Has anyone here actually used Maitake mushrooms alongside chemotherapy?
I’m looking for specifics: what form should I use, what dosage, and what’s the right ratio between extract and powder?
Some sources claim they work together to create a synergistic effect.
I want to buy the exact same stuff...
The website mentions some pretty incredible statistics, even citing success rates as high as 98%.

Angela Wright said:Look, I found another link on Reddit regarding Target

therapy, specifically how they might actually obtain credible results from what they're testing.

Regarding erlotinib and other similar little pills like imatinib or gefitinib...
they do have an effect, but it’s limited. Why? Because resistance develops across the entire first line due to receptor mutations. Once those drugs are administered,
meaning once they stop working, the tumor regrows via a "rebound" phenomenon.
They target EGFR—sorry, I botched the name—but they act reversibly. This is fundamentally different from antibodies, which
directly inactivate the target and then engage the complement system, and so on.

In most tumors, you see genetic heterogeneity. We're talking mutations, deletions, changes in phenotype and genotype, and massive multiplication. You don't just end up with double the chromosomes; you could be looking at 4, 8, or 47,46 times the amount because these changes are systemic.
The genome's repair mechanisms are effectively shut down by constant cell division.
So, what happens? Maybe 80% of the tumor disappears, but a mutated strain remains—one that continues to divide even faster.
Here is one site for comparison:
http://www.oncolink.com/conferences/...ss=206&id=1352

It provides a comparative application of two drugs backed by statistical data.

Ultimately, most tumors exhibit accelerated growth. They are stimulated by tyrosine kinase enzymes located beneath the cell membrane, along with their various functions.

Angela Wright said:Thanks for the reply.

An old neurologist once told us to steer clear of anything containing vitamin B16 (dimethylglycine), also known as DMG, because it supposedly feeds tumors. Since it’s found in meat, macrobiotics would probably be the ideal diet.

Can you look into more details regarding the Drug candidate?

I've been looking into their pitch, but I don't have a firm opinion yet.
I need to do more reading. You know how Americans are—they always think a vaccine is the silver bullet for everything.
The whole story about dendritic cells is interesting, but they’re always hiding something to protect technology that someone likely sold them for a massive profit.
I'm confident I'll dig up more specific data on its application, mechanism, and actual effects.
Even the use of Bevacizumab—Target—has its own strange history, but its target is well-defined. Still, it doesn't have a hundred percent success rate, and the side effects can be brutal, like stomach perforations.

Angela Wright said:Aside from the phenobarbital my mother is currently taking, what else could be hitting her liver this hard?
Aside from the phenobarbital, they’ve started taking Dexedrine, Ranitidine, and recently switched from Euglucon to Glimepiride to manage their blood sugar.🙄

Ranisan? Never heard of it. Glimepiride is notoriously difficult to manage. Then you have dexamethasone, which causes fatty liver issues, and that’s where the detoxification process happens—but we're talking about an overwhelming amount of medication here. It makes you wonder. And let's not forget how Hemoton always works to stabilize the liver by addressing those mediators and toxic metabolites that tend to accumulate there.
I am not giving my mother dexamethasone from my own supply, and I have already explained my reasons for that.
She’s feeling even worse today. Honestly, though? I think she’s actually just dealing with a virus, exactly like she claims.
I’m scheduled to run her blood work and biochemistry panels in a day or two. Once I have those results, I'll be able to dig into a much wider range of parameters. Only then will I be prepared to present my full, detailed assessment to you all.
.
Take my advice: steer clear of any supplement, food, or medication that puts unnecessary strain on your liver. If you stop overloading your organs and actually focus on a proper diet, you can bring those blood sugar levels down to a decent range. It really isn't that complicated. Why make things harder on your body than they need to be?
What does it actually mean when enzyme levels spike? Does it signify a crisis, or is it just statistical noise? It’s a valid question. Even if a slight elevation doesn't feel like a life-altering event right now, the goal remains the same: you need to bring those numbers back into the normal range. Stability matters. Normalization matters. Why leave it to chance?
There is an extract derived from Boswellia serrata that acts as a 5-LO (lipoxygenase) inhibitor, rooted in Ayurvedic medicine. Here is the reality: it must be administered in extreme doses—anywhere from 1 to 3 grams. Anything less is useless. In fact, taking insufficient amounts might actually feed the tumor. However, when done correctly, a single dose can significantly reduce brain edema. Is there any reason to settle for anything less than maximum efficacy?
Every single medication creates some level of chaos within the body. If you want to minimize that disruption, isn't it obvious that you should start by cutting out anything unnecessary? You have to eliminate the conflicting substances that cause harm and stick to the absolute minimum number of drugs required. Why take more risks than you have to?
Doctors? Please. They just wave their hands at any complication that arises. That’s always their go-to move when they want to get under your skin.
There is always an alternative to everything. Perhaps I have it easier because I realized a long time ago exactly where modern medicine falls short. To be honest, I’ve never been a fan of pharmaceuticals—it’s just not my philosophy when it comes to healthcare. Some things in life are unavoidable, sure. But most things? Most things can be bypassed if you know where to look.
You have to read everything. You have to know everything. And, of course, you have to believe that God is on your side.
Fortune favors the brave, sure. But let’s be honest: fortune really favors those who actually know what they're doing.

Can someone please lay out exactly what feeds a glioblastoma? I need to know what to cut out of the diet immediately because I suspect I might be making mistakes somewhere. What should I be avoiding? Thanks to everyone.🙏 😘 👍 😬 😎

slyseal28 said:Great, thanks for getting back to me. I was starting to spiral a little bit. And that assistant professor really spooked me with those lab markers. Though, maybe his quick reaction and constant checking isn't actually a bad thing? Thanks again.😘

My mother had wild numbers for her transaminases and the enzymes you mentioned—including her GGT,
I think, though I can't be certain. We might have actually sorted it out using those subcutaneous aloe vera ampoules, since that was the only thing she was taking at the time.
Those are apparently only available over in Russia, but if anyone knows if they can be found here in the States, let me know so I can swing by and grab some...

Sophia Richardson62 said:They were busy treating him for a kidney infection... only to realize on his very last day, when it was already far too late, that the cancer had spread everywhere...
That’s the state of modern medicine today...

Medicine used to be an art. Now? It's just a rigid system where there's zero room for outliers. Instead of actual care, you get a checklist designed to find textbook symptoms.
The reality is that doctors fall into two camps:
those who follow the cookie-cutter standards🤣 and
the unconventional ones😎—the few who refuse to fit into a standardized way of thinking.
But let's be honest. There are so many patients now that a doctor doesn't have the luxury of actually thinking about a person. They're too busy publishing papers, dealing with family issues, or rushing to the grocery store. They can't afford to spend more than a handful of minutes per patient, especially since there are even regulations dictating how much time they can spend.
Every single human being is a unique organism.

🙄 Medicine truly is a miracle...😬
By and large, you should follow what your doctor says. But when things aren't working? That's when you need to stop and ask why.😵
Greetings to everyone.

Angela Wright said:No, I was speaking hypothetically about "what if" scenarios. But the reality is that administering anything intravenously—and given my mother can't handle large doses of Dexedrine for long before things take a turn for the worse, she’ll likely need a PICC line soon—presents a significant hurdle.
I am still holding onto hope that this new medication might offer her some relief.😳 Let's just hope she stays lucid enough to experience it, because what we've seen so far has been nothing short of a miracle.

I'm going to be incredibly blunt here: Reglan, Clomel, or Metoclopramide are not sufficient treatments for chemotherapy-induced vomiting. Talk to your oncologist about getting a prescription that actually works to get you through those five days.
Make sure they prescribe what is actually necessary...

Angela Wright said:It’s hard to pull off because here in the States, people take their Temodar at home an hour before radiation—while they're still undergoing treatment—and then they just stay home when they're only on the Temodar. Glioblastoma patients are basically treated like outpatient clinic visitors who only show up for blood work right before and after a Temodar cycle finishes.

@wickedangel
You might want to try using crushed flaxseeds. Mix them into a glass of water and let them sit for a few hours. It creates this mucilage that you drink, which works to coat the lining of your stomach and intestines.

Maybe it's just easier for me because of the nature of my job,
but I would suggest doing this at home without needing any intense training with a thin needle. You'll run into far fewer issues. Believe me, you'll forget all about the nausea while taking Temodar.

Anonymous said:Has anyone heard of any tea or herbal capsules that can coat the stomach lining to help mitigate the damage from chemo? This is urgent. My aunt started her second cycle of Temodar today and she’s already thrown up 7 or 8 times. She can't even keep water down without feeling sick... we tried popcorn and peppermint tea, but she threw those up too. 😢

She needs an IV antiemetic about a minute before the Temodar hits—something like Ondansetron or Granisetron. Avossa, Ondansetron, Kytril, or whatever the specific brand names are these days.
Honestly, nothing else is going to help nearly as much as that.
It actually works.

Anything can happen when you're dealing with a CNS disease; a person could pass away within just a few days.
We have to consider everything from encephalitis and meningitis to even BSE.
Every individual has their own unique way of failing when it comes to vital brain functions.
The underlying mechanics might be similar, but the actual progression varies wildly from one patient to the next.

Michelle Cook83 said:It isn't just about what people eat; we're talking about actual gene mutations here.

If this only shows up in a tiny fraction of the population, yet everyone is eating the exact same diet,
then genes are quite clearly the deciding factor.
The real question is: are we going to keep fueling this with our current food supply, or are we just waiting to trigger more mutations?

I stumbled upon this just a moment ago. It’s a fresh piece of news.

restlessgull82 said:Well, they’re talking about Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease on our TV news and in major American magazines, saying there are cases here in the US and that everything is being covered up... That's why I asked. What are the symptoms? What kind of tests are used? I hear it's incredibly difficult to diagnose...

There isn't much information out there because we don't fully understand the pathology yet.
All we know for certain is that specific proteins—prions—accumulate in the brain, causing degenerative changes known as spongiform encephalopathy.
No virus has been identified as the cause; they haven't found any traces of a viral genome, or at least that's the official word.
Similar conditions have been documented for ages, such as those seen in ritualistic cannibalism in New Guinea.
A lot of this stems from feeding chickens, sheep, and cattle processed feed made from the remains of other animals just to cut costs. It's a horror story, isn't it?
You can search for the name on Google or Medscape.com.
If you want to dive into the deep end and learn everything currently known, that's where you should look.
Regardless, it all starts with Central Nervous System disturbances, and then the rest follows.

For Anaxy... here’s the recipe
Finally got the text from my buddy via SMS. Here is the verbatim message: "
"Look, man, if you buy that processed gas, it doesn't work—and you can't even find the good stuff around here anyway. But if you get the pure stuff from ExxonMobil, it actually works.

You run it through nine layers of gauze. Take one coffee spoon every two hours before you get out of bed for a month. Then take a fifteen-day break.

In the second month, take it for fifteen days, then pause for ten. In the third month, take it for ten days, then a one-day break, then another ten-day break.

After that, just take it whenever you feel like it. Once you've finished a dose, it’s best to lie down for two hours without drinking anything at all.

If you can't manage that, well, it tastes terrible, so just stick to small sips. Don't drink soda!

Best,
🙂

Angela Wright said:Is there any chance the tumor could shrink enough to make Gamma Knife surgery an option? Have you looked into that?

Look, I have to be blunt with you. I’m a surgeon by profession. I know the official medical protocols inside and out, both here in the States and internationally. Glioblastoma is the most aggressive type of tumor out there. You don't apply the "shrink it then cut it" logic here. If you can manage to quiet it down at all, you take the win.
In my mother's case, the tumor has already overtaken almost the entire hemisphere along with the ventricle. As far as the doctors are concerned, she's already been written off.
Everything matters—genetic markers, the patient's age, even their will to live.
We haven't done a CT scan in nearly five months.
She has right-side hemiplegia, and frankly, I refuse to drag her all over town just for some CT results that I can already imagine.
We'll just have to see how things play out.

Anonymous said:Every month, sure, but at what dosage? (She’s currently on 250 mg)
Are you suggesting we should expect a relapse after six months, God forbid?

My mother is only taking 100 mg for five days per cycle, every 28 days.
How much longer can we push this?
With antiemetics, she handles it well enough. We also supplement with herbs, mushrooms from China, topical aloe, and all sorts of things.
Even though she nearly slipped into a coma, she hasn't said a word since May—but it's clear she understands everything and knows exactly what she wants. It has only been six months so far.
We will see what happens next, but we have no intention of stopping the Temozolomide after the six-month mark.
She only started Temozolomide at the end of May because our family decided to take matters into our own hands.
.

Administering low doses, like 5 or 20 mg, daily is a mistake. It triggers tumor resistance far too quickly, which basically tanks the prognosis within a month or two.
According to certain studies, if you administer Temozolomide on a monthly basis—meaning a 28-day cycle—over the course of two years, there is a significant chance of extending survival rates.
The reality is blunt: as soon as you stop the Temozolomide, the recurrence sets in.

Anonymous said:Does anyone actually know if people with Glioblastoma are supposed to avoid Vitamin C or stay away from citrus fruits like lemons and oranges? Is there any truth to that?

As far as I know, GBM is an incredibly vascularized tumor. If you look at how it develops and expands, that growth is directly tied to its blood supply. Because of that, shouldn't we be cautious about Vitamin C? It can directly influence increased vascularization. Why take that risk?
Based on that logic, certain food items should probably be avoided—at least if you ask me. It makes you wonder about things like lemons and oranges. We really ought to run a proper comparison to see exactly how much Vitamin C is actually in an orange versus a lemon. Is there even a meaningful difference? One has to check the data.
If anyone has a similar perspective or a different take on this, speak up. I’m listening.
Given the frequent link between diabetes and glioblastoma (GBM), we need to look at this more closely. Why is this connection being overlooked?
Who exactly understands the disrupted development of blood vessels? Tumor metabolism has its own very specific biology. Perhaps that’s the key to achieving a decent therapeutic effect from these drugs. My mother was diagnosed with Glioblastoma (GBM) back in mid-February—symptoms actually showed up even earlier. In just six months, we have endured enough chaos and madness to make it impossible to say with any certainty what actually helps.

Have you made any headway regarding ExxonMobil, nanotechnology?

jadepuma662 said:Hi everyone

After doing extensive research in San Diego, my mother (71 years old) has been diagnosed with: TM KLATSKIN (bile duct cancer - Klatskin tumor... before coming to this forum, I was reading sites like cholangiocarcinoma.org and http://www.cancercompass.com). The doctor here in San Diego arranged for her surgery to take place at Mercury Hospital in Washington, D.C., which doesn't feel like the right choice to me (I just got back from Washington, D.C. five hours ago). I need to know: which hospital is actually the best for this specific condition? Do I have the right to demand she be treated elsewhere instead of at Mercury? Furthermore... can't an operation like this be performed in Miami (equally well or even better), which would be much easier for us to travel to? Please, I need answers quickly... the surgery is scheduled for Monday.
Thanks in advance

I have no way of knowing how well the facilities in Miami are equipped regarding intraoperative cholangiography and their ICU setup, ASSUMING we go by what the CT or MRI shows.
If you could provide more details regarding the exact stage, type, or specifically where on the bile ducts the stenosis is located, I might be able to offer more specifics...
A hepaticojejunostomy will likely be required, and that is a delicate procedure.
On top of that, there may be a resection of a specific liver lobe, though that depends entirely on what the surgeons find during the operation.
Regards
