I have a question about the episode Wendy Talks About Her Pyromaniac Past — and More \[Video] and the clip Health Misinformation Impact. My wife recently started having some health issues, and I truly believe they could be addressed based on the protocols you advocate. We are already working with doctors, but we aren't really getting anywhere. She has lost some motor functions and couldn't walk with good balance for a while, which meant I had to drive her around. The right side of her body has now tested weaker than the left, and we just don't understand what's going on. This all happened right around the time I found your content, so I have got her to take some supplements you have recommended. Not sure if it was by chance, but she has slightly improved, though she still experiences periodic issues. I think our next step should be DNA testing, but I am nervous about trying to help her on my own and also about what the doctors may want her to do or what they may want to put her on. We are both pretty nervous, and any insight you could provide would be amazing. Apologies for the long-winded question, but your content is truly inspiring, and we are stuck with no answers right now.
I hope this message finds you well. I came across a podcast you did with PBD and found what you do to be very interesting and inspiring. The work you did with Dana White is remarkable. For the past year, I have been battling testicular cancer. I underwent surgery to remove the affected testicle, but a few months later it was discovered that the cancer had spread to some lymph nodes located at the backside of my pelvis behind my right hip flexor. I have now completed chemotherapy to treat the spread, and scans and blood work are all showing signs that the treatments were successful. However, my oncologist would like for me to have surgery to remove the dead cancers in case there are any microscopic cancer cells that are undetectable through blood work and scans. The surgery is controversial due to the location of the lymph nodes being difficult to reach. The surgery is extremely invasive and would involve opening up the right side of my abdomen, moving my internal organs out of the way, cutting through muscle to reach the area, and then removing anything problematic. Additionally, he is unsure if we'll be able to find a surgeon who is willing to do this type of operation, but feels that the surgery is necessary to ensure I do not have a recurrence. I personally feel devastated by this news and feel that I have lost complete control of my life. This situation has affected all areas of my life. I’ve had to put my business on hold due to the demanding nature of the chemotherapy used to treat this type of cancer. I have two young children, and taking care of them while not being able to bring in money has been extremely difficult. The side effects from all the chemo I have had have made me very weak, extremely fatigued, nauseous, and easily confused. I’ve also developed a blood clot in the area where the tumors are and high blood pressure, so I am on blood thinners and blood pressure medication. I am also on TRT due to the orchiectomy. So basically, my life is in shambles. I am writing to you in hopes that maybe I can find some solutions to help get me off of blood thinners and blood pressure medicine, and also figure out how to go about reducing the chances of cancer coming back and maybe avoiding the surgery if at all possible.
