Honestly, my heart goes out to everyone who has lost someone they held dear. Please, just try to stay strong—because, at the end of the day, that’s really all we have left to lean on. Sending my very best to you all.
Hi everyone,
If anyone happens to be looking for Imlay injections (specifically the Wella-Iscador series 0, 1, and 2), please feel free to send me a private message. We actually sourced these from Germany—it cost us about $330, if I recall correctly. Honestly, we’ve just been buying whatever we hear good things about, and now I find myself staring at a medicine cabinet so full it's almost overwhelming—especially since we don't exactly have forever to get through everything! I would be more than happy to trade these injections for 10 bottles of natural propolis, mostly because I can't find a reliable source for it here in Canada, and I’ve already started giving some to my mom. Based on my math, those 10 bottles of natural propolis would be worth roughly $383.
There’s been quite a bit of discussion about Imlay on this forum before. The way people typically use them is by following a schedule—for instance, taking series 0 on Monday, series 1 on Wednesday, and series 2 on Friday. Each series comes with 7 injections, so having these three boxes should cover you for about two months of treatment. They are great for boosting the immune system and are noted for their anti-tumor properties—though apparently, they work even better when paired with enzymes and selenium. At least, that’s what I’ve gathered from my research on Imlay, so if anyone is interested, please reach out!🙂
I suppose it’s time I offered a few "words of thanks"—and I’ll start, of course, with my immediate family. To go back to the very beginning, right when Mom first fell ill—my aunts, Mom’s own sisters, decided to pin the whole thing on my dad, my sister, and me. Honestly? Thank you so much for never once checking in on the three of us over these last nine months. Not once did they ask how we were holding up through those grueling 24-hour cycles, or how we managed to stay afloat while they spent all their energy judging us—claiming we weren't taking her to enough specialists or whatever else. Now, look, I get it—people get angry and bitter when someone they love gets sick—but really, why cast blame on my dad, who sits there with tears in his eyes just combing his wife's hair? Or on my sister, who was supposed to be getting married this September but had to call it off because she’s needed here at home? Or on me, who spends every waking second managing medications, cooking three meals a day, and basically letting college and my friends slip through my fingers... It’s honestly hard to wrap my head around. And to top it all off, one of them actually blamed us for her developing psoriasis—she even had to fly out to Tenerife just to try and feel better.

A huge thank you to that one friend who messaged me late one night on Messenger, asking if Mom looked any better than the last time she saw her (Mom is doing okay, generally, though she has lost function on her left side). I simply told her that I was just grateful my mother was still breathing, and then I promptly changed my status to offline.
And thanks to Mom’s relative who declared he never wants to see my sister or me again because we didn't visit when his father passed away at 76. Since Mom got sick, he hasn't so much as brought over a soda or called to check in on her. I understand he's grieving too, truly, but he lives in another city entirely, whereas Mom requires our attention 24/7—and besides, we've been keeping it from her that her uncle passed, since they were together during an X-ray and it would have sent her into a total tailspin. May his soul rest in peace; he was a dear uncle to me too, living a long, full life with three grandkids heading off to college, while my beautiful Mom is only 55 and won't live to see her own grandchildren grow up.
Then there are the people who, when they run into you, act all awkward and say they felt "too uncomfortable" to call—as if being ignored is somehow easier than being reached out to.

There are a thousand other people and situations that have hit me hard, but I won't bore you all with the details. Besides, looking around, I see we are all navigating similar storms, so I know you all get it.
On the flip side, there are people who have truly surprised us with their willingness to step up and provide support. I want to say a sincere thank you to my partner, who understands me, supports me, and—God knows—patiently endures my mood swings and erratic behavior. There are days when I know I am absolutely impossible to deal with. Thank you also to my sister’s boyfriend, who sits alone in their apartment waiting for her late at night, eating takeout even though he’s used to her cooking every single day. And thank you to Dad, for making me lunch when I can't, washing the dishes, vacuuming, and taking on a mountain of chores just to lighten my load.
That is how my family works—we stick together, which is what matters most; we love each other and we fill in the gaps for one another.
Thank you, God, for keeping us all under one roof for now, and please, let it stay this way for as long as possible, because we truly treasure it.
Linda Peterson37, I am just so incredibly sorry about your father.
We’re going to pull through all of this—I truly believe that—and I told Sabi once that nothing in this life would ever break me again. But honestly? Today is just one of those days where everything feels heavy; there's just been too much sad news hitting me all at once...
Dear Fiza, your post honestly had me laughing and crying all at once.
Things here are pretty much the same as they've been since day one—Mom is doing relatively well, so I don't have much of an update for you all. We’re heading in for an MRI in a few days, so we'll see what the actual situation looks like then. I just want to wish everyone so much luck and strength in the fight. Best regards,
A friend of mine has a mom who was diagnosed with gliosarcoma—as far as I understand, it’s similar to glioblastoma, just a bit more aggressive. I honestly didn't realize there was actually something even tougher than glioblastoma out there, but apparently, this exists🤷
Hi there,
I just wanted to jump back into this conversation regarding dexamethasone. My mom was on a 4 mg dose of dexamethasone until the eleventh month, and at that point, her oncologist suggested we try switching over to Medrol—specifically 16 mg in the morning and 8 mg in the evening. Honestly, Mom has been feeling wonderful since we made the switch—we haven't changed a thing—and she’s even moving her leg much better now than she did while on the dexamethasone. I know Angela Wright mentioned before that Medrol might not be quite as effective when it comes to treating brain edema, but hey, we aren't having any issues as of right now. I have to admit, I was pretty confused when the doctor first prescribed the Medrol, mostly because it seemed like everyone else was using Dexice.🤷

I feel this deep, urgent need to bring this vital information out into the light of day!

There is a natural remedy for cancer being kept under wraps—suppressed, even—simply because it wouldn’t generate any profit for the big players.
Please, I beg you, take a moment out of your busy lives to look through these links.

Hi there. Even though I don't post here all the time, I am right here with you every single day, reading every single thread. I just wanted to briefly share my own experience regarding Vitamin B17 and highlight what needs to be taken alongside it for it to be truly effective. My mother has been using it since New Year's. It isn't that I'm convinced it's some kind of miracle cure—though I'm hopeful—but since we really have nothing left to lose, I decided we should give this a try.

So, here is the list of everything she is taking:

-30 apricot pits (we get them imported from the United Kingdom)
-Vitamin E, 800 IU
-Vitamin C, 2500 mg
-Zinc, 25 mg
-Multivitamins and minerals (magnesium, calcium, Vit D, etc.)
-Pancreatin enzyme and bromelain
-Pumpkin seeds, due to the Vitamin B15 which is incredibly important
-Plenty of freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices (including apple, pear, grapefruit pits, and more...)
👍
Wow, you really put me on the defensive there, Emily Robinson93—what am I supposed to believe, that I can just cure my mother’s glioblastoma with a box of baking soda??? 🙄 And as for Candida, honestly, I struggle with that quite often myself, and I’ve had pretty great success managing it by ramping up my intake of acidophilus👍 (
The One—honestly, my heart just goes out to you. I truly feel for everyone dealing with a loss like this, because if I'm being real, I know it's my turn one day too...
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to reach out to anyone dealing with edema—that swelling that just won't quit—and let you know that Arnica drops might be the best natural remedy out there. I actually heard about this from a woman who was staying at the oncology ward alongside her mother. She has a relative who works as a neurosurgeon over in Germany, so whenever she shares something helpful that they suggest, we jump on it immediately to get it for my mom. For this woman, the swelling literally vanished in just seven days—her doctor couldn't even believe it during the follow-up appointment! My mom has only been taking them for two days so far, but I’m really hoping to see some improvement in her leg function soon; she can move it, but walking is such a struggle right now. As for how to use it: you dissolve 20 drops of Arnica in about 3/4 of a cup of water and take one tablespoon every two hours. I picked up the drops at a local herbal apothecary. If you're looking for something plant-based, please give it a try—I truly can't recommend it enough.🙂
Greetings to my dear fellow fighters,
I was chatting today with a woman who’s been staying at the hospital right by her mother’s side, and she mentioned something about using wild cyclamen root. Apparently, there’s this elderly gentleman named Luke over in Mexico—just a kind soul, really—who provides these roots to be brewed as a tea or used as compresses on the affected area starting on the 21st day. I should clarify right away that this man isn't out here looking for a payday like so many others; he only asks for enough to cover the actual costs of gathering the roots. I'm going to try to dig up some more concrete details over the next few days, so I'll be sure to update you all. On a brighter note, my mom is doing wonderful. I truly believe that medicine from Cetinje she’s been taking for four months now is making a real difference. I've been reading through your posts about struggling with high blood sugar caused by corticosteroids—well, my mom’s sugar is sitting at 7, and that’s after she had a whole bowl of grapes earlier this evening...
First off, I want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year 2008! My mom was just in for a checkup, and Dr. Soltysek mentioned that her situation is actually quite an interesting case—mostly because the growth isn't spreading further, which is pretty unusual for something like a glioblastoma. Now, she’s been prescribed Medrol, and I was wondering... does anyone know why that would be used in this context? Also, has anyone here tried using Green Magma? I’ve come across some really intriguing accounts regarding its effects.
All the best again, sending love to you all
Jane, I am just so incredibly sorry—honestly, believe me when I say that my sister and I both broke down in tears the moment we read this. You aren't walking this path alone, dear; please, stay strong and carry yourself with pride, knowing how much your mother would want you to honor her legacy.😢
Hi there,
I haven’t posted here in a little while—life has just been an absolute whirlwind of responsibilities lately. It has finally been confirmed that my mom is facing a Grade IV glioblastoma 😢, but honestly, I don't have the luxury of sitting around crying; I need to channel every ounce of my energy into fighting this disease. I could really use a bit of guidance. We managed to get our hands on some Iscador injections—specifically the 0.1 and 2 doses—but we haven't started the administration yet because the instructions are all in German, and my German is non-existent (I only know English)🙄 Could anyone please walk me through how to administer these to her? I would be incredibly grateful for any advice. On another note, my aunt is flying in from England soon, and she’s bringing a whole suitcase of supplements—everything she heard was helpful while checking with various pharmacies over there (pineapple root extract, shark cartilage, Q10, specialty oils, and things like that)
So, my mom finally got discharged from the hospital over the weekend—it’s such a relief! Plus, with the holiday coming up tomorrow, the whole mood at home is just wonderful, and she’s feeling pretty great herself. I was wondering, though, what kind of dosage levels are your parents getting for dexamethasone?
My mom is currently on 8 mg one day and then drops down to 4 mg the next, and I think her doctor mentioned she'll probably just stick to the 4 mg dose once she's fully settled back at home.
Angela Wright;10680387 said:Is it like some kind of dark green liquid, and does it specifically drink like a milky liquid?
Well, we actually reached out to this herbalist from Mexico and bought his specific preparation—it's one of those things where you just hope for the best, right? My mom only managed two doses before she had these absolutely brutal reactions—we're talking intense vomiting and a fever. It honestly felt like a sort of natural chemotherapy. She got so spooked by it that she refused to take any more, especially since she still had her actual course of Chemotherapy ahead of her... she was terrified of any nasty contraindications or drug interactions.

I'm not entirely sure if it's the exact same remedy—here, they brew this incredibly concentrated St. John's Wort tea, and in the morning, they add seven white drops to it, then in the evening, they mix in 25 ml of this green liquid that smells and tastes absolutely revolting into the tea. But here's the thing—Mom hasn't had any adverse reactions at all to this stuff. The only thing is, she gets a bit flushed in the face, but that stops as soon as she eats something—it seems like there might be some strong alcohol base in there. I’ll admit, I was pretty anxious when she first started—constantly worrying about how her body would react—but thank God, she’s handling it beautifully. This coming Friday marks 30 days since she started, and we're actually heading out to pick up the next batch tomorrow. Anyway, I'll be sure to check back in a month and let you all know if we see any real improvement.

As for the radiation treatments, my mom only undergoes about two minutes of it every day—which is probably why she isn't dealing with any burns or nausea. From what I understand, she's scheduled for 20 sessions in total; at least, that’s the current plan her oncologist laid out.
I’m not entirely sure if my experience with my mom might be useful to anyone else here—she’s currently undergoing cranial radiation. She’s actually completed about 12 sessions already, and honestly, she’s handling it remarkably well; I haven’t even noticed any hair loss, which was a relief. There’s no nausea, no redness, and absolutely no skin burns. We’ve been really focused on her nutrition—giving her plenty of noni, Biotta juices, and fresh juices made from beets, carrots, and apples. We also incorporate royal jelly with propolis, followed by Revit (that juice based on royal jelly). I noticed that none of you seem to be mentioning royal jelly in your posts, yet she remains incredibly healthy. Apparently, it takes something like three tons of honey just to produce three small jars of royal jelly, so it’s quite difficult to track down. On top of all that, we picked up a certain remedy from a gentleman out in Mexico. He makes it using various herbs infused in alcohol. He claims he finished medical school himself before battling cancer, and after wandering through the mountains, he discovered this specific plant that supposedly heals everything. We’ve been using his remedy for about a month now. Since she’s mid-radiation, we can’t get a CT scan done until next month, but once we do, I’ll definitely update you all if we see any positive changes. If anyone is interested in getting that man’s phone number, please just send me a private message. Best wishes to you all.
Hi everyone, I’m writing to you all from Boston. It’s been just over a month since my mom was hit with a diagnosis of Grade IV glioblastoma. At first, we were all convinced it was just brain metastases, but they couldn't find a primary tumor anywhere—until the biopsy confirmed it really is a glioblastoma. Right now, she’s undergoing radiation, but even her oncologist is leaning toward the idea that these might actually be metastases... she says the pathology doesn't quite look like a typical glioblastoma to her (apparently it has this strange, butterfly-like shape????). Is it actually possible for a pathology report to be wrong? I honestly can't wrap my head around the fact that we're dealing with this uncertainty on top of all the physical pain she's enduring. Does anyone here know if there's a specific specialist or office I could email her results to? I just desperately need a second opinion. I feel like my own life has completely vanished—I don't think about myself anymore. My entire existence is split between being at the hospital or scouring the internet for answers. I fall into these deep depressions quite often, and the moment I’m alone at home, I just break down and scream at the top of my lungs. Thank you to everyone who can help, and a special thanks to Angela Wright, whose posts always manage to brighten my day a little bit.
