Have you ever heard of “drug cycling” in cancer care?

    Cancer treatment is evolving.

    Thanks to the work of researchers like Dr. Paul Marik, a growing body of evidence shows that repurposed drugs and metabolic strategies can punch far above their weight class, often outperforming the outcomes patients see from chemotherapy and radiation alone.

    Patients and providers around the world are reporting real results.

    But with that progress comes a new challenge.

    A physician recently reached out to Dr. Marik with a troubling pattern: his patients would respond well to metabolic therapy for the first two years, and then their tumors would spiral out of control. Nothing he tried could get them to respond again.

    That question sent Dr. Marik down a research path that led to a surprising discovery—simple, powerful concepts that had never been highlighted in the published literature.

    Those findings led to the creation of two brand-new Cancer Care companion guides, both of which are explored in this conversation.

    Thanks to IMA’s articles on metabolic resistance and drug cycling I have a better understanding of what my cancer protocol has been missing. I had almost all the pieces, and now I have a better understanding of how they fit together. Tomorrow begins a new (and hopefully more successful) phase of treatment.

        I am also adding a post from Dr. Berg into the discussion, about food recycling when you have cancer … very interesting too.

          I look forward to reading it. I began my protocol a year ago with a strict ketogenic diet. I was about 25 lbs. overweight. I lost 35 lbs., and now weigh what I weighed in high school 50+ years ago. I’ve had to put the brakes on the weight loss. I’ve added in more healthy complex carbs while taking BHB and MCT oil to still keep the ketones up. It seems to be working as far as maintaining my current weight; I just hope it continues to support my cancer protocol. I’ve also added several new elements to it (IV high dose Vit. C/DMSO, supplements, and the drug cycling referred to above). I get another scan in early June, so we’ll see if I’ve made more progress. I’ve held off metastasis for a year, and my last scan in April showed some reduction in tumor size. (Not enough to get my regular MDs off my back, but progress nonetheless.)
