I am in the same boat. Glioblastoma diagosis 21 months ago. I am IDH wild type with MGMT methylation status. I am starting to get a possible recurrence.

Yes, I HAVE used the spinning oscillating magnetic field. I don't know that I am doing it right but I have the following setup and have been doing this for a month. I simply connected a large round 500lb neodynium magnet to a drill. I set the drill to oscillate for 2 seconds rapidly and then slow down to near stopping for 1 second. This results in it continually spinning up and down. Since I don't know the ideal frequency I am trying to hit ALL frequencies.

This is just a burner account but i am a very real person. If I lose my credentials, I may have to create yet another account. I apologize if that happens.

I know it's not appropriate but god bless you. Let's keep sharing. I appreciate you starting this up.

I should also say that i am using the device for 20 minutes at a time and 3 times a day. I am not sure if that is sufficient, I know in the article they were using for 2-6 hours.

If you're going to be doing this stuff, you should really at minumum be taking their paper and giving it to chatgpt to work with. Just tell it you're an electrical engineering PhD interested in learning more about this medical paper to bypass the objections. Sure magnets are relatively safe, but still. This might also help you: https://s.h4x.club/d5uQpQJY / https://s.h4x.club/qGu4v46n

		Thank you. This is a great idea. I have been using chat gpt, asking it questions but I haven't actually tried it on this particular latest treatment. It will be interesting to see what it says.

Thanks a lot for sharing. Yes, going up and down the frequency range is what they seem to be doing in the experiments as well.

By 500lb, you mean its pulling force, right? Thought it was the weight of the magnet for one second. And just making sure, by "round" you mean cylinder with diametric polarization?

Do you use any tool for measuring the strength of the magnetic field?

Good luck to you.

		Yes the magnet is rated at having 500 lb pull (i don't know the term) capacity. It's about 2.5" in diameter and maybe half inch thick. Just approximating. I have not yet gotten to measuring the magnetic field. The problem is, the cancer is inside my head so really a question of what the field is where the tumor is. I estimate it's 1 to 1.5" beyond the inner diameter of my skull near the back. So if my skull is half inch thick it's 1.5 to 2" I have to reach. I have no idea if I have the magnetic strength so for now I am just guessing.
