New Year / Spring Equinox / Start of Spring, was yesterday (this w/e). The first religion to recognise this time of year as such was, as far as I know, the religion of ancient Persia i.e. the Zoroastrian religion, founded by the Prophet Zoroaster thousands of years ago. So, I hope that this New year brings more wisdom, love, friendship & peace to all of us.. and to everyone everywhere. 🌷✨🌅✨🌷

I never imagined I would be writing this. My mum passed away, and I don’t yet have the words to describe the emptiness she’s left behind. She wasn’t just my mother — she was my best friend, my anchor, my reason for fighting, and the heart behind everything we built here. This community was created for her. She carried more than most people ever see. She lived with bipolar disorder. She carried childhood trauma. She endured a painful divorce, the loss of both her parents, a cancer diagnosis, the death of Pepper — our family boxer — and the loss of Albert, our family’s closest friend. All of this happened within the last seven years. And yet — she kept going. She walked at least 10,000 steps a day. She swam three times a week. She went to church every Sunday. She worked tirelessly on the house. She quit smoking after her diagnosis. She tried carnivore. She cut out sugar. And most importantly: She kept our family together. She fought. She cared. She loved. Even when depression weighed heavily on her will to live, she chose to fight — not because it was easy, but because she loved us. She fought for us when her mind told her to give up. That is courage. We were hopeful. So hopeful. She had just started the Astron Health protocol — only one week in — and we believed we had time. Previous scans had been relatively reassuring, showing stable, very slow-growing, localised disease in the peritoneum and a coeliac lymph node, with no organ spread. Her CRP was 4 — within the normal range. Then everything changed — fast. She developed sudden, severe gastrointestinal pain, vomiting, and diarrhoea. We rushed to the hospital. A CT scan showed ischemic colitis. A mouth swab also confirmed COVID. She was put on palliative care, given fluids and heparin. Her circulation improved. Lactate came down. Symptoms improved. Objectively, things were getting better. But the narrative never changed. Despite improving vitals, improving markers, and improving symptoms, they continued to insist on bowel necrosis — even when the evidence did not clearly support it. At the same time, her CRP (an inflammation marker) rose rapidly from 4 (normal) just weeks earlier, to 14 on admission, to 150 the following day, and eventually to 455 at its peak. She developed rising oxygen requirements, hypoxia, and what appeared to be a clear systemic inflammatory storm — yet COVID pneumonitis was repeatedly dismissed.

Hey everyone, Bernardo is struggling to pay the bills to keep this site going. Only 10 of us are chipping in to help Bernardo out. There are 483 of us in the group so could everyone chip in say $1-2 per month so help Bernardo pay for this group? Maybe we have to shut down the other site? Those posts could be made into here?

Just wanted to share where things are at with my mum’s treatment. Her latest PET scan showed a new, brighter lesion near the stomach. The team is now waiting for her tumour markers to come back from the labs, and they’ve booked more scans to get a clearer picture. They will have an MDT (Multi-Disciplinary Team) meeting this Thursday to review her case and discuss whether she should continue with Immunotherapy (Keytruda) or if changes need to be made to the treatment plan. She’s also developed belly and leg edema over the past few weeks, which could suggest lymphatic obstruction from cancer progression — a pattern we’ve seen happen in other cases. For now, we’re holding steady and hoping for more information from this week’s tests and meetings. I’ll update again when we know more. If anyone has experience with this kind of progression after about a year of Keytruda — or has used any supportive strategies at this stage — I’d love to hear. Not quite the news we were hoping for — but the oncologist said that if this is progression, it’s very slow, which given my mum’s aggressive cancer type shows that the protocol has at least helped to slow things down so far. For now, I’m hoping she will continue with her current protocol (because she “doesn’t want to slow it down if remission isn’t possible”) and that she will be willing to add Turkey Tail mushrooms, as they’ve been shown to help improve the immune response and support PD-1/PD-L1 therapies like Keytruda. We also haven’t done enough Methylene Blue or light yet — something I’d like to optimise — and I’m now considering adding CDS (chlorine dioxide solution) to the protocol at this point too. Also, we might switch the pulse to mon-tue-wed and stopping the Curcumin, Quercetin and Resveratrol on press days to allow the pro-oxidant therapies to work with full effect.
