctor how much time he had left. The doctor's response was: "you could die in the next ten years or the next ten minutes."

Well, Sam is not your ordinary human being. He taught biochemistry in medical schools, has 43 patents to his name, and is essentially brilliant. He was the perfect person to get a cancer that cannot be cured.

After learning of his dilemma and doing some soul searching, plus many long discussions with God, he decided he would spend his remaining time on this earth in search of a cure for his cancer. What did he have to lose?

Well, as you might imagine, not only did he find a cure for his cancer, his cure also works as effectively on all cancers, including brain, lung, colon, breast, pancreatic, prostate, etc.

All of them.

No surgery. No chemo. No massive expense. No BS.

(Sam is a healthy 73 years old today.)

I know what you just read is hard to believe, I get it.

You're screaming "fraud" in your head. I get that too. But hold on.

Over 1000 peer reviewed studies

There are over 1000 peer reviewed scientific studies on this product, all coming to the same conclusion. In fact, his product, a supplement, is the only supplement in the history of the United States that has ever been granted a patent by the FDA and NIH.

It was his 42nd patent. It took 8 years to get it, but the "powers that be" finally had to acquiesce due to the overwhelming amount of success this product was having with all stages of cancers, including stage 3 and 4 cancers, not to mention many other illnesses. (full list on his website)

In fact, the patent on his product specifically states it can be used for the "treatment" of cancer.

(The FDA and NIH couldn't say "cure" because big pharma would have their heads and big pharma has tremendous influence and control over both of these agencies.)

Big pharma is well aware of what this product could do to their bottom line…eventually.

A quick aside

93% of all illnesses that affect Americans, heart disease, cancers, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's, dementia, high blood pressure, Parkinsons, macular degeneration, tumors, arthritis, strokes, etc. etc. etc., are caused by inflammation.

The American diet creates this inflammation with seed oils, sugars, high-fructose corn syrup, starches, fructose, grains, processed and ultra processed food, etc.

Most people in this country eat their way into sickness every day, all day. Three meals, three snacks, a few sodas, resulting in exploding blood sugar and high inflammation. Bingo! Eventually, your immune system is overwhelmed and you are the lucky winner of a disease.

It's why we're the sickest country on the planet and spend five trillion on health care soon to be six trillion.

Let me be frank: there is big money to be made from sick people. There is no money in healthy people.

There's a wise saying: Healthy people have a thousand wishes. Sick people have one wish.

HS-CRP

To avoid all of these diseases you need to keep your HS-CRP below three, (3 milligrams per liter) but, preferably below one (1 milligram per liter).

What is HS-CRP? It's a simple blood test that measures the inflammation in your body.

If your HS-CRP is above three, you're asking for an illness. And millions of Americans are getting and dying from these illnesses every year. (Sam talks about it in the videos I've attached.)

Back to Sam...

To find a cure for himself, he researched animals that never get cancer. According to Sam — the physicist, inventor, and cancer survivor — the five animals he identified as rarely afflicted with cancer are: pink flamingos, sharks, salmon, elephants and naked mole rats.

Shepard discovered that all five share a common biochemical trait: they produce astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant molecule found in certain algae. In his own research, he hypothesized that this compound may help protect cells from damage and support immune function, which could explain their extremely low cancer rates.

(Remember: Shepherd's story began after his 2003 diagnosis with polycythemia vera, a rare and aggressive bone marrow cancer. With conventional treatments offering little hope, he used his scientific background to investigate why these animals rarely develop cancer. His finding led him to cultivate the red algae source of astaxanthin and incorporate it into his diet, which he reports cured his cancer and forced doctors to call it a "miraculous remission.")

It's now been over 25 years since the diagnosis so I think we've passed the "remission" phase. Let's call him cured.

So, what is Astaxanthin?

From WebMD:

Astaxanthin is a powerful red-orange carotenoid antioxidant found in algae and seafood, known for its anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and skin-protective properties.

This red-orange carotenoid pigment is responsible for the reddish color in salmon, lobster, shrimp, krill, and flamingos, and is naturally produced by certain algae, bacteria, and yeast, particularly the microalgo Haematococcus pluvialis used in supplements.

Unlike beta-carotene, astaxanthin does not convert to vitamin A in the human body. Its molecular structure, containing conjugated double bonds and keto and hydroxyl groups, gives it strong antioxidant capacity, reported in lab studies to be up to 10-100 times greater than other carotenoids or vitamin E.

The Five animals

With the discovery regarding these five animals in his hands, Sam Shepard grew a huge vat of these red algae in his backyard and started dosing himself. He had no idea what an effective dose would be, but eventually found one when his cancer markers started plummeting, creating amazement and confusion in his doctors. His blood cancer had no known cure. Now it did.

He eventually patented his process of growing and producing this Astaxanthin. It was his 42nd patent.

If you go to Amazon, you'll find many Astaxanthin supplements that are now chasing desperate people. Most of these Astaxanthin supplements are synthetic, made from petro chemicals. Won't do much for any cancer or illness, especially in small, ineffective doses.

When people try these inexpensive, low-quality versions of astaxanthin, nothing happens, and so they walk away and say it doesn't work. That's because they didn't use Sam's high quality, patented version of astaxanthin. And as of this writing, his product is not available at Amazon, nor has it ever been.

So, why do desperate people buy these inferior products?

Cost.

You can buy these synthetic versions for $25 on Amazon. Waste of time and money.

His product, which is patented, got the patent because of how he produces his product.

Why is his Astaxanthin so powerful and successful? Why did it kill my cancer?

Most people know that cancers thrive on sugar and glutamine. When people consume sugars, (which the average American consumes in everything they eat) any cancer cells in their body will gorge themselves on that sugar and will actually fight healthy cells to obtain it.

Sam used this "fight for sugar" against the cancer cells.

In his brilliance, he created a Trojan Horse with Astaxanthin.

A Trojan Horse?

Yes. He figured out a way to combine an Astaxanthin molecule with a glucose molecule.

Why?

Because when the cancer cells recognize the glucose traveling in the blood stream, they grab it immediately. They pull in the glucose (and the Astaxanthin attached to it) into their cell, not realizing they just killed themselves. Within about 4 seconds, (shown on video) the astaxanthin kills the cancer cell.

And astaxanthin does not affect healthy cells at all.

Sad truth

Big financial interests attempted to kill or scare Sam Shepard when they became aware of his discovery at a medical conference. They wanted to "shut him up." Shots were fired at him when he was putting up his Christmas lights but those shots fortunately missed. He called the police and filed a police report in South Carolina.

After that happened, he called his attorneys and they told him to immediately go public with everything he knows about Astaxanthin. He did. He went on every podcast and social media outlet that wanted to interview him. He did TV interviews and newspaper interviews. The word traveled fast across the globe.

Everything is out in the open now, so, they leave him alone.

Back to the product...

Is it good for just cancer?

No. It's outstanding for anything that damages your health due to inflammation. Heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, etc. The entire list is on his website.

Anyway, if you've read this far, you are probably intrigued regarding Sam, his story, his discovery and more.

And you might be saying to yourself: "if this is so good, why doesn't everyone know about it?"

I'll say it again. There is no money in healthy people. All the money (trillions) is in sick people.

Big medicine and big pharma control the agenda. Most people trust their doctors. These same doctors were trained in medical schools controlled by big pharma dollars, which control every protocol they learn and every drug they prescribe. Going to medical school is a huge personal debt for most doctors and they certainly do not want to "rock the boat" and put their medical licenses into jeopardy. They've got bills to pay. I get it.

Big money would never advertise the effectiveness of his Astaxanthin because it would be the equivalent of shooting themselves in the head.

Astaxanthin is a food. You can't patent a banana, an apple, a potato. Nor can you patent Astaxanthin. If big pharma could, they would, and charge enormous amounts for access to it.

But what about Sam's patent?

Good question. His patent is not on Astaxanthin. His patent is on the process of combining glucose and Astaxanthin. His company is the only one that can do this, creating the Trojan Horse.

Final note:

I learned about Sam Shepard in the final leg of my cancer deep dive. Had I learned about him and his product before they cut that chunk out of my back, there is no way I ever would have had that melanoma cut out of my back. I just would have used his Astaxanthin topically and internally. The melanoma would have died on its own.

Thank you for listening

There are several links at the top of this website for more information regarding this product.

Cordially,

P.S.

I hope it goes without saying that you can dramatically increase the speed of your recovery if you eliminate all of the offenders that create the disease environment (inflammation) in your body.

These offenders are seed oils, (canola, cottonseed, soybean, corn, sunflower, safflower, rice bran, peanut, grapeseed — all horrific for the body) sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, fructose, starches, grains, processed and ultra-processed foods, etc.

A clean, organic keto diet works wonders because you will be removing all of the foods that create inflammation and drive blood sugar higher. Cut the carbs.  Dramatically.

And again, 93% of all the sicknesses Americans experience come from a body racked with inflammation.

What is your HS-CRP?

P.P.S.

Someone asked me if I had a financial interest in this company.

My answer is a resounding: NO!

My reason for putting this website together was to have a convenient way to educate others about this product, nothing more.
