Daily Routine Revamp

Thank you friends, for your patience; I finally updated my Daily Routine on the blog! People ask me, quite often, what my supplements are, what I dose, how often, the reasoning, the effects, etc. and it's such an exhaustive schedule that I've been working on this for a few weeks. Maybe even months, it blurs. 

In our house we have more supplements than food :)

I've hesitated about naming labels, and giving all of this information because obviously, I'm not a doctor, or a nutritionist. I paid a lot for most of my information, for example my spendy nutritionist, and I feel bad bypassing professionals that I respect. I realize it may interfere with their livelihood. I also don't want to endorse a specific brand, and in the past, I felt that naming my brands in turn was endorsing. But whatever, I've done so much freaking research that I might as well share and save my tumor buddies the trouble. This brain tumor life is incredibly expensive. This isn't a hobby. This isn't a business. This is our lives - it's literally about surviving - and if I can help people, I'm going to do it.

Here's the exact page copied below, with the disclaimer and all. Please let me know if you have any questions, or comments. The scheduling is based directly around my chlorotoxin, that's why it's all timed out. Some of the pills are specifically dosed apart, and similarly, together for maximum efficacy. Others are taken in the morning or around noon because they induce energy, and have to work out of my system so I can sleep at night. Remember that many of these supplements are based on my regular blood work, so don't take it as a list of what you should personally do (although *wink wink* a lot of it is also great generic tumor fighting stuff). This information is just for you to see my schedule.

Daily Routine

I work directly with a nutritionist who monitors my blood levels which dictates the supplements on my list. I have added a couple, or upped my doses, in some cases, but I continue to work with accredited individuals to keep me safe and healthy. I do not recommend following my protocol because your body may be deficient or have excesses which are different than mine. You need to do a unique protocol based on your individual bodily needs. If you want to use my nutritionist, please see the tab titled: My Doctors.

With that being said, I follow this protocol Monday-Friday. On weekends, or on travel days, I do a modified version since I'm often not home and won't have my blender, and can't carry all the refrigerated powders/pills etc. I figure that doing this protocol 71% of the time is pretty damn good. When you start scrolling down you might be overwhelmed, but it's actually a great routine. I'm used to it now, and the scheduling makes it easy to go about my day. It becomes automatic. Best of all, it's one helluva tumor killing concoction!

Please note that this schedule will change and adjust as new blood work is evaluated every three months.

Hard Work & Healthy Distractions

Danny is going to kill me. I was supposed to tell my friends at the retirement home that I need to take a couple of weeks off from volunteering. Dan's worried that I'm overdoing it, and he wants me to focus on getting healthy. He believes that I need to focus solely on my new protocol, but while I was painting Margaret, Elizabeth, and Ruth's nails, I realized I just can't walk away. These wonderful women are so fun to be around. They keep me laughing, or at other times, we're just quiet. Volunteering feels like the only time that I'm not focusing on just me. It's wonderful helping someone with their walker, or opening a door. I love serving them juice, or painting their nails. They give me a reason to get out of the house every Tuesday morning, whether it's sunny or pouring rain. I'm afraid, that if I can't volunteer, I'll get depressed. I'm pretty terrified these days, and I need distractions. I need to help others. I need my life to not be just about me.





Yesterday was my first high dose vitamin C treatment. On Thursday, I'll return for IV curcumin and resveratrol. I'm going to be alternating those two IVs twice a week for quite some time. Unfortunately, the treatments are not covered by insurance. So, thank you to everyone who has donated money to help heal me! Thank you to Matt & AJ for Movember For Jess, and to those who have donated to the Islanders Bank account in Friday Harbor. Of course, thank you for the girls who created, and maintained the Hope for Jess website of my art work. Thank you to everyone who donated to any of the above fundraisers. You guys are AWESOME!! When it comes to medical care, hospitals are wonderful about payment plans, if need be, but when it comes to "alternative" medicine, you have to pay upfront. So, the money that has been donated to me in the past, has been incredibly helpful. I've used some to pay current medical bills, but then I got smart, and realized I needed to bank the donations for any kind of uncovered care. Because of your amazing donations, I'm getting full body, synergistic care that is not only healing my body, but also, directly targeting my cancer cells with a barrage of weapons. So, truly, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Apparently, the high dose vitamin C, curcumin, and resveratrol IVs are synergistic with my low doses of artemisinin. They should all work together, along with my diet and supplements which have grown exponentially (shark liver oil, borage seed oil, fish oil, maitake, shiitake, lions mane, aloe vera jelly, boswellia, CoQ10, EGCG, D3 - I'm probably forgetting a couple) - and last but not least, it should all work with the sulforaphane chemo drink. I haven't been able to get started on the chemo drink, yet, unfortunately. I've ordered a yogurt maker, which should cook my chemo drink at exactly 100-110 degrees for several hours. It even has little cups, that sit on a tray. I'm pretty excited about it - the little cups on the tray will make it so that I can do a week's worth of drinks in one batch. Woop woop!! The shipment should arrive by the end of the week. Once that arrives, Hermie is going to FREAK. I'm pumped!!

Well.....I, mean, I'm pumped, and completely terrified. It's tough to keep my chin up and plow through everything, but I know that giving up would be ridiculous. I need to stay calm, ignore statistics about my cancer and effectiveness of the various treatments (30% success rate for one, 20% for another, etc.). I have to believe that these things that I'm doing are going to work together and heal my body. To put this much effort into living is risky because I would hate to be disappointed, but, of course, that's a horrible attitude to have. It's just not acceptable. That's not a winner's attitude. Maybe I need to do more deep breathing or something. Part of it could be that I feel disjointed from Hermie lately, I can't quite tell what's happening up there. I worry that he's morphing, which does tend to happen. Cancer cells don't like to die, and when they come into contact with things that threaten their livelihood, they like to adjust, change their dynamics and progress, so that the treatments are rendered ineffective. To outsmart the Hermies of this world, we have to keep the full frontal attack. It's exhausting, but it's the only way to win.
