No vaccines EVER? That’s a tall order these days. I (foolishly) took one flu shot in my adult life, but that was well over 15 years ago. I also believe I had the standard shots when I was a kid, but it was only like 6-8 or so, not the 72 like are given to today’s kids.
I had not heard about that study, so can’t comment on it.
Also, remember, even though the Covid vaccines are called “vaccines,” they aren’t like any other vaccine in history. They are really more of a novel drug. I don’t think vaccines are safe, and after looking into all the fraud around virology, think any “viral” vaccine couldn’t possibly do anything positive, health wise. But the more novel Covid “Vaccines” are far more dangerous, as proven by the VAERS data alone.
I tend to think that vaccines, when they have issues, would be similar to other poisons- their affect would be acute, and long term issues would be triggered in a fairly short amount of time, likely as a result of some short term effect. Like, if you broke a bone, that is an acute injury, but it could potentially have effects for months/years/decades depending on how it is set, heals, and so forth.
While this certainly would suggests that avoiding the shots is a good thing, I would hardly consider the results “alarming.” This study uses the same Relative Risk Reduction chicanery that other studies do. The quote attributed to Mark Twain still rings in my head- Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics.
If you look at the overall cancer chart, 30 people per 10,000 get cancer in the unvaccinated group, while 40 people per 10,000 got cancer in the vaccinated group. This is a difference of 10 per 10,000, or a paltry 0.1% Absolute Risk Reduction in the unvaccinated. Hardly earth shattering. It may be statistically significant, but it really isn’t clinically significant. The fact remains that 9960 people per 10,000 in each group remained cancer free, while an additional 10 remained cancer free in the unvaxxed group.
Vitamin C is finally being recognized as a cancer treatment. The cancer drug Apatone is just Vitamin C and K3, with the K3 being there to oxidize Vitamin C into DHAA (Dehydroascorbic Acid). Linus Pauling was one of the big promoters of Vitamin C for many things, including cancer. In Paulings book “How to Live Longer and Feel Better,” he dedicates a whole chapter to cancer, and beneficial studies with Vitamin C, and discusses the ways that follow up studies were flawed (most likely deliberately so). Highly recommeded.
I also just came across Catherine Ponder’s “The Dynamic Laws of Healing.” She discusses things like release and forgiveness, and the importance of attitude in any sort of healing. Just a few chapters in, but I would already feel confident recommending it. Her advice can be utilized in conjuction with ANY sort of treatment you decide on (be that radiation and chemo, alternative treatments, or even none at all).
To that point, its a good idea of looking at your day to day life and thoughts. We know cortisol can stimulate cancer, and it’s released in response to stress, among other things. It’s best to eliminate any stressful things, if at all possible. Don’t watch horror movies, the news, or anything “negative.” If you are going to watch something, make it something fun, like a good comedy. As per Ponders book, if you are holding things like negative thoughts or grudges against others, do your best to forgive and release them. Mindset is critically important, maybe more so than any other treatment.
A few thoughts….
First, how comparable is an MRI to a PET scan? From what I’ve read, all cancer screenings have issues. I think they all have to be surrogate tests, unless it’s a clearly visible tumor. So in those surrogate tests, can you really compare one test to another, with any sort of accuracy?
Second, if you are going to risk a clinical trial, make sure it is a later phase trial, like 2 or 3. Phase 1 trials are insanely risky, as they are trying to figure out what people can tolerate from a medication or treatment. Phase 1 trials always carry the most chance of injury or death, and least upside. Phase 2 and 3, less so, but remember…. it’s still a test. I think doing nothing would be a better option in 90-95% percent of cases. Seeing as that AVA6000 trial is a Phase 1, I would run as far away from that trial as humanly possible. Check out this quote from the “Purpose” section-
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug AVA6000 that can be given safely in people with advanced solid tumors that are not responding to treatment.
Since they are “finding” the highest dose that can be safely given, that means, by definition, some or all participants are GUARANTEED to get an UNSAFE DOSE. Because, how else do you find a limit?
Third, if you are going to pursue genetic markers or oncogenes, do you believe they play some role, any role, in cancer? After learning so much from Peat and Haidut, I believe that genes play little to no role in cancer, and that any treatments based upon them are a dead end. I think doing nothing may be a better option than this, but depending on how long the treatment has been around, it’s probably safer than some of the clinical trials being run. Then again, handling a rattlesnake may be safer than some of the phase 1 clinical trials out there.
Lastly, don’t know anything about Histotripsy, but if it’s using ultrasound, that sounds like the safest and most promising of any option. Peat mentioned a few times that ultrasound tests themselves not only were generally safe, but usually beneficial to health in general.
I think Ferritin is the best marker for total body iron stores. The lab range for men is 30 to 400 ng/mL, and I think it’s 25 to 300ng/mL for women.
The Zacharski trials showed a lower mortality rate for men with ferritin levels at 80ng/mL or below. So, a good target range would probably be about 25-80ng/mL. I tend to favor the lower end of that range. I’ve heard some people say that the lower end might be too low, and that a ferritin target of about 40-60ng/mL might be better, especially if you are highly active. Although I have tested as low as 18 ng/mL, and felt great, and showed no anemia symptoms. My hemoglobin number was above 13.5, and that seems to be the most important number in regards to anemia concerns.
So, 25 to 80 ng/mL is a good target.
I’d disagree with the AI, there is nothing in the lab results to suggest anemia of any kind, and certainly not iron deficiency.
First, all the iron markers are in range. They are on the low side, but based on what I read from the Weinberg book and other iron researchers, that is usually beneficial. Ferritin is about what I personally target (I’ve actually tested much lower than that, and felt great).
Hemoglobin is a bit out of the listed range, but I remember when I first started donating blood over ten years ago, the low end cutoff was 12.0, for both men and women. It was fairly recently that they upped the cutoff for males to 13.0. This range is even higher than that. The Red Cross would allow you to donate blood with the hemoglobin level of 13.4, so even though that’s below the listed range, it still isn’t close to anemia territory. That usually becomes a concern around 11.0, with 10.0 and under being fairly serious.
For an average American male, these iron numbers are a lot lower than you would expect. It’s much closer to teenage iron levels. If you have been doing a lot of blood tests, that could be a factor. Blood testing usually takes 25-50 ml of blood per test tube. When donating, 450 ml is taken. So, if you have been doing a lot of blood tests, those small amounts can add up. Also, a low iron diet can also lead to lower iron numbers. Milk and eggs are especially good at lowering body iron stores, as they not only are low in iron, but also contain lactoferrin and (in milk) calcium, which also lower iron levels. Aspirin can also lower iron levels.
So, for example, if you did a couple series of blood tests, eat little red meat, eat a lot of eggs and dairy, and take regular aspirin, all these things could have dramatically lowered iron levels. But still, to levels that are in range and near deficiency, which should be good at slowing or possibly reversing cancer growth.
The high B12 levels are weird. I would think that would either be from a supplement or lab error, don’t think that would have been just from eating eggs regularly. Maybe regular eggs plus weekly liver? I would also think this would have led to a higher hemoglobin level, although if you have been losing blood (through lots of blood testing or other procedures), that would make more sense. In my personal experience, a B complex or iron free multi with the good forms of B12 and folate really helps to up hemoglobin levels. As does Vitamin A. And supplemental testosterone can REALLY increase levels.
Here is another clip in the same vein. This one is talking about the corruption of scientific experiments and studies, as well as capture of regulatory agencies like the CDC. Also talks about the VAERS data, in regards to the COVID vaccines. However, this discussion is taking place between a sitting Senator (Ron Johnson) and the sitting Secretary of Health and Human Services (RFK Jr.), on the floor of Congress.
It also means this conversation will be immortalized in the Congressional Record.
From Ray Peat’s article on Caner: Disorder and Energy-
“The alkaline cancer cell surrounds itself by the acid that it emits, and this extracellular
acidity increases the ability of fatty acids to enter the cell (Spector, 1969); cancer cells,
although they are synthesizing fat, also avidly take it up from their environment
(Sueyoshi and Nagao, 1962b). This fat avidity is so extreme that cancer cells in vitro will
eat enough polyunsaturated fat to kill themselves. This has been offered as proof that
fish oil kills cancer. Saturated fats, however, have a calming effect on cancer cells,
inhibiting their aerobic glycolysis (Marchut, et al., 1986) while permitting them to resume
the respiratory production of energy.”I think coconut oil is particularly good for supporting energy metabolism. Not just due to the high saturation level, but also the shorter chain length. Eating coconut oil should also have a beneficial effect on the gut, since it’s antibacterial, which should, over time, lower endotoxin and serotonin production. Some fat is also good in the diet, to help with digestion and gallbladder function. 20-30 grams could be very useful for this. It doesn’t have to be every day (I did a very low fat diet for a couple months, where most days I was under 10 grams, but did go up to 20-30 at least once a week, for this purpose).
<span class=”atwho-inserted” contenteditable=”false” data-atwho-at-query=”@j”>@J.R.L</span> From everything I have read by Iron Researchers and Specialists, Ferritin, as measured by blood test, is the best marker for full body iron stores. I never heard of any of them using a hair or nail test, maybe they are too new for that. Ferritin is relatively stable when compared to other markers, Serum Iron reacts to food intake (similar to blood glucose), so it can spike from a meal, especially one higher in iron (like if you ate a steak). TSAT is a calculation based on Serum Iron and Iron Binding Capacity, so also has the potential to move dramatically, based on a meal.
Ferritin is also the primary marker used when a patient is getting deironed. It falls with blood donation (aka phlebotomy) pretty reliably. I saw this myself when I decided to get deironed. It’s a process that can take months, so it is a longer term trend. Although the rule of thumb is that Ferritin will lower about 30 ng/dl with each blood donation. It’s a very rough calculation, as very high ferritin levels can drop quicker in the beginning, and it doesn’t drop nearly as dramatically as you approach the lower end of the scale.
@Cari It’s not surprising that adverse effects could happen when someone takes 7x the dose of anything prescribed by their doctor. The amount does sound low for a prescription of Vitamin D, I’ve usually heard doctors start at 50,000 IU of D2 a week. Also, I’ve heard D2 can have issues at lower concentrations than D3 does, which is the form in most supplements.
I was not recommending anyone take the doses used in the Coimbra protocol, as those doses are used for very serious conditions. Still, some of the recoveries are dramatic, like the regimentation of those who have vitiligo. The point I was making was the Vitamin D has beneficial effects independent of sun exposure, and even in very high does that couldn’t be gotten from sun exposure alone.
Lastly, there is that book by Jeff Bowles, where he experimented with very high doses of D3 (anywhere from 25,000-100,000 IU a day), and claimed to see only benefits, when balancing it out with K2 (he used 1mg of K2 for every 10,000 IU of D3). So it would seem that some people can take fairly high doses and not have issues, at least in regards to the D3 form.
