They promise a cure, but the cost can last a lifetime.
Radiation for prostate cancer hasn’t been proven to save lives, yet it leaves many men struggling with lost vitality and irreversible damage.
Studies show no benefit compared to doing nothing at all. Because the real harm of radiation often appears years later, when it’s too late to undo.

If the outcome’s the same… Why choose the pain?
Dr. Petteruti breaks down the 15-year ProtecT Trial, showing that men who did nothing had nearly the same death rate as those who got radiation… but without the lasting damage to sexual function, bladder, and bowel health.

We confront one of medicine’s most uncomfortable truths: radiation therapy for prostate cancer has never been proven to extend life, but it has been proven to cause harm.

Your body already makes one of the most powerful antioxidants on earth, glutathione.
It’s your built-in detox system, removing heavy metals, neutralizing free radicals, and protecting your cells from damage. But as we age, our ability to produce enough glutathione declines. That’s where NAC (N-Acetylcysteine) comes in.
NAC is the key precursor your body needs to make glutathione naturally. Taking 600–3,000 mg per day can help your body restore its defenses, especially during stress, illness, or toxin exposure.
Know more about glutathione in this episode of Intellectual Medicine: Supplements for Prostate Cancer: What Works, What Doesn’t, and What’s Harmful (Part 2).

When it comes to fighting cancer, synergy matters, but so does choosing what truly works.
Discover how lycopene, the red pigment found in tomatoes and other fruits, acts as a natural cancer shield.
Studies show that higher lycopene levels in the blood are linked to lower prostate cancer risk and death, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and cell-protective powers.
It’s simple science from nature: the more lycopene in your diet, the stronger your body’s defense.

The recommended amount is 500 mg of broccoli powder daily, or if you love your greens, three half-cup servings of broccoli a week, or even better, both.
Because sometimes, the simplest foods are the most powerful medicine.

Inflammation fuels discomfort and sometimes disease progression.
Stinging nettle isn’t just folklore. It’s been studied in men and shown to reduce inflammation-related urinary issues, especially under stress. At doses between 500 and 1,000 mg per day, it’s a safe and effective option that also carries broader anti-inflammatory benefits.

Guiding people towards living the 120 lifespan while retaining youth.
This works by applying logic, reason, and scientific evidence to address conditions that drain people of their joy and vitality, while protecting from the harmful aspects of conventional medicine.
The beauty of our calling as healers is in the moment when we divine a way to improve the quality or length of a patient's life. The evolution of "evidence-based medicine" has had the downside of depriving clinicians of their creative freedom to practice the true art of medicine.
Intellectual Medicine respects the core of evidence, but expands its meaning to include that evidence which has merit but has yet to be integrated into the mainstream of care. After all, if we are limited to practice only the current standard of care, then the standard will never advance.
The object of Intellectual Medicine is to take the rapid advances being made in the many fields of science and to apply them to patients in real time.
The capacity for self healing.
Throughout my career I've been impressed with the capacity of the human body to heal itself. Frequently the best way toward healing a clinical condition is to create a healthy environment and stay out of the body's way as it heals itself. Too often modern medical techniques have become reliant upon aggressive intervention, often doing more harm than good.
By using the full range of tools available to you at Intellectual Medicine, including intravenous (IV) vitamins and supplements, hormone therapy, weight loss therapy, oral supplements, and other advanced modalities, long-suffering patients can finally find the relief they have been seeking but not receiving.
Extending youth, extending life.
Good health is not merely the absence of disease. Good health is an abundance of energy and bountiful vitality regardless of your age. If we believe that advancing years brings with it infirmity and fatigue, that belief will become self fulfilling. Achieving these outcomes requires the freedom of intellectual pursuit.
To often in medicine we are left pursuing well worn pathways and if the patients condition doesn’t comfortable fit into that pathway we feel incapable of helping them. The patients tell us what they need and what they need is to feel better, live longer, and live better. That’s the passion that drives all IM120 centers.
To living 120 youthful years,
Dr. Stephen Petteruti,
founder, IM120
