Hi all, this is a great lecture by the highly intelligent and humble Dr Tomas Duraj - a research partner of Prof. Seyfried who kindly wrote the foreword for my book. Obviously Prof. Seyfried is the GOAT, but I find Dr Duraj’s presentations about metabolic therapy and in particular his explanation of OXPHOS and AMPK much easier to digest.

Here’s a short write-up you can use: Cancer is one of the most dangerous illnesses affecting people across the world. It does not discriminate by age, race, or status, and it often arrives quietly, growing in the body before signs are noticed. Many people living with cancer endure intense physical pain, emotional stress, and fear of the unknown. Families and loved ones also suffer, watching someone they care about fight a battle they cannot fight for them. What makes cancer especially dangerous is how fast it can spread if not detected early. It attacks the body’s cells, weakening vital organs and making everyday life difficult. Treatments like chemotherapy and radiation are harsh, often leaving patients exhausted and vulnerable, yet they continue to fight with courage and hope. Despite its danger, cancer has also shown the strength of the human spirit. Many survivors stand as proof that early detection, medical care, and strong support can save lives. This is why awareness, regular health checks, and compassion for those affected are so important. Cancer is deadly, but with knowledge, care, and unity, it can be confronted.

To every one of you walking this path — whether you’re fighting, supporting someone you love, researching late at night, or simply trying to hold things together — I want you to know how deeply respected you are. This journey is not easy. It takes courage, resilience, curiosity, and heart. And yet, despite everything, this community continues to show up with generosity, wisdom, and care for one another. That matters more than words can express. Christmas can bring joy, but it can also bring reflection, uncertainty, and mixed emotions — and all of that is okay. Wherever you find yourself today, please know you’re not alone. Wishing you peace, moments of warmth, and renewed hope as we move toward a new year together 💚

Hi everyone, I’m just sharing questions I have for my oncologist as he’s a colorectal cancer researcher. I’ll report back on Jan 6 after my appointment with him. I’m not asking questions to the group - I just can’t be fucked changing it to statements because it’s 35 degrees today, feels like 40 degrees and I’m dying 🤣. Hopefully if you have the same risk factors, this could help guide further research. Also, a 10 year HBOT study shows if you do it before and after radiation, side effects were reduced or non-existent in 80% of participants (rectal cancer). It’s only subsided for brain cancer patients in Australia and the TGA are cunts here. But if you can get a subsidy, go for it! It also reduces drug resistance and can improve chemo efficacy. Questions: Have you had any patients on Rapamycin? I have been looking into this and believe there are early stage clinical trials going on for its use in drug resistant colorectal cancer and specifically its synergistic effects with 5-FU, e.g. inhibits mTOR, increases senescence, decreases thymidylate syntheses and angiogenesis etc. Have you ever used or researched inhibitors of ABCG2 pumps to reverse MDR1 over-expression? I noticed the cells in the length of my tumour decreased (assuming these are the neoplasmic cells sensitive to capecitabine) but the width snd height have grown quickly, so perhaps these are the more resistant populations. What is the best way to target VEGF and ANG overexpressions? These are the highest risk factors for angiogenesis that came up on my Onconomics testing, along with FGF, PDGF, and ANG1 and 2. Vabysmo looks promising but can impact eye health. Have you ever used Avastin as an adjunct outside of its use along side other immunotherapy drugs to block VEGF? I have 35% sensitivity to this and there’s promising data when used with chemo or metabolic therapy and HBOT, but Keytruda, Opdivo and Yervoy were completely useless for me because I have normal expression of MMR genes and no MMR deficiency.
