Someone emailed me and asked for some suggestions for early on. As you know I dont give advice but I have listed out the things I did which I believe helped me (from a 4-year survivor of stage 4 inoperable pancreatic cancer) ❤️ I update this post from time to time with other things I remember.
1. Remember to LAUGH. My kids and I used to spend 10 minutes a day just watching hilarious cat videos or bloopers on youtube while cuddled up together. In her book Radical Remission, kelly Turner notes that people who get cancer have usually had some depression or sadness. Its important to dispel this!
2. make happy plans for the future. Whether its a family event, a concert or anything. Make plans and visualise them happening.
3. Keep walking and exercising: Movement is essential to keep your lymphatic system operating.
4. Get all the wind out! Exercise helps with this, and I also found that tapping my upper chest area helped.
5. Avoid alcohol completely. Alcohol triggers pancreatitis.
6. Avoid spicy/hot food. I found this triggers pancreatitis.
7. avoid sugar but dont stress about grains - sugar only made pain worse as makes cancer worse. Even if you dont believe this, there is no upside in sugar so why eat it https://youtu.be/0hQLhhugiEU
8. I Avoided opioids and used alternative methods of pain relief. Research suggests opioids are implicated in cancer growth.

Opioids made pain worse for me the next time and oramorph is full of sugar. (Love infrared heat for pain relief, good diet stops you having pain in first place in my experience) ibuprofen shows some anti-cancer effect so I used ibuprofen if i had to - but my main approach was eliminate the causes of pain. I investigated C*D oil.
9. Avoided constricting my chest. For me, this meant not wearing a bra! 🥥 🥥
10. no heavy lifting even now: will cause chest pain.
11. i sleep on my right-hand side (RHS). I found this helpful, based on my understanding of pancreatic drainage. The standard recommendation for humans is sleep on your left hand side.
12. in the early days i slept at a 45° angle. I also found this helpful for drainage and pain. In the early days, I slept propped up like this with lots of pillows. Though i did not sleep a lot!
13. Now i would get prescribed Creon as early as possible. Research the work of Nicholas Gonzalez, who was inspired by long-term survivor William Donald Kelley. Creon is magic!
14. If you are researching options before a formal diagnosis, look into mistletoe injections with a qualified practitioner. I researched this approach myself and did it and made a video about it. https://youtu.be/0Ket-dYv8BY
15. I Eat whole foods. Ideally, choose organic or homegrown food wherever possible. Eat nothing processed or out of a packet.
16. I researched diet. I researched other inoperable stage 4 pancreatic cancer survivors and found only people who had used a wfpb diet. I made a video about them here. I would be very interested to hear of other long term survivors and what they ate. https://rumble.com/v6urn6h-the-great-8-long-term-survivors-who-used-a-plant-based-diet-against-their-s.html
17. I Drink clean water. I didnt do this for a long time and CANNOT believe what was in my tap water. Never again. Just try drinking mineral water for 2 weeks and see what a difference it makes.
18. I use an infrared heat lamp for pain and also for healing in its own right. This became part of my own routine front and back and i still love it and do it daily.
19. I Researched a metabolic approach and Jane McLelland. However I do not believe in doing this long term with off labels as they have unintended consequences. Dont start a metabolic approach with pills unless and until you have seriously cleaned up diet and have done a PHD level amount of research.
20. Propranolol from my GP for situational based anxiety has amazing anti cancer research and reduces cortisol and adrenaline. All helped!
21. Activated Charcoal has helped me reduce pancreatitis style pain. I take this with every meal.
I’m sharing these things because, four years after being diagnosed with stage 4 inoperable pancreatic cancer, I’m still here. ❤️
Everyone’s situation is different, and these are my personal experiences rather than a substitute for medical advice.
Wishing you all well. Never give up hope. Beating this IS possible. ❤️ ###
