In Germany I have a voracious appetite for health and learning, itsdiffernet when i am home. Its time for family and all that means.

The network of friends and scintists I have is honestly unbelievsble, truly the worlds most brilliant minds will respond to my emails sometimes, I am so blessed.
Do you ever wonder why I cannot stop obsessing about vaccines, about diet and lifestyle ? for the public record, I want to live, I want to help others to live very well. Getting a few extra months is not an improvement, the only goal for this metastatic patient is simple, complete and enduring remission, predicated on excellent health and a tailored immune system.
I truly believe that I can achieve my miracle using these all the resources I have around me, the mix of holistic health and breakthrough medicine.
The stanford video, if you watch it well it explains the theory of operation of just one of my key treatments, now the cost increase and the hurdles imposed by the fda is truly criminal, in the interests of proclaiming public health they stiffle scientific innovation, raise costs and push research and clinical expertese off shore, I wonder why Germsny is the world leader, maybe itthereepigenetic environment. I know they have the lead, they are exporting and licencencing there excellent DC technologies around the world, the sooner the better. But the pace is too slow for millions of dieing friends, who at least die in ignorance that there death was invain, that therapies exist that can work very well indeed, for so many with the necessary resources, myself included. And not just money, but spirit and attitude are fundamental to survival.
I went to the harts ranges nearby yesterday with a dear friend, the day trip was beautiful, my other dear friend got admitted to the local hospital, his stoma is not working. every step of the healing journey is a challenge in germany, but we have to take the steps. Everytime I look back at CSN is see the misery of our current treatments, leaving them has been the best thing for my survival and morale.
this other wonderful 80 year old holocast survivor with stomach cancer and i had breaky the other day, she regretted hallwang, and viewed her visit to duderstadt as a waste of time and will go home and do chemo. I smiled and my heart broke inside, but I said "you must do what your heart tells you" she was so kind and she wished me well, as I wished her well, and that she has a miracle with her aggressive cancer.
to turn your back on the worlds best and to keep on searching was her decision, I have failed to inspire any faith and confidence in this kind hearted and compassionate lady. Her dream is inspirational, which is to teach her students about cancer and health. In that very action, she at 80 is a living example of being selfless and a truly noble human.
The people we meet on this journey make my time away from the family bearable, I do also love my own company, especially the abiity to read and research, off to the sauna, I leave duderstadt today and am going to frankfurt for a weeks qigong and therapy at dr siebenhueners and dr vogel.
My ketogenic ration took a step backwards today, it was the potatoe at dinner last night, i love seeing the result of my blood glucose and the ratio, its truly fascinating. My idea to live with a group of ketogenic friends and stay in remission while undergoing dendritic cell therapy still looms on my horizon. I have to organise my perosnal life to achieve that goal.
What to put into my speech ? only 10 minutes. Less is more, make key points clearly. I think i will leave the science to the scientists, I will focus on inspiring and sharing.
We picked up a hitch hicking young anthopologist yesterday, he had hitched from holland to the mountain summit in a day, finished with a 4 hour mountain climb at night, slept in his tent solo. we had the most amazing talk, he had kind eyes and a gentle heart and was worried about his masters result that came out today. I hope he passes. the study of human civilisation is a noble cause. It was a wonderful late lunch in a cute snowy german town, I dropped him off and smiled goodbye. He reminded me of me and my younger days.
The idea that he could could a mountain a few days ago, then he put it into action, then he did it. I have my mountain, I have done it, maybe each recurrence is a different mountain or a series of peaks on the way to my everest. thats the point with cancer, lots of false summits, the success is staying on the healing path and not falling of over the precise. Even if I fall the view on the path and from the summit is breathe taking.
http://csn.cancer.org/node/264671#comment-1419991 i wonder why I bother sometimes, but maybe a few chemos will be interested, god bless and help them becuase I certainly cannot, but I can help myself, and thats more than enough! the science is clear and compelling for anyone who wants to live.

what feeds cancer and suppresses your immune system
NewI accept sugar is the answer based on my research, plenty dont and that their choice.
I also am struggling daily with ketosis, but today was my best day coincidentally Glucose 4.2/keytones 3.1, I need this ratio to be less than one per seyfried guidelines, all I can do is try and hope and not die. its a fun experiment for me, i have a few friends doing this hardcore and they are doing well with metastatic, so I have hope.
I suspect one of ketogenics hidden strong points is that low sugar stop immune supression and many sugar related issues, i will leave it there, not seeking to side track this simple post about gut bugs with another sugar talk, we have been there once, and once is enough
anyway one of the supporting articles requires a subsciption, here is an excerpt
alas nothing simple about these gut bugs, whats unknown is our greatest hope.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=da9z30QsE9k&noredirect=1 this video explains one of my current therapies using dendritic cell, its excellent , not precisely what i am doing in germany but close enough. its relevant to see why stopping systemic chemo, enhancing immune function is the via diet, slowing cancer growth by diet are apart of whats been a successful strategy so far for me.
The Microbiota Makes for Good Therapy
The gut microbiota has been implicated in the development of some cancers, such as colorectal cancer, but—given the important role our intestinal habitants play in metabolism—they may also modulate the efficacy of certain cancer therapeutics. Iida et al. (p. 967) evaluated the impact of the microbiota on the efficacy of an immunotherapy [CpG (the cytosine, guanosine, phosphodiester link) oligonucleotides] and oxaliplatin, a platinum compound used as a chemotherapeutic. Both therapies were reduced in efficacy in tumor-bearing mice that lacked microbiota, with the microbiota important for activating the innate immune response against the tumors.Viaud et al. (p. 971) found a similar effect of the microbiotaon tumor-bearing mice treated with cyclophosphamide, but in this case it appeared that the microbiotapromoted an adaptive immune response against the tumors.
ABSTRACT
The gut microbiota influences both local and systemic inflammation. Inflammation contributes to development, progression, and treatment of cancer, but it remains unclear whether commensal bacteria affect inflammation in the sterile tumor microenvironment. Here, we show that disruption of the microbiota impairs the response of subcutaneous tumors to CpG-oligonucleotide immunotherapy and platinum chemotherapy. In antibiotics-treated or germ-free mice, tumor-infiltrating myeloid-derived cells responded poorly to therapy, resulting in lower cytokine production and tumor necrosis after CpG-oligonucleotide treatment and deficient production of reactive oxygen species and cytotoxicity after chemotherapy. Thus, optimal responses to cancer therapy require an intact commensal microbiota that mediates its effects by modulating myeloid-derived cell functions in the tumor microenvironment. These findings underscore the importance of the microbiota in the outcome of disease treatment.
