Dec 2021. My wife, in recovery from Breast cancer (dreadfully handled by the RUH in Bath, UK) was diagnosed with terminal Bone cancer, 60 to 9 months to live.

By that time, both she and I had been full carnivore for 12 months.

Since that time, her scans have shown NO progress whatsoever in the lesions, number or how they present.

YouTube showed her she was by no means alone in this.

Syefried's book a huge help in moving this way. She had already done GAPs to fix her gut biome, and going carnivore has improved that as well hugely.

My opinion? Cancer is metabolic with gut issues, and genes can predispose.

Regardless, turning her back on more chemo and fixing herself worked.

Recently I have come across this book on cancer The Cancer Resolution?: Cancer reinterpreted through another lens: Lintern, Mark: 9798394715839: Amazon.com: Books, which takes one step back in accounting for cancer It explains what causes mitochondria failure and seems to account for the data even better than prof. Seyfried's theory does. What the author proposes almost contains the metabolic by prof T.S, yet going even deeper into the issue accounts for some data the original theory does not. It also accounts for the practice of integrative clinics that emphasize the need for restoring the gut health, detoxification, getting rid of fungi and viruses. A fascinating read, and very convincing, too. I am wondering what you might think of it Dr Justus. If you find it interesting, please bring it to the attention of Dr Marik.

So grateful to Dr. Paul Marik, Norfolk, Virginia for all of his work ............. He also developed in 2016 a protocol for hospitalized sepsis which includes IV vitamin c ......... quote from the link below "Dr. Paul Marik, a critical care doctor at EVMS, believes he has found the cure for sepsis, a common infection that gets into the blood and kills 1,000 people a day in the U.S. alone."

I read in 2020 that at that time his protocol for sepsis was used in about 10% of U.S. hospitals. https://www.faim.org/interview-with-dr-paul-marik-on-vitamin-c-protocol-for-sepsis excerpt from link "Moving from a 30-50 percent mortality utilizing standard treatment protocols for sepsis to achieving a sepsis-related mortality of less than 1% using IV vitamin C / hydrocortosone / thiamine therapy in this small treatment group is nothing short of miraculous. His protocol has since been lab-tested and proven to work. It is now used regularly at Eastern Virginia Medical School to treat sepsis."

There was push back on the new treatment for sepsis ........ the new treatment is approximately $40 ?? I read somewhere.

The 7th Dan Adventist Docs use an IV C called Berroca C for post-op kidney slowdown. Most docs I'd seen wind up re-cutting and bathing the kidneys,. The 'C' works the charm. I used to work in their hospital in Boulder Co. They had many a wonderful trick up their sleeves. I learned so much just by doing floor work on their Med. Surg. post-op unit. They have a lot to share. Very supportive in their care instead of major intervention.

Dr. Marik is in a class by himself. Knew his calling was medicine and effectively repurposed himself when the (every bad word i can think of) administrators at his previous hospital kicked him to the curb. (even as he was saving lives!?!). Now he is finding new and innovative ways to treat cancer. The man is a godsend, and one of the very best things to have come from the traumatic 2020’s.

Regarding vitamin d ................... 1. ************************************************

page 245-246 of Dr. Michael Holick's (a 40 year researcher on vitamin D) published in his 2010 book, "The Vitamin D Solution" ...................... "For some, even physicians, it's incomprehensible that vitamin D can reduce the risk of heart attack by as much as 50 percent; reduce the risk of common cancers of the colon, prostate, and breast by as much as 50 percent; reduce the risk of infections [typo in book? infectious?) diseases, including influenza, by as much as 90 percent; reduce the risk of type 1 diabetes by 78 percent in a child who gets 2000 IU of vitamin D a day in the first year of life; decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes; decrease the risk of dementia and depression; wipe out cases of fibromyalgia that have been misdiagnosed; and dramatically decrease the risk of multiple sclerosis and other auto-immune diseases. When in doubt, I always go back to this simple fact; every tissue and cell in the body has a vitamin D receptor." end of excerpt from page 245-246 of Dr. Michael Holick's book "The Vitamin D Solution".

Vitamin D acceptance delayed by Big Pharma following the Disinformation Playbook

Commentary by William B. Grant, Ph.D.

(OMNS Oct 1 2018) A "Disinformation Playbook" has been used for decades by corporations to delay government action on matters of public interest that would adversely affect their income and profit. Some well-known examples include the big tobacco companies, the coal and oil industries, the sugar industry, and the National Football League. The Union of Concerned Scientists has outlined five "pillars" of the Playbook [Disinformation Playbook], [Alvord 2017]. Big Pharma may be using the Playbook to slow the adoption of strong support for vitamin D. This article is the product of my further analysis.

The Disinformation Playbook

1. The Fake

Conduct counterfeit science and try to pass it off as legitimate research.

2. The Blitz

Harass scientists who speak out with results or views inconvenient for industry.

3. The Diversion

Manufacture uncertainty about science where little or none exists.

4. The Screen

Buy credibility through alliances with academia or professional societies.

5. The Fix

Manipulate government officials or processes to influence policy inappropriately.

Background and evidence that vitamin D improves health outcomes

Big Pharma and its allies in the U.S. and perhaps also in Europe are opposing major recommendations for increases in vitamin D intakes and higher serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels [above 30 or 40 ng/ml (75-100 nmol/l)], apparently because such measures can significantly reduce the burden of human disease and, therefore, would reduce income and profit from treating disease. Healthcare in the U.S. now consumes almost 20% of the gross domestic product.

Thank God for Dr. Marik and his research. He is truly a hero. In spite of his devastating treatment as a practicing physician, he is pushing ahead to help mankind. God bless him!

It's so exciting to see the spread of news that there is hope for cancer beyond the dictates of modern medicine as we have known it. Kudos to Dr. Marik and Dr. Seyfried for their invaluable work. They will bring hope to millions.

Could it be that we are obsessed with preventing cancer as if we expected to become the next cancer patient? Could it be that the fear of disease somehow ignites its appearance?

Fasting to reset the metabolism seems like a smart way to go. I believe this has been extremely helpful in the alternative treatment community.

Thank you for letting us know about the 2nd edition of Dr. Marik’s book. I will look forward to acquiring it when it comes out. Is there a tentative date? Please accept late condolences from a stranger on the loss of your friend. Your book particularly on Metformin was quite interesting to me. It is interesting how the longetivity movement (supplements/diet) and the cancer prophylaxis and restraint regimens seem to overlap. Keep up the good and stimulating work.

Nothing about anti-cancer properties for propranolol in the propaganda sites. One example: https://www.drugs.com/tips/propranolol-patient-tips
