Q: (L) We have a kind of a pressing question about one of our members, NewEngland Seeker. He is currently being treated for a melanoma. And he has been doing - as far as we can see - all the absolute right things with the IV therapies and so on.
And yet it seems that there is something that's causing his condition to be a little more aggressive than it ought to be, considering all he's doing. Do you have any suggestions for him that might help?
A: Ask.
Q: (L) Okay. He's been doing IV therapy with vitamin C and he asked if this was a problem or a help.
A: Better to take slightly higher doses of liposomal than high doses of IV C.
Q: (L) Why is that?
A: Vitamin C in high doses can take the place of sugar in some systems.
Q: (L) Okay. If he's gonna take slightly higher doses of liposomal, what would that slightly higher dose be?
A: 5 to 10 daily or one gram every hour during infusion.
Q: (L) When you say 5 to 10, you mean grams?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) So, all right. Anything else?
(Joe) So, infusions aren't a good idea?
A: No.
Q: (Joe) So switch to liposomal five to ten grams a day.
A: Oral.
Q: (L) Okay. Anything else?
A: Your hyperbaric therapy is beneficial too. 90 minutes daily.
Q: (L) Would 90 minutes daily be good for Pierre too?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) Anything else?
A: He has most other aspects right but an increase of vitamin D and K is helpful. Time restricted eating also.
Q: (Gaby) Vitamin D will be like 30,000 daily?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) NewEngland Seeker, have you been doing any time restricted eating?
(Joe) Intermittent fasting?
(NewEngland Seeker) I have been decreasing the calories and slowly losing weight. Does that qualify?
(L) No.
(Joe) It's intermittent.
(NewEngland Seeker) So, I'm starting to do fasting on Sundays.
(L) No, that's not the idea either. I posted a video about it, probably the best video on it. And what thread did I put it in?
I have been fasting for 18-20 hrs. every day, for the past 30 days. I also done a few 24hrs. fasts here and there (in that same period) At the moment my main goal is to lose weight. So far I lost close to 20lbs. The only thing I drink is water, sometimes green tea or coffee (coffee only when...

(Joe) Do a search for intermittent fasting.
(Gaby) I think it was intermittent fasting.
(L) Well, did I put it in the fasting thread? Well, we’ll share the link. But basically, you're not really fasting on any whole day. You're cutting your eating time to a narrow window and there's specific reasons for it. It's all explained in the video. You're cutting your window of eating down, but during that window, you basically eat everything you want and need, fill up, you know, get full, whatever. And you can have two meals, one at the beginning of the window and one just towards the end of the window and he explains everything.
(Andromeda) And it's eight hours, right?
(Joe) It's ideally eight hours at least. So basically, for example, you would have breakfast at 10 o'clock in the morning or 8 o'clock, whatever, and eight hours after that is your last meal, or you finished your last meal eight hours after. So you're eating in an eight hour window. So say it's at 10 o'clock in the morning, you have your breakfast, then at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, you have your big meal. And you can have a big breakfast...
(L) That's it.
(Joe) And that's it. And then nothing after that except water from 4 o'clock in the afternoon until the next morning. So you're giving yourself 16 hours of no eating, which allows your system to kinda like, do all sorts of wonderful magical things and cure itself.
(NewEngland Seeker) Yeah. You know, the surprising thing is that's what I have been doing for years. Except I have one snack just before I go to bed. So it's like I just have to cut the snack.
(L) Yeah, because the snack throws you completely out of the fasted state.
(Joe) And just to be clear, if you can do it in a window of six hours, it's even better.
(NewEngland Seeker) The one thing that has changed quite a bit is the... what we call the GKI index. I used to be in the teens, so now I'm operating in the high level of ketosis - therapeutic ketosis. So that changed dramatically since the infusion started.
(L) I don't think you need to worry so much about strict ketosis. But what you do need to worry about is not eating anything that your body is sensitive to. So if you haven't had any tests done on food sensitivities, have those done and then eat strictly within that range of foods that are permissible. That's kind of the main thing. But I would say eat, you know, something balanced. And you will need some carbs, and for me, I found that the best carb is rice that has been really washed before cooking.
(NewEngland Seeker) Yes. Very very close to what I am doing or have been doing for quite some time. What I mentioned about the change of metabolism, it has occurred without change in diet.
(L) Okay. Yeah. Okay. So let's see what happens if you... is there anything else for NewEngland Seeker on this topic?
(Joe) What about hyperbaric?
(L) Do you have access to a hyperbaric treatment?
(NewEngland Seeker) Yes I do. Now, is there a point to bring up any difference between exercising with oxygen versus the hyperbaric?
(L) Okay. What's the difference between exercising with oxygen and hyperbaric?
A: Pressure forces the oxygen deeper into the tissues.
Q: (Joe) Yeah. We know that. It's good to do oxygen if that's all you have, but the hyperbaric really gets the oxygen with the pressure. You don't get the pressure just with the exercise and the oxygen.
(NewEngland Seeker) The source I have only goes to 1.3 or roughly four and a half pounds of extra pressure. Would 90 minutes be sufficient for that?
(L) Yes. Probably the higher the pressure you can get, the better it is and the faster it forces. If you could get access to a 1.5 chamber, that would be better.
(Joe) You have a 1.3 chamber?
(NewEngland Seeker) The naturopath has the hyperbaric chamber and I just don't have room in the small house we live in. That's the limitation.
(Joe) Can you do it every day?
(NewEngland Seeker) Five days a week. They're closed on the weekends.
(L) Well, it would probably be worth it considering the cost that they would charge you, to invest in getting one and getting a 1.5. I mean, I know you just said that you don't have the space for it, but under the circumstances, making the space... and if it's a soft side chamber, you know, it kind of collapses and doesn't take up a lot of space and you can push it out of the way. But anyway, think about it. Okay?
(NewEngland Seeker) Well thank you all so much.
