A friend recently asked me how things were going and what I was doing. She said she got slightly behind on my blog posts, and now she can’t catch up because I ramble, and they are too long. This comment exemplifies how I like my people – honest!
Summary and a couple of key terms:
I wholeheartedly endorse the Mitochondrial Metabolic Theory (MMT) of cancer, finding Somatic Theory lacks any tangible results and has wasted hundreds of years, millions of lives and trillions of dollars.
Guided by the evidence-based research championed by Thomas Seyfried at Boston College, I’ve embraced a role as a walking-talking lab experiment, undertaking a treatment proven effective in killing cancer cells in lab and mouse studies. Not confined to a “clinical trial” and lacking medical endorsement, my approach synthesizes the Seyfrieds’ “Press/Pulse Protocol” with my oncologist’s recommendations. It’s not “alternative” but rather a complementary strategy in my case.
Midway through my journey, I encountered a fellow terminal cancer patient who, like me, rejected the idea that “there is nothing that can be done” after learning that the “standard of care” is a political and legal definition based on a small and limited scope of scientific studies. Like me, he delved into his research and discovered MMT, then applied what he learned to himself. His success, marked by a quick and complete recovery without resorting to chemo or radiation, validated my chosen path. He should be dead but is currently NED (No Evidence of Disease) and is not receiving any treatment of any kind.
My protocol involves meticulous glucose control, staying at or below 4.1mmol, through a strict ketogenic diet and lifestyle adjustments, emphasizing moderation in diet, enhanced sleep, regular but sensible exercise, and a mindful approach to daily activities. Additionally, I incorporate Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) every second day, and 6-Diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine (DON) every 4th day. DON acts as a glutamine antagonist to counter cancer’s alternative fuel source (glucose being primary). Despite DON’s classification as a “research drug” with limited accessibility and high costs, it remains a crucial component in my unconventional yet promising regimen. And because it’s not a regular prescription, no medical support or dosage guidance exists. Everything must be deduced from old scientific studies published in the National Library of Medicine’s Pub Med Database. So, I am figuring it out as I go and trying not to kill myself in the process.
Protocol 1 was a success in terms of getting all my treatment days in and having low glucose. Protocol 2 has been rough and I have paused consumption of DON as I don’t want to waste it when my glucose is high. Protocol 2 is almost over and I am going to take a break between #2 and #3 to work on my glucose stability. Protocol 3 starts December 3rd. Right now I am keeping with strict keto, doing HBOT every second day and waiting for my CT results which I should be getting next week.
