My Cancer Story

Artemisia Annua
Started in early Oct 2020, combined with Budwig Protocol, for cancer.
Adding 1 tsp AA to my fresh pressed juice twice a day to start.
Feeling improvement overall in well being after a couple weeks.
Encouraged, I continue and typical symptoms; jabs, headaches, back-ache; eased.
After about a month I am starting to have stomach pains that I hadn't before.
Stopped AA and after a few days stomach pains ease.
Discouraged, I look for ways to ingest without stomach issues.
Try adding AA to gel-caps.  Stomach said...really?!?  Hahaha!
Think maybe if I could reduce stomach acid gel-caps would slip through to colon.
Start taking 1/4 tsp of baking soda in water prior to taking gel-caps with AA.
This seems to be effective in that respect, but I have had digestion issues prior with BS.
Looks to be just a band-aid as after a while just feeling icky stomach wise with AA and BS.
Bright side is that I haven't had the typical regression after a period of cheating on BP diet.
Looking for an alternative to get AA into me as I am encouraged with it's posibilities.
Early December 2020 it hits me.  If it can't go in the front door....
I have done hundreds of coffee enemas over the past 5 years.  Just add AA?
Start adding 1 tbl of AA to the 2 tbl of coffee to make 1 quart for enema.
I use a 5-cup drip coffee maker with a regular coffee filter, add water to make 1 quart.
Cool down until warm to the touch or at typical internal body temp, 98.6 degrees.
Pour 8 ounces of fluid in pail for first enema.  This stimulates the system and moves bowel.
Retain for 10 minutes, or more depending on how long it takes to get all in.
Doing the remaining 24 ounces in the second anema, as now I should have open colon.
Retain for 15 minutes, or more depending on how long it takes to get in.
(note: these times will be adjusted later on, 03/2021)
Lot of chatter about arte on the boards, but nobody doing it like this as yet, or admitting so.
Entering the "murderer's row" time period for Budwig protocol temptation, X-Mas/NY/SB.
I usually have a significant regression in spring after cheating over the holidays.
Been doing enema daily when possible, after morning BM.
Reduce Budwig to 1 serving per day in the AM as my pants are getting tight.
Exit said time period without significant regression.  Encouraged, decide to double-down.
In March of 2021, I double the AA to 2 tbl with 2 tbl coffee to make 1 quart.
Increase first session with 8 ounces anema to 15 minutes retention.
Increase second session to 30 minutes retention, first 15 minutes with hips elevated.
Due to many weekends away, schedule was mostly 4/5 days on and 2/3 days off through July.
Have been experiencing what seems to be Herxheimer Reaction with the larger dose.
Feeling fantastic, no symptoms even though diet has been very un-Budwig on weekends.
Have been purposely pushing the envelop to see how far I can go, even sucking suds.
Continuing to maintain a proper plant based "cancer" diet during the week.
After 4th of July weekend ran out of AA, decided to discontinue to see if symptoms return.
Late Sept of 2021, I start feeling the jabs again, and the upper back ache.  No headache yet.
I do get occasional headaches, but I haven't had THAT headache in a looong time.
October 4, 2021 I submit a sample to Navarro.  Last test was +51.8 from Oct 2019
Original Navarro test Oct 2015 was 53.0, for reference.
I receive 1lb of AA from HHS and restart protocol as previous first week of Oct.
First week of Nov the jabs and aches are gone, headache never did occur :)
Got Navarro results from 10/04/21 sample, +51.4 (MY LOWEST TEST NUMBER EVER)
Still positive, meaning cancer present but I wouldn't know if I didn't know.
This is 2 months after early July, when I was without symptoms and feeling great.
This is after I had felt the return of symptoms which triggered the test.
This means my Navarro number in July had to have been lower yet.  Regret not testing then.
So, even after a 6 month period of massive cheating on Budwig diet I have IMPROVED.
This, even though I am without AA from early July to early Oct.
This is BIG.  Wonder where I would be if I were to strictly adhere to BP diet.
But, the larger purpose of this exercize is to see if the AA will overcome a poor diet regimen.
From previous experience I know I would be at least 52.2, or dead, after such debauchery.
AA supply runs out Thanksgiving 2021 and cannot reorder from HHS as they are OOS.
Finally receive a different brand of AA from The Herb Source 12/10/21, hope it is as good.
Back on protocol, considering an increase of AA ratio.
Took off for Christmas, 12/22 - 12/30 due to weather delaying return home.
Keeping same ratio of 2 tbl AA and 2 tbl coffee for now as it seems to be working well.
On 1/13/2022, I realize that the restiction on my esophagus was finally gone after 6 years.
It is so nice to be able to swallow food without it getting stuck in my throat.
Now completely symptom free and feel great, must submit another Navarro test soon.
My thought is that the AA is killing the most cancerous cells while Budwig heals the rest.
Have been sharing my results with other members of support groups.
Several are going to try my protocol to see if it has similar results with varying cancers.
01/27/22, when I opened the bag of AA from THS I noticed that the dust wasn't irritating.
The original AA had a more "mediciney" tone to it.  Was very bitter and strong in the nasal.
I recently started having mild back "pain" or tightening in the back and occasional flank pain.
There are many possible reasons for back issues so not going to get hysterical.
But, back pain has been a long time symptom that I have dealt with.
Questioning the efficacy of the newer AA powder from The Herb Source.
Ordered another brand from NuHerbs to see if it it like the first or second type.
01/31/22, the new AA from NuHerbs has arrived and is more like the THS than the HHS.
The NuHerbs has a more granular look to it and it seems to "melt" better when brewed.
I am going to start enemas with the newest version and try oral with the THS powder.
Being the THS powder isn't as irritating maybe the stomach will tolerate it.
This way I can hit it from both ends, enema in the AM and 1 tsp with juice at lunch time.
Am beginning to wonder if HolisHerbSol was selling Absinthium labeled as Annua.
Ordered a pound of Artemisia Absinthium just to see if it is the same as HHS arte.
Absinthium arrived on 02/04/22 and confirmed my suspicions.   
I may have been using Artemisia Absinthium in the beginning.  Am going 50/50 from now on.
Wishing I had saved a little bit of that early arte from HHS to compare to this Absinthium.
Both have artemisinin, but I feel the Absinthium may have other benefits that Annua doesn't.
And perhaps vice-versa as I haven't had any major setbacks other than occasional back pain.
Submitted urine sample to Navarro on 02/09/22, back pains have ceased.
02/11/22  I am feeling stomach pains again so going to cease oral annua.
Holy shit.  The original supplier of my arte, HHS, is showing back in stock, 02/16/22.
Ordered 5 pounds.  I have got to get to the bottom of this.  Hope it is the same.
02/18/22 I thought I might have felt a tinge of that right lung jab a couple times.  Very faint?
All of a sudden my stool has firmed up after over a year of shittin like a goose.  Turds!
Powder arrived from HHS but they sent the wrong powder.  No idea what, returning for new.
Have definitely been getting some sharp jabs in the right chest again.  Questioning potency.
02/28 am going to 2 heaping tbl of annua (dif man'f) and 1 heaping tbl of absinthium, +50%.
Got HCG result on 03/08, 52.2, I felt it would be increased but surprised it was that high.  
The HHS arte I was using early on seems to have something that these others don't.  
Will see how the increase in dose does.  I feel like I am better than I was a month ago.
03/09, going back to twice daily FO/CC to get back on track.
03/26, the increased dosage of AA seemd to be working as jabs and back pains are gone.
The 2 a day FO/CC might also have been a factor.  I believe AA and FO/CC are complimentary.
04/02, long weekend with a lot of food and drink.  Have typical flank pain after.
But haven't had back pain or jabs as yet.  Getting sinus-like headaches tho.
Flank pain, right side, hasn't subsided as of 04/28.  
Beginning to think the Absinthium may be irritating kidney so going to take a week off to see.
As of 05/04 it seems to be getting better.  Only occasional irritation.
Still feeling flank pain on occasion as of 05/13 so going to go back on AA protocol w/increase.
Hmmm, 05/14, flank pain is gone.   Still gone, next day.  And the next.
05/26, no headache at all.  It's back next day, damn.  Gone again.  Seems sporadic.
06/12/22 dandelion powder arrives, doing 3 heaping tbl annua and 1 tbl dandelion.
06/22/22 realize I haven't had that sinus type headache for at least a week.
As of 07/10 still no headaches.  Ran out of AA.  Tried to order from the ebay dude and he out.
Ordered 1KG from Box Nutra.  Arrives on 07/23.  Same brown color as the HHS stuff I returned.
What to do?  I will likely continue with the brown AA at 6 lvl tbl as am uncertain to potency.
This until I can find some that hasn't been tampered with.  Microbes?
I have discontinued the dandelion in the enema with the brown AA to see how strong.
08/13/22 haven't had a symptom of any kind in over a month and a half, going 5/2 days on/off
08/26 running out os annua.  Enought to get to Thu and then we wait.
Been feeling some tingling in the back.  Hmm.  Been misbehavin' a bit last couple months.
09/02 brown annua arrives from HHS.  Gonna go back to every day for a bit.
09/09/2022 lost my best friend, Ozzy.  Hurts....
09/11 feeling occcasional symptoms inline with early days, wondering about brown annua
09/28 been totally deviant on diet and suds since Ozzy passed.  Gonna put this to the test.
10/24/22 wondering if annua enemas are irritating kidneys.  Get cramps in thighs?
11/01/22 been feeling good so gonna drop to 4 tbl annua and try 3 days a week for a bit.
Still cheating  on diet with regularity.  Wondering if I have gone too far.
As of 11/15 wondering if headaches I been getting are due to spine/neck, or cancer.
Think I am going to increase to 5 tbl, maybe 5 days just in case.
So, have been doing 5 tbl, 3 days a week.  New flax oil from P/P is nasty tasting, 02/23
Going to do just the AA anemas and forego Budwig for a while to see what happens.
Blitzed enemas for a couple weeks to start non-budwig phase.
Back on 3 days a week, 5 tbl per, as of 03/24.  Have had zero symptoms for some time.
Been feeling (04/13/23) jabs in the upper right chest.  Could be from smokin' buds of late.
Just in case gonna go 5 days on.  Been thinking of adding dandelion to the annua.
Will keep routine the same otherwise.  Been eating poorly and drinking since Ozzy died.
As of 04/20 I have been getting backaches reminiscent of a year or so ago.  
Also have had right chest jabs a few times.  Been smoking a lot of bud of late so not sure.
Have a 5lb bag of annua coming and will blitz 5 days minimum and add dandelion, 5/1 tbls.
Haven't eaten FO/CC since the nasty flax oil I got last time from Puritan's.  
Will try the annua/dandelion only and keep everything else the same to see what happens.
The FO/CC might be more important than I thought, although it is the reason I am alive now.
My diet and drinking and smoking aren't exactly helping, but I am in a bad place emotionally.
 Going all in on the AA it looks like.
Did 5 days a week, 5 tbl AA, 2 tbl coffee, 1 tbl dandelion until end of June.
Haven't felt a single symptom since and have gone to once a week for maintenance.
Navarro is still not doing HCG testing.  I would really like to have one just to see.
Broke a couple ribs trying to climb into a truck, 09/15/23.
Only mentioning it because otherwise nobody will ever know, ha.
Haven't been able to do weekly because of sore ribs for over a month now.
