Mark Simon's journey into cancer research began in 2004, building on a foundation of plant-based nutrition, holistic health, and natural medicine studies that started in 1982. Driven by the firm conviction that non-toxic nutritional interventions can serve as powerful alternatives to surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, Mark founded the Nutritional Oncology Research Institute (NORI) in 2011. Through the NORI Protocol — centered on cycled methionine restriction and proprietary nutraceutical combinations — Mark has guided hundreds of patients through cancer recovery and long-term management. His work has produced documented case reports of complete remission in Stage IV cancers. For patients across San Diego and worldwide, Mark remains personally committed to individualized, affordable, science-based cancer care.
