• Chinese Herbs (prescription pending)
• Supplements- Vitamin B, C, D, L-Lysine, Curcumin, sodium selenite, paw paw, cayenne pepper w/garlic, green tea extract, etc.
• Ketogenic diet since appx. June 2016

What Dr. Chang recommends adding:

Drugs:

• Chloroquine; off-label malaria medicine

Supplements

• Ruta 6

• Coriolus PSP capsule - 1 capsule 3x/day

• Scorpion Venom (1/4cc @ 3 times/day)
     - Escozine (difficult to get in USA)
     - Dr. Connealy _ http://cfnmedicine.com

• Add MCT oil; ie coconut oil extract (unless already in ketogenic ketosis)

• Herpes-6
      - Add Colloidal Silver to her diet

What do you guys think about how we see if we should add any of these?  Some are very difficult to get (Scorpion Venom).  Does anyone have any advice / experiences in using these supplements that can comment?

Thanks
Winston

  1. I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter - what a young age.

    I would download Stephen's spreadsheet on supplements and drugs where he rates them and also posts important information about interactions as I found that the most helpful thing to date to work through all the information out there.

    2. Hi Patricia, this spreadsheet is in the Brain Tumor Library, a folder I keep on my Google Drive account. I can share this with you if you send me an email. My email address is on the User Information page at the top of this blog.

  2. Hi! I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter. My husband has been diagnosed with stage IV gastric cancer, and he's having chemo, immunotherapy and a big cocktail (that's why I read this thread). He has been on escorpion venom since October 2016. I buy it to life escozul (@lifescozul on FB, servicios@lifescozulcuba.com for email contact). I did a lot of research before buying it. I live in Mexico City but we have a vacation house in San Antonio, so they have send it me a package there. I wish the complete recovery for your daughter. Jimena
