Current Cancer Protocols

“While I was in Bali recently I received an e-mail from a lady who had stumbled across my blog, in particular the section on cancer. She reached out to see if I would be willing to get together with her to talk about my experiences with keto and cancer when I got back to Melbourne. We arranged to meet yesterday. I’ve had enough people contact me over the past couple of years to have made the effort I put into writing my blog well and truly worthwhile although I have now reached the point where I can no longer allow myself to become emotionally invested in the plight of others. It’s a big commitment, you can put hours of work and communication into attempting to help somebody only to feel frustrated by their inaction or apparent lack of willingness to travel the hard road of research and discipline that one needs to follow to take your own condition by the horns and wrestle with it, to take a look at alternative options even though the mainstream will do whatever it can to make you feel silly, frivolous, foolish, desperate and possibly even guilty.

We spoke for more than 2 hours, I listened, I spoke, I felt bucket loads of empathy for the path that lies ahead for her because unlike me she still has a long lonely journey to take to give her best shot at healing her body. The thing that impressed me more than anything else was that she had done the hard yards and had found the same people who became my mentors, teachers and guides during my relatively short but intense brush with cancer.

The details are irrelevant to what I want to say but on the other hand they have sparked a desire to rekindle my desire to help those with cancer who are willing to forge ahead toward survival.

Apart from the fear, confusion, loneliness, possible helplessness and huge challenge that lays ahead for anyone who has been told that they have cancer what really matters is healing and long term survival with a strong dose of optimism thrown in for good measure. Even if it is too late to heal and survive then one’s quality of life becomes a really close second.

We live in a world where the status quo holds a place of power. Where “experts” rule the roost and demand to be listened to even if means gaslighting their patients in order to wield their power and prestige.

When one’s car breaks down most of us can feel pretty confident that they will be able to find a mechanic who will not only be able to diagnose what is wrong but more importantly to fix it. Of course there will be a price attached but most of us are willing to pay this price instead of relegating our car to the rusty graveyard of dead and decaying vehicles. The stats are generally pretty good.

Unfortunately in the world of mainstream healthcare this isn’t generally the case based on the rise in numbers of cardiovascular illness, diabetes, dementia, cancer and general ill health and obesity. Overall it takes many years for new breakthroughs to find their way into the realms of the dogmatic viewpoints of the status quo and “experts”. Covid and the world’s response to it is a testament to this observation.

The number of people succumbing to cancer worldwide is growing as are the overall deaths. I have no doubt that some lucky individuals are surviving because of new mainstream breakthroughs or early detection methods but overall the stats are not heartening.

The way I see it the way forward is a collaboration between the mainstream standard of care and the new breakthroughs of the ketogenic diet, HBOT, IVs, hot and cold therapy, exercise, fasting and anything else that has had any positive results on improving the bodies ability to fight against the cancer and either slow it down or contribute to eradicating it. If improving the bodies immune system or overall health that can also enhance the mainstream standard of care like chemo, radiation and surgery. If having a stronger and healthier body can minimise the harmful side effects of the standard of care treatments then isn’t that something to be embraced. If learning about cancer and how it proliferates and metasticizes, learning how and why a strong and healthy immune system can keep the proliferation of cancer at bay or at least slow it down can put the sufferer in a stronger position where they can take more responsibility. Aren’t these all good and positive actions that can only help?

There is nothing to lose if the mainstream oncologists start attempting to understand the alternatives and to embrace them as part of the overall treatment. Wouldn’t that make it more of a team effort. And what if the health lobbyists pressured the government to subsidise some of these alternative treatments, wouldn’t that make it better overall and even potentially save a much greater percentage of lives.”
