During my wife's final weeks on Earth we had to call 911 and ride the ambulance to the emergency department several times. In one case she was experiencing a pain crisis but the emergency department was so understaffed it took over three hours of agony from the initial call before anyone gave her an IV with painkillers. Also she couldn't really sleep properly in the hospital room for a variety of reasons. Her cancer was so far progressed in her lungs, bones, and brain that there wasn't anything they could do except try to ease her suffering. But how could they do that in this stressful environment? Then we transitioned to home hospice for what turned out to be her final week. This was so much better. They sent powerful pain meds that I could administer as needed. There were nurse visits and a nurse on call round the clock. At home my younger daughter cooked what turned out to be her last meal and my older daughter held her hand when she slept in her own bed. We were advised that she didn't have much longer to live, and how to know it was the end. Then she died without pain surrounded by the people who love her.

Are you currently using artemisinin (or have you used it before)? Please vote and, if you can, share details in the comments: 💬 If you’re open to sharing, it would be really helpful to know: - What form (artemisinin / artesunate / DHA) - Dosing strategy - What you’re combining it with - Any noticeable effects (positive or negative)

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.

Can anyone suggest a good place to buy Mebendazole from? I was buying mine through Tuli Enterprises in India. The issue is that this new order is different from my first one. Those tablets were soft and almost melted in my mouth, but the new ones I just received are much harder and more solid.

To every one of you walking this path — whether you’re fighting, supporting someone you love, researching late at night, or simply trying to hold things together — I want you to know how deeply respected you are. This journey is not easy. It takes courage, resilience, curiosity, and heart. And yet, despite everything, this community continues to show up with generosity, wisdom, and care for one another. That matters more than words can express. Christmas can bring joy, but it can also bring reflection, uncertainty, and mixed emotions — and all of that is okay. Wherever you find yourself today, please know you’re not alone. Wishing you peace, moments of warmth, and renewed hope as we move toward a new year together 💚
