A Post I Made in Other Community

I wanted to share a post I made in other community, as I think it's also relevant and useful here:

I've attached a comprehensive questionnaire for Tracking and Documenting Experiences with Metabolic Therapy.

I developed it together with a help from my friend. Actually he did all the work 🙂

Please note that I am not a research expert, so this is the extent of my contribution.

For further technical discussions on refining the questionnaire to achieve optimal results, I recommend consulting a research expert.

Here's a comprehensive questionnaire designed for online platforms like SurveyMonkey or Typeform, focusing on experiences with metabolic therapy.

Questionnaire Title: Tracking and Documenting Experiences with Metabolic Therapy

Introduction (Displayed at the beginning of the survey):

Thank you for participating in this important research initiative.

This questionnaire aims to track and document the experiences of individuals using metabolic therapy and related approaches for cancer issues.

Your contributions will help build a valuable dataset for long-term analysis and potentially establish large national cohorts.

Please be assured that all responses are anonymous, and the survey will remain open indefinitely, allowing you to contribute at your convenience.

Section 1: Background Information

1. What is your primary cancer diagnosis? (Open text field)
2. How long have you been dealing with this? (Dropdown: Less than 1 year, 1-3 years, 3-5 years, 5-10 years, 10+ years)
3. Have you been formally diagnosed by an Oncologist? (Multiple Choice: Yes, No, Unsure)
4. If yes, what was the full diagnosis? (Open text field)
5. What other health conditions, if any, do you have? (Open text field)

Section 2: Metabolic Therapy and Related Approaches

6. Have you used Metabolic therapy? (Multiple Choice: Yes, No) (If Yes to Q6): 6a. How long have you been using Metabolic therapy? (Dropdown: Less than 1 month, 1-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, 1+ year) 6b. What specific components of Metabolic therapy have you used? (Checkboxes: Please select all that apply. Include options based on the specific components of Metabolic therapy. Example: Press Pulse Protocol, Specific exercises, specific repurposed drugs and supplements, specific mindset techniques, etc. Add an "Other (please specify)" option with an open text field.) 6c.

7. Have you used the Press Pulse protocol? (Multiple Choice: Yes, No) (If Yes to Q7): 7a. How long have you been using the Press Pulse protocol? (Dropdown: Less than 1 month, 1-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, 1+ year) 7b. What specific aspects of the Press Pulse protocol have you implemented? (Checkboxes: List key aspects of the protocol. Example: Press Protocol: 1. Diet: Ketogenic diet, Keto carnivore diet, Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet, etc. 2. Exercise: Aerobic, Zone 2 aerobic, resistant training, HIIT, etc. 3. Supplement: Curcumin, EGCG, Vit D3 and K2, Melatonin, Lugol’s iodine, Milk thistle, MCT oil, Ginger, etc. Pulse Protocol: 1. Repurposed drugs: Ivermectin, Mebendazole, Fenbendazole, DON, etc. 2. Others: HBOT, Hydrogenated gas and water, sauna, etc. Add an "Other (please specify)" option with an open text field.)

Section 3: Personalized Approaches

8. Dietary Regimen: (Open text field: Please describe any dietary changes you have made, including specific diet including the diet macro targets of protein, fat and carbs (e.g., Diet: Ketogenic diet, Keto carnivore diet, Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet, etc.)
9. Exercise Regimen: (Open text field: Please describe your exercise routine, including frequency, type of exercise, and duration.)
10. Supplements: (Open text field: Please list any supplements you are taking, including dosage and frequency.)
11. Medications (Prescription and Over-the-Counter): (Open text field: Please list any medications you are taking, including dosage and frequency. You do not need to provide specific names if you prefer not to. You can use general categories like "antidepressant" or "pain reliever.")
12. Other Treatments/Therapies: (Checkboxes: Select all that apply. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, Hydrogenated water/gas, Sauna/Steam room, Meditation/Mindfulness practices, Breathing exercises, Acupuncture, Other (please specify)) (If “Other” is selected): (Open text field: Please specify.)

Section 4: Progress and Outcomes

13. Overall, how would you rate your progress since starting these approaches? (Scale: 1- Not at all improved, 2- Slightly improved, 3- Moderately improved, 4- Significantly improved, 5- Completely recovered/Symptoms resolved)
14. Please describe any specific improvements you have experienced among others scan results, symptoms improvements. (Open text field)
15. Have you experienced any negative side effects or challenges? (Multiple Choice: Yes, No) (If Yes to Q15): (Open text field: Please describe.)
16. Is there anything else you would like to share about your experience? (Open text field)

Closing Statement:

Thank you for your valuable contribution to this research. Your responses will help us better understand the experiences of individuals using metabolic therapy and related approaches.

Key Considerations for Online Platform Implementation:

Anonymous Responses: Ensure the survey settings are configured to collect anonymous responses. Do not collect IP addresses or other identifying information.
Branching Logic: Utilize branching logic where appropriate (e.g., questions about specific therapies only appear if the respondent indicates they have used that therapy).
Open Text Fields: While open text fields provide rich qualitative data, be mindful of the potential for lengthy responses.
Progress Tracking: For long surveys, use progress bars to encourage completion.
Mobile Compatibility: Ensure the survey is mobile-friendly.

This comprehensive questionnaire provides a solid foundation for documenting experiences with metabolic therapy and related approaches.

Remember to adapt the specific components of metabolic therapy and the Press Pulse protocol to accurately reflect the relevant practices.

By collecting data over time, this ongoing survey will contribute significantly to understanding the potential benefits and challenges of these approaches.
