Ty Bollinger

Ty Bollinger (born January 19, 1968) is an American author and conspiracy theorist who disseminates misinformation about cancer treatments, anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, unproven cures, alternative medicine treatments for cancer and vaccine-preventable diseases. Although Bollinger refers to himself as a medical researcher he has no medical training. Bollinger runs the website The Truth About Cancer and its associated social media accounts, where he sells books, videos, and nutritional supplements.

Background Bollinger is a former bodybuilder. He is a Certified Public Accountant with degrees in accounting and taxation from Baylor University. When he was newly married and five years into his accounting career in Texas, his father died of cancer at age 52. Cancer took five more of Bollinger's family, culminating in his mother's death to the disease in 2004. Bollinger rejects the suggestion that he is anti-chemotherapy, but that he is a right-to-choose advocate.

The Truth About Cancer Bollinger's website, The Truth About Cancer, was established in 2014. It promotes the idea that chemotherapy does not cure cancer. The website is a merchandising platform for their instructional videos, food supplements, alternative health books, and treatments. Their videos have been viewed millions of times and is part of what has been called a "disinformation industry."

The Truth about Cancer videos present pseudoscientific treatments to remove toxins from the body, an approach discredited by scientists who have studied the method.

Personal Bollinger lives in Nashville, Tennessee with his wife, Charlene, and their four children.
