About Us
Why did we start metabolic therapy?
What do we get out of providing all this content for people we don’t know?
Here’s our story!
A Journey That Changed Everything
Cancer.
It’s the one word no family ever wants to hear.
For us, it became real in April 2024 when our mum was diagnosed with Stage 4 cervical cancer. It had already spread aggressively to her bones and brain. In a single moment, everything changed.
Then came the statistics.
Doctors told us she might only have 11 months to live.
It felt like the ground had been ripped out from under us.
But even in that moment, we knew one thing:
We weren’t giving up.
Her medical team started her on a tough treatment plan—six rounds of high-dose chemo (Paclitaxel and Carboplatin) alongside immunotherapy (Pembrolizumab). But then, just a week before her first treatment, she had a stroke. It was terrifying. The doctors decided to leave Avastin out of her regimen, but Mum was ready to fight. Every day, despite how hard it got, she told us, “I’m not giving up.” Her determination kept us going.
A Glimmer of Hope
She was started on an intense treatment plan:
- Paclitaxel
- Carboplatin
- Pembrolizumab
But just one week before treatment began, she suffered a stroke.
It was terrifying.
And yet, every day, she told us:
“I’m not giving up.”
In the middle of all this chaos, we stumbled across Dr. Thomas Seyfried’s research on metabolic therapy and the “press-pulse protocol.” For the first time, we felt like there was some hope outside the standard treatments. Mum wasn’t sure about trying anything that might interfere with her chemo, but she was open to the ketogenic diet—a key part of the protocol. It wasn’t much, but it felt like we were taking back a little bit of control.
After six cycles of chemo and immunotherapy, we held our breath as the results came in. Her PET scan showed no evidence of disease (NED), and her MRI revealed a 25% reduction in her brain metastases. It was unbelievable—something we hadn’t dared to hope for at the start.
What followed wasn’t linear.
There were setbacks. Complications. Moments where things didn’t feel right.
We began researching deeply — metabolic therapies, repurposed drugs, supplements, and emerging strategies. We questioned decisions. We pushed for answers.
Fighting for More Than One Life
At the same time, cancer hit our family again.
Our boxer Pepper was diagnosed with bone cancer.
Our other dog Fiona developed lymphoma.
We applied everything we were learning — ketogenic strategies, supplementation, and metabolic approaches like Fenbendazole — doing everything we could with what we had.
Challenges and Hard Choices
We were hopeful.
She had just started a new protocol.
Her scans had been stable.
Her inflammation markers were low.
We believed we had time.
Then everything changed — fast.
She developed sudden, severe gastrointestinal symptoms and was admitted to hospital. A CT scan suggested ischemic colitis. A swab confirmed COVID.
What followed was a rapid and complex deterioration.
Her inflammation markers rose dramatically.
Her oxygen levels declined.
Her condition evolved quickly.
We questioned everything. We pushed for answers. We asked for reassessment as new symptoms emerged.
By then, it was too late.
I never imagined I would be writing this.
My mum passed away.
There are no words that can fully describe the emptiness she’s left behind.
She wasn’t just my mother.
She was my best friend.
My anchor.
My reason for fighting.
And the heart behind everything we built here.
I was with her until her last breath.
Holding her hand.
She passed away on the 15th of February at 21:29.
Her final words were that she was proud of us — and that we should live, and stick together.
Why We’re Sharing This
This journey has given us a purpose: spreading the word about Dr. Seyfried’s work and metabolic therapy for cancer. It’s shocking how few people know about these options that could make such a difference. We want to make sure others don’t feel as lost as we did at the start.
If you’re battling cancer, supporting someone who is, or just looking for answers, we want you to know you’re not alone. There’s always more to learn, more to try, and more reasons to keep fighting.
This platform was created for her.
Everything here — every piece of research, every post, every insight — comes from that journey.
From love.
From loss.
From a deep belief that people deserve more:
- More awareness
- More options
- More questions asked
- More control over their journey
Because what we went through should not happen in the dark.
This is her legacy.
A place where:
- Science is explored
- Experiences are shared
- And people are empowered to go deeper
If you’re here, you’re not alone.
There is always more to learn.
And there are always more paths to explore.
Joining Forces with Simon - how it started
I met Bernardo, whose story you just read, through the group he started on skool.com called Cancer Warriors. I joined because I have recently been diagnosed with very early cancer and wanted to look into various groups about healing cancer naturally.
For me, cancer wasn’t a shock revelation, more of an annoyance. I have adenocarcinoma in the bowel and the reason I have such an early diagnosis is that I have been monitored with regular screenings for over 25 years because of an autoimmune condition called Ulcerative Colitis. Given that I have such an early diagnosis, I have plenty of time to build out a full plan of treatment, get any test done that I feel will help, and time my metabolic therapy with the regular checkups through the NHS.
Ironically, my cancer diagnosis came at a time when after decades of trying a thousand different things, I am finally on top of my condition. In terms of outward appearance, if you spent any length of time with me, you would never know I had any health problems at all.
sharing Goals
Anyway, back to meeting Bernardo. While in the Skool group, I was sharing my research with the members. As a tech geek, I am quite heavily into the latest craze in tech, artificial intelligence (AI). As a research tool, the various AIs out there are incredible at helping me learn about the many aspects of metabolic therapy and the press/pulse protocol. I’ve always been good at research and finding answers, now, I’ve got the tools and a pretty good reason to get deep into the ins and outs of how and why Prof Seyfried’s work is so important.
MY OUTLOOK ON CANCER RESEARCH
There have been stories about people being cured of cancer without modern conventional interventions for decades. But how true are these stories? Are they just fables? Is there any basis in fact and science? How is it there is no “cure” for cancer when there has been billions spent on research over several decades?
It is only now when the worlds knowledge has been shrunk into a technological device in our pockets that we are able to piece together the facts and experiences from everyone, everywhere.
GETTING STARTED
Having had many conversations about various topics in the group, I saw Bernardo’s post asking for help with building a website. I answered since I have some website-building experience as well as being an IT and tech geek for much of my life.
Our discussions led to me essentially taking over responsibility for building the website. I have a vested interest in the information being presented and some technical know-how, so it seems like a pretty good fit. I guess we’ve become partners, so it’s probably a good job that we like each other as well as just having a shared goal.
Instead of waiting for somebody else to do the research, find the answers, and lay everything out neatly and ready for consumption, we’ve decided to undertake this task ourselves. The information is out there.
We met up in the latter half of February 2025 and spent a few days together. We shared stories and insights and I met with most of Bernardo’s lovely family. We hope to have many more visits in the future. We are both in the UK, but we’re not exactly neighbours. So now, we’re partners in sharing the huge amount of knowledge around metabolic therapy, Prof. Seyfried’s work and its ground breaking effects for other cancer warriors.
