Joe Tippens never planned to discover a potential remedy that he credits with saving his life and thrusting him into the spotlight among notable cancer survivors. The 67-year-old businessman told The Epoch Times that he just wanted to beat a type of cancer with an extremely low survival rate.
In August 2016, Tippens was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer with a fist-sized tumor. After undergoing chemotherapy and radiation five times per week in Houston, the large tumor in his left lung was eliminated. However, Tippens said the treatments came closer to killing him than curing him.
