Neither my wife nor I have ever worried about salt. We do use good quality salt, but don’t hesitate at all to use it liberally. My last blood pressure reading was something like 170/71. My parents were both extremely paranoid about salt in their later years. I didn’t try to convince them it was baseless, I just shook my head and kept my…

Numerous MDs have badgered me about cholesterol over the years, and I ignored them all until I developed lung cancer. I used to chide them for continually “moving the goalposts” on just what cholesterol number was dangerously high. Jane McLellan (sp.?) was adamant that simvastatin (or another in the lipophilic category) was essential as part…

We definitely go as high a % of cocoa as our taste permits; usually around 90%. I cut it out entirely when I was diagnosed with cancer. Now it’s metformin instead!

At least until someone debunks it here, we’ve used and trusted Carlson fish oil for years. As expensive as it is, it had better be good!

I’m especially disappointed to read that Garden of Life is owned by Nestle. Their raw Vit. C has been in our cabinet for years.

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…

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.

My wife is trying to sort out what is causing some difficulties with her sleep. We both have been maintaining good “hygiene” regarding the time prior to bed. I noticed in passing a while ago that having been vaccinated for Covid can cause this. She has tried a combination of supplements that are supposed to aid sleep, with questionable…

We have a situation where Congress refuses to act on several issues, medical freedom among them. Given how compromised by the pharmaceutical industry they are, I shudder at what a mess they’d make of it. In the absence of a responsible Federal government, the states are our only recourse. Florida has done some interesting and encouraging…

Like so many of Senator Paul’s proposed bills, I fear this one will die in darkness, too. I doubt he’ll even get a majority of his own party to support it. It makes too much sense.

I’d be very surprised if there is more than limited accountability. Maybe a few small fish get fried to attempt to placate the public. Until we’re able to get rid of judges who block lawsuits for damages I’m not betting on it. Too many Republicrats are beholden to the pharmaceutical industry to expect any legislative changes like making…

That’s a shame. It’s exactly what happened with that MA doctor I mentioned. His bosses pulled the same move. I have an OK regular doctor here in KY, but I’ve heard his wife is after him to retire. I don’t know what I’ll do then. There are mostly females left in that practice. Yes the integrative services don’t come cheap, especially with…

Thank you! From your keyboard to God’s eye (Your mouth to God’s ear doesn’t quite fit here.)

This is completely anecdotal, but here goes. I started taking ivermectin during COVID after I had the milder Omicron variant. I got over it quickly, but was soon diagnosed with COPD. I continued taking ivermectin in the hope of preventing respiratory infections. Then a CT scan revealed a tumor in my lung. I stepped up the ivermectin…

About 8 years ago, while living in MA, my Primary Care MD was retiring. I was sorry to see him go. He was a no nonsense guy, but he at east recognized a valid question or point from his patients. He was outspoken about his frustrations with his profession, in particular how he had to rush through with all his patients. There was…

I miss pay phones, too. It was reassuring knowing they were there. We actually saw one at a KY comfort stop on Route 64 on our way across the state the other day. I kind of like being able to text, but peripheral neuropathy makes using any touch screen a problem for me. Other than an occasional call or text, mine stays off in the bottom of my backpack.

You said it! Here’s an even bigger outrage: I use a medication called Trelegy Ellipta for my COPD. It retails in the US for about $5900/year. In 2025 Anthem/Medicare charged me about $400 for a 90-day supply. They upped it to $675/90 days in 2026. My wife found a Canadian Pharmacy on-line that could get it from India for $175/90 days. I…

He’s not wrong; I just wish they could have found a more credible and dignified spokesperson.

And this surprises you why? They don’t call it the NY Slimes for nothing.

Get DOWN with your bad self! You made my day.

What a nice, concise package of information. Thanks for offering this! It’s a nice compliment to David Brownstein and Robert Yoho’s writings on men’s health.

Stay on your soapbox and shout it out! I’ve been beating the drum about the degradation of relationships, manners, & culture for years. It’s refreshing to see your remarks and read about positive steps you’ve taken. (In this new age of memes, my fantasy meme is a crushed smart phone with tire tracks on it!)

You see? This is one reason I hate phones; they’re lousy for email. I use my cable provider’s email server and Outlook for PC, never my phone. I do have a Gmail address but it’s seldom used, and no great loss if they get too obnoxious!

I’ve ordered from 2 different sources over the past year and a half. I’d be happy to provide you with that information off-line, if there is some way to message privately. The pricing seems pretty consistent across all suppliers, and provides a good guideline of what to expect.

I have also been buying several meds from India over the last year. Would you mind telling us what your per pill cost for ivermectin and mebendazole are with this seller? (I’ve been obtaining them for around .08-.10 per pill, plus about $30 S & H.) I’ve stayed away from India Mart, mainly because any inquiry results in my inbox being…

I wasn’t aware you could still buy a “dumb” phone. I had one originally, but it went the way of the dodo when 3G was no longer in use. Our Pure Talk provider offered a low end Nokia, which was the cheapest, dumbest phone they offered. It is technically a smart phone, I guess, but it’s not very capable of much other than sending/receiving…

It has been mostly rain/sleet here in Eastern KY. Thus far there hasn’t been enough actual snow to shovel or run the snow thrower. My wife and I prepared so that we can just stay in until it blows over. We have plenty of food, literature, and video to ride this out. I suspect driving could be dangerous. So far no outages from ice or…

To answer you question: you betcha! Victory often is the accumulation of small wins. Celebrating them (within reason) can help you keep going; keeping a positive mindset to finish the job.

Thank you! I just started seeing an integrative practitioner in a neighboring state for my first IV of vitamin C, and testing for nagalese (a cancer marker in the blood) and G6PD. The latter is a rare condition that, if positive, would preclude going to high-dose C/DMSO. The only concern regarding the diet right now is too much weight…

The additives are certainly concerning, but my understanding is that modern strains of wheat can be inherently harmful. I’m not qualified to judge that evidence, but I do know that the more highly processed the flour is, the higher the glycemic load. That goes directly to glucose and A1C, and cancer just LOVES it. I’ve also read that…

Likewise, a ketogenic diet has virtually eliminated any desire for junk snacks. As for this list herein, I’d say anything made with modern wheat. When I allow myself the occasional slice of bread it’s from sprouted grain rather than processed flour.

Thanks for this! I’m 71, and suffered much of my receding hairline in my 30’s. I don’t fret about it too much, and always figured there wasn’t much I could do that wasn’t going to cost an arm and a leg. My wife suffers from it, too, and it bothers her a lot! I’ll be sure to share this with her.

Nature is filled with beautiful ironies. Many years ago my mother discovered a natural cure for poison ivy, often growing along side of it. I still use it today. It’s called Jewel Weed, or Touch-Me-Not, and it is the most effective antipruritic I’ve found. I was a city kid sent away to camp one summer, completely ignorant of poison ivy and…

Here are 3 things you might try; Medicare covers 2, and the other isn’t prohibitively expensive. Metformin and a lipophilic statin (I’m taking simvastatin) work synergistically against cancer, according to Jane McClellan’s book. Low-dose (4.5 mg) naltrexone is also supposed to be good. You need a compounding pharmacy for that one; I…

Strap them down and force them to read Jane McClellan’s How To Starve Cancer!

I’d recommend A Midwestern Doctor’s The Forgotten Side of Medicine Substack. He’s done an 8 part series on DMSO that is invaluable. Also, Robert Yoho’s Substack Surviving Healthcare includes a compendium of AMD’s DMSO articles, if you prefer all the information in one downloadable file. Both doctors monitor the comments sections and often…

I don’t KNOW this in a scientific sense, but I believe it based on research I did prior to starting my own cancer protocol: they act in a similar way, and have similar issues with absorption. I found that mebendazole was easier and less expensive to obtain. What clinched it for me was fenbendazole is mostly a veterinary medicine, and I…

Good on you for recommending Travis Christofferson’s books! Tripping Over The Truth was instrumental in me discovering I need not be at the mercy of traditional oncology, and that there were other ways of thinking about cancer. Another really good one is Ketones: The Fourth Fuel. (I’m working on Curable now.) They manage to be…

I guess I’m the first to comment, which explains why I did not see a link to the guide. I had my testosterone tested earlier this year, mainly out of curiosity rather than any particular symptoms. It was at the high end of “normal.” As I started thinking about it, I wondered if this tells me much of anything. Wouldn’t one have to have…

Thanks for the reference. I’m taking virtually everything listed in that chart. One thing I’m doing differently is taking mebendazole instead of fenbendazole. When I began putting my protocol together fenbendazole was much more difficult to obtain for human use (vs. animal use). Neither Medicare not private insurance covers this,…

To update my previous post: I received my order of ivermectin, mebendazole, and doxycycline today. It took 3 weeks from the time I transferred funds for the order. So, the service still is fairly good. Two caveats: 1) Try to find a supplier who accepts PayPal. 2) No matter what payment service you use, you must not indicate that it…

I typically dose 2 drops of 99.9% pure DMSO in about 5ml of saline. (I make the saline myself using 8oz. distilled water with a packet of NetiPot salt by NeilMed. The latter is very finely ground and dissolves nicely. Keep the saline in a closed glass container in the frig.) I’ve only been doing this for about 2 months. I have a CT…

I also recommend AMD’s Substack. It’s encyclopedic, and he responds to comments and in chat. I’m nebulizing DMSO using the same formula. I have emphysema and a nodule in one of my lungs. I’d love to do it with glutathione for the emphysema, but it is contraindicated in cancer if I understand correctly. It is also very potent in…

My anxiety & depression started with alcohol abuse, which of course made it much worse. I wrecked the family car, nearly killing myself in the process. My wife and I separated. I was about as low as you could get. My county’s Alcohol & Drug Council offered outpatient programs to help get sober, but those spots in the program took time (as…

I should add that to “take charge”, as you put it, is very intimidating. This is particularly true regarding cancer care. I’m having to “ghost” both my regular MD and my pulmonologist about what I’m doing. I’m getting pressure from both to submit to more traditional methods, and I can say it is stressful. There are plenty out there who…

My A1C was 5.7, just above high normal, for several years back when I lived in MA. My MD at the time said contemptuously: “You don’t have pre-diabetes!” FF to the present, and my KY MD said I was pre-diabetic. I started taking metformin, alternating with berberine, when it became likely that I had cancer. (I’m also doing a long list of…

I would never generalize about this without facts to back it up. I’m uncomfortable when any substance gains a “miracle drug” reputation. My individual experience is that ivermectin hasn’t had a positive impact on my Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. I started taking it about 2 years ago as a preventative for COVID, and upped my consumption of…

The one thing making a difference for me is a ketogenic diet. I should also point out that I was recently diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, which I believe was mostly responsible for weight gain over the past 2 years or so. Synthroid seems to have stabilized TSH, T4, & T3, but the weight didn’t start to come off consistently until…

I just had an interesting experience ordering meds from India, which may also have to do with tariffs and trade negotiations. The source I had been using hiked both their prices and shipping charges, almost doubling costs. More important to me was they no longer accepted PayPal for payment. I did eventually find a new supplier at better…
