CANCER HACKS

This is a new series that will explore things you can do to help with your cancer and side effects of treatment that your oncologist may not know.

From Medical Freedom, to exposure of the globalist agenda and methods, and now Cancer. Why the pivot? Where to start? From the beginning of symptoms in August 2024? From the day of diagnosis? From the day of discovery?

What to include? The various iterations of explanations for my symptoms? The emotional road?

The reader might have guessed that all this can be explained with a diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer, which I received on December 3. I was at the driving range, working on my swing, and had made a huge discovery about it that got me hitting straight shots. I was interrupted by a phone call from my GI doc, with the report that my recent CT angiogram showed a tumor in the pancreas with vascular compression of the superior mesenteric artery, a vessel one cannot do without. I said something like “good, well at least there’s something to remove,” not realizing that he had just told me it was unresectable. I went back to finish hitting the bucket of balls.

With a little reflection, and the visit to a surgeon, I experienced a head-spinning turnaround; from being the healthiest (and youngest looking ) 72 year old practicing physician to a person with an incurable disease. From being a guy with a months long painful condition that resulted in a 10 lb weight loss, and interrupted sleep caused by what I imagined was a surgically reversible condition to a man in pain from a relentless disease, and no path to a cure.

Yet 3 weeks later, I was comfortable, gaining weight, and hopeful. None of these positive effects could be attributed to our medical establishment. Hence, I write.

Let me flesh out my life a little, for your orientation. I have been living and working in San Francisco for the past two years. My wife and I moved here from the east coast, leaving our full time physician practices, to come out west to help hands-on raising our son’s new daughter (who now has a sister, too). We prevailed upon our own daughter to join our move to SF. This coming together again in service has been the best move of my life. We pop in and out of one another’s apartments, everyone makes sure everyone else has free time. I truly have had very little free time, compared to my empty nest life on the east coast. But the daily gift of being with these grandchildren, and renewing my relationship with my son and daughter more than compensate for any loss of free time. A crazy golf nut before, I was now playing only occasionally, and not missing it. I lived a charmed existence.

Sources of Hope

Once I had my diagnosis, I was anxious to start doing something about it, having given this disease way too much head start. I read Dr Paul Marik’s (of FLCCC fame) book Cancer Care, and started doing some things to kill the crab. Going Keto is supposed to help, since cancer cells depend on burning sugar to grow. But for me, the switch worsened my already weakened state, as fatty meals were worsening the pain, so I was just getting weak. OK, forget that. Try metformin? Diarrhea. Some antifungal mebendazole? Yes, that felt right, and was tolerated, at least. But I knew that it would not be enough. And that I was not looking forward to being killed slowly by this painful tumor while getting sick from chemotherapy that was unlikely to be effective for more than a few months’ gain.

Google alternative treatments- I quickly found Atavistic Chemotherapy, a treatment devised by Dr Frank Arguello, on the theory that malignant tumors are composed of cells that have reverted to a more primitive organization more common to single celled creatures like protozoans and fungi, and that these organisms could be susceptible to attack by already approved drugs that are used to treat infections from such organisms. At atavisticchemotherapy.com, multiple clinical cases are portrayed, with pictures of the untreatable cancers, followed through treatment to resolution and scarring. I spoke with an actual patient of his that is living and well without her previous stage 4 melanoma 14 years later. And treatment was oral, with minor side effects! This is Hope.

Also, about a weeks after diagnosis, at the recommendation of family from all over, I visited a cannabis dispensary in the neighborhood. The nice person behind the counter did not have an advanced degree in anything, but she was able to immediately come up with a product that turned out to be the most useful medical intervention I have ever had. Within minutes of my first dose, I felt better. The pain was mostly gone, I was able to stop losing weight, and in 3 weeks I came 2/3 of the way back to my normal weight. Prior to this, when I called one of my doctors, asking for pain relief, I got a short Rx for Vicodin, to take when needed for the pain. Afraid that it would disrupt normal sleep even as it dulled pain, I never took it.

So. I learned of my Diagnosis on December 3. 2 weeks later, before any treatment offered by traditional medicine, and weighed down with their dismal prognosis, I was more hopeful and felt much better than I did on that day.

ONE MONTH LATER- Jan 23, 2025

So much had changed.

I started Atavistic Chemotherapy toward the end of December. The “treatment without side effects” was, surprisingly, intolerable. At one point I felt as if I had lost my mind. I could not hold a conversation, for inability to recall the thread, or to form any but the simplest thoughts into sentences. In consultation with Dr ARGUELLO, who was very responsive to calls and texts, we thought it might be the cannabinoids. I stopped those reluctantly, and got even worse, possibly a withdrawal effect. Meantime, we were ramping up on the treatment drugs, I was getting dry mouth, dry nose, and still felt awful. I could not see living like this for 6 months of treatment. Looking for reassurance from the doctor, I instead got lots of attitude. He was unwilling to answer any of my questions about which drugs I was taking, or about details of treatment in his study population. He was still trying to monetize this treatment and needed it to be secret until his book was published. He texted “you are annoying me with your questions.” I knew then that I could not maintain this relationship through whatever difficulties might still lay ahead, such as unanticipated bleeding or necrosis of my tumor. Lying in my bed with my family around me, I agreed to stop this experiment, and to pursue traditional medical treatment. This was a psychological blow, an admission that I was going to die of this tumor, and, I thought, sure to suffer in the process.

But at least I started feeling better right away after stopping the Atavistic treatment, able to participate in family activities, while waiting for the appointments from the new oncologist, Dr Ko.

Now where I am, end of February:

Recovering from 3^rd round of FOLFIRINOX. Plenty of challenges with this tumor and this therapy. I will not bore you with the details.

But I’ve made some discoveries, outside the traditional system, that have been helpful to me. So I’ve decided to begin to publish CANCER HACKS. Little things I have discovered, that might help others in similar situations live better lives with Cancer. I am not selling anything.

Hack number one is mentioned above: The absolutely miraculous relief of the pain by a product called “Protab+ Recover.” Learn more at (levelexperience.com) Purchased at a medical cannabis dispensary here in SF, each pill contains

THCa 10.7mg

Delta9 THC 0.8mg

CBD 0.7 mg

CBDa 10.9mg

CBG 4.5mg

CBC 2.5mg

½ pill, taken before meals and before bed restored my appetite and removed all but the slightest pain. Minimal euphoria, though that could just be from the feeling of relief.

Hack Number 2 is implied above:

Do not sign up for mystery medicine. I’m embarrassed to have to admit that I did not already know this, but Cancer can turn one’s head. Even a Doctor.

If you’re going to try a treatment recommended by someone outside of the traditional medical system, you still need a doctor patient relationship inside the system, to see you through any side effects, and to assess your progress. You’re going to need to know exactly what you are taking, so that if you have a problem, your doctor can at least try to help.

I’ll be writing weekly with more hacks, so stay tuned!
