Treatment of cancer

Treatment of cancer is much discussed topic.

Officially approved

Big pharma generally promotes chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

Curcumin

Alternatives to radiation or chemotherapy include curcumin, which is reported to have cured myeloma.[1]

Fats and oils

Seed oils are generally bad for your health (processed at high heat, often processed with chemicals) and poor health won't fight cancer well.[citation needed]

"Good oils":

  • animal fat, lard, suet
  • butter
  • coconut oil
  • cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil

Ivermectin and Fenbendazole (Fen Ben)

Ivermectin 3mg.jpg

John Campbell recommeds ivermectin and fenbendazole.

" Fenbendazole has been proposed for repurposing as an anticancer drug due to its ability to disrupt energy metabolism in cancer cells and induce cell death through multiple mechanisms. Its poor bioavailability when administered orally, though, remains a challenge for its use as a cancer treatment.[2] " ~ Wikipedia: Fenbendazole #Repurposing

Keto diet

" The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate dietary therapy that [...] forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. " ~ Wikipedia: Ketogenic diet

Mushrooms

   Paul Stamets     is an American mycologist, author and advocate of bioremediation and medicinal fungi who repeatedly appears on the     Joe Rogan Experience     podcast (at least twice).

Lion's Mane mushrooms

A lion's mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) growing on on living tree.

" Hericium erinaceus , commonly known as lion's mane , yamabushitake , bearded tooth fungus , or bearded hedgehog ,[3][4] is a species of tooth fungus. It tends to grow in a single clump with dangling spines longer than 1 centimetre (1⁄2 inch). It can be mistaken for other Hericium species that grow in the same areas. "

" Native to North America and Eurasia, the mushrooms are common during late summer and autumn on hardwoods, particularly American beech and maple. Usually H. erinaceus is considered saprophytic, as it mostly feeds on dead trees. It can also be found on living trees, usually in association with a wound. The fruit bodies can be harvested for culinary use and are used in traditional Chinese medicine. " ~ Wikipedia: Hericium erinaceus

Not surprisingly Wikipedia only offers a single line regarding the beneficial medicinal aspects of hericium erinaceus:

H. erinaceus has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries.[5] More recently, it has been included in products such as coffee and touted as an adaptogen.[6]
 (2025 [7]

What Wikipedia doesn't say is that Lion's Mane Mushrooms are anti-oxidants and help with these problems:[8]

Lion's mane mushrooms may be cooked and prepared as you would do with any other mushroom, often with an earthy or winey flavour. It may be dehydrated, desiccated, ground into powder, and/or made into a more potent concentrated tincture.

It's not uncommon for some people to have a mildly unpleasant stomach after the first time eating any particular species of mushroom. It should not occur again, unless you are trying a different species for the first time. After the first time your body should not face that issue again.

Turkey Tail mushrooms

A turkey tail mushroom (Trametes versicolor) growing on rotting wood.

" Trametes versicolor – also known as Coriolus versicolor and Polyporus versicoloris a common polypore mushroom found throughout the world. Meaning 'of several colors', versicolor accurately describes this fungus that displays a unique blend of markings. Additionally, owing to its shape being similar to that of a wild turkey's tail feathers, T. versicolor is most commonly referred to as turkey tail .[9] A similar-looking mushroom commonly called "false turkey tail" is from a different order (Stereum), and thus may sometimes be confused with the 'true' turkey tail mushroom, T. versicolor. Another lookalike is the multicolor gill polypore, T. betulina.[10] " ~ Wikipedia: Trametes versicolor

Polysaccharide-K extract

Further information: Polysaccharide-K

" Polysaccharide-K (PSK or krestin), extracted from T. versicolor, is considered safe for use as an adjuvant therapy for cancer treatment in Japan where it is known as kawaratake (roof tile mushroom) and approved for clinical use.[11][12] As a glycoprotein mixture, PSK has been studied in clinical research in people with various cancers and immune deficiencies, but its efficacy remains inconclusive, as of 2022.[11][5][13][14][15] In some countries, PSK is sold as a dietary supplement.[12][14] Use of PSK may cause adverse effects, such as diarrhea, darkened feces, or darkened finger nails.[5] " ~ Wikipedia: Trametes versicolor #Polysaccharide-K extract

FDA warnings

" In 2020, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) monopoly issued warning letters to two manufacturers for advertising misbranded T. versicolor PSK supplements as anti-cancer or immune therapy drugs, stating such products "are not generally recognized as safe and effective for the above referenced uses and, therefore, these products are 'new drugs' under section 201(p) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(p). New drugs may not be legally introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce without prior approval from the FDA."[16][17] " ~ Wikipedia: Trametes versicolor #FDA warnings

" Trametes versicolor may be used in traditional Chinese medicine or other herbalism practices.[11][18] "
