Start Here 👋
This group exists so no one has to walk this path alone. Share as much or as little as you feel comfortable: - Your diagnosis or a loved one’s journey - What brought you here - Questions you’re exploring - Therapies or strategies you’re researching - Or even a photo — faces help turn stories into connection Every share matters. It helps others feel less isolated and strengthens the collective wisdom of the group. 📌 Post Categories — How to Share To keep the community organised and easy to navigate, please choose the category that best fits your posts: 📢 Announcements: Official updates from the Admin team. 👋 Introductions: Say hello and share as much (or as little) as you’re comfortable with about your journey. ❓Questions: Questions and thoughtful answers from the community. 💬 General Discussion: Open conversation on cancer, healing, mindset, and community-related topics. 💡Research & Protocols: Research, studies, resources, protocols, and learning materials. 📝 Journeys & Experiences: Personal stories, protocols being explored, progress updates and testimonials. ❤️ Community Lounge: Anything that doesn’t clearly fit another category. If you’re unsure, don’t worry — just choose your best guess. The goal is sharing, learning, and supporting each other, not perfection.

MRI results - near complete response
Hi fellow warriors! ✨ Just a quick update on my journey. I took an integrative approach to my last protocol, combining radiation with fasting, HBOT, repurposed drugs, RLT, and a GKI-friendly meals. I’m happy to share that I’ve achieved a “near complete” treatment response. This result surprised my oncology team, especially since I opted out of standard “Total Neoadjuvant Therapy” (avoiding Oxaliplatin). Because there’s still some scar tissue and inflammation, I’ll need a sigmoidoscopy to see how much of Shrimpy Boy is actually left (if any). My radiation oncologist and I are hoping it’s actually inflammation of surrounding tissues. 🤞 Now I’m moving into a “watch and wait” phase, supported by my oncologist’s knowledge that radiation’s impact can continue to work on tumour cells for months, especially when supported by metabolic therapy. I’m staying patient and vigilant, hoping that this is either a full response or one that will become “complete” very soon. Part of me just wants to fast the shit out anything left, but with knowledge that autophagy can also be weaponised by cancer cells, I’ve decided against this. Best of all I’ve avoided the “near certain” side effects of pelvic radiation—no burns, no bowel issues, and my fertility is intact. I know this might not last forever and I’d be delusionally optimistic to not expect late-onset side side effects. I’m not sure how much longer I’ll stay away from antioxidants due to the “antioxidant paradox”, which ultimately led to my decision to pause some of my supplements and not take Vitamins C, A, E, and CoQ10 during the seven weeks of radiation. Because they act as free-radical scavengers, reintroducing them can risk lowering ROS within the cancer cells, inadvertently shielding Shrimpy Boy from continuous DNA damage over time. I acknowledge that not everyone agrees with pausing antioxidants and that the data remains highly conflicting. Ultimately, this was a decision made strictly for my own peace of mind, rather than an assertion of personal expertise (and is NOT medical advice).

Farewell everyone! 🥰 👋
Hi warriors, I’ve decided to leave the group. Having comments I reflected on (and removed) reposted and publicly picked apart by Michael feels unkind and contrary to the supportive norms of this space. If there were concerns to address, a private conversation would have been the appropriate and constructive approach rather than opening it up for public critique. I had a rough week recently and reacted defensively to feedback about my protocol. After reflecting, I acknowledge that I failed to follow the norm of assuming positive intent. I am responsible for my own reactions (as suggested), which is why I removed my original comment. However, the extent to which my words have been picked apart in a follow-up post is a step too far. Writing an entire post with thesis-length justifications about my deleted comment feels unnecessarily targeted. We are all human beings who make mistakes, and I believe we should be allowed to reflect and remove content that no longer aligns with how we feel without it becoming public commentary. Emotional dysregulation has always been a weakness of mine. Cancer has probably made it worse (which is a shame because emotional regulation is so important for long-term recovery). I think some time offline will do me some good to work on this. I wish everyone the absolute best with their journeys moving forward. It’s been a pleasure to connect with you and share our learnings and challenges together. 🫶

anti-oxidants, diet, in the cancer context
Orally supplemented anti-oxidants, especially plant-based anti-oxidants, interfere with redox equilibria and aspects of homeostasis, with or without cancer. This is a fact. Hence, anti-oxidants, especially plant and bacterial anti-oxidants, are contra-indicated in the human diet. However, anti-oxidants are reported to be used by people fighting cancer, including those receiving ionizing radiation. (1) Extremely high dose Sodium ascorbate, generally via intra-venous delivery, is a powerful pro-oxidant and hence is applied against cancers, with many scholarly articles published. See for example Orthomolecular.org The human species for good reason lost the ability to synthesize vitamin C and I recommend not interfering with our genetics on this. Being a long term high fat carnivore demonstrates that the small quantities of a different form of vitamin C in meat is adequate. Many people have been taught by the ignorant or worse that beef muscle has no vitamin C. The truth is that beef muscle contains 0.5 to 2 mg dehydro-ascorbic acid per 100 grams, and is nearly 100% bioavailable and absorbed in the gut. Adding carbs by adding plants to the diet typically also adds L-ascorbic acid. Ascorbate completes with the same cell wall receptors as glucose synergistically reducing glucose transport including to cancer cells. Sodium ascorbate has been extensively used by those fighting cancer. (2) A whole diet is best for vitamin E. Supplementing vitamin E as tocopherol is associated with an increase in all cause mortality rate as reported in published human studies. If supplementing then consider a proper supplement with 4 different forms of vitamin E, D-alpha, D-beta, D-gamma, and D-delta, at the below link. (3) Anti-oxidant Astaxanthin blocks the CD38 receptor in humans. This blocks the conversion of the precursor of testosterone in to the active form of testosterone. Testosterone is the precursor to estrogen. I read that astaxanthin can be used to temporarily reduce testosterone to a low concentration similar to that of a chemically castrated male. I verified this on myself, and it proved out. Consider fighting cancers modulated by testosterone and estrogen with astazanthin.
