Since the mainstream suggestion is amputation and relearning to walk with prosthetic or wheelchair

My suggestion would be to contact a functional medicine doctor

Who will apply:

• DMSO + Ivermectin + Mebendazole (or Fenbendazole) - topically

• DMSO + ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) - topically

(DMSO increases permeability of the skin to the Ivermectin and Mebendazole creams)

See the impact of that after 1 month

 

And orally give Ivermectin + Mebendazole (or Fenbendazole)

And increase Vitamin D blood levels - with Vitamin D3 10,000 IU + Vitamin K2 200mcg - for 2-3 months

And other aspects of the metabolic approach

Possibly even low dose chemotherapy at 70% dosage (which according to Dr Angus Dalgleish reduces most of the side effects of the chemo)

And possibly radiation and localized chemotherapy injections into tumor (intratumoral - see Dr Jason Williams below)  

 

MidWestern Doctor on substack has a series of articles on DMSO in combination with drugs to increase absorption through the skin (ie topically):

@MidWesternDoc

DMSO greatly potentiates natural and conventional cancer therapies. I just had a doctor who used it with topical Ivermectin report this case to me:

I have a protocol for DMSO+Ivermectin applied topically. Oral ivermectin does not need to be converted into a prodrug in the body and it can be used topically in certain applications. I have patients combine DMSO+IVM to make a paste and apply it to the skin for 30-60 mins 1-3x daily. Right over the tumor location. Wash off. Got a patients surgical path back from a spinal tumor. The result: complete pathological response. Not ghost cells, but back to healthy human cells. I'm currently writing this up for a case study.

Hundreds of Studies Show DMSO Transforms The Treatment of Cancer

A remarkable cancer treatment has been hiding in plain sight for decades

Dr Colleen Huber (who runs a clinic in Arizona):

@ColleenHuber

For melanoma and other skin cancers at my clinic, we have been using ivermectin with DMSO for a few years and DMSO with other substances for decades longer.

@MidWesternDoc

A new study found vitamin C in DMSO eliminated 56% of diagnosed skin cancers in just 12 weeks—94% of patients avoided surgery. A 2022 trial found even higher results: 86% resolution vs 57% for the standard drug, with zero scarring vs 70%.

But skin cancer is just the beginning When DMSO is combined with an anticancer agent, it carries it directly into the tumor, making it far more potent at far less toxic doses. Readers have reported using DMSO combinations to eliminate skin cancers without surgery, resolve ovarian tumors in weeks, and calcify lung spots. Physicians are now combining it with repurposed drugs like ivermectin and reporting promising early results against prostate, breast, colon, and ovarian cancers.

Here I present the extensive evidence on how DMSO transforms cancer treatment.🧵

Thank you @NicHulscher for posting this!

 

Dr Nic Hulscher:

A REMARKABLE study found 56% of skin cancers were ERADICATED after just 12 weeks of topical vitamin C in DMSO.

The squamous cell carcinomas were NO MATCH for a simple, low-cost solution: 30% ascorbic acid in 95% DMSO/5% distilled water.

Nearly ALL patients AVOIDED surgery.

I really need your thoughts on this

Kindly-Mechanic-3933

The patient is 88 years old, female, doesnt have diabetes or other health problem except this one. She got diagnosed with cancer tumor on the right foot.

The doctor told us recently that her foot needs to be amputated, stating that there are no other viable medical alternatives left for her condition. Hearing this was devastating for our family, and before moving forward with such a life-altering surgery, we desperately want to know if there could be any other possible solutions,, or alternatives we might have missed. Has anyone faced a similar diagnosis or consulted specialists who found another way? Any insights, experiences, or questions we should ask before making this final decision would mean the world to us.

Here is what the scan result says:

CT SCAN OF THE RIGHT FOOT

​INDICATION:

​Plantar amelanotic melanoma.

TECHNIQUE:

​Volumetric helical scan in thin slices with multiplanar reconstructions, performed without and with contrast injection.

RESULTS:

​Cutaneous and subcutaneous soft-tissue mass on the plantar surface of the forefoot, budding and lobulated, with soft-tissue enhancement after contrast injection.

​It measures 65 × 20 mm, extending over 55 mm.

​It locally invades the plantar fascia, reaching contact with the short flexor tendons, without being able to confirm their invasion.

​Absence of detectable bone destruction adjacent to the lesion.

CONCLUSION:

​Plantar soft-tissue mass of tumoral origin (previously known), with deep extension into the plantar fascia and contact with the short flexor tendons, without being able to confirm their invasion.

​No bone involvement.

Hi, I tried to post my story on the groups Cancer and Lymphoma but unfortunately the mod bots auto deleted it... seems they really don't want people to know about non conventional treatments. Anyway, I just want to share my journey so far after refusing conventional treatments. My goal is not to convince anyone to refuse chemo/radio but rather share some hope, as well as my routine that may be helpful even for those doing conventional treatment.

40M living in Asia, so for Western folks, please understand that in this part of the world there are 2 schools when it comes to dealing with cancer and health in general: western medicine (including chemo, radio, immunotherapy etc for cancer) vs oriental/chinese medicine (mostly based on bacterial, plants, herbs to reinstate balance in the body, clean the blood etc). Many people here chose the latter to treat cancer, and not just as adjunct, but as core treatment.

So back in May I noticed an enlarged tonsil which I first thought to be a simple infection, but after ENT consultation the doc said it may be cancer... after biopsy and waiting for results for 10 days, it was confirmed to be DLBCL post GCB, and PET CT confirmed 2E as the stage.

While the oncologist wanted me to start 6 rounds of R-CHOP chemo within days after confirmation of the diagnosis and said that I had 70-80% chance of cure, I have made the difficult decision to refuse this treatment because I know a traditional medicine master who cured people with cancer (I have talked diligently to one of them who was in Stage 4 Lymphoma) and I had the personal conviction that the best route for me was natural healing.

The overall timeline and evolution of the cancer is like this:

May/June (diagnosis):

- tonsil: slightly enlarged, can talk and eat normally

- neck: no visible mass

- LDH (indicator of tumor metabolic activity): normal

- CRP (indicator of inflammation): not measured

- weight: normal

July:

- tonsil: very enlarged, can no longer talk and eat normally

- neck: visible mass, looks deformed

- LDH: elevated x2 healthy threshold

- CRP: elevated x7 healthy threshold

- weight: a bit slimmer but still normal

August:

- tonsil: still very enlarged, but getting better for talking and eating

- neck: even larger mass

- LDH: still elevated x2 healthy threshold

- CRP: back to normal, in upper range

- weight: underweight after a 7 days water fasting

End September:

- tonsil: mass shrunk by ~60%, back to talking and eating as normal

- neck: mass shrunk by ~90%, barely noticeable now

- LDH: back to normal

- CRP: back to normal, in lower range

- weight: still underweight

Sharing some pictures of my neck taken early September vs now, the image will speak for itself.

Here is my daily routine where I tried the combine the best from traditional Oriental and Western functional medicine:

- Asian herbal medicine 3x / day

- 1 tsp of black cumin in morning (chose one independently tested for its % of TQ, an anti cancer molecule) - FYI I just started this recently

- 2x green juices / day, using anti angiogenesis and antioxydant aliments (ie: celeri, cucumber, lemon, kale, spinach, turmeric, ginger, matcha powder, black pepper)

- Diet is keto/low carb (cf Press/Pulse protocole from dr. Thomas Seyfried, the diet is the 'press' to put the cancer under metabolic stress), and also eliminated completely all processes foods, additives, preservatives

- HBOT at 2.0 ATA for 50mn 5x / week (the 'pulse' to hammer the cancer cells with oxydative stress)

- 15mn green light therapy at NIR wavelenght on my neck 5x / week to stimulate the mitochodria

- 2h of molecular hydrogen inhalation / day (studies showed H² slows cancer growth)

- sunbathing especially the back every morning

- walking barefoot every morning, going to nature/sea/mountains whenever possible

- 0 chemical not only in my food but also on the skin (no shower gel, no shampoo, toothpaste is replaced by activated charcoal)

- breathing technique, Qi Gong

- less TV, more books

- very light exercise: walking, swimming, resistance training

- a lot of prayers and meditation to put the mind at ease and free of thoughts.

I am meeting my oncologist every month for blood work and will post here if any significiant update. While everything indicates that I am healing, my short term goal is now to regain weight. To be officially declared in remission I am supposed to do a PET CT which I will not do again given the toxicity of the liquid they have to inject. I will just stick to my routine.

Hope my story and routine would give some hope and be useful for some of you. God bless you if you are going through this and keep a positive mindset at all time, you've got this!
