Histotripsy and PEF Ablations for Liver and Lung Cancer
I returned home after a 10-day trip, first for liver ablation using Histotripsy, at Good Shepherd Hospital in Hermiston, OR, by Dr. Kevin Burns, then to Mission Hospital for PEF (Pulsed Electric Fields) in Mission Viejo, CA, again performed by Dr. Kevin Burns. PET/CT scans will be performed at 3, 6, and 12-month intervals, with complete resolution expected for lung cancer nodule (PEF Protocol), and since I go back in December for further liver ablations, the PET/CT scans will show inflammation and a gradual decrease in SUV (Standardized Uptake Value) at each 3-month re-scan interval. Dr. Burns was trained at MD Anderson by Dr. Rahul Sheth, with whom I have a conference call on Monday, and whom will perform other ablations for my bone and joint cancers. Treating cancer this way, through ablations, will spare normal tissue from the necrotizing effects using radiation and other harmful substances, and liquid biopsies will be done at appropriate intervals to assess the cancer cell counts to insure we are keeping up with cancer mutations. Diet will be ketogenic, going by GKI readings, and will be viewed as Mediterranean, using a rotation of fish with some inclusion of beef and low-carb greens/vegetables. My weight has been between 65-67 Kg, the lowest I've been since college days, mostly due to the cachexia of cancer. Exercise is almost completely aerobic, as weight training is ruled out until bone and joint cancer is eliminated, due to high risk of fracture. Whenever that risk is eliminated, my weight will get in a healthier range between 70-75 Kg, as I rely more on body composition than scale weight, muscle being more protective of skeletal and organ systems. I took my second round of subQ Anktiva this week, taking it every 21 days, and keeping track of ALC, and NK cell counts, along with additional immunological tests, recommended by Dr. Gregory Howard, from the HRF (Hippocrates Research Foundation).

@Egg Scrambled Sounds real appetizing, but appreciate the good advice
How is everyone dealing with cancer pain?
Presently, the subscapular pain due to the cancer in my spine and ribs has been particularly bad, with sharp, stabbing pain. The pain in my left hip has moderated greatly. then moved to my right hip, and has moderated a lot the past week, so the left subscapilar pain is still the focal point of pain. I got back on Celebrex this week, since I can now use Tylenol, in moderation, which is a Cox 2 inhibitor, one type of pain that Tylenol is good for dealing with. It was able to help me reduce my need for morphine, but after 3 days of going cold turkey to get off morphine, I have found the kind of pain morphine is good for removing, has still been needed as the pain level reaches 9 and 10 at times. Since my histotripsy I received in Oregon, 10/23/25, about 1/3 of my cancer was ablated from the 2 larges masses, which allowed me to get back on Tylenol products when needed. I have been acutely aware that one cannot live with level 9 and 10 level pain, no matter how hard one tries. I used ice packs, gabapentin, and alternated with hot backs, and did contrast therapy, and whirlpool, and am waiting to receive a pulsed ultrasound from China, and don't know when it will arrive, as it's being held up with tariffs, though taxes, and duties were prepaid. When my friend Dr. Howard returns from Spain, he told me to come to his house and we will try various modalities, as he doesn't want to see me on pain meds anymore than I have to. The cryoablation is scheduled for the 21st of this month, which should remove 90% of my pain generation, and pain meds that go with it. How is everyone else dealing with their cancer pain?
Wormwood's Wisdom
My physician and the book by Andreas Kalcker (Forbidden Health) suggest using Artemisia Annua (wormwood) as an additional supplement to address the C. I tried searching for Artemisia Annua in this community, but the results were limited. Hence, I asked my super smart friend. The results are surprisingly positive, with some clinical human data available. It seems Big Pharma doesn't influence my friend 😀 Below are some interesting points from the report, and I've included the full report. Preclinical Cancer Models (Prostate Cancer) As noted, preclinical studies use the active compounds. The findings show these compounds do have anti-cancer and immunomodulatory effects in laboratory settings: 1. Artemisinin (Active Compound): In-vitro studies on LNCaP (lymph node carcinoma of the prostate) human prostate cancer cells found that artemisinin treatment triggers a "stringent G1 cell cycle arrest," which is a mechanism that stops cancer cells from progressing to the division phase.4 2. Artesunate (Derivative): Research on various prostate cancer cell lines (including LNCaP, DU145, and PC3) demonstrated that artesunate induces a significant, dose-dependent inhibition of cancer cell growth.1 Significant effects were first observed at concentrations as low as 5 ”M to 20 ”M, depending on the specific cell line.1 3. NK Cell Activation: In a key study on immune function, the active compound artemisinin was shown to directly activate Natural Killer (NK) cells. It "significantly enhances the cytolytic activity of NK cells in a dose-dependent manner".6 The mechanism was identified as the stimulation of granule exocytosis, which is the process NK cells use to release their cell-killing compounds.7 Point 3 is very interesting. My question: Has anyone here taken Artemisia Annua (wormwood), and if so, what were your results?

I haven't taken it for several months, and don't know what effects it had, but will look on my RGCC report.
Thank you Everyone!

@Siddharth Shukla This awful pestilence named cancer, takes from each family, and I mourn with you for your loss, and fully support you with prayers and positive thoughts for you and your family, knowing you are fortunate to have a lifetime of cherished memories.
Alternating/ Rotating treatments. Probably you are ignoring this.
More important than your health is your soul; more important than your life is the after life. put your faith in Jesus and trust him. Don't focus too much in your health more than it deserves. Anyway having a good health is something good and we must thank God for that mercy. In medicine industry and medicine doctrine or theories, there are things that are true and false. Supposing your "cancer" or 'disease/cancer caused by chemotherapy and/or radiation' whatever you have may be reversible by physical means, I mean by medicine, that is, supposing God may permits your healing through these means, you know, God has everything under his control, God can cure people miraculously and also He can make a person sick, and also give a person an incurable disease for sin or whatever reason; also as I understand people can also acquire diseases for bad health habits, like for example eating toxic food, inhaling toxic air, etc. But supposing God allows you to get cured/treated by medical treatment, What kind of treatment to choose? There are many! Which one is the good one for you? The keto and anti parasitic drugs? How do you know? The word 'Alternating' or ' rotating ' could be a very meaningful word for you then. You have all these treatments for cancer, and I mean natural treatments, not chemotherapy and dangerous treatments. You have all these natural treatments: keto diet, alkaline diet, vegan diet, carnivore diet, juicing, sauna, antiparasitic herbs, vitamin D, vitamin c, grapes, wine, fasting, yogurt , broccoli, etc...and you don't know which one could be beneficial for you, and you are running out of time. Just do it all! How? By ROTATING or ALTERNATING. This is probably the wiser medicine option. For instance, if you want to try the 4-8 glasses a day of vegetable juice treatment, do it for 2 days, then rotate to other treatment like for example being a carnivore for 2 days, then be a vegan for the next 2 days, then do turmeric for the next 2 days, then do fasting for the next 2 days, then do anti parasitic herbs for other 2 days, then do one ingredient diet for 2 days, then do whole grain diet for 2 days, then do salty water fasting for the next 2 days, etc..., and when you finish all the options come back to the beginning and repeat it again.

@Ricardo Rodriguez You don't meed to add the Tagline, "Probably you are ignoring this", but you would attract more interest if you pointed out the benefits of going through the many ups-and-down of this life. Once in the place that Jesus said that His Father had prepared for them, which is and isn't our place in eternity, but more practically, that He would send the Gift of His Holy Spirit, so that His Children would have instant access to Jesus, and the Father, as Jesus Himself said that "You have seen me, you've seen the Father", the Holy Spirit is part of the mystery of what we call the Trinity. I don't prepose to understand the Divine Mysteries, but that is the definition of Faith, the beliefe in things not seen. Christianity has been accused in believing in multiple Gods. One has to study, pray, and ask God to reveal to the best of our understanding, His mysteries, as we have what is termed "the God-head", all 3 manifestations of God the Father, that which was from the beginning, His Son, given to All mankind for the redemption of us, in eternity, and His Holy Spirit, the Spiritual form of the Son, and the Father, who abides in all who call on the name of Jesus with the sincere belief that Jesus was the sacrificial lamb as portrayed in the Old Testament writings, those things given to the true offspring of Abraham, a people called out of the least of nations, not the greatest. The lessons I have taken from my time in this body, with Cancer being the most arduous, combined with the combined totality of the "ups-and-down" of my life, are what prepares us for the next life. Did we help other people, or did we seek a life apart of everyone else, just being focused on our problems? I hope not, as we are all called to serve as priests to others, doing good when the chance presents itself. Then, cancer, taken from the "30,000 foot" view of our life, might become clearer. It all get's down to what Jesus said was the most important commandment: "To love our neighbor as ourself" and to :Love God with our whole heart, mind, and soul".
