FIRST NED

Companions in this journey,

I'm delighted to share with you that last week I had an appointment with my oncologist, and we reviewed the results of my PET scan. In terms of the exam, there is no hypermetabolism, which means there's no evidence of tumors in my body at that level.

To provide some context, I was diagnosed with breast cancer with bone metastasis in January 2024. I started my standard treatment with Kisqali and a hormonal inhibitor (Letrozole). At that point, I had a lot of lower back pain, which was actually what led me to the doctor in the first place and revealed the terrifying diagnosis. The cause of that pain was lesions on my vertebrae and bones in the sacrum, iliac crest, and some ribs. This led to a treatment of 10 radiotherapy sessions. After the sessions, I noticed a huge improvement in terms of pain and mobility.

Metabolic Therapy Journey

After overcoming that first crisis, I began my journey with metabolic therapy in approximately May 2024. Little by little, I incorporated as many elements as possible into it. The first thing I did was to start a ketogenic diet and aim for the desired GKI of 2. For several months, I was able to achieve this almost consistently because I consumed very few calories, very few carbohydrates (10g per day), and very little protein (1g per kg of weight). The fats consumed were between 3 and 4 times the protein. While this allowed me to have a GKI of 2 or sometimes even less than 1, the weight loss became concerning, and at times, I felt weak. This weakness would subside if I ate a good portion of meat.

This led me to increase my protein intake to 1.5g per kg of weight and to increase carbohydrates to 20 or 30g per day, while maintaining the fat ratio at four times the amount of protein. Since September of last year, I have maintained this way of eating, and although my GKI often doesn't reach 2, staying more around 3 or 3.5, I feel energetic all the time. Plus, I'm more in control of the changes I need to make to get back to the coveted 2, in terms of choosing foods that transform best in my body.

Additional Protocols and Lifestyle Changes

Since July of last year, I've been taking fenbendazole and CBD according to Joe Tippens' protocol. In addition, I take metformin (1700mg per day in 2 doses) and dapagliflozin (10mg once a day).

As part of the protocols, I've had 20 sessions of hyperbaric chamber and approximately 30 to 40 megadoses of intravenous vitamin C. I started using vitamin C by gradually increasing the dose with the expectation of reaching 1g per kg of weight, but when I exceeded 0.25g per kg of weight, I experienced very severe diarrhea, and I decided to stick with that dose.

I drink a lot of green tea infusion and turmeric, which I'm fortunate enough to be able to grow at home. The carbohydrates I consume come from vegetables like broccoli, mushrooms, spinach, onion, and garlic. I avoid processed food or "barcode food," as Dr. Beckman would say, as much as possible. I get a lot of sun exposure; living in the tropics allows me to have abundant availability.

Mental and Spiritual Well-being

Obviously, many times I considered using DON and incorporating other compounds like CDA or 2DG. I didn't do it because my previous tests already showed some level of progress.

I have also worked a lot on my mental state and faith, and I believe that much of my result has come from that focus. Learning about this disease and the factors that brought it into my life has allowed me to make changes in how I think, feel, and see everything. My internal dialogue is kinder to myself, and I avoid situations that cause me anger or fear as much as possible. The people around me, friends and family, have been very empathetic and have supported my process respectfully and solidarity.

I received the NED (No Evidence of Disease) news with great joy, but also with great calm because I know that this disease will continue to determine many decisions in my life. The protocols essentially don't change at all. Everything remains the same, but the burden certainly feels lighter.
