Paul Cauthen has been in the headlines quite a bit this year after announcing his cancer diagnosis, the fact that he was battling it holistically, and then heading out on the road to keep on performing.<\/p>\n
Cauthen frequently posts on his Instagram account, but he doesn\u2019t always mention his health. He did bring it up just a bit on Friday, though.<\/p>\n
\u201cI cancelled a bunch of shows this year due to being burnt out and sick,\u201d he wrote.<\/b> <\/a>\u201cI got my health right and remembered why I do this in the first place. I\u2019m called to do this. The Lord has blessed me in countless ways. I turned my back, I selfishly chose my way instead of just listening to the calling. <\/p>\n \u201cThankful for all of you who made it out to all my shows,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe wouldn\u2019t do it without you. Boy do we have some songs coming for you!!!! Album is about mixed and ready for master. The band is hot. The team is tight. It just feels right. God bless you!\u201d<\/p>\n While it is not a direct comment about the status of his thyroid cancer, it is encouraging for fans to see him say he got his health right. <\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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 \u201cTen Year Town\u201d podcast with Troy Cartwright.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cGoing good,\u201d Cauthen said. \u201cWhipping cancer\u2019s ass. It\u2019s going great. I\u2019ve 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.\u201d<\/p>\n Cauthen then touched on some formerly in his circle being against him taking a holistic approach.<\/p>\n \u201cI went a different way,\u201d he said. \u201cSo, it has been \u2026 a lot of people shunned me for it. A lot of people have gotten a lot of flack. I\u2019ve stopped working with people because of this situation. It\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n \u201cEverybody can tell you what they believe, but you gotta go find it out for yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n Cauthen said that he has always been \u201cas a stubborn as a mule.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s wild. It\u2019s scary,\u201d he said. \u201cI took a tougher road in the end. I\u2019d already be healed up, but there\u2019s a chance I could have lost my voice. There\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019re married to supplements the rest of your life. So, I\u2019m taking a crapload of supplements now, and I\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n \u201cI was eating double cheeseburgers at 4 a.m. on the bus,\u201d Cauthen said. \u201cI haven\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n \u201cGive me longevity.\u201d<\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
