I just found your stack and enjoying it! 11 years ago I had a melanoma removed from the side of my neck. In one of the follow ups, after my demonologist asked if I was wearing sunscreen, he says, “yea, but I’m not convinced the sun has much to do with it. I see people with skin cancers between their toes and all kinds of places the sun never gets.”
My journey is similar to yours and now I do not wear sunscreen unless it’s the middle of the day and I’ll be out a while. Fear of the sun is not healthy!
I had a similar experience with melanoma. I educated myself about the sun. I rarely use sunscreen opting to put on long sleeves if needed. It’s been 20 years for me.
Thanks for writing this...I'm redirected here from Unbekoming.
I went to a DermDoc last year for a looksie on a few spots. She froze them off and said that's it. Like you, I cycle a lot at elevation ususally in full sun. I start the Spring out getting about fifteen minutes a day for a week or so...moving into 20-30 minutes/day until I start browning sufficiently.
On long rides, I'll do what a few others do an wear long sleeve arm coverings (white) that keep the sun off completely, but will remove them in the last hour or so of the ride. Works perfectly each year. I let my legs go as they seem to tan more naturally and aren't at a horizontal level like your arms.
I lived in Seattle for 20+ years, but moved to the Intermountain area like you (much better!). Ya, it's so cloudy there much of the time that it's hard to acclimated, sun/skin-wise.
The DermDoc did metion skin 'damage' as in more wrinkles, more leathery skin, but that doesn't bother me. It seems in winter, the tan fades and the skin renews a bit to start the process over the next Spring. I do all the things - D3/K2 supps, extra zinc, and a good multi. I use thefeed dot com for many of my go to cycling/health supp needs (nitric oxide, beets, collagen, magnesium, NAD, etc.), and try to eat healthy and get enough sleep. So many good, old things, that can improve health/well-being (DMSO for pain/injuries, Castor Oil for various things, on, and on).
I'm working on a more detailed post about actinic keratoses and sun damage. Niacinamide and ozonated oils seem to be helping a lot.
I'll be 69 this summer, and I'm thinking once our dog dies I might do some bicycle touring again. That should definitely recharge the old batteries!
The oldest person I met who was bicycle touring was 76. He did an annual trip from Aberdeen, WA to Santa Francisco, CA. He averaged 25 miles per day (30 with a tailwind). ;-)
Nice! Ya, I do longer gravel races and former road rider/racer, but between near misses and poor drivers, I do mostly off-road riding. My friend who served in Nam was a big bike tourer, but had to give it up a few years ago due to age and war-related injuries.
I ski a lot and had a good fall last year that gave me some nerve damage, but between some PT/rehab and putting the 70% DMSO on the spot, it's good to go again.
I’ll need to buy a new touring bike, so making it gravel capable is a good idea. My wife is likely to want to shadow me if I go, so it would need to be a road tour the first time out of the barn. The Northern Tier or down the Rockies are equal possibilities. Turning 70 on the road would be great!
I’m glad you survived the fall, and that the DMSO magic helped!
As for cancer... you want to focus on what your diagnosis is. Every cancer is different. When I was dxed with lymphoma 30 years ago, I was fortunate in 2 things in all that misfortune: with lymphoma, you can officially do "watch and wait" because they compared the results of those who went into chemo right away, and those who waited. This data may not be available for other cancers. Secondly, chemo does work in lymphoma, and in the particular kind I had, it bought years not weeks or months. And those years brought better less toxic treatments. In the end, the cancer speeded up, the chemo quit working and they sent me home to die (litterally).
So I found a non-toxic clinical trial, which bought me a little time, and then went to Mexico to start an alternative treatment that saved my life.
The point I am making is... research the cancer you have, and only secondarily cancer in general, and above all, find out what worked for those patients in your shoes who defied the odds. Cheers!
The late Dr Toru Abo, Japan's pre-eminent immunologist and cancer researcher, developed a very elegant and logical understanding of cancer diagnosis /treatment based on an imbalanced ANS response and sympathicatonia (sympathetic nerve system over-dominance). This he adduced most fundamentally to stress and also to factors in the diet or environment which shift metabolic energy production away from the mitochondrial to the glycolytic cycle. Since sympathetic nerve dominance induces contractile states in the body, it reduces blood flow and diminishes transport of electrons. This distribution problem is akin to deflation in an economy, It disrupts functional systems homeostasis in the body. This is analagous to what Dr. Tennant is saying. Heat and warmth are primary for healing since cancer of whatever type is understood to be a "cold" disease in that paradigm, and low thermal temperatures inside the body automatically trigger cell proliferation. When bio-electrical resonance is restored this equates to solar energy perfusing internally and reaching into cut off areas. Thus, cancer is also a disease of energy malnutrition which drives compensatory over-production of cells in swing response. You are right about skin cancer not being caused by sun exposure so much as by exposure to toxic and dis-regulating frequencies in indoor environments. This was noted by a study in Australia done many decades ago where beach goers were found to have lower incidences of skin cancer than office workers who rarely went outside.
Wow, incredible comment. I'm slowing catching up with you on the cold paradigm you mentioned. I've started taking my waking body temperature. When I started, it was 95.6 F. I currently consistently get it between 97 F and 97.6 F, and continue to try to solve that puzzle. I recently decided to purchased a Medlab Biotrohn and am experimenting with frequencies to try to resolve some gut dysbiosis issues that developed about four years ago (spastic colon). I suspect I have some leaky gut due to Candida, but haven't been tested. I was reading your article about mold and pure gum spirits of turpentine, and might give that a try if this current effort fails.
I'm totally on board with Tennant's thinking that all chronic disease stems from the body's inability to make new cells, which is caused by a loss of electrons. Energy is the foundation that health is built upon.
Good. Many people I hear from report greater success when using Andreas Kalcker's Biotrohn in conjunction with CDS protocols. The Biotrohn and Plasmatrohn are used in AK Foundation clinics to treat cancers and lead to higher remission rates. Pure Gum S of Turps is very good to remove candida. Leaky gut if one has it, needs to be repaired subsequently. Candida can certainly be linked to cancers and all chronic disease. Lower than normal body temp correlates with Th 2 dominance in immune response. CDS when used properly, encourages stem cell production, proliferation and distribution. This too is a matter of current and voltage in fact.
Wow! Another great comment. Thanks so much for taking the time to do so.
I have Kalcker's book and it was Protocol Z that got me to pull the trigger on the Biotrohn, having heard about other zappers for years. I've started out with just using the Biotrohn without the CDS, just wanting to experiment a bit, thinking I might write about my experience in the future. I'll continue through Friday. If I don't perceive an improvement, I can either add the CDS or increase the current. I suspect at some point I'll get tired of fiddling around and throw everything at it - Biotrohn, CDS, GST and anything else I can think of (I added sugar cubes to my shopping list).
I had originally tried Frequency Specific Microcurrent, but at $65 per treatment and an unknown number of treatments needed, the cost racked up pretty fast. At least by owning a unit, my wife can likely use it to help with healing her decades-old back injury. And hopefully we'll both benefit. At least our expenditure is capped at the cost of the unit, rather than being open ended.
I think Th 2 issue could have been with me a long time. I had been a year round bicycle commuter for decades, and frequently bicycle toured on vacations. I remember a former doc commenting on my white blood cell count, saying that if I ever quit cycling, things would likely hit me like a ton of bricks.
About two years prior to my melanoma, I had stopped cycling due to arthritis in my cervical spine. I started up again after moving from Seattle to Boise, where I developed a passion for bicycle hill climbing. The melanoma happened in between.
I agree, candida is likely a symptom of energy depletion, which is why I'm currently traveling down this road.
Protocol C is always the best way to start with CDS. Protocol E may be added, and is possibly very beneficial in cases of candida and/or to heal the gut lining.
I did Protocol C for about four months at the beginning of last year, just to see what might happen to my health in general. I also used it topically for Actinic Keratoses that had run amok, for which I initially had good results, but it turned out to be only temporary symptom relief.
I actually did Protocol R a few times, since my spastic colon is in that neighborhood. I have the kit for Protocol E, but haven’t gone there yet.
I guess I’ve been having a bit of chicken and egg dilemma with the Biotrohn, over whether to focus on candida or hypothyroidism. I know candida needs lower temperature to thrive, so I’m starting to think that I should be focusing on using the Biotrohn to deal with increasing my waking temperature first.
I seem to be tolerating the cold much better than what is normal for me, since getting my waking temperature consistently above 97F. That, plus Tennant placing thyroid issues at the top of the list for addressing energy issues, suggests that’s where I should have started.
If I can’t get it up above 97.8 F, I guess it will be time to see my functional med doc and get thyroid levels checked, to see if he has any magic to get me over the hump.
I’ll brew up a fresh batch of CDS and start thinking about how to integrate it with my normal supplement routine. And then start using the Hypothyroidism program on the Biotrohn.
I suspect I need to get a notebook to keep track of my experiences. Otherwise I’ll end up losing track of what happened when, etc.
Thanks once again for offering your help and advice!
Go get your thyroid function checked (can be tricky interpreting the test results). Hypo can be due to toxide halides / bromides attached to iodine receptors. That would be analogous to EMFs from the office you spoke about inducing disturbed frequency input to skin's solar batteries.
And I'm glad you've survived the medical gauntlet. The human body is pretty amazing as far as what it can recover from, at least as long as MDs don't start carving out "unnecessary" organs.
If you ever want to share your more complete story, there are a couple ways I might help. Co-authorship, or I could cross post for you. I can't guarantee until I see the story, but I suspect you've got a story others would like to hear.
Was that for me? I got two interesting stories, one for cancer and one for acute pancreatitis (both of them a warning against conventional med, even though I utilized it at least in part).
Your pancreatitis story is fabulous too. Maybe you should do a separate topic for it.
Sorry about that, depending upon where I’m at when I tell Substack I want to reply, sometimes it puts me where I’m just adding a new comment…
I’m still trying to solve my pancreatitis puzzle, and I’m hoping that might happen in the next few months. Fingers crossed. If I do, I’ll write about it.
Whichever story is simplest (I’m thinking probably the acute pancreatitis?), that would be the place to start. That way we can work through this and see what it takes to end up with something we’re both happy with.
One reason that for a long time I was hesitant about writing on Substack, was that the best stories to me are personal anecdotes. And each of us only has so many to offer, so I envisioned things sputtering to a halt after a few months.
Helping others tell their anecdotes might be a way to cover more topics and draw things out a bit longer. And enough anecdotes from enough people have a lot more power than any of our stories individually.

I'll drop a note in chat.
Vitamin D3 is for your immune system. Iodine is also for your immune system. Maintaining good levels will reduce risks of cancer.
It's hard to think about that when we're all trying to survive her demented psychopathic pedophile husband in the White House.
