Advice please
My heart is heavy. My friend is going downhill fast with her cancer. She is finding it hard to eat and take all the supplements she has been given. She has Ivermectin Paste and Fenben but wants to wait until she sees an integrative physician this thursday. We have been looking at IVC and Hyperbaric therapy. Is 1.5 pressure enough? I was told that she needs 2 ATA for real progress but then i read 1.5 I have just read on substack from "repurposed oncologist" that now its better to do the 3/4 day metabolic pulse protocol. says the data shows that continuous daily dosing fails and how a structed seventy two hour wave prevents tumor adaptation. Can you advise me. My friend has liver problems as well and has been told that Ivermectin not good? Im sure dying is worse than worrying too much about your liver at this stage? Love your advice. thank you so much

@Cheryl Mcduff I have been in this boat many times. This sounds brutal, but don’t expend too much emotional currency if there’s strong evidence she doesn’t want to change. I have tried to help some friends of my parents whose carers wanted metabolic therapy guidance, but they were not open to anything unconventional. And then when some changed their mind it was sadly too late. Even as an integrative cancer coach myself, it’s really hard not to burn yourself out trying to rush people through the change readiness stages. It’s particularly difficult when someone has lost the “will to survive” as you put it.

@Cheryl Mcduff this is definitely not my area of expertise, but studying to become a nutritionist I did learn a bit about fatty liver and bile issues that can impact liver enzymes. If she’s not into alternative stuff it’s definitely not a herbal overdose. Has she already been on a lot of drugs with high toxicity? Other things I’m wondering about and that may be worth exploring are alcohol, fructose or if something could be obstructing the bile duct, e.g. if not tumours then enlarged nodes, gallstones, cysts, or even pancreatitis. There’s so many possibilities, so maybe it’s worth considering an ultra sound? Sorry these are all what ifs and not very helpful. But my friend was recently diagnosed with metastatic colon cancer because she had liver pain and elevated markers and asked for an ultrasound. Prior to that they just said she had polyps that needed removing. Sometimes you have to advocate for testing that don’t seem extra at all - it seems common sense, but the longer I’ve had cancer the more I’ve realised common sense doesn’t always prevail in our medical systems. 😢
❤️ It’s Been A While… How Is Everyone Doing?
Hi Warriors ❤️ It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted, and I wanted to check in with everyone. As many of you know, I’ve been going through an incredibly difficult time following the loss of my mum. She was my best friend and the inspiration behind this community. I’ve needed some time to process everything and focus on my family. There are still many unanswered questions surrounding her final hospital admission. I’ve requested access to her medical records and am currently waiting for them. Unfortunately, progress has been slow, and it feels as though things became more defensive once concerns about potential clinical negligence were raised. At the moment, I’m trying to understand exactly what happened. There are several aspects of her care that I still struggle to reconcile, including concerns about severe COVID pneumonitis that appeared to be dismissed, decisions made during her admission, and the rapid decline that followed. My hope is that obtaining the records will provide some clarity and answers. Sometimes I find myself wondering “what if?” and wishing we had been given more time. Everything happened so quickly, and we never even had the opportunity to try the new protocol from Astron Health that we had been exploring. Since losing my mum, I’ve found myself replaying everything over and over in my head. Wondering if there was something else I could have tried, another question I could have asked, another avenue I could have explored. But if I’m completely honest, my biggest regret isn’t a treatment, a protocol, or a therapy that we didn’t try. My biggest regret is not showing her more love. I was so focused on finding answers. So focused on finding a cure so that she could live. I spent countless hours researching, reading studies, analysing scans, tracking symptoms, and learning everything I possibly could. Every day felt like a race against time. I was constantly thinking about the next step, the next blood test, the next scan, the next treatment, the next possibility.

Thank you for sharing this - it’s deeply personal and requires vulnerability! The “what ifs” are a natural part of human reflection, but don’t let regrets use up a disproportionate amount of your prefrontal cortex’s capacity. Keep fighting for access to the medical records, but don’t entangle your own guilt in it because it’s going to be an absolute shit-show. You did more than anyone could have both before, during and after. There were no stones left unturned by you. Could you have changed your role as a son and advocate to have spent more time present with your mum? - Yes. But having family who passively accept SOC without considering adjuncts and ways to prolong quality of life probably would have caused her more suffering. We unfortunately can’t have it both ways. And you’re the leader of cancer warriors and warriors don’t quit because it’s more comfortable - they make tough, well-researched and ballsy decisions. So please don’t be so hard on yourself. This life is only temporary and if your mum doesn’t already know it (which I’m so sure she WOULD) you can tell her all about it in the next life. 🥰 Answers to some of your questions; I have stopped researching and popping pills while I wait to do my scan. I also feel I am less engaged in important relationships and now two of my close friends have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer, so I am learning to be a supportive friend - not a loud, potty mouth self-appointed advocate who doesn’t listen and wants to cultivate some ridiculous, perfect integrative pathway so they avoid my mistakes and early ignorance. To get me out of cancer land, I’m forcing myself to post something different 6 days a week on my Instagram for 6 weeks and I’m on week 3. It’s super embarrassing and icky, but it’s made a HUGE difference to my level of self-depreciation and has reminded me of all my skills and passions. I feel like my identity is shifting and I’m remembered old parts of me - English teacher me, songwriter me, gymrat me, travel me, etc. And despite the fact I’ve lost 500+ “followers” and algorithm daddy hates me even more (apparently people only want to see fucking cancer content) I am NOT stopping!
How melatonin kills cancer cells, Casey Peavler
Here is Dr Casey Peavler's 2026 May 28 Youtube concise survey of this topic in case you have yet to encounter it. There are many prior posts here at Cancer Warriors regarding melatonin fighting cancer to find and read also. I take 1 gram of melatonin every day at noon and I do not have cancer as far as I know other than any new skin cancers to add to the >100 skin cancers (twice receiving chemo) (9 times receiving Mohs surgeries) I have had in the past that occur at a much reduced rate now that I eat a high fat carnivore diet, keep my 1,25 hydroxy D3 at 120 ng/ml blood serum, and melatonin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcAV-PBIBaU

@Cheryl Mcduff agreed!
Lifetime student.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of this group. Reading your stories is both happy and sad. So many brave and inspiring people here. The majority of my family has either died of cancer or has had cancer. My mom at 42 when i was 15 years old and my dad at 59. One sister breast and secondary bone *but still here and another with Chronic Leukemia. I have always been interested in integrated health especially for cancer. I read and read and read and listen to podcasts every day to increase my knowledge. Have done for years now. Appreciate and follow the work of Prof Seyfried. I now get lots of people asking me advice which obviously I have to be mindful of as not a dr. I point them in the direction of groups like these and Prof Seyfrieds work. I have been reading a lot of your posts and taking notes as to what you are all doing. Thank you for the opportunity.

Norms reminder - dietary dogma
Hi everyone, I just wanted to remind everyone to keep our group norms in mind when expressing our views about dietary interventions. I’ve noticed there is a little bit of dietary dogma (likely unintentional) going on and some contentions being expressed in ways that are getting close to the line of giving medical advice. While most of us follow Prof. Seyfried’s low GKI approach as part of metabolic therapy, this is not a carnivore group. Prof. Seyfried himself doesn’t prescribe a specific diet, he just recommends we get into nutritional ketosis and “drive the GKI way down.” One of the reasons this group was created was that in the “Keto for Cancer” group (in which some of us initially connected mid-2024) people who were not carnivore were vilified. I was one of these people. I was asked by the creator of that group to post photos of my meals (general keto, vegetarian keto and carnivore) and I did this pretty regularly with the intention of being helpful and inclusive. Then, when the creator quickly shifted his dietary stance to meat-only (in order to repackage and sell his own diet plan that he previously lacked success in) things got ideological and nasty. This is the context leading up to when I was suddenly questioned for posting meals that included olives, avocado and other plant-based fats. I was told this was “probably why people like [me] end up with cancer.” Not only is such a comment insensitive, there is no medical or scientific evidence for it. As such, if I have ever in any way made anyone who has had success with a vegetarian or vegan ketogenic diet feel bad, I sincerely apologise for this. Whether someone is having success with a strict carnivore diet, “dirty” carnivore diet, animal-based diet, omnivore ketogenic diet, vegetarian ketogenic diet, Mediterranean diet, calorie restricted diet, or even a vegan diet, it is not our place to give unsolicited dietary advice. With positive intent, we can certainly reference studies and draw on our own lived experience. I am a qualified nutritionist and have tried different ketogenic diets, but I only share my lived experience - I do not profess to know which diet is most universally applicable in the context of cancer management. There is no data to irrefutably support this yet. So, when I talk about my concerns about the extent to which my overconsumption of animal protein impact growth signals IGF-1 and mTOR - which are upregulated in my own cancer cells - this is about MY situation only. My intention is not to fear-monger and it is absolutely fine to disagree with this. But it is not appropriate to give unsolicited medical advice to other warriors in favour of the dietary approach that aligns with your current views. It is also against our group norms to take my lived experience (or anyone’s lived experience) and use it as a false pretext for attacking my views and taking them out of context.
