On Wednesday, June 18th at 8:13 PM, we said goodbye to Den Stacey—husband, father, friend, teacher, warrior, and leader in the metabolic cancer healing world. Many of you knew Den because of what he achieved when the odds were against him in 2022. Facing a terminal diagnosis of pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma, Den used the press pulse protocol to achieve NED and stay there for a year, defying every expectation. And he didn’t keep that knowledge to himself. Den spent his final years helping others understand and implement Press Pulse protocols with me by his side and our good friend, Daniel Orrego. He opened his life, his inbox, and his heart to hundreds of people walking the same terrifying path. He taught from lived experience, and he did it with clarity, humor, and compassion. His story gave people hope—and still does. In late 2024, Den’s cancer returned aggressively and by the time it was discovered, the tumor in his heart had grown significantly and metastasized to other parts of his body, including his hip, which fractured in March. This fracture, combined with his need for healing and pain management, made it impossible to restart the protocol. For the past six months, we have carried the brutal weight of knowing what to do, but being unable to do it. Den’s physical body simply couldn’t withstand the necessary interventions—despite our preparation, planning, and absolute commitment. He passed away surrounded by love, and we have no doubt that metabolic therapy gave us years we otherwise wouldn’t have had. We are deeply grateful for that. We know that many of you will have questions. Please know that Den remained deeply faithful to the power of this work, and so do we. He was proud of the impact he made, and we are working on preserving and expanding that legacy for others. Den’s story was never just about the science—it was about the human spirit, about reclaiming health through beauty, love, and ferocity. We will carry that forward in his name. With gratitude,

We’re new to this group, so I wanted to introduce ourselves and share how we ended up here—deep in the world of metabolic therapies, learning everything the hard way, and doing everything we can to make cancer boring. Den was originally diagnosed in October 2022, we were handed the standard grim prognosis (full details at www.selfrescuesociety.com if you're interested), which we refused to accept. We had helped a friends mother a year prior and had come across Dr. Thomas Seyfried’s work on cancer metabolism from the infamous Cross-Fit video and we immediately devoured Cancer as a Metabolic Disease. We decided Dec 2022 we had to figure out how to actually implement this—not just in theory, but in the real world, for real people, for us. Dr. Seyfried connected us with Daniel Orrego, who helped us navigate some early hurdles. From there, we built a metabolic protocol for humans—one we could actually track, refine, and adapt as needed and then we tested it on ourselves. It worked. Den reached No Evidence of Disease (NED) in 4 protocols. No chemo. No radiation. Just full commitment, a ridiculous amount of data collection, a healthy go fund me and some good old-fashioned survival instinct. Since that diagnosis, we’ve been able to meet one-on-one with hundreds of people, helping them implement their own Press Pulse Protocols. But let’s be honest: this is not easy for people. It’s a full-time job. And when paired with Standard of Care, it often drags out the process rather than accelerating it, or complicating it completely. Instead of taking time to recover in Summer 2023, we jumped headfirst into helping , building projects, taking calls, answering questions, coaching, supporting. Not paying attention to our own health. And now? We’ve become the model for what happens when you take your eyes off the disease. Den’s sarcoma came roaring back. Den now has a 7.5 cm x 6.7 cm x 7.0 cm tumor sitting in his pulmonary artery. It has overtaken his right hip and 7 cm of femur so, his hip is broken and mobility is gone, and there’s not a lot of space left to breathe.
