Yeah, I was wondering about the “sudden” appearance of a liver tumor. However, the area hasn’t been scanned in a while, and the liver is a place it would likely metastasize. I couldn’t help but think the hot spot couldn’t be from something else, maybe an overworked area processing all the supplements I’ve been taking :-/.
I am definitely leaning towards histotripsy, but after speaking with the specialists, the tumor is larger than they typically work on. In theory, they could do two passes, but they don’t have any data on the success rate of multiple ablations, and I’d be under anesthesia for something like 6-7 hours.
The oncologist are recommending Y-90 radioembolization which is a minute amount of radiation at the tumor site. Not ideal as far as the CT’s and digital moving x-rays they need, but it does have good results.
In the meantime, I have a natural/functional health provider that I’m working with. She’s a DO that helped her husband and a colleagues brother overcome cancer. She recommends a multi-pronged approach. My hope is that it can provide immediate results, maybe even shrinking the tumor in my liver enough to use Histsotripsy instead of Y90.
The DO’s approach uses a few more commonly recognized “European” therapies.
A great deal of blood tests from a company called RGCC – RGCC is a type of cancer blood test developed by a Swiss company. It aims to detect, analyze, and monitor cancer cells at various stages of the disease. The tests focus on identifying circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and their concentration in the blood, which can provide valuable insights into cancer presence and treatment effectiveness. It should provide insight into the effectiveness of common chemotheraputics and natural extracts/chemicals like Bee Venom or Sulphurophane.
I’m waiting for those results to come back, but in the meantime she’s started a protocol. Most of the products on the list I’m fine with – like Ivermectin, Fenbendozole, Mistletoe Extract, Rosemary Extract, Green Tea Extract, Low Dose Naltrexone, D3, K2, Liposomal Vit. C, & Ginko. Some things I’m not sure about include Melatonin, Pancreatin (I think it’s just a digestive enzyme) and OmegaMax (which is an Omega 3 oil meant to target Cox2, h-TERT, Ras/Raf/MEK/Erk, IGFR 1&2 and EpCAM). I believe several other natural products I’m already taking will target the same things (curcumin/green tea), and if it’s a flavanol that may be targeting those genes, I’ll just have some olive oil!
She also has IV’s of Vitamin C Ozone. I have not studied the Ozone but I’m assuming it’s relatively safe.
Another set of “potential” additions include the Care Oncology protocol of
Metformin, Atorvastatin and Doxycycline. These are not hard recommendations, but I’ll tell her I’m fine with Doxy, but not the others. I’m sure I can find plenty of (Peat) acceptable alternatives. The Care Onclology protocol is all about “starving’ cancer – so it sees sugar, more than fat, as a target for extreme reduction. I’ll continue to use something in Haidut’ss protocol like aspirin or niacinamide to correct the issues with lipids.
She recommends quite a few other things, like Hyperthermia/sauna, detox (coffee enemas) and a low carb/keto diet. Naturally, I’m not a fan of the low carb diet, and increasing fat isn’t an option – I’m seriously considering a raw milk only diet. She recommends 60-80 carbs a day – If I had a 1/2 gallon of milk a day, it would be 60g protein and 90ish grams of carbs. I could attempt to filter it to get it down to 3-4 percent fat, which I think would be acceptable.
One of my concerns is liver health & safety. I’m not sure I should over -stress it right now with an active tumor. I’m trying to discern which supplements might be problematic and necessitate a cautious approach.
