Hello - a bit about us

My husband was diagnosed in February this year with Prostate cancer metastasized to his bones and lymph - Gleason Score 9.  The NHS said there's nothing they can do to cure, just treatments to prolong life.  Initially he was put straight onto Prostrap hormone injections and offered Enzalutamide and Radiotherapy,  However he didn't like the side-effects so in May, he ceased the Prostrap hormone injections and turned down the Enzalutamide and Radiotherapy choosing to try holistic therapies instead.  So far, although it hasn't been long, he's thriving.  He's due to see an oncologist on 1 October this year so we'll see what his PSA blood test reveals.  He's doing loads and loads of protocols and currently we're both feeling very positive and determined in this course of action.  But time will tell.

  • Sorry to hear Amanda

    I must say  I like the idea of going down the holistic route doing away with all those meds, hope that it works out.

    I would just like to add what I have done since treatment finished in 2017 as we all know cancer can return.

    I stopped eating added sugar, no biscuits, cakes, sweets etc.

    Cut down on red meat, dairy, alcohol, ultra processed foods etc.

    Just thought would mention in case it helps

    All the best

  • Hi Steve, thank you for your reply.  Yes we have cut out all sugar, processed and ultra-processed food and only eat organic wholefoods.  We do eat a little red meat but only bought from an organic farmer, whose cattle are grass-fed.  I make a few vegan treats like date and walnut oatcakes but again, no sugar and only organic wholefood ingredients.  My husband does eat a little dairy but again, carefully selected.  As to alcohol, we've both cut that out almost completely.  A treat once a month or so for him is now a pint of stout in a real ale CAMRA pub!  Or maybe a glass of organic red wine.  He is exercising like he never did before and keeps physically active all the time.  Our inspiration was a friend who got stage 4 breast cancer metastasized to her bone and lymph 5 years ago.  She was given 18 months and is still thriving following a purely holistic route.  We started off reading Chris Wark and The Gherson Therapy and have read lots of books since.  There's a lot of information out there for those who don't fancy the aggressive NHS treatments and their associated side-effects.  Thank you for taking the time to respond positively, much appreciated.  Best wishes Amanda (and Ron).

  • Ron's current "regime" is:

    All wholefoods and organic wherever possible.

    First thing in the morning:

    Modified Citrus Pectin, Zinc.

    Next juicing – 2kg carrots, 500g beetroot, bunch celery, large chunk ginger, large chunk turmeric, ½ garlic, green apple, lemon, spinach, broccoli – supplements added:  Moringa, Spirulina, Turkey Tail, Lions Mane, Soursop, Chlorella, Turmeric - this makes around 2 litres of juice, which my husband drinks throughout the day at regular intervals.

    Exercise – jogging and walking for about an hour.

    Breakfast: overnight soaked oats with rye flakes and apple cider vinegar, banana, summer fruits, overnight soaked pumpkin seeds and almonds, dates, dried apricots, dried figs, dried prunes, walnuts, sunflower seeds and superseed mix, Vitamin D3+K2 drops.

    With breakfast – supplements – Reishi, Turmeric, Lions Mane, Vitamin D3+K2, Ivermectin, Fenbendazole.

    Active throughout the day.

    In between drinking juice, green tea.

    Snacks during the day on fresh fruit and nuts.

    I make my own sourdough bread which my husband might have a slice of for lunch with organic baked beans or mushrooms, garlic and tomatoes, something like that.

    Main meal: usually raw chopped up vegetables with cheese or eggs or grass-fed beef or fish.

    Last thing:  herbal tea, Melatonin, Magnesium, Pure Cannabis Oil vape.

    Twice a week, my husband does an hour-long session of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

    We’re still learning and adding things to this list all the time.  Currently awaiting an order of Berberine supplement, which will get included.

  • Welcome and good luck. I’m glad it’s all working out for you and you mental health is obviously benefiting so much with your joint positivity about the choices on treatment. I am sure you’re doing the right thing. It your life after all.

    I have a best mate that is strict keto or is he now carnivore (he lives alone in a beautiful house boat) and has rid himself of diabetes totally and self tests annually all his bloods. He eats meat, fat and little else. His no carb diet is strictly for his own health.

    I would argue that his cholesterol is a concern but the results speak for themselves.

    As for his advice about ridding my cancer with no-carb, which I haven’t taken, I find it hard to accept it would be good for me. Yes, I’m veggie, that in itself it not terminal but it is a choice that I’m happy with. The “facts” which Dr USA has convinced him of the error of my ways are interesting to a point. I also believe that there are drug companies that prefer endless treatment rather than cures, but we all have to make a living.

    I take my hat off to you both and hope that all your efforts are seen to be body-positive in all the tests you have which I hope you will post here later.

    I don’t know how old you are (I’m now 61) but I wish you a long and healthy pathway. 

  • Thank you for your lovely positive comment.  My husband is 67.  We both admire that your friend has eliminated his diabetes with keto/carnivore.  Diet accounts for so much.  Yes I will post results as we get them - next PSA results will be 1 October and what that reveals will be crucial in how we go forward from there.

  • The PSA will be the new data that’s essential for your plans. I hope it’s in your favour.

    We will be here eager to help you both whatever the results. Take care.
