@Kimberly Smith indeed, I am thinking in terms of bmglucose numbers. I realize now that metformin can help with this prong of my issues - metformin could potentially /possibly (we don't know for sure?) help with the glucose numbers , even though it might not be effective for my tumor cells. How long as it doesn't antagonize my tumor cells...

@Joseph Lackland I see I shared that on August 5. Lots has changed since August 5. Lots 😉 I've totally eliminated all veggies. My staples now are eggs and sardines and mct oil and more sardines. I tried 2 avocados as a meal a few days ago and my glucose stayed stable in the 70's and my gki was excellent! It seems to me the sardines may be an issue at this time, though i'm unsure. I've stopped all nuts as well, cuz my gut sense was that nuts are triggering inflammation.

The more important question in my mind is this: "what, if any, difference do you notice when you fast?" "Is fasting personally useful to you?" "Do you feel good about fasting? Or do you feel not good about fasting?" In My view, fasting is a personal decision for each person to make based on their unique circumstances, capacities, motivation, etc etc. I personally feel so much benefit during the fast and post fast, that I actually look forward to my fasts LOL. My friend, on the other hand, says she feels awful when she fast and does not want to fast. There our books on water fasting, how to eat in the days leading up to a fast, etc etc you might glean some info there perhaps

If I can get a hold of a soft chamber HBOT , and have it in my home for a month or two, and the limit is 1.3 ATA. Would this help me at all? What are the instructions or guidelines he'd suggest for me?

@Vincent Gledhill thanks so so so much!

@Linda Osborn Medicaid options are so limited. The good doctors/surgeons are not to be had via Medicaid, only via commercial or private insurance.

@Zebs Circle not functional medicine or integrative. Only standard of care

what's the purpose of the psyllium husks? what does it do for us when we take it prior to DON? What might happen if we don't take it?
