My Supplements

20130303-162304.jpgI have decided to publish my current supplement list. Most of the supplements I have researched and I have a good reason for taking, however I do acknowledge that it is getting out of hand and will try to prune it over the coming weeks.

Most of the supplements are on the list because some scientific evidence exists of their benefit for cancer, however please note that very few clinical trials exists to prove the eficacy.

Every monday, Wednesday and Friday I have an IV infusion. It contains:

Vitamin C as sodium ascorbate, 90g
Alpha Lipoic Acid, 800 mg
Sodium Bicarbonate, 0.8g
Zinc

Injections

Once a week I inject 2.5ml of GCMAF
Once every 2 days I inject Iscador (Mistletoe extract)

Diet

Every day I have a serving of MAF878, probiotic yogurt which I brew at home from starter cultures.
I have a cup of berries, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries with 1/2 tea spoon of cinnamon.
I try to have at least 4g of pure cocoa powder, which I mix with hot water and a little cream.

I also brew a herbal tea and have 4 small cups each day. The Tea contains. Chamomile, Mint, Lemon Balm, Soursop Leaves and Stinging Nettle. Sometimes I add few slices of raw ginger.
The Chamomile, Mint and Ginger is to help with nausea. Lemon Balm has a calming effect, Soursop is said to have anti-cancer properties, and Stinging Nettle is to help red blood cells to recover after chemo.

The Future

In the near future I intend to add, Metformin, Quercetin and additional Ginistein, as I feel the GCP formulation does not contain enough. Due to the high copper on my recent blood test, I also intend to start copper chelation with ammonium tetrathiomolybdate.

About Ren

I have been diagnosed with stage 4, metastatic colorectal cancer in October 2012, 3 days after my 44th birthday. There is no cure, but I am determined to go down the road less travelled to find one. I have setup this blog to document my journey and hopefully help others in the process. My view is that if there is a cure, it does not lie with traditional chemo, but with the immune system. Time will tell.
