No one survives life. Seeing people close to me spend their precious few months choosing quantity over quality and consequently poisoning their precious time in the physical realm with chemo and grieving for life lost before it’s actually gone is truly heartbreaking.

Robb sounds like a class act, all the more precious seen through your loving eyes. Looking forward to reading more. 🙏

There is much evidence that cancer is a metabolic disease and not genetic (as doctors will tell you). My personal experience on diet and health has led me to believe that healthcare wants no part of actual cures because then revenue sources would be lost... instead they push a policy of disease management and a patient will never not be a patient.

In 2007 I was diagnosed with asthma and my doctor put me on a steroid inhaler and he told me I'd never be off it and my dosage would need to get progressively stronger and stronger as time passed and my asthma got worse. In a single month I'd gained 10 lbs from the steroid. At that point I decided to do my own research and went low carb. My asthma, which my doctor said would never go away and would get worse as time passed, was gone in a week. Along with my asthma I lost 40 unwanted lbs, my hand tremors disappeared, my lifelong hayfever was gone and I was able to throw away my eyeglasses.

I'm quite convinced that the standard American diet that's pushed by the "experts" (filled with cheap grains, sugar and vegetable oils) has led us as a nation to record levels of obesity and chronic disease, whether that was by design or incompetence is the only question that remains. Regardless, I no longer trust doctors or the healthcare machine to give me good advice (see COVID as another example).

In regards to cancer here's a book I highly recommend that goes over the case for cancer as a metabolic disease, It's quite fascinating. I'll also leave a link to a woman who adopted a ketogenic diet upon her glioblastoma diagnosis who is still doing well 10 years later. Just fuel for thought.

Our son-in-law's father has Glioblastoma. The part of your post about your husband's outlook on life and how he spent his last months was inspirational to me and I will be sending your post to my in-laws in hopes they will find this inspirational too. It is not easy to write about one's personal heartaches as you did but it is a great benefit to others who are going through the same. I have a friend who is very intelligent. and who can be blunt. At my father's funeral, he came up to me and said, "You need not feel so bad about your dad. No one gets out of life alive". You informed us of this fact of life (death?) through a much gentler method than my friend's.

As one in remission, I was inspired by Mukherjee "Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer". My younger sister got a good 12 years after breast cancer, then did the natural treatments (diet, etc) when bone cancer emerged. It was not successful. I could agree that neither of us could survive suggested chemo. I ended up quite debilitated and quit before completing the full recommended course of adjuvant, preventative treatment. My Uncle with a glioblastoma had surgery but refused more treatment. He preferred time with his family and wore his turban as he went about tending his horses somewhat like Robb attending to the landscape.

Frankly, I don't imagine science fully understands why some cells aren't managed by our incredible immune system. We hardly understand how it works as witnessed by all this vaccine nonsense. We don't even understand what is happening in our gut as the bacteria, good and bad, do their dance. I do know I've been injured by my chemo and know kidneys don't recover. I've been exposed to many extreme toxins in my career that could have affected me, principally extended low level nuclear radiation but others like me have not been materially affected, nor my children (now in their late 50's).

I remain thankful for every day granted to me.

A very interesting post. Riveting. I enjoyed your husbands HP commercial... he seems like a fun guy. After the last two years of the "Covid" experience, the fearless physicians who have spoken up and the captured agencies attempting to foist universal gene therapy on everyone in the name of vaccines... I have attempted to assemble my own resources for therapy, should I need it. I have been able to obtain hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and fluvoxamine, and mainly keep these in reserve, should they be needed. I do a daily regimen with quercetin, zinc, Vit. C, D3, and sometimes NAC... I, and my family have been lucky, and avoided this stuff. I also use a P100 respirator when going inside public places... a little off putting, but safer for us, I think... I am in my mid 70's, and squarely in the target zone for this, so precautions are necessary, IMHO, and have so far worked.

I have two MD's, one who is in his 40's with a large practice, but tows the "party line" and will not prescribe the above mentioned drugs, regardless of request. I keep him because he is good for most other things. The other admits to being at least 80, wont say his real age (it's a state secret) and does prescribe what's necessary, even though its not part of the "narrative".

I post the above as an introduction.

I am collecting cures that work, as the current medical establishment IMHO, has become somewhat unreliable, and the Federal government medical agencies appear to have become captured (see the work of Edward Dowd). To my knowledge, I have no symptoms of glioblastoma, do not have it, and expect not to get it. But in the unlikely event it should happen, it would be good to have the resources available to treat it. In today's climate, I understand why you would not want to release the name of the clinic that was helpful in this regard, and feed them to the wolves... however, it would be handy to have them in my collection of resources, should it be necessary. Any suggestions on a bread crumb trail to follow, as I can't find much on the web re Coley's toxins and current treatment.

Thanks, and best regards.

My unqualified take on health is sort of a blend of a few ideas:

-the pH miracle / sick & tired books by Dr. Robert O Young (alkalinity / pH balance).

-Dead doctors don’t lie by Dr Joel Wallach (90 essentials; vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids).

-The biology of belief by Dr Bruce Lipton (epigenetics and consciousness)

-environmental / filtration (air, water, radon, 5G, chemical pollution, etc)

-physical fitness (activity, exercise, movement)

-toxicity avoidance (pharma, drugs, alcohol, excess sugar, junk foods, chemical products, smoking, etc)

My passive belief is that we can prevent and reverse sickness and disease; but only if we are willing to stop doing the things that are causing it to manifest.

Your love of your husband and your profession are admirable! I am so sorry for your loss, but I can see that it drives your passion. Thank you for sharing. Your stories and work have impact. My eyes have been opened to the corruption of the Pharma and medical industry. What is now seen can never be unseen. I have heard others say that Pharma hides cures to keep us on the hamster wheel of medicine. I was skeptical, but now a believer. You give me hope for something better. Bless you for your work and courage in the face of opposition.

I ignore all descriptions of disease and in my ignorance is the belief a healthy life will spare me from its grip. The loyal lady still cries her lost love is to be highly respected.

I can only applaud your fearlessness and courage and ingenuity.

It's so hard to take charge of these situations. Most people are paralysed by terror and do whatever the 'experts' recommend.

Monica, my father died from a glioblastoma tumor in his brain, in 1982. He was 57 years old. From the time he was diagnosed, in the October of 1981 when had this first surgery to May of 1982 when he had his second surgery, he passed away within 9 months of his original diagnosis. My father was a cowboy and ran pasture cattle in the far SE corner of California, near the Mexican and Arizona borders. He was an excellent horseman, and prior to his diagnosis often participated in a rodeo sport, known as Team Roping, that the cowboys of the Imperial Valley regularly held all all over the Valley. He and my younger brother were a Team and regularly roped together.

Team Roping consists of a team of two people on horse back with ropes, roping a steer, that is released from a chute and runs to the end of the arena. In the ‘team’ you have the Header (ropes the head of the steer), and the Heeler, who lassoes the back leg of the steer as it is running, once the Header has lassoed the head. It is what is known as a “timed” event…the faster and quicker you do it, the better your standing in the event. It requires a superior level of hand eye coordination and team work, because once the front rider ropes the head of the steer, the back rider has to come in quick and loop the rope on the steers back leg. It is like a beautifully choreographed dance, when it comes off like it’s supposed to! My Dad was the ‘Header’, my brother was the ‘Heeler’ ion their ‘Team’.

After my Dad’s first surgery he was back to “roping” with my brother by January. He was a bit ‘rusty’ but he did great. And luckily I happened to be home visiting my parents and was at that team roping. One of my favorite photos of my Dad is him in action throwing the rope.

Sadly on the second surgery the neurosurgeon found that a part of the tumor they were not able to do get on the first surgery, was in the center of his brain inside the pituitary and optic nerve and it was inoperable. He passed away that July. All of his children have now outlived our Dad, for which we are all grateful. He left us way too young.

PS: To any of ‘animal rights’ people in this thread who think that the sport of rodeo is an ‘abusive’ treatment of those animals used in it, these animals; horses (Bronc Riding), bulls (Bull Riding), steers & calves (Team Roping and Team Penning) are raised specifically for this sport. And they are treated quite humanely and well cared for, because in case you didn’t know it, Rodeo is a Professional Sport. Professional Rodeo ‘Cowboys’ make good money, so the people who provide this professional rodeo livestock to these rodeos have to maintain their herds for these rodeos on the PRCA circuit.

I've gone down quite a few rabbit holes when it comes to alternative therapies. If I was ever terminal with cancer I would try the following and in this order - 1. Chlorine Dioxide with DMSO using the 3000 protocol by Andres Kalcker - See also "The Universal Antidote" on Rumble; 2. Fenbendazole - read Joe Tippen's storey; 3. Ivermectin - Search for "Ivermectin + Cancer" on the NIH. gov website, you'll be pleasantly surprised; 4. GcMAF - Very hard to get now, clamped down hard by Big-Pharma, search for David Noakes story, was jailed for helping people with cancer with success. 5. Burzynski Cancer Protocol - Watch his docu on Youtube while it's still available, it will make your blood boil. Chlorine Dioxide is my first go to, because it's disease agnostic, and I have had personal experience using it successfully on my dad's non-healing foot ulcer and my tooth abscess. Also based on my research it probably has the most testimonials that I've seen for Cancer and the largest online community of users that I know of that will happily vouch for it's efficacy. It also has the best safety profile, even safer then Ivermectin, the simplest molecular structure and the cheapest to obtain. Yes, sounds too good to be true, but this is one of those rare exceptions. It goes without saying that any research you do on these alternative therapies should not be done with google.

That was lovely: even though I was personally attacked at the start as one of the people who liked the Elon meme and not the cancer treatment.
