@Jeff Boldrick thank you. I will order the book and read it. Jane McLelland also survived cervical cancer with an integrative/alternative approach. I read her book and highly recommend it.

@Jeff Boldrick Yes please share your story. People need to hear it for strength and inspiration. Substack seems to be a good platform to spread awareness 🙏

Interesting. Perhaps useful as prevention to replace damaged mitochondria?

Thanks Fitch. There was a lot of research shared here previously about the potential benefits of Red Light Therapy. I’ve personally always been cautious about my mum using it due to concerns from some of the research I came across suggesting it could potentially promote tumour growth under certain conditions and I’ve talked about this before and my mum stopped using it. It’s interesting that we now have a statement from Dr. Marik himself expressing similar caution and suggesting it may not be as beneficial as we once thought. I wonder whether it might be best to review or remove older posts that strongly suggest RLT as beneficial for cancer?

@Lemon P @Fitch T I’ve added a pinned comment to every post I could find about RLT. Please let me know if there’s more that we need to look into. I’ve also removed EMR-TEK from the affiliate list.

Very interesting and inspiring story!

@Fitch T indeed! She reminds us that the emotional aspect is quite often missed and actually probably the most difficult part to change. We should all practice more gratitude and forgiveness. 🙏

So sorry your father and your family are going through this. Since chemo is starting tomorrow, I would strongly encourage reading about the Orthomolecular / metabolic approach alongside conventional treatment and even showing some of the literature to his doctors or oncologist. Some research and clinicians, including Dr. Seyfried, discuss how therapeutic ketosis and metabolic strategies may help improve the therapeutic window of chemotherapy potentially making treatment more effective while sometimes helping reduce side effects. Dr. Seyfried has also discussed how, in certain contexts, lower chemo doses may still achieve therapeutic effects when a patient is in deep therapeutic ketosis, although this is something that must be discussed with the oncology team. Because your father is already very weak and struggling to eat, I would personally be cautious about anything too aggressive nutritionally without medical supervision. Supporting calorie intake, hydration, electrolytes, and maintaining strength is very important right now. There is also published research suggesting that fasting or short-term calorie restriction around chemotherapy may help some patients tolerate treatment better and potentially increase cancer cell sensitivity to chemo, while protecting healthy cells. But again, this should be discussed with the oncology team first, especially since he is already weak and not eating much. Many people in the metabolic community also explore adjuncts such as: - Ketogenic or low-carb nutrition - Blood sugar management - Adequate protein and micronutrients - Ivermectin / mebendazole / fenbendazole (under medical supervision) - Vitamin D optimization - Omega-3, curcumin, EGCG, melatonin, etc. Most importantly, try to work alongside the doctors rather than against them. Combining supportive metabolic approaches with standard care is often the safest and most practical path. See attached the Orthomolecular paper published in 2024 for reference.

Hi Surya, how is your dad feeling after receiving the first dose? Generally speaking, side effects after infusion usually tend to peak on day 3.
