My prayers go out to you and your husband <span class=”atwho-inserted” contenteditable=”false” data-atwho-at-query=”@Lysa”>@lysanderswife </span>.
Many good thoughts have been posted here. A couple things come to mind. I wonder if your husband’s Vitamin D levels have been checked? It seems that in review of those that had their cancers go into remission from chemotherapy and those that did not the Vitamin D levels were high in those that achieved remission and low in those that did not.
Haidut also mentioned Dr Peats observation on high dose Aspirin up to four grams per day if memory serves. I would of course recommend Vitamin K2 to mitigate any bleeding that might accompany this high of a dosage of Aspirin.
Haidut also had done some experiments with his product Pyrucet. He mentioned a woman in Bulgaria with terminal stage four glioblastoma. Providing pyruvate to the cells seemed to help possibly dedifferentiate the cancer cells in question back to healthy cells. The story goes that she was sent home and was able to return to work. This might be something worth taking the time to research.
At the risk of sounding redundant eliminating any and all PUFA would be a first priority. But starting at the basics first, and trying to restore oxidative phosphorylation and eliminating the blockage in the electron transport chain to help restore optimal mitochondrial function, and quieting the call for cortisol and gluconeogenesis that is at the heart of cachexia.
