Living with cancer

Just takes a few minutes a day.

My (almost) daily routine includes these items pictured. Right now I’m doing fine. Here are some details that I think are important if you have prostate cancer:

1. I do not believe my prostate cancer is gone. It is in remission. The main reason for this is suppressing testosterone. This is done with Lupron, which I’ve written about many times. Unlike most cancers (which feed on glucose) prostate cancer is different in that it feeds on testosterone, not glucose.

2. I experimented last year by stopping the Lupron. The cancer came back (according to my PSA, which rose rapidly after the Lupron wore off.) I took an injection of Lupron and the PSA went down almost immediately.

3. The Ivermectin and Fenbendazole, sold as anti-parasitics, have been shown to be effective against many cancers. However I cannot agree that cancer itself is a parasite, as claimed by some podcasters. It might be so, but I have shown in my case that these two alone (with my other supplements) do not cure prostate cancer.

4. In taking IVM and Fenben, we must use enteric capsules, not simple gelatin. This is to get the medicine past the stomach into the bloodstream. Since the IVM “horsepaste” cant be squeezed into a capsule, I take mine with a spoonful of almond butter, which is very fatty. This coats the IVM.

5. I take turmeric and Crocin (Saffron derivative) because there is literature showing they can improve the function of P53, the tumor-suppressor gene. My P53 is damaged, and there is no clear science as to whether it can be repaired or not. I am betting on their effectiveness. While I did get a blood test that showed this damage (2023), they won’t give me another one to see if it is working. Money.

6. I take D3 more in the winter than the summer, as I believe sunlight is essential for natural D3 creation in the body. In winter, the supplements must do the job.

7. Selenium is an anti-oxidant, reducing stress in the vascular system. Caution, don’t take too much. 250 mg is my dose.

8. Milk thistle protects the liver. Some studies indicate the anti-parasiticals may harm the liver, but I have not experienced that.

9. Turkey tail mushrooms are effective anti-cancer agents, according to studies.

10. Vitamin B12 is the only essential vitamin not found in my plant-based diet, so I take it as a supplement.

11. Studies show that in any cases, Lupron stops being effective, as the cancer adapts to other nutrients. However we do not know what other factors maybe involved in that, such as poor diet, alcohol consumption, other co-morbidities etc.

12. Therefore I avoid all glucose and processed foods. I do not intend for my cancer to be able to find any alternative fuel sources in my diet. I firmly believe that my “whole food, plant based” diet is key to keeping my cancer in remission, depriving it of glucose and such foreign proteins as are found in meat and dairy. You can learn the details at nutritionstudies.org.

13. My cancer was first diagnosed in 2016. I am approaching 10 years survival, and am currently 73 years old. Unlike Dr. Whalen, the urologist who told me I had 2-4 years to live (July 2023), I believe I will live AT LEAST another 10 years. This positive attitude is part of my recovery. If you read my first few Substacks, you can see that two years ago I was “scared to death.” Do the AMA doctors want us scared? I don’t know—but they sure do scare us!

14. I am grateful for your comments and support. I do not live in fear today. I am productive, doing my thing at McDuff Lives on YouTube/Rumble/Facebook social media platforms and as @Leytedriver on X. Join me there to explore my research on US history, the JFK assassination, and my father’s death by “quick cancer”— the subject of my book, McDuff Lives! available on Amazon.
