Hi, applaud you for hanging in there for so long and also for making the decision to stop all medications if they weren't helping. I will try to stay off my soap box but it sounds like most of your symptoms could be helped or corrected by vitamins and minerals which is actually the root cause of a majority of health problems. Unfortunately there isn't as much money in those treatments. Most people are deficient in order of Importance D3, Magnesium, Zinc, Potassium and Omega 3 fatty acids. I have spent considerable time the past 17 years on health/nutrition and your story is becoming more common unfortunately. If you don't mind I am going to tell you what I would do given these symptoms and give a reference for additional info. I would stop eating all grains, sugar/carbs except those from vegetables and anything with seed oils in it. Stick with grass fed/finshed red meat, organic chicken/pasture raised chicken eggs, salmon/cod from Alaskan waters, vegetables especially cruciferous and sautéed in coconut,olive or avocado oil. I would take 50, 000 iu's a day of D3 and enough K2/Mk7 to go with it, 300 to 400 mg of magnesium glycinate, 30-50mg of zinc picolinate and the proper amount of copper to go with it which would be 3-5 mg (10-1 ratio) and you need 4700 mg of potassium a day. You can deduct from these amounts if you can reasonably estimate how much your getting from your diet. The D3 doesn't work/without the K2 or Magnesium or Zinc and they don't work without the D3. D3 is fat soluble so needs to be taken with food. You can take zinc or Magnesium with it but not both. Take the other at a seperate time. I would also begin intermittent fasting asap for a 16 to 18 hour fast each day building up to be able to do a 3/5/7 day fast eventually. Building up your immune system by replenishing your nutrients and avoiding the root cause being toxic food. On Facebook look up Dr Berg for info/videos on vitamins/ minerals and what the do for the body and what symptoms you have if deficient. On YouTube type in amazing benefits of fasting and it should be a Indian doctor wearing a head cap/bandana with glasses. Great info on fasting.

If I read your message correctly, you say to take 50,000 (fifty thousand) International Units (IU) of Vitamin D3 per day?
From what Ive read and been told by my GP, the
most commonly Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for VD3 is 4,000 IU/day. From what I've read and heard, VD3 can be toxic if taken at that level for sustained periods.

Fasting: You don't mention any initial criteria to determine whether fasting for such durations is safe. I'd want to get a doc's opinion before starving myself for up to a week's time on a regular basis. Does someone with diabetes want to stop feeding for such lengthy periods?

@trfire I do agree with addressing vitamin and mineral deficiencies. But before
supplementing - best to have tests to see what is actually deficient otherwise at best you’re peeing expensive pee (quote unquote by my oncologist).

I went through extensive stage 4 appendix cancer treatments without supplements by eating healthily at least 80% of the time. I couldn’t face any red meat so ate chicken, fish and seafood.

When I asked my oncologist what I could/should take to help my body he said nothing my bloods are excellent.
