So now that I have been given 3 to 6 months to live by my neuro-oncologist — probably more like 3 months judging the tumor load in my head — I literally asked him quite directly: “I want better options.” My best option that he could provide was access to a drug called carboplatin so that’s what I chose. Now, I’m suffering the side-effects of that choice: fatigue, nose bleeds, lowered immune response, etc. Basically, I’ve poisoned myself in the hope that it will make a difference in my battle against cancer.
“I want better options.”
Now here’s were things gets a little nutty — so hang in there with me.
If my doctors knew about a therapy that repairs one’s brain while it potentially could cure me of cancer, wouldn’t you say something about it. Nope, I guess not. However when I called to ask if Kaiser would cover it, I was told “someone else had already tried and was rejected.” So basically, they knew.
That therapy is Hyperbaric Medicine. Now the San Francisco Institute for Hyperbaric Medicine has a experimental protocol for GBM (the type of primary brain tumor that I have): eight weeks of being expose to 2.4 atmosphere(ATM) of oxygen.
I started HBO therapy last week but only 1.5 ATM due to my risk of seizures — eventually we’ll work our way up (down?) to 2.4 ATM. I got such a strong immune response after just one treatment, I thought that if I’m getting some benefit from 1.5ATM I wondered how powerful 2.4ATM would be. Unfortunately, I couldn’t pop my ears after my first treatment; so I put tubes it them the following Wednesday morning. By Wednesday afternoon, I had reached my treatment level with zero discomfort!
By exposing my body to 2.4 ATM, in theory, wakes up the cancers’ innate suicide programming. Which seemed to work, just after 1 treatment. The body will also regrow, repair, regenerate any damage the brain has encountered after two surgeries via stimulating stem cell production.
The only problem is the cost. It’s expensive at $250 for 90min sessions and my only option is to pay “out of pocket”. So far I’ve purchased only 10 days on my own – I need at least 40 days of therapy at 2.4ATM, probably more ‘cuz I still at 1.5ATM. Thus, these treatments could easily drain my bank account. So here’s where I’m going to hit my readership up for money:
Special Note:
all your Tonglen meditations have been producing miracles in my life — please keep doing them for me and everyone dealing with cancer! I’ll explain in more detail in a future post!
Here’s the secret to my success with HBO treatment:
- have a high blood sugar before going in
- take Ativan for claustrophobia about an hour before treatment
- after the treatment; load up on Vit C
- install tubes in ears

OMG Thomas I had no idea what was going on! I wish the best to you and will be sending good vibes for your recovery! I will help spread the word. Much love!
Hay you heard about Dr. Seyfried and his research on brain cancer? Like you I have been a vegan & raw on again off again for many years. I also have triple negative breast cancer. B/C my type of cancer is rare & aggressive I opened myself to any natural therapy that might work. Yes low fat raw vegan diets work. But what about those of us who still are getting re-occurrence etc? That is how I found Dr. Seyfried. I will be happy to send you his accdemic paper if you like. I urge you to contact to him ASAP. He will write you back & even give you idea on a protocol to begin shrink your tumor now. Here is his website: https://www2.bc.edu/~seyfridt/braincancer.html I urge you to remain open mined and read all the science behind his idea before you reject it.
Hello Thomas, just sending some healing thoughts your way today.
