Medical Freedom, Cancer, and the Courage to Choose — Billy Best’s Story | Ep 96
In Episode 96 of Good Healthy by Claudia, Claudia and Denny Schaffer host one of the most powerful and important conversations in the show’s history — a deeply human discussion about cancer, medical freedom, fear, and the right to choose.
Joining the episode are:
Billy Best, whose teenage decision to refuse chemotherapy became an international story| https://www.billybest.net/
Kevin Miller, longtime advocate for health freedom and storyteller of untold medical narratives
At just 16 years old, Billy was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma and faced an impossible choice: submit to aggressive chemotherapy or follow his intuition and seek another path. His decision — to walk away from conventional treatment — sparked global headlines, legal threats, media scrutiny, and decades of debate around medical autonomy and alternative care.
In this episode, Billy tells his story in his own words.
You’ll hear about:
Billy’s cancer diagnosis and refusal of chemotherapy as a teenager
The fear, pressure, and legal threats faced by families who choose differently
How hospitals and authorities respond when patients opt out of standard treatment
The emotional and physical toll of chemotherapy on young patients
Billy’s alternative approach, including dietary changes, detoxification, Essiac tea, and lymphatic support
The role belief, hope, and mindset play in healing
Why medical freedom remains a critical issue today
How Billy’s experience parallels other high-profile cases
The lack of research funding for nutritional and integrative therapies
Why informed choice should be a fundamental human right in healthcare
Billy is also the author of The Billy Best Story: Beating Cancer with Alternative Medicine, available in paperback, Kindle, and audiobook formats, where he shares the full depth of his journey.
This episode is not about telling anyone what to choose — it’s about preserving the right to choose, asking better questions, and treating health with dignity, compassion, and integrity.
⚠️ This is a must-listen for parents, patients, healthcare professionals, and anyone concerned about medical freedom.
