Coronavirus: what I’m doing to protect myself

June 19, 2020/1 Comment

As a ‘terminal’ Stage IV cancer patient that is over 60, I should be afraid of the novel coronavirus. As a miraculous survivor of three different dire prognoses of impending death, I’m not. My niece once said, “Aunt Kai, you’re kinda hard to kill, aren’t you?” Humility is a road I sometimes forget to walk […]

On Bone Metastases and Thriving Metsters…

May 10, 2017

When we are first diagnosed with stage 4, we are given very little hope from the medical establishment. All we want to know is that there are cases of women who live for more than the couple of years (in my case months) we are given and are able to have a good quality of life. Most of us are not told that being in a room full of metastatic thrivers is possible. All I need to know is that it is possible, and then I will ‘make it so.’

Post #7: Non-toxic Targeted Alternative Cancer Therapies: anti-cancer botanicals and re-purposed drugs

May 25, 2016

At the International Integrative Oncology Conference in San Diego, April 2016, Dr. Dach presented a large amount of research and his slides showed many diagrams showing what is happening on a molecular level with these alternative cancer therapies in killing cancer. I am distilling it all down to the names of substances and a rough description of how they work.

Post #6: Electromagnetic Radiation and Cancer

May 17, 2016

We are surrounded by ElectroMagnetic Fields (EMFs) in our homes, school, workplaces, and outside, from cell phone and towers, power lines and smart meters, wi-fi routers, etc. Even out hybrid vehicles with Bluetooth communication.

Post #5: Potent cancer killers

May 16, 2016

You may remember reading about Dr. Eliaz as I covered his lecture at the Complementary and Alternative Cancer Therapies Conference (aka Annie Appleseed). Dr. Eliaz has been focusing on using Galectin-3 levels as a new biomarker for cancer and reducing those levels and cancer with the use of Modified Citrus Pectin. Galectin-3 is a protein associated with a three-fold increase in mortality, usually associated with heart disease.
