I can understand being afraid to be disappointed, sure. Even if the Lourdes water fails to produce any results, perhaps there’s still a lesson to be gained from the experience? Though, a faith healing I had years ago proved to be less than miraculous, I learned a valuable lesson from it.
Sure. Maybe I will discover it has done nothing for me. And that's really not an issue.
I have recently been interested in people having been healed at the same time with religious experiences. That's fascinating that people healed from such low health states, almost instantly for some.
In a book I've read about cancer spontaneous healing, it seemed like having a regain in religiosity was a healing factor. Also, often these people gained a deep positive view of life and saw their cancer diagnostic as a sign they needed to change their way of life.
Interestingly, (dry)fasting (I'm not here to proselytize about fasting sorry if it comes as such) has helped some people experiencing religious experiences but I hadn't this chance myself. That's why I'm "afraid" Lourdes water is not going to bring anything.
I reposted an interesting study (and some dry fasting / "religious experiences" testimonies in the same thread) on the RPF:

I created individualized protocols for them before they embarked on lengthy dry fasts, but I didn’t think to mention, “Oh, by the way, you might have a spiritual awakening during the dry fasting.” To my astonishment, every one of them came to me in awe of the spiritual experiences they had. They would ask tentatively, “Is there a spiritual side to this?” The resounding answer is yes. Working in conjunction with one another, the body, mind, and spirit incinerate anxiety and stress, just as they destroy diseased cells. While you are literally starving, spiritual nutrition feeds you and strengthens your resolve.
Take care.
Thanks, you too!

Ohh…it is you. Hi!
If you haven’t done so already, you might be interested in reading Anita Moorjani’s book Dying to Be Me. She had a spontaneous healing (cancer) within days of having a near death experience. My only caution is if you’re religious, some of the things she says in it might bother you. She doesn’t talk negatively about religion, but what she experienced might be upsetting to those with certain belief systems.I can see dry fasting having a spiritual effect on us, and I completely agree that when disease has manifested, it’s a sign that our way of life needs an overhaul, at least, I know mine did, and it started and ended from within. This is just a theory based on my experience with a digestive disorder, thyroid supplementation, serotonin tests and dry fasting, but I suspect an increase in adrenaline, especially if coming from a low thyroid state, and a reduction in serotonin and endotoxin from not eating or drinking (or low irritation diets like carnivore) bring about extreme clarity, i.e., the brain fog has lifted, a heightening of senses and euphoria (think “runner’s high”). I liken it to what I’ve heard described as an LSD trip (antagonizes/blocks serotonin?) or the honeymoon effect where everything seems better—colors are more vivid, flavors are bolder, music is more inspiring, touch is more intense, and I’m in such a happy, giddy state and have so much love for everyone, not that I don’t normally, but it’s heightened. It’s as if I’m experiencing life for the first time. To me, it’s embodying the energy of a child where even a simple box provides hours of pleasure. I can be in an empty room and not want to be anywhere but there in the moment, my joy is coming from this inexhaustible, internal source, not a fleeting, external one.
I’ve talked quite a bit about it on the old forum, but I can achieve the above state within days of doing what brings me joy, however, a more practical approach for those who have a hard time embracing it fully is dietary changes and I’ve talked with so many members who have experienced the same thing, even with simple changes to their diet, and read so many accounts in carnivore and fruitarian communities, so that’s a main reason why I’m such a proponent of diet customization, especially in advanced disease states. Ray talked about how our thoughts affect gut permeability and how eating foods that are tasty to us start the digestive process so I think there’s actually a sound, physiological reason for “religious” experiences and spontaneous healing with dietary modifications, following our joy and/or believing in something as powerful as the one who holds the patent to these meat suits we’re wearing (lol). It’s why I suggested the “grandmother” diet. IME, there’s something powerfully healing in feeling we are being cared for, that we’re not doing it all on our own. It’s the power of “working in conjunction with one another, incinerating anxiety and stress.” Perhaps one reason protocols work for many? There’s a power in group thinking.
Anita Moorjani went from following a cancer protocol (Gerson style) and dying, to falling into an NDE state where she was made aware that if she chose to come back to life and be herself fearlessly she would heal, and coming out of it having a spontaneous healing, while eating ice cream and dancing to ABBA’s Dancing Queen in her hospital room. She believed she would heal because she had no reason not to. However, even after her NDE and the revelation she had, when she was feeling rundown from giving talks about it around the world, she did what the majority of us who are firmly entrenched in this world do. She turned to the internet, started researching ways to feel better, got into smoothies and only got worse so she sat with herself and asked her body what it needed. Chicken and eggs came to mind so she went and boiled up some eggs, felt better almost immediately after having them and learned she just needed more protein. I quit following research and overthinking health, i.e., I relaxed my mind, which losing 20 years of research notes last year made easier, and fully dedicated myself to following my joy, and what took me 14 years of losing what was left of my sanity playing armchair researcher and biohacker, I achieved within months of letting go and I’m now climbing mountains again when I once couldn’t even walk, and this was even after suffering the greatest loss of my life.
There’s so much that can be said on the subject, but I don’t want to continue hijacking the thread. I hope whatever your experience with the Lourdes is, it’s an impetus that leads to greater understanding and wonderful, lasting health.

Could be an interesting story (and it's even available in french)! I'm always found of those cases that might help better understand these "incurable" diseases we are suffering from. And don't worry, I'm not religious even if I'm more interested in religion lately.I can see dry fasting having a spiritual effect on us, and I completely agree that when disease has manifested, it’s a sign that our way of life needs an overhaul, at least, I know mine did, and it started and ended from within.

Yes, dry fasting will increase alertness in some (or fatigue in others) and clearly increases stress hormones (more noradrenaline than adrenaline btw, which tends to decrease, it was found in a DF study). I don't know the exact mechanism linking dry fasting and potential spiritual experiences (it doesn't happen to everyone, far from it even) but as LSD trips, some people seem to keep benefits even long after the fast ended (spiritually or physically, if these can really be divided).

Didn't know this idea of Peat!
Never tried carnivore nor fruitarian but I generally like what I eat.
I've reduced salt since about a month and unsalted food taste bland at first (so it decrease pleasure, at least initially I believe), then salted foods taste over-salted. What's interesting is I believe salt free might be a feature of both (some, not all) carnivores and fruitarian. Moreover, I think not mixing fats and carbs might lower hedonism too. Not that I think they don't enjoy their food.Anita Moorjani went from following a cancer protocol (Gerson style) and dying, to falling into an NDE state where she was made aware that if she chose to come back to life and be herself fearlessly she would heal, and coming out of it having a spontaneous healing, while eating ice cream and dancing to ABBA’s Dancing Queen in her hospital room.

I think disproportionately high focus on health research is induced by the diseased state and I can totally believe that it's a relief when you are successfully able to let it go! That's not what life is really about after all. But that's also a sign that you are not in a learned helplessness state.
There’s so much that can be said on the subject, but I don’t want to continue hijacking the thread. I hope whatever your experience with the Lourdes is, it’s an impetus that leads to greater understanding and wonderful, lasting health.
I'll try it soon and report it

Sorry if this has already been mentioned.
Some people use low-dose naltrexone for cancer. It seems like a low risk adjunctive. Ray Peat was not against its use.

I’ve heard the same thing from people who use(d) ayahuasca. Anita was once asked to attend an ayahuasca ceremony to compare it to her NDE and she said it was similar. It’s even been used in the treatment of diseases including cancer:

I agree that salted food tastes over-salted after a period of reduced salt intake. Most fruitarians I know of don’t use salt, however, they (true fruitarians, not low-fat raw vegans/80/10/10ers) will mix carbs and fat and eat durian. For the first 3 years of fruitarianism I didn't use salt, but by the 4th year I used it liberally after developing anxiety attacks that went away when I started salting my food again.

Agreed. That's definitely not what life is really about.

I look forward to reading about your experience with it.

@Amazoniac said in cancer:
If you've been moved by respect, feel free to ignore the posts.
Thank you.
Jennifer,
I'm the one to thank you for clarifying that you weren't invested on this to defend your views, but out of respect for the conversation. After all, it would take disrespects at any moment to avoid being intensely argumentative. An unbearable one:
- 'I would prefer not to discuss this topic further, will refrain from commenting for now, and hope that you don't mind.'
-
I'm sure that you have gotten into conflicts with familiar people for diverging opinions. I find Jennifer remarkable in spite of her applegated phase.
You were discussing fasting, and there's a lot of information on variations of it applied in cancer. An example:

Sure..
But it's no different than what you're doing right now: continue to defend your positionings rather than reacting out of respect for the conversation.
That reply would be just as vague as stating your views and obscuring your reasons. And when you have no intention to elaborate on your points (as just reinforced), it's indeed better not to feed an argumentative trip through actions.
The suggestion is to transfer all related posts to:

One broader question on cancer, following the discussion, would be methods for identification of cancer / detection. Biopsy seems to be a no-go overall given the stress it induces to the body, often promoting a cancer.
Does liquid biopsy (blood tests) present an option? Below post seems that if you are looking for genes, then not. If not looking for genes, what are we looking for then?
A blood test to look for fragments of DNA in the bloodstream
“She was offered a blood test, also described as a "liquid biopsy" which looks for fragments of DNA which have broken off tumours and are in the bloodstream.
This so-called "circulating tumour DNA" revealed that Kat's cancer growth was being driven by a mutation in the ALK gene.”
I won't state the obvious
This story was published hours before the announcement that the other Kate has cancer.

Stumbled on this one from references in links in the Horseradish thread but didn't read beyond the abstract.
Abstract
Cyclooxygenase and human tumor cell growth inhibitory extracts of horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) and wasabi (Wasabia japonica) rhizomes upon purification yielded active compounds 1-3 from horseradish and 4 and 5 from wasabi rhizomes. Spectroscopic analyses confirmed the identities of these active compounds as plastoquinone-9 (1), 6-O-acyl-beta-d-glucosyl-beta-sitosterol (2), 1,2-dilinolenoyl-3-galactosylglycerol (3), linolenoyloleoyl-3-beta-galactosylglycerol (4), and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-3-beta-galactosylglycerol (5). 3-Acyl-sitosterols, sinigrin, gluconasturtiin, and phosphatidylcholines isolated from horseradish and alpha-tocopherol and ubiquinone-10 from wasabi rhizomes isolated were inactive in our assays. At a concentration of 60 microg/mL, compounds 1 and 2 selectively inhibited COX-1 enzyme by 28 and 32%, respectively. Compounds 3, 4, and 5 gave 75, 42, and 47% inhibition of COX-1 enzyme, respectively, at a concentration of 250 microg/mL. In a dose response study, compound 3 inhibited the proliferation of colon cancer cells (HCT-116) by 21.9, 42.9, 51.2, and 68.4% and lung cancer cells (NCI-H460) by 30, 39, 44, and 71% at concentrations of 7.5, 15, 30, and 60 microg/mL, respectively. At a concentration of 60 microg/mL, compound 4 inhibited the growth of colon, lung, and stomach cancer cells by 28, 17, and 44%, respectively. This is the first report of the COX-1 enzyme and cancer cell growth inhibitory monogalactosyl diacylglycerides from wasabi and horseradish rhizomes.

@Ecstatic_Hamster Have you read anything about sarcomas? A family member of mine just got diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma. She has an 11 cm tumor in her stomach. They want to remove one kidney and her colon with the tumor right away. Hopefully the aorta will not be involved. They told her she has 6 months without the surgery and 5 years with it. She's 75 and in very good shape otherwise. Her husband has parkinsons, so this has been quite devastating for her and my family. I'm just looking for any alternative info I can find to support her.

I have, and I would do the same thing. Nobody will listen but that’s okay. I would do monthly ultrasound and take 1g of THC per day, in 1/3 g doses, via rectal suppository, with constituent extract components such as terpenes and associated cannabinoids. I have found a way to do this super cheaply without growing your own.
This should get rid of all tumors within 30 - 45 days, pretty much. Of course nothing works every time, but it sure seems to work most of the time, and there is always time to have kidneys removed later. Sorry, don’t mean to be flippant, but doctors just kill people with this. I have family members going through it now and it’s very, very ugly. I was able to spare a close family member through this method, and she is doing great with minimal medical interventions (although some as she was a bit conventional.)
Parkinson’s responds very well to 15mg or 20mg of CBDA several times a day. Very inexpensive and very effective.

im just gonna post the things to look into, I don't know if the blood thinning ones are safe for people with tumours, that is your call.
home made apatone: 5mg methylene blue + 500mg-1g vitamin c, 3x a day, mix in pure water and drink immediately, don't wait for it to go clear (that is my opinion).
high dose k2 mk4 (taken orally with 35g fat for max absorption)
emodin/aloe-emodin: heard this is a blood thinner, not easy to source but it's out there, 100-200 mg powder orally shows up in the urine at that dose so some of it is absorbing into blood too. a slight laxative effect. cascara sagrada powder contains emotion but im not sure how much. idealabs sells this mixed with lapachone iirc, it' s a lower dose of emotion but it apparently absorbs better.
doxycycline/minocycline antibiotics
the studied anti-cancer biotin, thiamine, niacinamide stack: I would at least recommend to try niacinamide and thiamine. the biotin probably is more likely to cause side effect (acne possibly) but not saying not to take it, just that thiamine and niacinamide are super easy to take.
cortinon+: proven as well as helpful for cancer in rodents
aspirin and baking soda: really not sure if that's safe with a stomach tumour, im guessing it is probably worth the risk but I don't know.
cyproheptadine: also a blood thinner. the dose that cured metastatic liver and bone cancer is 4mg 3x a day. or maybe it was kidney. the case report is online. this might be really worth looking into because it promotes sleep and hunger which might be important at this time. the zombie like feeling it gives to a cyproheptadine naive patient might be a little overwhelming and might feel like depression.
anti parasite meds are apparently effective
and then 50% gelatin / collagen protein.
raw pineapple for enzymes

@Ecstatic_Hamster actually legit, I know of a dude locally that cured cancer with I think RSO (rick Simpson oil).
all the stuff I listed is not incompatible with cannabis oil, anyways.
apatone is nice because in the literature the explanation is that it only causes damage to cancerous cells. all the other pro metabolic stuff would also push the cells to turn back into normal that can. apatone would kill off the ones that won't
-
@NNight disproportionate is relative to desire with what to do with the information and experimentation . there's a big difference between researching stuff out of anxious desperation or relaxed interest. im not saying the former is "wrong" to do, it offers comfort and solutions, but im saying that morphing into the latter isn't unheard of.
