  1. This story brought tears to my eyes. It touched me personally because glioblastoma took my father's life many years ago. The gamma knife was being introduced at the time and he wasn't eligible for it. I am so happy for this beautiful family!

  2. My Dad lived less than 4 months after his diagnosis of Glioblastoma and then 4 years later my father in law also found out he had Glioblastoma as well…. He lived about a month longer than my Dad. Some live longer than 6 months… but few do. This is miraculous!

  3. I really wish the news would use these stories as an opportunity to share what can help practically. Check out Dr. Seyfried. He specifically came up with a protocol for those with glioblastoma and it has been extended to other diseases and cancers, as well. It is a metabolic protocol and requires you to use therapeutic ketosis (a metabolic state that shift your body from sugar burning to fat burning). While he has a specific protocol that involves other things, many have also used both extended fasting a ketogenic diet (a diet that keeps you in ketosis), and exogenous ketones to keep the body in a high level of ketosis. Ketones are the bodies preferred fuel and are much cleaner than glucose. Check out the information.
