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.

Many conventional and metabolic cancer approaches rely—directly or indirectly—on oxidative stress (ROS: reactive oxygen species) to damage cancer cells. Chemotherapy, for example, is largely pro-oxidant and works by generating oxidative damage indiscriminately to both cancer cells and healthy cells. According to published work and commentary by Dr. Seyfried, chemotherapy may retain significant therapeutic effect at reduced doses when patients are in nutritional ketosis, potentially lowering collateral damage while maintaining efficacy. Beyond chemotherapy, many people explore targeted or context-dependent oxidative strategies, including: • Natural pro-oxidants (e.g. Artemisinin) • Repurposed / off-label agents (e.g. Fenbendazole, Doxycycline, Atorvastatin) • Oxygen-based therapies (e.g. HBOT, ozone, IV vitamin C) • Redox-active approaches (e.g. Methylene Blue + Light (Red / NIR) • Direct Systemic Oxidants (e.g. CDS, Hydrogen Peroxide) • Redox-Active Solvent / Carrier (e.g. DMSO) This poll aims to better understand how frequently these approaches are being used or considered, and to gather insight into real-world use and observed outcomes within the community. Which best describes you?

Many people following metabolic cancer therapy protocols combine diet, supplements, repurposed drugs, and oxygen-based therapies. If you could only choose one approach, which do you think has the greatest impact on outcomes? Your vote and comments help us see what’s resonating most in our community.

Gratitude might seem small… but it’s one of the most powerful tools we have — especially on the cancer journey. It doesn’t ignore the pain or fear. It helps us hold on to light even in the dark. Science backs it too: regularly practicing gratitude can lift mood, boost the immune system, reduce stress, and even support healing. Joy and gratitude are connected — and we all deserve more of both. So each week, we’ll have this thread as a gentle space to check in and share: 🙏 What’s one thing you’re grateful for this week? Big or small. Deep or simple. A moment of peace, a kind word, a good meal — it all counts. Drop yours in the comments below, and feel free to come back every week. Let’s build a habit of healing joy, together 💛
