KING: OK. How you doing?
SOMERS: N-E-D, no evidence of disease. So, here I am. All my controversial choices, and here I am. I just always saw myself alive. But it's so stunning, so stunning to be diagnosed with cancer, especially when you think of yourself as young.
KING: Weren't you scared? Like for example, Peter Jennings; he started chemotherapy today.
SOMERS: I know.
KING: Weren't you scared, no matter what treatment you chose, weren't you scared?
SOMERS: Terrified. And you know, I was thinking about Peter today, because cancer's a year out of your life. No matter what choices you make. It's a year. And it's a long year, and it's a hard year. And you don't feel good during that year. And I also found that cancer was very lonely.
KING: Why?
SOMERS: Because you can't -- you can't ask anybody, what should I do? It's too much of a burden. I couldn't ask Alan, you know, what should I do? I couldn't ask my doctors even, what should I do? You have to decide for yourself. All these decisions, and they're huge decisions.
KING: Let's discuss what you did. It was controversial. In fact, people called in that night, I think a doctor called in disagreeing with what you were going to do. What did you do?
SOMERS: I looked at cancer in two ways. Either -- there's two ways to do it, as far as I'm concerned. Destroy or build up. Western medicine's standard of care is destroy, and it works.
KING: Chemo.
SOMERS: Chemotherapy. It's poison.
KING: Or mastectomy. I mean, they do mastectomies.
SOMERS: Right. And now they're doing...
KING: You didn't do either -- no surgery?
SOMERS: No, I did surgery. And now what they're doing...
KING: You did a mastectomy -- all right, tell me what you did.
SOMERS: What they're doing now is trying to preserve as much of the breast as they can. It's rare anymore that they do full mastectomies. And if they do, it's because they just have to.
But I looked at it as if I took those chemicals -- I am so versed in hormones and cells, I write books about this. And it was my feeling that it was an environment of balanced hormones that prevents disease. So the first thing they ask you to do is give up your hormones. And I thought, I can't. I can't. This is what makes me feel good. This is my juice of youth, my life.
KING: So what did you do?
SOMERS: I chose to build up. I built up by maintaining hormonal balance with bioidentical hormones. And -- in my research, and then with the help of my doctor -- I have a great doctor in Beverly Hills, Dr. Khalsa, who is a western/eastern holistic doctor. We found Iscador. Iscador is an anthroposophic medicine that they've been using in the Rudolf Steiner clinics since the '20s, with the same results as chemotherapy, with no side effects.
KING: How do you take it, is there a pill?
SOMERS: No, you inject it in your stomach every other day.
KING: By yourself, you do your own...
SOMERS: I do. So I've been doing that...
KING: For how long?
SOMERS: ... for five years.
KING: Still do it?
SOMERS: I do.
KING: You do it for the rest of your life?
SOMERS: Well, I talked to Dr. Khalsa the other day, and I said, I haven't had a cold, I haven't had a flu. I have six grandchildren. You know, they're always sick. And I never -- I didn't catch anything in these five years, because Iscador, the theory behind it is that it builds up your immune system so that nothing can invade or attack.
KING: What -- so you are going to keep taking it for the rest of your life?
SOMERS: So I said to him, do I have to stop taking this? He said, well, I would like you to take it for life, and I said, I would too.
KING: Isn't it annoying to inject yourself?
SOMERS: You get over it. Because you think of it as life, you know?
KING: What kind of surgery did you have?
SOMERS: They removed a part of my breast.
KING: Was that hard for you?
SOMERS: Yeah. Yeah.
KING: Are you over that?
SOMERS: Yeah, I am.
KING: Was it hard for Alan?
SOMERS: Well, you know, Alan is so cool. He says, now I've got one for every mood.
KING: I mean, was it...
SOMERS: It was...
(CROSSTALK)
KING: Was that done before you started any treatment?
SOMERS: Yeah, that's the first -- the first thing they do is surgery.
KING: Did you have radiation too?
SOMERS: I took radiation. So I think -- I don't think that I didn't take chemotherapy or Tamoxifen was my most controversial thing. I think that I took hormones. See, hormones is what scared all my doctors. You can't take hormones. I had an estrogen...
KING: You took hormones plus the Iscador.
SOMERS: Yeah. They said, you have an estrogen-rich tumor. And I know a lot of doctors out there...
KING: What does that mean?
SOMERS: Well, that's just the kind of tumor that I had, that it felt that it was estrogen-dominant. And, why do you get cancer? You know, you spend a lot of time thinking, why do you get cancer? Who knows? I don't know. You know, I was on birth control pills for 20 years. Maybe that's it. I don't know. I had a baby when I was a teenager. They gave me that dry-up shot. Was it that? That's a hormone of labor. I don't know.
KING: Why, if Iscador is this remarkable, why doesn't everybody take it?
SOMERS: That's my question.
KING: Well, what does your doctor say?
SOMERS: It's not patentable.
KING: What do you mean it's not?
SOMERS: It's -- it's...
KING: You don't need FDA approval, or you do?
SOMERS: In this country, because of me, it's legal to buy through your doctor's prescription, but it is not FDA-approved in this country.
KING: I don't understand that.
SOMERS: You can buy it, but I guess it's at your own risk.
KING: Oh, it's like a -- like a hormone -- like an herb?
SOMERS: Yeah, it's like, if that's what you want to do, your doctor will give you a prescription for it.
KING: And where do you get it, a health food store or a drug store?
SOMERS: No, no, no, no, from your doctor. Anthroposophic means you have to have a prescription from a doctor.
KING: So he gives it to you.
SOMERS: He gives me the -- I buy a year's supply at a time.
KING: And from a drugstore or...?
SOMERS: I get it from Switzerland, but you can now get it in this country. It's just that I have a relationship with...
KING: Why aren't there major stories about it everywhere?
SOMERS: Because -- I think because it's not patentable. I think it's like bioidentical hormones that I talk about al the time. They're not patentable.
KING: Anyone can make it?
SOMERS: Yes, anybody can make it. Yes. It's made from mistletoe extract. But all of our great drugs are made from... KING: How expensive?
SOMERS: This is what's so great. $111 for a two months' supply. And I haven't had a cold, and I haven't had the flu, and I haven't had a virus. I feel...
KING: What happens if people watching this show with cancer start rushing to their doctor tomorrow and asking for Iscador?
SOMERS: All right, this is what I want to say. I never tell anybody to do what I did.
KING: You're not a paid spokesperson?
SOMERS: No, I am not. I have nothing to do with that company, nothing, nothing, nothing -- other than I buy it for them.
Don't do what I do. But when you are diagnosed with cancer, all of a sudden you're in a world that you never thought you were going to be in. All of a sudden, they're saying what you're going to do. OK, we're going to do surgery, we're going to do this right away. So if you're diagnosed on a Wednesday, by Friday they had me in surgery. You're just on stunned. And then, OK, we're going to do the surgery, then we're going to do the radiation, then we're going to do chemotherapy, and then we're going to do Tamoxifen. And you can't even catch your breath. And you don't know anything about it. And it took so much strength on my part to say, no, no. And I had fantastic doctors.
KING: But if doctors are telling you, don't take hormones...
SOMERS: Right. This is why I think...
KING: Why would you do something they say don't do?
SOMERS: Because. I'll tell you why.
KING: Let me get a break and -- well, hold it.
SOMERS: I'll tell you why.
KING: We'll be right back with Suzanne Somers. Her book -- and we'll talk about that too -- is "Slim and Sexy Forever." It's just out. We'll be right back.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
KING: Before we get into the book and your health and some calls, let's continue along the line we just asked. Doctors say don't do it, why did you do it?
SOMERS: Because I've written -- this is my 13th book. I have -- and most of them, except for a couple of biographies, have been about hormones. I've been studying the hormone -- insulin, and the adrenal system and cortivazol and the sex hormones. So I knew -- it was my belief from all the research, all the time that I put into this, that it's an environment of balanced hormones that prevents disease. Look at young people, it's rare when young people get heart attacks, stroke, cancer, Alzheimer's.
So I knew that if I had my body in balance so that my body, my brain was tricked into believing that I was still a reproductive person, that that's how I could prevent disease. So when I got cancer and they said, you have to give up your hormones, which make you feel good, which give you your vitality and energy and your zest for life, and I thought, I got to fight cancer and be in a depressed state because when you are without hormones, you feel awful.
KING: But why did they say the hormones would be bad for you?
SOMERS: Because -- Because...
KING: Why is that the conventional thinking?
SOMERS: Because I don't think that western medicine or medicine in general understands hormones. I really don't.
(CROSSTALK)
KING: You call this book the subtitle "The Hormone Solution."
Solution to?
SOMERS: To weight loss. Weight loss. If you -- because it's not just the sex hormones, estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, et cetera. It is the adrenal system. It is cortisol, it's insulin. And if one is out of whack, they're all out of whack. So, people live lifestyles in this country where they stay up late, they stay up late and they eat fat and they eat sugar all the time, and that blows out your hormones. Plus we're all so stressed and it blunts hormone production.
KING: So, what do you recommend when you say hormones?
SOMERS: OK. So this book is, if you are my age-ish and you're losing your hormones in the aging process. And we women lose 90 percent of our hormones over a two years period. And you men -- and you men...
KING: At what age usually?
SOMERS: Around -- well, it used to be 50, but now it's starting as early as late 30s because women are so stressed being superwomen and they've got the kids and they got career. And they got...
KING: When do men lose their hormones?
SOMERS: And men start losing around age 50. And it takes about 10 to 12 years for you to drain out. And along the way -- men are always afraid to bring up testosterone, because it means that they're not -- they're a sexual guy they used to be.
KING: Macho. SOMERS: But that's the last thing. That's the last thing -- here's what makes you a male, testosterone to estrogen. It's a ratio. A ratio between estrogen and testosterone make you male. As you start losing your testosterone, you get to a point where your estrogen overtakes. When your estrogen -- you have more estrogen than testosterone, that's when you can no longer perform.
So the new thinking -- there's so many incredible doctors who are -- western doctors, that's all I work with, who are coming out of the woodwork. They're going to my Web site. They've been getting hold of me, saying Oh, my God, we finally a voice for bioidenticals. So, for men as you're losing your testosterone, if you have a blood test or a saliva test, see where you're hormone panel is. Have a bioidentical, biologically identical to the human hormone, not a drug, a prescription made just for you and put back what you've lost in the taking process.
KING: And who does this. Who does this.
SOMERS: Well, my husband does it a lot.
KING: Who does the prescription.
SOMERS: Endrocinologist. A qualified endocrinologist.
KING: Now you give a -- there's a lot of recipes in here. You say more than 100 new recipes, right.
SOMERS: This book is like three books. It's hormones, it's the Sommercize program and then it's a cookbook. And it could stand alone on -- as a cookbook. You know, before "Three's Company," I was going to be a chef. I went to cooking school and...
KING: Yes, you're still on this anti-sugar kick, right?
SOMERS: I don't eat any sugar.
KING: You mentioned "Three's Company." Because I must ask a question on it. We'll take call from viewers to. The night John Ritter died, you called in. We discussed on the air as a whole panel. That you had had bad times, and you felt sad about it. You regretted it.
SOMERS: Yes. I mean, you know, I'm watching those shows now. And oh, just what people should learn from my experience with John is when you have a rift in a relationship, don't let it go. You know, suck it up and go make amends or whatever. He was mad at me, and then I got hurt and I got mad at him. And it never should have been.
Maranatha!
