I’m on a mission: either cure cancer or advance scientific understanding in the process. Join my journey on this blog, and please consider donating to support my efforts.
To simplify a complex mechanism: cancer struggles to utilize fat for fuel. By entering a therapeutic state of ketosis, we can deprive it of glucose, its primary energy source, leaving just glutamine. The challenge arises when we attempt to block glutamine; it’s essential for our survival. Currently, targeting only the cancer cells without harming healthy ones is a hurdle yet to be surmounted. While numerous organizations are pioneering solutions, presently, our best option is a drug named 6-diazo-5-oxo-norleucine (DON), which indiscriminately blocks glutamine in all cells. My task is finding a balance: attacking the cancer without jeopardizing my health. This isn’t dissimilar to chemotherapy, where the objective is to eliminate cancer cells before causing irreversible damage to the patient. Existing research suggests that when DON is coupled with a therapeutic state of ketosis and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), it’s a potent cancer combatant—at least in animal studies. I’m keen to discover its efficacy in humans.
My strategy involves three key components:
- Starving the cancer by eliminating glucose.
- Administering a drug called 6-diazo-5-oxo-norleucine (DON).
- Undergoing as many Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) sessions as possible.
I aim to showcase tangible results by March 2024, though I rely on your generous donations to fund this venture.
Currently, I maintain a therapeutic state of ketosis, regularly monitoring my diet, blood glucose and ketone levels—I’ve been in this state since August. As for DON, I’ve secured a supply (more on its acquisition later). Additionally, I have access to an HBOT chamber capable of reaching 3.0 ATA pressures. My journey officially began on September 24th, 2023. Join me on this path, and if possible, consider donating. The financial pressures are immense, especially considering the steep cost of DON.
Here’s my tentative plan, which, given the nature of the circumstances, is subject to evolution.
Notes:
- Protect my gastric mucosa with psyllium husk 12 hours before DON; take licorice root extract 20 mins before. Gut protection is to limit side effects so that I can increase the dose…not to simply add comfort.
- Increase dose incrementally based on personal gastrointestinal tolerance.
- 21-day DON cycles with a 14-day breaks, so I don’t crush my immune system. Maybe I can go shorter, but I will manage that with data from lab tests and, generally, how I feel.
Protocol Schedule:
Day 1: DON (starting) dose 0.5mg/kg of body weight with HBOT
Day 2: Rest
Day 3: HBOT
Day 4: Rest
Day 5: DON dose 0.7mg/kg of body weight with HBOT
Day 6: Rest
Day 7: HBOT
Day 8: Rest
Day 9: DON dose 1.0mg/kg of body weight with HBOT
Repeat until day 21, then take 14 days off. Increase DON dose as tolerated.
