#22I have heard some people having luck by switching to a ketogenic diet. Here’s a paper I could find on PubMed about this. Sorry to hear about your friend. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9504425/ Edit: I am not a doctor. My wife is a physician and I spoke to her before posting this.
I wish I had something better to add, but I can add an anecdotal +1 to this.
A relative went keto pretty hard after a bad diagnosis and they are still going strong. As far as I understand it, cancer cells can only function on glucose.

#23No, no folk remedies or bio-hacking or wearing magnets on your head will help, unfortunately.
It's a powerful Ask HN though. This is deeply touching.
This is the bargaining phase of grief, where a person will seek to do whatever they can to change a fate. But when they find they can’t no matter how hard they try, they’ll just proceed to anger and then depression.

#24My mother has “frozen” breast cancer for 15 years using oral bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis).
To give you the short version of the story about how it works for HER: taking bloodroot causes the cancer to shrink too small to take a biopsy, but not go into remission, and when she stops taking it per the doctors advice, it gets very large and they start talking about surgery.
Nobody really understands how it works and a lot of people claim it doesn’t work, but I think it’s probably similar to a low dose natural chemo.
I have seen it work unusually well with skin cancers (melanoma) as well using paste application (this is called black salve), so despite what the FDA claims, I think there’s something there, and there’s a few papers that agree.
Don’t put black salve on your head, it leaves a hole where the cancer comes out.

Thanks a lot, I hadn't seen this. I'll read through.

#26Have you looked into ivermectin and fenbendazole? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3158014/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7505114/
No, thanks a lot for pointing out.

#27Did your friend get genetic sequencing done on his tumor. There are some recent promising results for braf mutated gbm
No, they can't reach the tumor surgically. Thanks for the info though.

#28Hack your calendar and be there for him! All the best!

#29That spinning hat is pretty cool. When cells breath they create a byproduct (Reactive Oxygen Species) - all cells do this, they need to keep their ROS levels in check else the cell will die, but because cancer cells have messed up mitochondria, they don't do this correctly and typically end up with way more ROS. That hat agitates the cells so they produce more ROS, but because the cancer cells are almost at capacity, it overloads them and they die from ROS strangulation.

Thanks for your message. My friend's getting TTF as part of his medical treatment. CEGAT Vaccine, I didn't know about, I'll look into it.
Several people have mentioned keto diet, it also looks like a smart thing to try.
