Paul Cauthen stunned the country music world earlier this year when he announced that he had been diagnosed with cancer, and just a few weeks later he delivered another shocker.
The 40-year-old singer took to social media to announce that he was not going to treat his cancer via traditional methods but was instead opting for a holistic approach. While Cauthen has not offered many updates, he has been busy back out on the road playing shows and making new music.
Earlier this year, he did open up about exactly what he is doing to treat his thyroid cancer as well as how he thinks things are going during an appearance on the “Ten Year Town” podcast with Troy Cartwright.
“Going good,” Cauthen said. “Whipping cancer’s ass. It’s going great. I’ve been taking a bunch of supplements. Taking ivermectin, fenbendazole and methylene blue. All these things not a lot of people talk about instead of doing the general way of having your whole endocrine system ripped out of your throat.”
Cauthen then touched on some formerly in his circle being against him taking a holistic approach.
“I went a different way,” he said. “So, it has been … a lot of people shunned me for it. A lot of people have gotten a lot of flack. I’ve stopped working with people because of this situation. It’s been weird. You want to actually make a call for your own body, and people want to make calls for your body for you. That was the first time I ever had that feeling. I guess getting cancer is one of those things that kind of opened up who the real people are in your life that are in it for you and your health and your journey back to your most wanted health. Instead of playing psychological games and trying to tell you what to do and have you do this and do that, and you need to be like that, and we have the answers.
“Everybody can tell you what they believe, but you gotta go find it out for yourself.”
Cauthen said that he has always been “as a stubborn as a mule.”
“It’s wild. It’s scary,” he said. “I took a tougher road in the end. I’d already be healed up, but there’s a chance I could have lost my voice. There’s you know, I could have been unstable in my calcium and my levels could be, I could feel like I have a weighted blanket on me every day and be fatigued, chronic fatigue. Maybe me sex drive goes down. There’s so many things that can happen when you pull this organ out of your body. It takes you years to get stable on supplements, and you’re married to supplements the rest of your life. So, I’m taking a crapload of supplements now, and I’ve lost 25 pounds, and I believe that in the end I can say that cancer really saved my life because it stopped a lot of my bad habits.
“I was eating double cheeseburgers at 4 a.m. on the bus,” Cauthen said. “I haven’t had bread in a long time or beer really. I have a different outlook. So, in the end, I think in the long game, me getting healthy and taking this path of health and wellness and eating clean is going to save me.
“Give me longevity.”
