We've come a long way. In 1980, I worked as a radiographic technologist while putting myself through premed courses and undergrad. A lovely young woman presented for CT scan for recent onset of unremitting headache. A mass was seen, and the neurosurgeon opened her up and concluded immediately there was no point in attempting to remove the mass as it was a very invasive astrocytoma. (Glioblastomas are an aggressive form of astrocytoma that were categorized and graded by the WHO just a year earlier than this woman's appearance.)

Long story short, chemo and radiation therapy was started immediately, which in most all patients resulted in nasty sequelae including loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, weight loss leading to cachexia, and of course, hair loss. She returned to the imaging department a couple of months later wearing a scarf over her now bald head. She was in great spirits. She informed me that her oncologists were surprised she suffered almost no nausea and her appetite remained, although not quite as robust as before treatment. She credited this to co-treatment with an acupuncturist who gave her several concoctions to make a powerful. bitter tea from, plus needle therapy and dietary advice. She said she told the oncologists about this and they said. "oh, that's interesting..."

Aggressive astrocytomas/glioblastomas had a poor survival rate in 1980. My schedule at the hospital changed to swing shift so I could accommodate my college class schedule. I lost track of this sweet, courageous woman who thought out of the box in a way her oncologists found to be perplexing. I found it criminally negligent they didn't immediately ask to discuss the therapy with her acupuncture doctor, and a multi-disciplinary protocol developed. Today there are cancer centers with acupuncturists, oncological naturopaths, and nutritionists on staff. It will be intriguing to see how they incorporate these new findings, if they do at all. After all, when you step into the doors of the Cancer Care Alliance, or the Fred Hutchinson Center, the cash register is still ringing loudly.

It’s my understanding, if it’s not a medically approved protocol for treating whatever disease the MD is dealing with, they are disinterested because their medical license would be revoked. Gotta protect the system.

Maha's avatar

Yes, that's axiomatic, and the result of Pharma lobbyists explaining to Congress how dangerous it is for doctors to try treatment that hasn't been rigorously studied. And look how that was abandoned with the mRNA platform. Millions with lifetime iatrogenesis.

Where's the money in treating cancer with this cheap stuff?

Well, there it is. This won't get any attention by the captured media, and if the HSS pushes the concept, it will derided as "dangerous fake treatments" that delay the "proper pharmaceutical treatments". (Which actually don't exist, except in the balance sheets of Pharma.)

Thank you so much to all those who helping to clear the ugly deck of non effective pharmaceuticals offered for this terrible disease, glioblastoma.

It should be criminal for anyone involved in hiding or destroying or delaying approval of further comprehensive trials/ treatment to the completely safe removal of this brain cancer with humane and now known life saving, restorative, cost effective natural remedies. God bless all those who are facilitating this path forward for all those who are currently so afflicted. ❤️❗️

If someone currently has late-stage glioblastoma, is there any way they could get this type of treatment?

They're both common supplements available online. Amino acid chelated copper is available by itself and resveratrol is available by itself and in numerous combinations with other supplements. In the old days, pre-Flexner, copper was used for curing tuberculosis, an indication that tuberculosis may be caused by a copper deficiency. Other metals; such as zinc, iron, molybdenum, sulfur, cadmium and aluminum; may displace copper, causing a copper deficiency. Taking too much copper can cause problems. Organic spirulina is a good source of copper. Glyphosate herbicide may deplete copper and other essential minerals. Some of the best food sources of copper include Brazil nuts, cashews, walnuts, filberts, peanuts, oatmeal, barley, lentils, etc.

Brazil nuts contain random and high levels of selenium, which can injure the thyroid. My endocrinologist advised me against taking them. But I'm not aware of any such issues with the rest of the foods mentioned!

My endocrinologist said that selenium and iodine paired, at consistent levels each day not erratically as in the modern diet, can facilitate thyroid self-repair, whereas imbalance or erratic intake can lead to it self-harming, essentially was the impression I got.

Would these be taken internally or could it be through IV or some other method?

Richard D's avatar

I think it's implied in the article that these are supplements that can be taken by mouth without the assistance of a medical professional.

Bob's avatar

Do they state what type of copper? or does it matter?

Richard D's avatar

Amino acid chelated is always the best form of mineral supplements because they're more likely to be metabolized and absorbed than basic minerals. Most mineral supplements use basic, non-chelated minerals. Copper sulfate, for example, is unlikely to be metabolized, but amino acid chelated copper is likely to be metabolized

Just buy it Martha. Copper & Resveratrol available in the Uk very easily.

Martha Jane Shoultz's avatar

I wonder if this works when the patient has already had all the chemo, radiation, etc., and they are unable to even take medicine on their own? It looks like this is for pre-surgery treatment.

It can't hurt to try! Good luck!

Over the counter (OTC) so any vitamin shop.

Nadia Nichols's avatar

One of the miracles of the internet is being able to read about breakthroughs like this from reliable sources. Thank you!

Awesome disclosure Nicolas. I am forwarding this to family in need. Thank you.

Autumn's avatar

Wow... Just amazing.

sandy's avatar

Thank you for this important article, Nicholas. See today's article by Children's Health Defense about ACIP committee examination of Pfizer's new mRNA flu shot. An mRNA flu shot should not even be a possibility, considering all of the problems including cancer, caused by the current covid mRNA shots. And remember that in 2021 seasonal flu was added to the covid Health Emergency covered by the Prep Act, so flu shots are also "countermeasures," meaning manufacturers and providers of them are indemnified from liability.

Caffeine reduces the anti inflammatory effect of Resveratrol.

Allie's avatar

How much caffeine is in decaf coffee and decaf green tea? My coffee and tea are decaf’d by Swiss water and the other by CO2, not methylene chloride.

Inisfad's avatar

That’s an amazingly small daily dose…..22.4mg of Resveratrol and 0.00224mg of copper. I wonder what role the copper plays, and whether Urolithin A, which I understand is like Resveratrol on ‘steroids’, would have more of an effect.

Inisfad's avatar

Thank you. That was an extremely interesting read…..more so in that the lower dose of resveratrol/copper was more effective than the higher doses. There was no explanation as to why the smaller dosage would be more effective, but it’s certainly interesting.

John1200's avatar

I believe the copper oxidizes the resveratrol.

franco nocentini's avatar

Thank you, I have been using resveratrol to try to regulate blood pressure changes and frequent symptoms of palpitations such as drumming (if lying down) but I have not seen a change that I could attribute to this supplement, however I am truly amazed by the result you reported.

franco nocentini's avatar

I should point out that I used approximately 250 mg per day, this is the dose of 1 capsule, while here cancer is treated with 5.6 mg/day, can you confirm the dose in the article?

2XOH's avatar

Whoa! Very promising!

Andi Pigott Martin's avatar

This is fascinating! 😃

TRM's avatar

This is great news. Thanks for including the dosage in your report.

AlmostLastRepublicaninSeattle's avatar

Question: How do you take 5.6 mg? Is that a misprint? Should it be grams?

Everything is 1,000 mg, or did they do powder? Thanks for info. My brain can’t do this today. 🤪 Thanks!
