I'm really sorry to hear that. Since you're asking for moonshots and weird things to try, here's something they can ask their doctor about:

> Case reports involving glioblastoma patients using water-only fasting regimens in conjunction with other forms of cancer treatment have reported favorable outcomes with respect to tumor growth https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2874558/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5884883/

From https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6836141/

I have a relative with glioblastoma who could see his granddaughter born if he extends his life a while. Thanks a lot for sharing!

		You're welcome. I read a lot about fasting and I have a lot of experience with it. It's helped me, personally, heal many things (but not all of them -- it's good to have low expectations.) In any case, it's a mind-expanding experience to go without food for a while, regardless of the outcome.

		Please Google Thomas Seyfried and William Makis. The latter is controversial—if he’s not completely fraudulent and making things up, he might be onto something. He’s sharing emails from numerous cancer patients who claim to have healed using these two particular molecules.

Exercise can supposedly help outcomes for some types of cancer—-I wonder whether the mechanism is similar to that of fasting. The supposed mechanism AIUI is that exercise makes less glucose available to the tumor. Podcast with more info here: https://overcast.fm/+6j6rLbfGM

There was an episode from “diary of a ceo” (don’t let the title fool you) where a scientist was making similar remarks:

I wouldn’t usually post these kind of things, but since OP is asking for moonshots i’ll take a chance.

Best of luck to your friend!

		You still shouldn’t post that kind of thing. Especially not that fraudulent bullshitter host.

I'm one of those stubborn types that will refuse all medical treatments, lots of fasting is my current go to strategy if some tumor gets out of control.

		steve jobs and many others tried things like that. if it makes you feel good then sure, but that alone will kill you faster when a tumor(s) gets out of control.
