Cancer (AML)
-
Hi guys, hope you are all doing well. Does anyone have any experience with AML (Leukemia), my uncle has been given 3-5 months to live and I am wondering what I could recommend to him to make him feel better and maybe even prolong his life. My first thought is B1 and B3 to help restore his metabolism. Would appreciate some tips and advice.

I don't have any specific regimens for you but I can tell you that the classic pro metabolic factors like B1 and B3 as well as K2 have been shown to be massively effective. Check out this for the studies: https://haidut.me/?s=Leukemia

@engineer thanks, I appreciate it!

@thibaud what @engineer said and that a good way to get b vitamins (Ray mentioned in an article) is by pouring hot/warm water (about 1/2 cup) over a couple of tablespoons of brewers’ yeast (solgar is a good, tasty brand) stirring it and then then letting it settle, and then drinking the more liquid part that rises to the top. It’s helped a lot once got around to doing it.
If that’s too much work you could sprinkle a tablespoon or two or more into soups, stews, gravies or spaghetti/pasta sauces. It adds a nice savory flavor. Some people sprinkle brewers’ yeast on their popcorn.
I’ll try to find the article in which Ray mentions brewers’ yeast. Best of luck. -
@16characterstwas Thank you, appreciate it very much.

Not sure how aspirin interacts with AML but aspirin has been shown to have anti-cancer effects due to its modulation of the COX enzyme. It doesn’t fully inhibit it but allows it to produce aspirin specific resolvins which are even more potent than normal endogenous resolvins.
“Aspirin-triggered proresolving mediators stimulate resolution in cancer”
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30862734/Might be something worth discussing with the doctors.

Not sure about this type of cancer, but there are good case studies for cyproheptadine. There was a thread on the old forum that cyproheptadine completely cured liver cancer in one case. All I could find on leukemia is this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18502826/.
Keep in mind that it makes people groggy and tired a lot. So if the goal is to make your uncle feel better, it might not be the best option, even if it helps a bit.
Good luck!

@thibaud I found a post in the old forum where someone submitted their email exchange with Ray Peat. Hope it helps:
Post in thread 'Ray Peat Email Advice Depository'
https://lowtoxinforum.com/threads/ray-peat-email-advice-depository.1035/post-119453I don't eat liver as it makes me very nauseas but I could try brewers yeast if it is useful for something?
I haven't tried B1 or pantothetic acid. Would this be in addition to brewers yeast?
I don't currently use aspirin but am trying to source a pure form in the UK.
Would you be able to provide approximate doses for all of the above please and let me know what they assist with?
Ray Peat said:
Vitamin B1 helps to oxidize glucose, so if you try 50 or 100 mg with a meal you should watch for possible hypoglycemia from the insulin. Pantothenic acid is safe in doses of 100 or 200 mg, and helps to limit hypoglycemia. Brewers' yeast has other nutrients that help with repairing the pancreas, but can cause gas, so it's best to start by pouring hot water over an ounce or two of it, and using just the liquid.
