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.

Just had my scan result and I’ve managed to shrink my largest met by 5mm from 65mm, a lung met also had a bit shaved off and my pancreas met looks thinner but the same length! What did I do? Well I added in fbz to the protocol 3-4 months before the scan and I added iscador Qu by subcutaneous injections for 4 weeks before the scan. A previous IV mistletoe therapy for an 5 week period gave me stability in the next scan. Mistletoe is an immune system mobiliser If you can do that and have some sauna’s/fevers I think you might get things working better. I’m carrying on with another course of iscador qu and will try and keep it going for 3 months. My oncologist went ape about it but I think it’s having an effect.

Hello Friends. I just had another PET scan in January, and it shows some areas of moderate hyperuptake. I am staying calm and carefully planning my next steps. This is why I’m asking about your experience with Dr. Peavler. I love his videos and the great outreach work he does. I already had an appointment with him before my first PET scan about a year ago; however, the protocol he gave me was very generic. I’d like to know if any of you have experience with him regarding the development of more specific protocols tailored to the specific type of cancer. I have been reading Jane McLelland's book and there is a lot of valuable information, but I prefer to have medical guidance."

Today, we honor and remember Stuart — an admin, a leader, and the single most prolific contributor in our community. It is with heavy hearts that we share that Stuart has passed away. We learned of his passing through his friend Kevin, who shared that Stuart took a fast turn, struggled for a few weeks, and passed just before Christmas. Stuart was extraordinary in his dedication to this community. His contributions were unmatched — not only in number, but in depth, clarity, and substance. He shared relentlessly: research, protocols, insights, experiences, and updates — always with the goal of helping others understand their options and think critically about cancer treatment. He believed deeply in taking ownership of one’s journey, in understanding the science, and in exploring innovative, tissue-sparing approaches that respected the body rather than destroying it. He was methodical, analytical, and generous with his knowledge — never posting to impress, only to inform and empower. In his final post to the community in October, Stuart shared details of advanced ablation therapies he was pursuing — histotripsy and pulsed electric field (PEF) ablations for liver and lung cancer. As always, he wrote with precision and hope, outlining not just the treatments, but the reasoning behind them: sparing healthy tissue, tracking outcomes through PET/CT scans, liquid biopsies, immune markers, and aligning therapy with metabolic and lifestyle strategies. Even in that post, Stuart was teaching. He spoke openly about ketogenic nutrition, body composition over scale weight, aerobic movement, immune monitoring, and the importance of adapting intelligently to physical limits. It was classic Stuart — thoughtful, grounded, forward-looking, and deeply committed to doing things the right way. Stuart was not just an admin. He was a cornerstone of this community. He helped shape conversations, raise the level of discourse, and set a standard for what informed, empowered patient advocacy looks like. Many people here learned because of him. Many felt less alone because of him.

I had a checkup with my oncologist yesterday after an MRI and CT scan and want to give people some hope. There has been no progression, no spread of the disease. The MRI on my brain was clear and not spread throughout the rest of my body. The big news she gave me is that the tumor in my lung is no longer there and no sign of it in my lymph nodes, the scan was completely clear. The middle lobe of my right lung has collapsed and all that is left is scar tissue. For all intents and purposes the cancer is no longer there. I am now in the position that I have to continue keeping my body in a state that keeps it unfit for cancer to survive. Never give up!! Over two years in, and this news has me over the moon. I thank this community for the support and information, as it is in large part responsible for my good news.
