Thank you. This is a great idea. I have been using chat gpt, asking it questions but I haven't actually tried it on this particular latest treatment. It will be interesting to see what it says.
You would definitely need to stick with keto. I have actually heard a lot of good, small testimonials. Some of them are from science journals and just lack the patient size. However, I don't think it would really buy me survival just a little more time at best. My conclusion is it could be worth pursuing but with my limited time I am just not willing to make the sacrifice. Not without having a better sense that it would cure me. For that reason I will pursue some other alternate strategies such as the spinning magnets.
Thank you for your help.
Yes the magnet is rated at having 500 lb pull (i don't know the term) capacity. It's about 2.5" in diameter and maybe half inch thick. Just approximating.
I have not yet gotten to measuring the magnetic field. The problem is, the cancer is inside my head so really a question of what the field is where the tumor is. I estimate it's 1 to 1.5" beyond the inner diameter of my skull near the back. So if my skull is half inch thick it's 1.5 to 2" I have to reach. I have no idea if I have the magnetic strength so for now I am just guessing.
Thank you for this. I don't have your background but I have GBM and research it and yes agree there is a total bypass in your system for keto. Your body finds a way to get what it needs. Keto might buy some time before that takes effect but it is not a solution.
I should also say that i am using the device for 20 minutes at a time and 3 times a day. I am not sure if that is sufficient, I know in the article they were using for 2-6 hours.
I am in the same boat. Glioblastoma diagosis 21 months ago. I am IDH wild type with MGMT methylation status. I am starting to get a possible recurrence.
Yes, I HAVE used the spinning oscillating magnetic field. I don't know that I am doing it right but I have the following setup and have been doing this for a month. I simply connected a large round 500lb neodynium magnet to a drill. I set the drill to oscillate for 2 seconds rapidly and then slow down to near stopping for 1 second. This results in it continually spinning up and down. Since I don't know the ideal frequency I am trying to hit ALL frequencies.
This is just a burner account but i am a very real person. If I lose my credentials, I may have to create yet another account. I apologize if that happens.
I know it's not appropriate but god bless you. Let's keep sharing. I appreciate you starting this up.
