We just found out that my wife’s uncle has a 2 cm malignant tumor on one of his lungs. He was a long-term smoker but has given it up for the past 10 years. Can anyone recommend some good therapies for him? Thanks.

Just shows that you can’t escape the damage that smoking does…

Dr Blagosklony’s blog has some important insights regarding the lung cancer that he is suffering. One of the most important is that even successful monotherapies often fail to cause long term remission. Simultaneous treatment with multiple drugs is more likely to nail the resistant cancer cells per Dr. B. The problem we have is that these drugs are often very expensive and insurance will only pay for one at a time. One approach might be to have all the pathology and initial monotherapy done in your home county, and then go overseas to get treated with other drugs that your oncologist recommends but is not allowed to use.

Research The Budwig Diet. Not a cure by any stretch IMO but perhaps may work synergically with other anti-cancer treatments. Just a thought.

Budwig Protocol for Cancer + My 10 Year Experience (anticancermom.com)

one of the reviews:

Five years ago I was diagnosed with Stage 3B colon cancer. The doctor told me I had to do Chemo for the next 5 years if I wanted to live. I never returned to any doctor. I started the Budwig diet and took it faithfully for 2 years. Why only 2 years? I became homeless. Well it’s been 5 years now and I’m still alive. I’ve learned that many treatments cure cancer–EXCEPT chemo! If you have cancer stay far away from establishment medicine. Avoid surgery and radiation as well.

Clearly, I’m NOT advocating to forego medical treatments (as above suggests) but merely to combine it with other therapies but after the person himself/patient has done a lot of research and concludes it would be something that he is willing to try.

Interesting. I read the article and it seems that the main anti-cancer constituent of the diet is flax seed and/or flax seed oil.

I see no reason it couldn’t be an add-on with conventional cancer treatment.
There are many papers describing the anti-cancer properties of flaxseed oil.

Another possible anti-cancer supplement is high-dose melatonin.
There are also many papers discussing the use of melatonin in cancer treatment.

Believe it or not, I did this protocol about 7 years ago for a month or so (not for cancer reasons) and I recall feeling a sense of wellbeing and almost free of any aches, all positives. I researched it further at that time and it appears that another positive side effect of it might be the fact it promotes the proper communication (or something like that) between the cells in the body. I intend to do it for a month or so in next few months just because I remember feeling very good when I did the first time.

https://www.amazon.com/Cancer-Improving-Science-Based-Naturally-Preventing/dp/1709219939/ref=sr_1_3?crid=19Q09R4IRWELL&keywords=herron+john&qid=1699557119&sprefix=herron+john%2Caps%2C167&sr=8-3

This book lists 500 pages of complementary treatments that can be used with conventional medicine to increase one’s odds of surviving a cancer diagnosis. He doesn’t promote any one thing - he’s just compiled the research for you.

The longest chapter by far is chapter 6 - Cancer-Fighting Natural Supplements. For each supplement, he summarizes which cancers it has evidence for, how strong the evidence is, and the cost. For example, for astaxanthin (p229) he says:

Cancers: oral, bladder, colon, leukemia, hepatocellular, lung, breast
Body of Evidence: Moderate
Cost: Low

And then he goes on to cite a few excerpts from a few of the studies that seem relevant. Full links to all studies quoted are in his citations. For some supplements, he includes strategies and specific recommendations based on the literature.

For someone on this forum, it will be a very familiar format and content. He doesn’t have all the answers, but my read is that he has worked hard to simplify one’s search for assistance. YMMV.

Best of luck to Uncle.

I am in a similar situation. A family member who was cancer free for 5 years and started taking Rapamycin 8 months ago, just had their cancer markers begin to increase again. I don’t know if I can say it was because of the Rapamycin or not given that we were very careful to make sure we were just inhibiting MTORC1.

We’ve been through this many times already where the cancer was is in remission for a few years and then pops back up again, we then do some protocols, and it takes a rest for a few more years. So hopefully it is the same this time around.

I wrote a post about a month ago about some treatment options that helped create the several remissions my family member had, in case you were interested:

If anyone has some insight on Rapamycin for cancer patients in remission or current cancer patients please feel free to share the info with me.
