Priorities In The War
This is just a piggy-back off of Bernardo’s recent post, and I’m hopeful it can serve as supplemental to the information that he already provided in it, as I believe his post was articulate, detailed, well thought out, and very helpful. I thoroughly appreciated reading it! I don’t get on here that much recently as things in my personal life have ramped up a lot, but as a refresher, I started an account here because my mom and dad have cancer (my mom’s was stage IV small cell ovarian cancer and my dad’s was less serious — papillary thyroid cancer which they were able to remove via surgery) I wanted to learn, and hoped that Lord willing, I could be of help to others who have/had cancer as well. I am in contact with Bernardo off this platform here and there, and appreciate his dedication to this as well. I recognized that he had spent hours and hours and hours of research as well, and we have bounced things off of each other on occasion. To the point. With my mom, (as I pretty much did all the research and my parents trusted the results—which was very humbling and also could become very stressful for me because it felt like her success was largely in my hands….this led to the necessity to remind myself of the basics which I’ll explain in a moment and resting in the Lord as ultimately in control) Through all the time I spent studying, I was very intentional not to get lost in the tunnel vision of “cancer only”. (I’ll explain later—this is important, and I believe Bernardo did a good job mentioning this) I wholeheartedly believe cancer is metabolic, and I believe that genetic mutations merely make certain people more susceptible to cancer due to the body’s normal defenses, which would protect from mitochondrial damage, being compromised, (e.g. BRCA-1, BRCA-2, Tp53) These genetic mutations do not cause cancer, they simply compromise the body’s natural defenses to damaged mitochondria. It is the damage to the mitochondria that leads to dysfunctional mitochondrial activity and insufficient oxphos.

Some things I’ve learned through all of this (with my mum)
I’ve been thinking a lot after everything that’s happened recently with my mum. The hospital situation, the pneumonitis, the uncertainty… it forces one to step back and really see things clearly. So I wanted to share a few things I’ve learned through this journey, things I think a many of us overlook. Consistency matters more than having the perfect protocol. Timing actually makes a big difference (press and pulse isn’t just theory). It’s not just about throwing everything at cancer, it’s about combining things intelligently. Supporting the immune system is just as important as targeting the cancer itself Inflammation can completely change the picture (and mislead you if you’re not careful). I’m more convinced than ever that cancer is heavily metabolic, not just genetic. Targeting the relevant pathways and drivers of your specific cancer seems far more powerful than focusing on one. A lot of therapies work better when timed properly (HBOT, IV Vitamin C, etc.) The “terrain” (inflammation, gut health, immune function) plays a massive role… Tumour markers like CA125 can spike from inflammation alone so context is everything. I’ve seen how easy it is for people, including me at times, to overcomplicate things… Burnout is real and this is a long game… Tracking symptoms alongside labs gives a much clearer picture. Gut issues (especially after antibiotics or infection) can set things back more than expected… Simple and consistent beats complex and inconsistent every time. Timing and synergy matter more than people think. Never ignore inflammation or gut health. Don’t panic at one data point and always look at the full picture. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Try to remain calm/grounded and avoid negative thoughts if possible, the mind is quite tricky. The role of the mind matters more than we think. Whether you call it belief, faith, mindset, or even the placebo effect, there’s something powerful there that shouldn’t be ignored. I’ve seen how much perspective, hope, and inner state can influence how people go through this journey.

adequate vitamin D3 significantly increases immune system destruction of cancer
Fact, vitamin D3 is a central requirement to fight cancer. My vitamin D3 blood concentration has been approximately 120 nanogram per milliliter in blood for over 15 years, supplementing 10,000 IU per day daily for over 15 years. My 120 ng/ml target was based on Doctor Holick's recommendation. Decades ago Doctor Holick figured out what the active form of D3 is, 1, 25 hydroxy D3, created a blood test for it, and wrote the book 'Vitamin D3' and made D3 slide presentations and Youtube videos. In his book Doctor Holick asserted that > 60 ng per ml is required to fight cancer with the immune system. I wondered what his basis was for this assertion. It took me 10 years to demonstrate that doctor Holick was correct, as my skin cancer rate went down by factors of 2 then 4 then 8 then 16 then my sun damaged skin lesions and precancers began to vanish. It took me 10 years to figure out that it is quite important to supplement vitamin K2 and amino acid taurine with natural D3 (food, sun light) or supplement D3, with possible dire consequences of failing to. For more than 15 years my doctors have argued with me that 120 ng/ml is too high and can ruin kidneys and health. For 15 years I corrected my doctors, saying that what they mean is that healthy levels of D3 (120 ng/ml) via supplementation without proper nutrition, without adequate vitamin K2 and amino acid taurine can have these consequences in some people. I eat half a pound of hard cheese a day for K2. I eat a strict high fat carnivore diet for 4 years. The World Health Organization scholarly articles that beef contains a chemical which irritates to lining of the bowels may be somewhat correct for the mega doses studied, but I think are purposefully misleading propaganda as there are thousands of chemicals in plants that are far worse in laboratory conditions and actually damaging billions of real human beings and associated with cancer prevalence. D3 supplements are made from mushrooms, as mushrooms in UV light (sun light) synthesize and contain significant D3. Carnivore diet is known to greatly increase kidney function in older people in general and in those with poor kidney function including dialysis patients. US units: nanogram per milliliter of blood 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin 3 (calciferol). There are molar concentration conversion calculators available with internet search.

How tumor hypoxia impacts cancer treatment - Dr Casey Peavler
https://youtu.be/AvFJU5s5AKs?si=DjC23Spsh3qUnjrb Cancer sufferers online indicate that hyperbaric oxygen can cure cancers. I know of no one first party to me who used hyperbaric oxygen. The mother of my children was unable to use hyperbaric oxygen for many months after her brain cancer surgery, and thereafter declined it. She has passed on.
