Repurposed Drugs Or Nah?!

Repurposed Drugs and the Evolving Landscape of Cancer Care

After returning from Colombia I decided to think about the next phase of my treatment with non-homeopathic medicines. I did a deep dive into the broad spectrum benzimidazole. The three most popular in the suppression of cancer being Fenbendozole, Ivermectin, and Mebendazole. I found an amazing website (www.diycancertherapeutics.com) which summaries the benefits and offers protocols for each.

Benzimidazole is defined as a chemical compound that serves as a fundamental structure in a variety of derivatives exhibiting significant biological activities, including antihelmintic, antimicrobial, antitumor, and antioxidant properties. It was initially developed in the 1950s for use in plant fungicides and later for veterinary and human medicine.
— European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2015

I decided to start with the medium dose of Fenbendozole, 222 mg (6 days a week), via the Joe Tippens Protocol. A 30 day supply was $41. (Source: fenbenlab.com)


What Does FenBen Do?

  1. Inhibits glucose uptake

  2. Activates p53 tumor suppressor gene

  3. Triggers apoptosis

  4. Inhibits metastasis (cell division)

  5. Immune modulator

  6. Blocks angiogensis

  7. Depletes glutathione in tumors

  8. Suppresses AKT signaling pathway

  9. Restores normal cell cycle regulation

  10. Synergistic with other natural agents

  11. Cross blood-brain barrier

  12. Developed in 1970s by Hoechst AG patent expired, so Big Pharma won’t invest because can not monopoly to control price

  13. Very similar to the plant alkaloids group of chemotherapies (Taxol)

When The Treatment is Worst Than the Dis-Ease

“It simple points to an ineffective medical system that is focused on illness rather than wellness, that promotes expensive (i.e., profit-driven), invasive and potentially dangerous (or even deadly) medical procedures, drugs or treatments rather than simple, natural, inexpensive treatments or therapies that have no side effects.”

-The One Minute Cure (Cavanaugh, 2021)


I have joined no less than five groups on Facebook related to my dis-ease. As a result, the algorithm has shared with me dynamic natural healers from all over the world. One such healers is David Chauncey Cook.

https://www.facebook.com/share/14PyumtidRx/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I’m enthralled with his knowledge of natural remedies and how it’s connected to the Most High.

In the videos I’ve watched of his so far here is a snippet of his wisdom.

  • There is no such thing as a universal healthy food.

  • Worry comes from lack of faith👉🏾perfect peace is opposite of stress👉🏾comes from trusting GOD

  • More belief changes the way you respond to the things happening in your life GOD is in control.

  • No exercise can take the place of WALKING.

  • Our bodies are build up by the foods we eat.

  • The type of food we eat determines the type of blood you’ll have. (Food is transferred to blood)

  • Dis-ease comes from a violation in the laws of health.

Your Immune System Is Intelligent

During this journey, I’ve been tuned in to Facebook for my unbiased, anti-Big Pharma resources. When you search Google for specific answers about alternative Big C care, you’re given a very doctored, filtered answer which supports their tertiary approach to care (Chemo-Radiation-Surgery).

Our immune system has intelligence. It can learn, remember, and adapt. If given the right conditions it facilitates the healing of any ailment in our bodies. What are the conditions you ask, well I’m on a journey to answer this exact question. One doctor that confirms this sentiment is Dr. Steven Baker {@dr.stevenbaker}. He gives a unique perspective on auto immune disease and the innate intelligence within our bodies. Here are a few of his thoughts (paraphrased by me):

There is no such thing as an auto-immune dis-ease, its a lie. Your immune system is not messed up. It will never do the wrong thing. It’s not attacking your body.

Your immune system is run by your nervous system. Your nervous system is consistently scanning your body with innate intelligence, its perfect.

Why would you have an auto immune dis-ease? Your immune system is attacking something that shouldn’t be there, “a foreign invader”. Its job is to attack, kill, and get rid of cellular damage. Your immune system fixes cell damage.

A Love Letter To Our Natural Killer Cells

There is an intelligence within us that predates every pharmaceutical, every diagnosis, every lab result.

Before we were given treatment plans…

Before we were given prognosis…

Before we were given fear…

We were given an immune system.

And not just a system — an intelligent one.

The Body Was Designed to Protect Itself

Our immune system is not random.
It is layered, strategic, adaptive, and extraordinarily responsive.

It communicates.
It remembers.
It distinguishes self from non-self.
It mobilizes in seconds.

From the moment we are born, it begins scanning, defending, and recalibrating.

Even when we do nothing consciously, it is working.

And at the heart of this defense lies something remarkable.

Natural Killer Cells: The Silent Guardians

Among the many components of the immune system are Natural Killer (NK) cells — part of our innate immune response.

They do not need training. They do not need prior exposure. They do not require detailed instructions.

They recognize abnormal cells quickly — including virus-infected cells and tumor cells — and they respond.

They release perforin and granzymes, proteins that penetrate compromised cells and initiate cellular self-destruction (apoptosis).

In simple terms?

They identify what does not belong…
And they remove it.

Silently. Efficiently. Relentlessly.

Built-In Surveillance

Think of NK cells as constant patrol.

Every single day, your body forms abnormal cells. This is normal biology. What keeps things balanced is not perfection — it is surveillance.

Your immune system monitors.

When NK cell activity is strong, the body maintains resilience.
When it is suppressed — by chronic stress, lack of sleep, inflammation, or emotional trauma — surveillance can weaken.

This is not about fear.
It is about awareness.

Intelligence Beyond Mechanism

What fascinates me most is this:

Your immune system adapts.

It learns.
It evolves.
It strengthens when supported.

When we nourish our bodies…
When we reduce stress…
When we create stillness…
When we believe in the body’s design…

We are not being naive.

We are cooperating with biology.

A Personal Reflection

As I walk through my own healing journey, I find deep comfort in knowing that inside me — beyond fear, beyond scans — there are cells designed to protect me.

Cells that do not panic.
Cells that do not catastrophize.
Cells that simply do their job.

Natural Killer cells are not violent.
They are precise.

They remind me that my body is not broken.
It is working.

And perhaps healing is not always about fighting.
Perhaps sometimes it is about supporting what was already brilliantly designed.

Final Thought

The immune system is not the enemy.
It is not weak by default.
It is not confused without reason.

It is intelligent.

And when we align with that intelligence —
with patience, nourishment, and reverence —

we remember something powerful:

The body knows.

FREE Radicals: Cancer Edition

For over 20 years I have researched the “perfect human diet” for optimal health. I had such a restricted diet, no eggs, no meat, no poultry, no carbonated beverages for over 12 years. I truly thought I got it right. Alas, my body developed a watermelon sized tumor. Since my diagnosis, I have been on the search yet again. This time around, everything that I thought I knew was debunked. This post is dedicated to the new and improved discoveries about food and beverages I recently discovered on this quest to metabolically rid my body of cancer.

Let’s begin the conversation with supplements. I have a kitchen cabinet filled with homeopathic supplements, tinctures, and teas. My supply increased with my diagnosis. Here is a list of the supplements I alternate taking for immune support since my diagnosis:

Vitamin C (intravaneously)

Vitamin D3 + K2 + A (20,000 IU/day)

Omega 3 Fatty Acids

B Vitamins (particularly B17- Apricot Seeds)

GreenTea Extract

Sulforaphane

Resveratrol

Methylene Blue

Melatonin

Milk Thistle

Vitamin E

Curcumin

CBD Oil


Eliminating Free Radicals

  1. No deep fried food.

  2. No vegetable oils.

  3. No salad dressings. (use lemon, spices, vinegar)

  4. No margarine. (use butter, ghee)

  5. No added sugar.

  6. Limit air pollutants.


Why Can Free Radicals Be Harmful?

When free radicals steal electrons, they can damage:

  • Cell membranes (lipid peroxidation)

  • Proteins

  • DNA

If this process becomes excessive, it creates oxidative stress — an imbalance between free radicals and the body’s ability to neutralize them.

Oxidative stress has been associated in research with:

  • Aging

  • Chronic inflammation

  • Cardiovascular disease

  • Neurodegenerative disorders

  • Cancer progression

The key word here is imbalance.

Simple Analogy

Think of a free radical like someone missing a puzzle piece.

They grab the first piece they see — even if it belongs to someone else’s puzzle.

If too many are grabbing pieces, the whole picture gets distorted.

That distortion is oxidative stress.


Free Radicals, NK Cells, and the Delicate Balance of Immune Intelligence

1️⃣ The Surprising Truth:

Natural Killer (NK) cells use free radicals on purpose.

When NK cells identify a virus-infected or abnormal cell, they:

  • Release perforin (creates pores)

  • Release granzymes (trigger apoptosis)

  • Generate reactive oxygen species (free radicals) inside the target cell

Why?

Because oxidative damage inside a compromised cell helps trigger programmed cell death.

In other words:

Free radicals are weapons in immune defense.

They are not accidents. They are tools.

Informed Consent: Hysterectomy Consequences Your Doctor Won't Tell You

After receiving a preliminary diagnosis and allopathic treatment plan, I joined a Facebook group called, “HYSTERECTOMY CONSQUENCES: What Women Are Not Told”. This group was the single most contributing factor in my decision to not entertain a full hysterectomy at 44 years old. Below are the facts that I learned in the group along with an invaluable resource.

Here are the FACTS:

  1. A woman’s gonads are her ovaries. Removal of the ovaries is CASTRATION, and the aftereffects are to women what the aftereffects of removal of the testicles are to men.

  2. Removal of the uterus causes the loss of uterine orgasm.

  3. Less than 2% of all hysterectomies are life-saving. Most hysterectomies are performed for benign conditions, not medical problems.

  4. The ligaments that suspend the uterus are also the support structures for our midsection. They keep the spine, hips, and rib cage where they belong.

  5. Whether the hysterectomy is partial or total ALL the ligaments, nerves, and blood supply attached to the uterus must be severed to remove it.

  6. Severing the ligaments permits the pelvic bones to move and widen, affecting hips, lower back, and skeletal structure.

  7. The displacement of the pelvic bones results in compression of the spine.

  8. The compression is why hysterectomized women have protruding bellies and little to no waist.

  9. Weakening of the pelvic floor and a loss from the severing of pelvic nerves may result in urinary incontinence, chronic constipation, or fecal incontinence.

  10. Bladder, bowel, and urinary problems are common after hysterectomy.

  11. Physical sexual sensation is diminished or lost entirely because of the severing of nerves and the removal of the uterus.

  12. One of the many functions of the uterus and the ovaries is cardiovascular protection.

  13. When the uterus is removed, woman have a 3x greater incidence of heart disease.

  14. When the ovaries are removed, women have a 7x greater incidence of heart disease.

  15. During a vaginal hysterectomy the uterus is removed through the vagina.

  16. Because the uterus is continuous with the cervix which is continuous with the vagina, the surgeon cuts into the vagina around the cervix, creating a hole in the top of the vagina.

  17. This hole in the vagina must be sutured shut, forming a closed pocket, and a shortened vagina.

  18. Your period may end, but you may still ovulate and have cramps each month.

  19. If your ovaries are removed, menopausal symptoms start right away.

  20. The result of a hysterectomy is the same: a hormone-responsive reproductive sex organ is removed.

Valuable Resource

For a comprehensive view of hysterectomy visit the H.E.R.S Foundation website here.

All in all, it is a woman’s prerogative to “select” to have a hysterectomy. It’s my hope that woman make this decision with full disclosure and without the pressure of her medical care team. In life you are either wise or otherwise. BE WISE WITH ALL OF YOUR DECISIONS CONCERNING YOUR HEALTH AND WELLNESS. Coercion, fear, and doubt won’t heal your dis-ease.

Preliminary Diagnosis + A Hospital Stay

Saturday, September 27, I requested to be admitted on Monday morning, so there was no need for me to wait for expert care. I went home. I slept all day Sunday, and right around dinner time I decided to have a slice of the kids’ pizza. LAWD…why?! Within 10 minutes my body felt like all 15 feet of my intestines were trying to forcefully escape my body. Oh the pain! D immediately yelled for the girls to pack me a small bag and we were off to the ER, once again.


There was no triage, they took me back and set me up with a room. The Attending came over and said we are going to get you Morphine for the pain. I looked at D and asked him to call my mother to ask about a non-opioid alternative for the pain. She asked my sister who suggested, Toradol. When the nurse came around to administer the IV morphine, I said to her, “I don’t want that. Can you please give me Toradol?” She looked at her screen and said, “OK. Let me get the doctor.” Within seven minutes, she came back with the IV Toradol for the pain. Once it was administered, my body was able to relax enough for me to take a quick nap. When I woke up from my 15 minute nap, I noticed my goddaughter was in the room with us. It was such a pleasant surprise. D called her to stay the night so he could go home to prepare for work and the kids.


Once I was officially admitted the barrage of bloodletting began. In total, 19 vials of blood over my three day stay; three of these were blood culture bottles (think: nip, shot bottles of alcohol). After meeting the oncologist assigned to me, he sent an order for a paracentesis to drain the excessive fluid from my abdomen. The procedure generated 1500cc of fluid (~51 fl oz).


The procedure was completed with no complications. However, later that night I developed a fever. A fever in a hospital?! Good Gosh we must fix! Here is one of many gripes with allopathic medicine (my common sense radar going off): You poke a needle into my side to drain fluid that has caused excessive inflammation and my body’s response is to what? ignore the hole in my side? Needless to say I was given an unnecessary antibiotic. My fever broke in less than eight hours.

Overall, my stay was uneventful. On my last day in the hospital I made the strong suggestion that I needed to be discharged. The oncologist’s course of action was to keep me in the hospital until the results of the paracentesis and blood culture came in. Once the results arrived he was prepared to put in a port to begin a round of chemo. Nigga what?! When I tell you I was perplexed as to how he thought I would agree to such a profane plan to defile my already compromised body. BUT, this is standard process of care for my situation. Most people do not question, the “expert’s” recommendations.

Living where we live the selection of top-tier hospitals doesn’t exist without at minimum an hour’s drive. Between the wait to see an oncologist, the poor food quality, and the rooms with no shower, I was over it. On September 30, I woke up and told my nurse to let the doctor know I want to be discharged today. Of course offense was taken, a dietitian and someone from Patient Advocacy was sent to the room. Long story short, I was discharged with an appointment for out-patient procedures, without a port.


When You Ignore The Warnings

It’s been an extremely long time since I have shared my thoughts and feelings on this blog. Another chapter started in my life that has FORCED me to stop everything.Let’s call this Chapter: The Big C.

I felt like writing would be the best outlet for all of my current frustrations, stressors, and new adventures with this life altering diagnosis. So, here I am.

I resigned from my career in 2021. From that point on until right around June 2024 I went full throttle with Petite Seats (my business). Working 70 hour weeks, sleeping 3-4 hours a night, eating in the street (but “healthy” options minus the gluten). My body felt fine. I had weekly massages, depending on the load of the week I’d get two massages per week. In my head this was enough to maintain a healthy body. Welp, you know what I ignored?! My body’s inflammation. Severe edema in my legs, ankles, and feet. Additionally, my BELLY began to “pop out” out of no where. No amount of exercise would reduce my belly. My stomach began quite malleable and rotund. I felt like, okay, I’ll get a waist cincher and be on my way.

This worked up until this summer, right around June 2025. My once soft and squishy stomach turned rock solid.

Nida’s Inner Body Dialog:

Wi swoll she ankles an mek she belly big! She a go a di Docta. (My subconscious is definitely a Jamaican older woman).

Onida, in fact did not go to the doctor. Two more months passed and a new symptom arose…overwhelming, debilitating fatigue. The entire month of August I neglected a large part of my household duties to remain in a fetal like state in my bed.

Nida’s Inner Body Dialog:

Ok, now she sleeps like di dead. She a guh a di docta now.

Nope, I waited. I waited until I could no longer keep food down without horrifying pain. I waited until I couldn’t stand or sit upright for more than 20 minutes. On September 27, my big belly (a.k.a. Corti) and I decided to power through and attend SJ’s tennis match. I was strong, I did it. However, what was just a slight rumbling in my belly turned into a dull, persistent pain in my lower abdomen. We arrived home after the match and I drove myself to the ER.

During this visit, they did bloodwork and they did a CT scan. What did they see you ask?! The ER doctor on post said, “You have two grapefruit sized cysts on your ovaries. Along with a large amount of smaller cysts along the omentum. You have Big C ma’am”.

Simplify horrifying, right?! A cancer diagnosis. My mind nor my body was prepared for this. I was on a bed parallel to the Nurse’s Station. It was a Friday night, the ER was busy. No privacy and no D. After the doctor’s words, showing no outward emotions to the preliminary diagnosis, I thanked him and said so what’s next. He explained that the oncology team would be in on Monday and he’s preparing me to be admitted. After saying this he walked away. I turned on my side toward the wall and I cried. For 3 minutes I let my emotions take over. The 4th minute I starting talking to Yah. Minute 10, I called my anchor, I said, “D dey telling me I have the Big C”.

Nida’s Inner Body Dialog:

Finally! No wait till drum beat before you grine you axe.

My Janky Detox Protocol

After the diagnosis of cancer, the doctor’s constant reminder of his care plan (biopsy 👉🏾port👉🏾chemo👉🏾surgery) made me feel as if time was on warp speed. My compliance was needed immediately. No time for consideration for this life-altering, irreversible decision.

This false sense of urgency is put in place to keep you in a state of unbalance, it temporarily disables your critical thinking abilities. It is a damaging stressor. My guy (oncologist) told us I have 4-6 months to live before the dis-ease kills me. LOL…shit is insane!

See, it’s simple. When you don’t live with the spirit of fear, having a doctor tell you the course of your life will end in six months if you refuse his death tactics is side-splitting comedy (in addition to being egregiously tactless).

My advice to anyone in a similar situation is to TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR DIAGNOSIS. YOUR DIAGNOSIS IS YOUR TEACHER (Green Book, Dr. Reese). After telling the oncologist I would not be doing a biopsy or chemo he told me explicitly that he couldn’t offer me care. Imagine that, my refusal of being sucked into his death system results in the “care”.

Death sells better than life. A biopsy leads to metastasis…DEATH. Chemo’s failure rate is above 90% over a five year period…DEATH. A hysterectomy kills slowly…DEATH. I want no part of this violence cycle. My body CAN heal cancer without chemo and losing an organ.

Let me get into what I did after leaving the hospital and my office visit with the oncologist.

Post Hospital Doctor’s Office Visit

After leaving the hospital I had this renewed conviction to overcome this dis-ease by trusting the years of research I’ve done on healing the body by means of holistic healing.

Play 1: The Herbs “Every sickness has its bush.”

I sourced wildcrafted herbs from Jamaica via Etsy + Amazon. Additionally, I purchased the tincture of the green hull of the black walnut (from a Black Owned herbalist). My list of purchases:

Intermission {11/6/25}

Today is D’s birthday. He has been EVERYTHING! This experience with him has further emphasized how highly favored I am. This man has been the consummate caregiver! Through the gut-wrenching pain, moments of not wanting to leave the bed, and ultimately trusting me to determine the course to take on this “cancer” journey he has my back, front, top, and bottom. Thank the Most High for His immeasurable grace and favor. Thank you D! I’m truly living my soft girl life (I’ll write about this in a subsequent post).

Play 2: 19 Day Fast

On October 2, I woke up and decided my first level of defense against BIG C was to clean my colon. I debated doing a 20 day water fast, however my research indicated you do this supervised. Instead, I literally stopped eating for about 3.5 days, still hydrating with water. My angst took my appetite away, so it wasn’t difficult. I knew that my immune system was compromised. I knew that the immune system’s main power source is the colon. Life and death begin in the colon. My fast was going to give every system in my body time to rest and begin the healing process. I ate the equivalent of a quarter of an apple, small amount of fresh soursop {I dislike the texture}, and six globe grapes at each meal. I lost over 15 pounds during this fast (25 pounds over all).

The fasting journey was messy. My colon was NOT happy. I expelled so much gunk and had loose stools for half of the fast. My sister purchased me Depends after sharing my journey of shitting on myself.

All in all, the first stage of my healing was acceptance then cleansing. My mission is to support my immune system.

Play 3: For Parasite Protocol

After fasting for 19 days I began the refeeding process. I wanted to begin eating more than fruits in tandem with following the 18 days Dr. Hulda Clark parasite removal protocol. Besides the multitude of capsules per day, I completed without a challenge.
