I Was Given Less Than 6 Weeks To Live, Then the ‘Impossible’ Happened
Published Jul 06, 2025 at 6:00 AM EDTUpdated Jul 07, 2025 at 5:43 AM EDT
I was 50 years old when a doctor looked me in the eyes and said I had just four to six weeks left to live. Nothing can prepare you for that moment. I was in shock.
Just weeks earlier, I had been on holiday. But, shortly after I returned, a wave of exhaustion hit me. I brushed it off—after all, I was a business owner, a mom of six, and navigating a separation. Of course, I was tired. Life was full on, and I assumed it was simply catching up with me. Cancer never even crossed my mind. I had already beaten it once.
In 2018, I was diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer and went through eight rounds of chemotherapy and 25 rounds of radiotherapy before getting the all-clear. I was monitored annually—but only my breasts. No one looked anywhere else.
But cancer recurrence doesn’t always return to where it started. Sometimes, it creeps back, silent and unseen, until it spreads somewhere new. And, in my case, it came back with a vengeance.
After nearly five cancer-free years, I was told in August 2023 that I had Stage IV cancer. It had overtaken 85 percent of my liver. It had metastasized into my bones and there was a tumor in my lung.
The public health system in England offered me palliative care. It was a death sentence I wasn’t willing to accept. I wasn’t ready to leave behind my six children: Matt, 35; Will, 24; Hannah, 19; Alfie, 17; Oscar, 14; and Evie, 13.
With five of my six children when I was 50. (L-R) Matt, then 33, Oscar, 14, Alfie, 17, Evie, 13, Wil, 32. Laura Pearce
I’d spent my life juggling parenting, building businesses, staying fit, and doing everything that I thought a “perfect” mom and wife should do. I didn’t want my story or my children’s memories to end in a hospice.
With the help of a friend, I found a lifeline: a specialist for radiotherapy-radiation oncology in Frankfurt, Germany—Dr. Thomas J. Vogl, who was known for treating advanced cancers that others wouldn’t touch.
Just three weeks after my diagnosis, I left for Germany. I said goodbye to my children, terrified that it might be for the last time. My ex-husband, who is still a great friend, came with me. I could barely sit up. Even speaking was difficult.
At the clinic, Vogl told me plainly: “No one in your condition would normally be treated. But I’ll give you a chance.” There was a risk the treatment itself could kill me, but I had nothing to lose.
In September 2023, when I was given a prognosis of just weeks to live.
In June 2024 with my son William. Laura Pearce
Vogl began a procedure called transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). It is a minimally invasive treatment that involves delivering high doses of chemotherapy directly into the blood vessels feeding the tumor, through the hepatic artery. Then, the blood supply to the tumor is intentionally blocked, or “embolized,” to trap the chemotherapy in the tumor and starve it of nutrients. This targeted approach allows the treatment to be more concentrated in the tumor.
Vogl told Newsweek: “We are using Transarterial chemoperfusion (TACP) and TACE for a lot of different organs, mainly the liver, but also lungs, pelvic, brain and extremities.”
An NHS England press officer told Newsweek: “TACE are treatments for primary liver cancer. Primary liver cancer is different to cancer that spreads to someone’s liver from somewhere else in their body. This is called secondary liver cancer or liver metastases.”
I flew back home the very next day, and I didn’t tell the NHS. They had warned me not to go. I knew it was risky—they wanted to treat me systemically, not locally. But I believed in my gut that I had to try.
Naively, I agreed to systemic chemotherapy, too. In hindsight, it was a mistake, but I was scared and desperate.
Within weeks, I had sepsis. My body went into free-fall. I was on 24-hour care, and my body was turning on itself.
Somehow, I pulled through. And just four weeks later, I was strong enough to return to Germany for my second TACE session.
This time, I knew I had to do more than just attack the cancer. I had to rebuild my body, too. I had testing done to identify every deficiency. I focused on gut health, inflammation, and nutrient absorption. I cut out alcohol and red meat.
Good news Oncology appt for CT scan and blood results blood all stable and only 2×1.2cm tumours now active. New uk oncologist and told her about my Frankfurt : TACE treatment and totally supportive – I’ve never dared mention it before as in the uk they can then immediately stop treatment and scans / bloods which I need to monitor everything. Tumour markers down again from 94 to 72 … I’m continuing to improve despite the odds and I’m beyond grateful As always a huge thank you to all my friends and family for their continued positivity, love and support even when I’m a cowbag Above a pic of todays juice to show how healthy I’m trying to be … it’s a lifelong path now … with a little chocolates along the way
The sun and air were just perfect today
A hike through the woods, soaking in the rhythm of nature—and reconnecting with the best version of myself
This wasn’t just a hike. It’s a lifestyle: wellness, discipline, and beauty in harmony.
I installed a sauna in my house and used it several times a week to detox. I hired an oxygen chamber and started hyperbaric therapy. I switched to filtered water, practiced Zen Buddhism, and committed to mindfulness. I trained my mind as hard as my body.
Over 11 months, I underwent 11 TACE sessions. Each trip cost around $6,790, but it was worth every penny. After each one, I had an MRI. My tumors shrank by roughly 10 percent each time. After the second session, the tumor in my lung vanished.
To all my friends and family I just wanted to share the amazing news that after my microwave ablation in Germany on Thursday and my contrast MRI this morning, Prof Vogl advised that I am a walking miracle (he’s the miracle worker not me!!) and he has never ever seen such a response to treatment. He’s one of the world’s best.
Even my U.K. oncologist, who was initially skeptical, was amazed by the progress; however, they had no idea until February 2024. I had to come clean as I got sepsis for the third time, and I stopped oral chemotherapy as it was too much for my body. But my oncologist told me they now supported my choice.
I crossed my fingers before my appointment with Vogl, hoping for the all-clear and I got it.
Now I’m reclaiming my glam. Laura Pearce
In April 2024, scans showed the cancer had stopped spreading through my pelvis, spine, hips, and ribs. In August, after my final TACE session, I was scheduled for microwave ablation—a treatment reserved for when tumors are nearly gone.
It is a minimally invasive procedure that uses high-frequency microwave energy to generate heat, which destroys cancerous tumors and cells. The term “ablation” refers to the destruction or removal of tissue, and “microwave” refers to the method of energy delivery.
After the procedure, Vogl’s assistant said something I’ll never forget.
“It was a perfect procedure and perfect result,” as the tumor had completely gone.
I wept.
My blood-cancer markers—which had once been over 5,000—have dropped into the 70s, and my last test showed a CA 15-3 of 29 (which is within the normal range of <30 U/mL for this tumor marker that is mainly used to monitor breast cancer treatment or recurrence, though it can also be elevated in other cancers or noncancerous conditions like endometriosis and autoimmune diseases).
Vogl and my oncologist believe this dramatic result could be due to the abscopal effect—an incredibly rare immune response where local cancer treatment triggers the immune system to eliminate tumors elsewhere in the body. It’s rare, but not impossible. I believe the strength of my immune system played a role.
My last treatment was in September 2024.
I am still living with complications—particularly ascites, a fluid buildup in the abdomen linked to a compromised liver. I drain a liter of it each day. But I’ve lived with it for 20 months. My UK oncologist says he’s never seen someone survive this long with it.
So this is my hero, the man who has saved my life, the man who says I’m a miracle, a world expert, leader and pioneer at the forefront of radiology and chemotherapy, who has just done a CT and MRI scan with contrast and given me the best news. He said he thought I’d need treatment today after a 3 month break and I’m sitting on a bomb, but today I’m ALL CLEAR! My TACE process and checkups with Prof Vogl are one of the scariest yet most positive things in my life – and at least I still have a life thanks to this genius Thomas J. Vogl#tace#frankfurt#cancersurvivor
Forever grateful Last year I didn’t expect to see Christmas, this year I’ll be having the best Christmas ever
I had a scan in Germany at the start of this month, and I was given the all-clear. It seems I have achieved the impossible with TACE and a holistic approach to support my body through recovery.
But I no longer let cancer define my life. I don’t want my children to remember their teenage years as one long hospital stay.
I cook, clean, drive, and do school runs. I train with a personal trainer three times a week to rebuild muscle after being bed bound. I’m no longer trying to be perfect—just present.
I regularly share my journey on TikTok at @lauralucy72, where my videos often go viral and have even reached millions of views. I want people to know they have options. Traveling overseas for treatment can be expensive, and I understand not everyone has the money. But if people don’t know these options exist, they lose the chance to try to fundraise or find the resources they need.
Cut, burn or poison it away for cancer patients. This is beside the point …my point is doing it this way without supplementation is purely barbaric. chemocare.com – Search

Leading liver specialists if not the best and today he gave me the unbelievable news THAT MY CANCER IS GONE AND ANY TINY BITS LEFT ARE TOTALLY INACTIVE. I’m still very tired and weak but this is something I can work on now.
Gratitude is not a big enough or strong enough word to express how I feel, relief, joy, disbelief … it’s all mixed up.
I know I have a long path ahead to rebuild my health and strength but now I feel I have a true chance of being here to be a Mum and Nan for a lot longer than I could have dared to hope.
From late stage 4 with 80 percent liver metastasis, cancer in lung and bones and hospice care offered, to the scan I had today is beyond anything any of us could have hoped and prayed for. I’ll never take it for granted and every day is precious.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me through this, you wonderful people know who you are For anyone on this journey, believe you can do it, the body and mind are wonderful things and never let anyone tell you there is no hope
When a group of Spanish journalists embarked on a 2,500-kilometer journey across Europe, their mission seemed clear: test the viability of electric cars on long-distance trips.
But after their trek from Berlin to Madrid, the team returned with an unexpected conclusion. The future of electric cars, it seems, is not quite ready to dethrone traditional vehicles for those in search of a cost-effective and practical option on the road.
he advent of electric vehicles (EVs) has been heralded as a major leap forward in the quest for clean, sustainable transportation. The image of silent, pollution-free cars gliding down city streets offers a seductive vision of an environmentally friendly future.
But beneath the surface of this green revolution lies a complex web of environmental, economic, and geopolitical implications that challenge the simplistic narrative of EVs as the unalloyed good for our planet.
From there, they set out in two Tesla models, the Model Y Long Range RWD and the Model 3 Highland, both with Long Range versions designed for extended travel.
The goal was to assess how these electric vehicles stacked up against their diesel counterparts, particularly for long trips. The team’s route would take them through several European countries, ultimately ending in Madrid, offering ample opportunity to compare the costs and practicality of electric vs. diesel.
Testing the Real-World Efficiency
The journalists’ experiment was straightforward: drive the electric cars the same distance as a typical long-distance road trip while stopping every 200 to 300 kilometers for recharging. The trip allowed the team to experience firsthand the potential challenges of recharging an electric vehicle in real-world conditions.
They primarily used Tesla’s Supercharger network but also explored other public charging stations. As they went from one stop to the next, they were constantly evaluating the time spent charging and the cost of electricity at each stop.
Despite the reliability of Tesla’s Superchargers, which provided a fast and efficient recharging experience, the team found themselves in frequent discussion over the challenges electric car users face.
One major factor they couldn’t ignore:
The time spent waiting for the vehicles to recharge was often far longer than the time it would take to fill up a diesel car at a fuel station. This was particularly evident as they navigated through areas where charging stations were sparse or less efficient.
The Cost of Recharging: Diesel’s Financial Edge
When the journey came to an end, the team sat down to crunch the numbers. According to data from the European Union’s official fuel price reports, the costs associated with recharging the Teslas were significantly higher than refueling a diesel vehicle.
Over the course of 2,500 kilometers, recharging the electric vehicles cost them €53.62 more than if they had fueled a comparable diesel car. This cost discrepancy grew even more when comparing the electric vehicles to a gasoline car, with the electric vehicles’ total fuel cost exceeding the gasoline vehicle’s by €136.61.
The study underscored a stark reality for electric car enthusiasts: while electric vehicles are often advertised as more affordable to fuel, long-distance trips could incur unexpected costs—particularly if fast-charging options like Tesla’s Superchargers are used.
Charging Infrastructure
While the cost of recharging was a concern, the type of charging infrastructure also played a significant role in the overall experience. Superchargers, known for their speed, are an expensive option. The journalists realized that opting for slower charging stations could reduce the overall cost of the trip, but it would also mean adding more time to the journey. The infrastructure of charging stations across Europe remains a work in progress.
While fast-charging options are becoming more widespread, they often come at a premium. This challenge becomes particularly apparent when traveling across countries with varying electricity prices. The team’s findings suggested that for drivers to get the best value out of their electric vehicles, they may need to carefully strategize their charging stops, balancing speed, cost, and convenience.
Diesel’s Practicality: Speed and Convenience
Despite the higher fuel costs, the diesel vehicles proved to be far more practical for the long-distance journey. The speed of refueling with diesel far outpaced the recharging times of the electric vehicles. This was a crucial advantage also for the team, especially considering the nature of their trip. Diesel vehicles are widely available across Europe, and refueling stations are common, meaning the team could stop at any point and resume their journey without significant delays.
Though electric vehicles may offer lower maintenance costs and environmental benefits in the long run, the benefits of a diesel vehicle—speed and convenience—were clear. The team noted that for long-distance travel, diesel vehicles are likely to remain the preferred choice for most drivers in the foreseeable future, at least until the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles becomes more widespread and efficient.
Even Reporters Admit EVs Don’t Beat Internal Combustion
A group of journalists started at the Tesla factory in Berlin, and drove 2 vehicles from there to Madrid.
When a group of Spanish journalists embarked on a 2,500-kilometer journey across Europe, their mission seemed clear: test the viability of electric cars on long-distance trips. But after their trek from Berlin to Madrid, the team returned with an unexpected conclusion.
The future of electric cars, it seems, is not quite ready to dethrone traditional vehicles for those in search of a cost-effective and practical option on the road.
The cost of recharging was higher than what a comparable vehicle would have paid for either gas or diesel. Over the course of 2,500 kilometers, recharging the electric vehicles cost them €53.62 more than if they had fueled a comparable diesel car.
This cost discrepancy grew even more when comparing the electric vehicles to a gasoline car, also with the electric vehicles’ total fuel cost exceeding the gasoline vehicles by €136.61.
The charging infrastructure is also lacking. They were driving Tesla vehicles, and when they could find a Tesla supercharger, things were good. They couldn’t always find a Tesla charger however.
Superchargers, known for their speed, are an expensive option.
The journalists realized that opting for slower charging stations could reduce the overall cost of the trip, but it would also mean adding more time to the journey.
So will that extra time equate to a motel stay?
The article still parrots the idea that electric vehicles are better for the environment. Pay no attention to the environmental devastation caused by lithium mining in South America, or nickel mining in Indonesia, or child labor mining cobalt in Africa. The fact is that EVs don’t work for everyone.

1. **Donate to local charities**: Many organizations are on the ground providing relief to those impacted by the floods. Consider donating to local charities that are working directly with affected families.
2. **Volunteer your time**: If you’re in the area, look for opportunities to volunteer with rescue efforts or local organizations providing support. Every little bit helps.
3. **Spread awareness**: Share information about the flooding and the need for assistance on social media. The more people know about the situation, the more support can be mobilized.
4. **Check in on loved ones**: Reach out to friends and family in the affected areas to see how they’re doing. Sometimes, just knowing someone cares can make a world of difference.
Looking ahead
As the rain finally begins to ease, the focus will shift to recovery and rebuilding in the Texas Hill Country. It’s crucial for the community to come together to support one another, addressing both immediate needs and long-term recovery efforts. The road ahead may be challenging, but with resilience, hope, and collective action, the community can rebuild stronger than before.
In times of crisis, it’s essential to remember the power of unity and compassion. The Texas Hill Country will need all the support it can get as it navigates the aftermath of this devastating event. Each person’s contribution, no matter how small, can help bring about healing and recovery.
As we keep those affected by the floods in our thoughts and prayers, let’s also take action to support them in any way we can. Whether through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading the word, every effort counts in the journey toward recovery.
Prayer for Healing, Restoration, and Unity Amid Disaster.

Join me in this prayer for healing, resilience, and renewal as we stand together in faith, supporting those in need and trusting in God’s mercy. Pray with me to prevent the future.
The expression “Caught by the Grace of God” conveys a sense of gratitude or acknowledgment that something good has occurred, often unexpectedly or against the odds, and is attributed to a higher power’s favor or intervention 1. The phrase is often used in religious contexts, such as in the Bible, where it signifies redemption and salvation 2.
Nine PBS on Instagram: “The EF3 tornado that hit St. Louis on May 16 injured at least 38 people, including 20-year-old Mya Grimes. N Grimes was swept away from her car by the tornado while home for summer break from Jackson State University. Bing Videos
Jackson State University athlete Mya Grimes is known for her strength and resilience as a standout in the long jump, triple jump, and high jump. But nothing could have prepared the 20-year-old HBCU track star for the life-threatening ordeal she faced when an EF3 tornado tore through St. Louis on May 16.
Grimes, a rising senior, was driving home when powerful winds suddenly engulfed her car. “My dad called and told me to just get home. I was trying,” she said in a harrowing interview with KMOV-TV. As the storm intensified, her vehicle was tossed violently, spinning out of control before the windshield shattered. Grimes was ejected from the car, tumbling nearly 40 yards before landing near the intersection of Union and Washington.
Bloodied and disoriented, she crawled through the debris until she found a metal pole to cling to for safety. “I was just trying to make it,” she said. Miraculously, an ambulance spotted her moments later and rushed her to the hospital. She escaped with cuts and burns, but no broken bones.
Her mother, who had been on the phone when the storm struck, described the moment as terrifying. “It’s nothing short of a miracle,” she said. The family is now sharing Mya’s story as a testament to God’s grace and St. Louis’s resilience.
Grimes’s courage and survival reflect the determination she brings to the track — a true embodiment of strength both on and off the field. Her story is a powerful reminder of faith, perseverance, and the enduring spirit of HBCU student-athletes at Jackson State University.
Mya Grimes didn’t know May 16th would be the day her life would change forever.
A 20-year-old sophomore at Jackson State University, Mya was just trying to make it home. Her classes were done. Her week was full. And like any college student balancing books, dreams, and destiny, she was looking forward to rest.
But heaven had already scheduled a miracle.
As she drove through the streets of St. Louis that day, the weather turned quickly. Dark skies rolled in. The atmosphere shifted. Winds picked up with a voice of their own. In what felt like moments, an EF3 tornado was upon her—screaming through the city with 152-mile-per-hour winds.
“I didn’t even see it coming,” Mya later said. “It just… happened. One moment I was driving. The next, I was fighting for my life.”
The tornado shattered her car windows. It forced the driver’s side door wide open. Though Mya was wearing her seatbelt, the storm still pulled her from the vehicle. Thrown 40 yards down the road—yes, forty—her body collided with the street, glass, and debris. Her skin was cut. Her spirit was shaken. But her soul was still anchored.
And just before she was ripped from the car, Mya did something powerful: she picked up the phone and called her mother.
Three chilling words made it through the line: “It’s taking me.”
For any mother, that call would’ve been paralyzing. For Tina Grimes, Mya’s mom, it was both heartbreaking and divine. Because although her daughter’s voice was trembling—her voice was still alive.
And somehow, Mya held on.
With adrenaline pumping and the storm still roaring, she clung to a nearby light pole—bloodied, bruised, but breathing. She doesn’t even remember how she got there. Some might call it instinct. But we call it intercession. The Holy Spirit covered what her hands couldn’t.
When first responders arrived, they were stunned. The paramedic told her, “You’re lucky to be alive.” But Mya wasn’t lucky—she was covered. Heaven had already assigned angels to surround her.
Her injuries included deep cuts from shattered glass and trauma from being dragged across pavement—but she walked away. Not just physically, but spiritually—she walked away with purpose, with power, and with a new level of praise.
“This wasn’t just a storm,” Mya shared. “It was a wake-up call. It reminded me that I have a reason to be here. I’ve got something I’m supposed to do with my life.” Bing Videos
I love this and so glad God spared her life!!! Amen!!!
The Bigger Picture: When God Preserves the Young
Mya’s miracle isn’t just about survival—it’s about preservation. At only 20 years old, her life is now stamped with oil. What she went through should’ve taken her out. The storm should’ve silenced her. But God had another plan.
There are women twice her age still trying to find the courage to tell their story—and yet this young woman is standing in the middle of her trauma, declaring the goodness of God.
Her journey reminds us of a powerful truth: you don’t have to be old to be anointed. You don’t have to be seasoned to be selected. And you don’t have to be perfect to be protected.
She didn’t have time to pray a fancy prayer. She didn’t quote 10 scriptures. She didn’t have her oil in hand. But what she did have was a praying mama, a call on her life, and a God who was not finished with her yet.
Whether you’re 20 or 60, your survival isn’t random. You were kept for a reason. Some of you were tossed emotionally. Others were dragged through financial winds, betrayal, or burnout. But just like Mya, you didn’t break—you bent. You didn’t die—you developed.
So the next time you wonder if your story matters—remember Mya. A college student, thrown from her car by a tornado… and still here to tell the story.
The storm might’ve thrown her. But grace caught her.
Jane McLelland – Search Videos beat cervical, lung, and blood cancers using the missing link to defeat cancer: starving it. She is partnering with Life Extension® to help other patients achieve the same results.
Scientifically reviewed by Dr. Gary Gonzalez, MD, in October 2024. Written by: Laurie Mathena.
McLelland was reluctant about writing her book, but she felt she had a duty to share with the world what she had discovered—and what had saved her life.
Jane McLelland shouldn’t be alive.
According to doctors and cancer statistics, she should have lived only about 12 weeks after receiving her diagnosis of stage IV cancer.
But McLelland refused to go down without a fight. Taking matters into her own hands, she dug through medical journals, poring over long-forgotten research and overlooked evidence, looking for clues to overcoming her cancer.
Along the way, she discovered a missing link to defeating cancer: starving it. Based on this concept, she developed her own cancer-starving cocktail—utilizing diet, supplements, and off-label drugs—that proved to be more effective than any current cancer treatment.
Now, 18 years later, after suffering from cervical cancer, secondary lung cancer, and treatment-related myelodysplasia, she is alive, well, and cancer-free.
And she has made it her life’s mission to help other cancer patients achieve the same results.
This is Jane’s remarkable story.
Strike One: Jane’s First Cancer Diagnosis
You have cervical cancer.
When Jane McLelland first heard the devastating news, she was only 30 years old. Just three days later, she underwent a complete, radical hysterectomy, followed by months of chemotherapy and radiation.
A cancer diagnosis was terrifying enough, but what McLelland struggled with most was the fact that she would never be able to have her own biological children.
“I was massively depressed. With cervical cancer, it’s not just about having a lump cut off,” she said. “Knowing that I would never have my own children was utterly devastating.”
What made the diagnosis even more tragic was the fact that McLelland’s doctor had misdiagnosed her for years. Since cervical cancer is highly treatable in its early stages, her tragedy could have been avoided.
After treatment, McLelland believed she was out of the woods. But two short years later, her mother’s cancer diagnosis was the wake-up call she needed.
A Wake-up Call
In 1996, McLelland’s mother received her own devastating news: She had stage IV breast cancer.
After an initial breast cancer diagnosis and treatment a few years earlier, the cancer had come back with a vengeance, and she died within a few months.
But McLelland says that her mother’s death is what ultimately saved her life.
“My mother’s cancer was a huge wake-up call to me to re-evaluate the situation I’d found myself in. For the first time ever, I realized I was only one step away from terminal cancer,” McLelland said. “That’s when I started looking at diet and supplementation in more detail as a way to combat cancer.”
In the early stages of her research, McLelland first learned that glucose feeds most cancers and that IGF-1 (an insulin-like growth factor hormone found in high levels in dairy and meat) also helped to drive its growth.
So, she modified her diet, cutting out simple carbohydrates and removing dairy and most meat. She cut out foods like potatoes and tomatoes because they caused an inflammatory reaction in her body (and she had learned that inflammation was a driving force for cancer). She also started drinking green tea, juicing, and taking numerous supplements.
Unfortunately, just a few months later, Jane started coughing up blood, and found out that her worst nightmare had come true: Her cervical cancer had spread to her lungs.
She now had stage IV, terminal cancer.
Strike Two
Just like the cervical cancer, Jane’s lung cancer was initially misdiagnosed (this time as a chest infection). But the benefit of having the improperly read X-ray from four months prior—along with the properly diagnosed X-ray—was the ability to see the rate at which the cancer was growing.
McLelland had repeatedly been told that diet had no impact on cancer, but the fact that her lung tumor had remained the size of a golf ball—and the fact that there were no tumors in other locations in her body—proved to her that the dietary changes she had already made were making a difference.
“You could see that my approach had slowed the tumor’s growth,” said McLelland. “I may have had that tumor for a long time. That was actually quite reassuring for me.”
This time, Jane would not be rushed into a hasty treatment decision. She delayed surgery and dove even deeper into cancer research. That’s when she learned that in order to fully eradicate her cancer, she’d have to attack it in a different way: by starving it.
Starving Cancer
The idea behind starving cancer cells is nothing new. In 1931, Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel Prize for his discovery that cancer cells have an altered metabolism. Since then, more research has expanded on his initial studies, and has revealed that cancer cells require a tremendous amount of three fuel sources in order to survive: glucose, glutamine (an amino acid), and lipids.
Mainstream medicine ignores this simple fact, focusing instead on using chemotherapy and radiation therapy to target the tumor’s abnormal, fast-dividing cells. Given that chemotherapy often has poor outcomes for stage IV cancer, McLelland determined that she had to attack her cancer from two fronts: starve the cancer’s stem cells, and then kill them when they’re in a weakened state. Cancer stem cells are dangerous because they are more resistant to conventional treatment and are capable of producing new malignant cells that are more difficult to eradicate.
This one-sided approach is why mainstream treatments can appear to work for a time, only to have the cancer come back more aggressively in the future. It is also why the percentage of positive outcomes in a stage IV patient is, too often, zero.
On the other hand, starving the cancer by cutting off the supply to its three main fuel sources attacks the elusive stem cell. Based on that research, McLelland determined that she had to attack her cancer from two fronts: starve the cancer’s stem cells, and then kill them when they’re in a weakened state.
Jane McLelland’s Key Cancer-Starving Supplements:
Quercetin
Silibinin
Berberine
Polydatin
Vitamin C
Vitamin D
Indole-3-carbinol
Curcumin
Ursolic acid
EGCG (green tea)
Sodium selenite
Niacin*
Hydroxycitrate
Sea buckthorn oil
Omega-3 fish oils
Bergamot
Luteolin
Artemisinin (pulsed)
Working Together
McLelland underwent surgery to remove the tumor in her lung, and she endured six months of chemo (at a much lower dose than that recommended by her oncologist). But this time, she also employed a strategy to starve the cancer’s stem cells.
Her diet and numerous supplements were already helping on that front—particularly berberine, hydroxycitrate, gymnema, curcumin, niacin, and pycnogenol—all of which were inhibiting key pathways that are abnormal in cancer. She also underwent treatment with high-dose intravenous vitamin C.
“Intravenous vitamin C has been shown to target cancer stem cells, the original cancer cells that are responsible for chemo and radiotherapy resistance, because it stops a key step in the process of glycolysis, effectively starving the cancer as well as triggering apoptosis, or cell death,” said McLelland. “It helps block off one of cancer’s main energy supply lines.”
To her doctor’s utter amazement, it appeared that McLelland had beaten the odds once again. Nine months later, she was not only alive, but her cancer blood markers were good.
Those months turned into years of living cancer-free.
Still, McLelland lived with the constant realization that her cancer could always come back. And four years later, it did.
Strike Three
McLelland’s cervical cancer markers were in the normal range. But in 2003, she received yet another death sentence: treatment-related myelodysplasia, a form of bone marrow mutation that may progress to leukemia.
What had gone wrong?
“I couldn’t understand why I was controlling one cancer without controlling the other,” said McLelland. “But it’s all about metabolism. The metabolism of my leukemia was totally different from that of my cervical cancer. So, with my low glycemic index diet, I was controlling the cervical cancer, but I wasn’t controlling the leukemia, which instead thrives on proteins.”
She had to cut off the fuel supply line to this new cancer. In order to do that, she would need to bring in the “big guns”—off-label drugs. In doing so, she serendipitously reduced the nutrient supply to her first cancer as well.
McLelland’s Big Guns
McLelland discovered that there were numerous drugs on the market designed for other purposes (like heart disease or infections) that could go beyond diet and supplements to effectively cut off cancer’s various fuel lines. These drugs are considered “off-label,” since they were developed for conditions other than cancer.
The first big gun was a cardiovascular drug called dipyridamole, which stops protein from getting into the cancer cell, a key factor in starving leukemia, according to McLelland.
This was exactly what she needed, McLelland decided.
She made another critical finding when she picked up an issue of Life Extension® Magazine that she says played a key role in saving her life.
From Life Extension, she learned about a novel combination of a statin (lovastatin) plus a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (etodolac).
“I already knew that statins would be potentially useful against cervical cancer. But research had also shown that they caused apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemias. I also had overlooked the fact that NSAIDs could cause cell death (apoptosis),” said McLelland. “What I learned from the Life Extension article was that there was a synergy between the two drugs, making them far more potent when taken together.”
She later learned that statins also block the cell surface receptor Glut1, which is used by most cancers to access more glucose. Another key, off-label drug McLelland learned about from reading Life Extension was the diabetes drug, metformin. Metformin is critical for starving cancer because it cuts off cancer’s supply to glucose & insulin and reduces IGF-1.
“I recognized that Life Extension was ahead of its time. It was providing information that nobody else seemed to be providing, and piecing together research and reporting on it before anybody else did,” said McLelland. “Life Extension really was instrumental in helping me survive.”
Years later, she also discovered the anti-cancer effects of the antibiotic doxycycline (which slows the creation of new cancer cells) and of the anti-worming drug mebendazole (which stops the cancer cells from being able to take on more glucose).
“All of these drugs are cheap and off-patent, which is why they have largely been ignored by the pharmaceutical industry, despite research supporting their effectiveness against cancer,” said McLelland.
According to McLelland, drugs like these are necessary because cancer cells rely on the same fuel the rest of your body requires to live. You can cut down on glucose, protein, and fat, but you can’t remove enough from your diet to starve the cancer cells without starving your own body in the process. These drugs solve that problem because they allow your body to access the nutrients it needs, while blocking the cancer’s access to them.
After intensive research, McLelland concluded that all of these drugs would starve the cancer from different angles: dipyridamole cut off cancer’s access to protein, metformin cut off access to glucose, and the statin cut off access to fat. Once the cancer cells were in their weakened state, the addition of etodolac could help finish them off.
McLelland believed she had finally found out how to beat her cancer once and for all. And her test results proved her right. Blood tests revealed that her TM2PK tumor markers (a marker of abnormal glycolysis) had dropped from 397 to 21.5—just slightly above a “normal” reading of 15.
She had done the impossible. Her cocktail of cheap, off-label drugs—in addition to diet and supplementation—had halted the progression of myelodysplasia.
Spreading the Word
In 2018, McLelland chronicled her cancer journey—including detailed information on her science-backed approach to cancer—in her book, How to Starve Cancer Without Starving Yourself.
McLelland was reluctant about writing her book, but she felt she had a duty to share with the world what she had discovered—and what had saved her life.
“I didn’t want to have to relive everything,” said McLelland, “but I knew I had information I had to pass on. It was a social responsibility to provide people with information they weren’t getting elsewhere.”
That information has already saved countless lives.
One man who followed her protocol took his PSA numbers from 1008 down to .67. She’s also helped a stage IV pancreatic cancer patient achieve full remission—another success story unheard of in the medical world.
And a breast cancer patient who was told by her oncologist she was going to die is still alive and well, going to the gym, working as a nurse, and living a full life—all as a result of following McLelland’s approach to starving her cancer.
But McLelland cautioned that we have to start looking at cancer differently.
“People are always looking for the disappearance of tumors, but we have to rethink how we evaluate success with cancer,” she said. “I have a huge number of people following my protocol who still have tumors in their bodies that are no longer growing. Success is not necessarily about getting rid of the tumor. You can live with the tumor quite happily as long as it’s not pressing on something vital.”
Utilizing the Metro Map
McLelland created a diagram depicting her approach to starving cancer that she calls the “Metro Map,” based on an analogy of an underground metro system.
If one tunnel is blocked, the trains will be rerouted through a different tunnel, but will ultimately keep running. Cancer is the same way. If you cut off one fuel source, it will simply “reroute,” using a different source for energy.
McLelland’s system simply boils down to this: You have to cut off all fuel sources at the same time in order to effectively weaken cancer.
Once you’ve done that, killing it becomes much easier,” said McLelland.
She lists several off-label drugs (like chloroquine and loratadine), supplements (like curcumin, resveratrol, and quercetin), and treatments (like intravenous vitamin C, and following a low-glycemic diet). According to McLelland, all have been shown to block one or more of cancer’s three main fuel lines.
However, McLelland cautions that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Her own experience with her various forms of cancer highlight that fact. Instead, McLelland’s approach focuses on learning which fuel sources your particular cancer uses—and then creating a targeted treatment plan based on that information.
In her book, McLelland provides all the information a cancer patient might need to point them in the right direction for developing a protocol to starve their cancer.
“The book is a starting point,” said McLelland.
Not a Death Sentence
Item #34162
For people currently struggling with a cancer diagnosis, McLelland has an important message: Never give up.
“I do believe we already have every drug and every supplement that we need to beat cancer. The key is getting the right combinations to people at the right time,” said McLelland. “Yes, in certain circumstances there can be too much damage to the body from the cancer itself. But if you can get to people before that, I cannot see why patients can’t be rescued even from advanced malignancies. Stage IV cancer should not be a death sentence, in my view.”
McLelland herself is the living, breathing proof of that belief.
Now, 18 years after her initial cancer diagnosis—after battling cervical, lung, and blood cancers—McLelland is living the life of her dreams. She married the love of her life, and through the selflessness of a surrogate, was able to have two sons of her own.
“I didn’t even think I was going to be alive, and I certainly didn’t expect to have a family,” said McLelland. “I have to pinch myself to believe it sometimes.”

Fasting may offer potential benefits in cancer treatment by enhancing the effectiveness of therapies and improving immune responses, but it also carries risks and should be approached cautiously.
Potential Benefits of Fasting in Cancer Treatment
Targeting Cancer Cells: Research suggests that fasting can selectively target cancer cells, making them more vulnerable during treatment. Healthy cells can enter a protective state during fasting, while cancer cells, which cannot adapt as easily, may struggle to survive without nutrients. 1
Enhancing Immune Function: Fasting has been shown to reprogram natural killer cells, a type of immune cell that plays a crucial role in fighting cancer. This reprogramming helps these cells survive in the challenging tumor environment and improves their ability to combat cancer. 1
Metabolic Changes: Fasting can lead to metabolic changes that may help in reducing insulin growth factor (IGF-1) levels, which are associated with increased cancer risk. It may also enhance autophagy, a process that helps clear damaged cells and supports cellular health. 2

Risks and Considerations
Malnutrition: Fasting can lead to malnutrition, especially in cancer patients who may already be at risk due to their condition. This can exacerbate fatigue, slow healing, and negatively impact overall health. 1
Individual Variability: The safety and efficacy of fasting can vary significantly among individuals. Factors such as the type of cancer, treatment regimen, and overall health must be considered. It is crucial for patients to consult with their healthcare team before starting any fasting regimen. 2
Not a Standalone Treatment: While fasting may complement cancer treatment, it should not be viewed as a standalone solution. The adaptability of cancer cells means that simply fasting may not effectively “starve” them, as they can switch to alternative energy sources. 1

Conclusion
Fasting may provide some benefits in the context of cancer treatment, particularly in enhancing the effectiveness of therapies and improving immune responses. However, it is essential for cancer patients to approach fasting with caution and under medical supervision to avoid potential risks such as malnutrition. Consulting with healthcare professionals is crucial to determine the best approach tailored to individual needs and circumstances.
She understood exactly what that diagnosis would mean because, in addition to losing her first husband to brain cancer and battling breast cancer herself, she had dedicated her life to studying brain abnormalities in rats and the frozen brains of humans as the director of the human brain bank at the National Institute of Mental Health.
A Neuroscientist with First-Hand Experience Explains
Barbara’s instincts were right, several melanoma tumors were growing in her prefrontal cortex and over the course of her treatment, there would be as many as 18 at a time. The moment she lost sight of her hand would mark the beginning of a harrowing journey that involved several experimental treatments including surgery, radiation, and an immunotherapy clinical trial. Her diagnosis should have been a death sentence, and many of the treatments came with difficult and painful side effects, but at the time of this writing, Barbara is fortunately in remission.
While new tumors continued to grow, the treatment caused significant brain swelling putting pressure on the prefrontal cortex and mimicking symptoms of the very dementia patients she had studied in her lab. For months, Barbara experiences cognitive changes in many of the same brain areas commonly affected by dementia.
“Dementia is not a specific disease. It’s an overall term that describes a group of symptoms associated with a decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough to reduce a person’s ability to perform everyday activities.” – Alz.org
People with dementia are often unable to describe what their experience feels like, so Dr. Barbara Lipska’s journey is incredible not just because of her recovery, but her ability to tell us exactly what it was like to live with dementia symptoms with the clear hindsight of someone with regained cognitive ability. She has shared her insights by chronicling her experiences in her novel, The Neuroscientist Who Lost Her Mind.
“It was difficult, at first, to pinpoint the changes in my behavior, because they came on slowly. I didn’t suddenly become someone else. Rather, some of my normal traits and behaviors became exaggerated and distorted, as if I were turning into a caricature of myself.” – Barbara Lipska, NYT
Awareness
A recurring theme throughout Barbara’s experience is the fact that despite being expertly trained in the symptoms and what they meant, she was unable to recognize them in herself. It felt like the world, the people around her, even the neighborhood had all changed rather than her perception. This meant that surprisingly, despite a dire diagnosis, Barbara was calm and assured in her sanity and slightly frustrated that everyone else was causing a fuss. The very part of her brain that was affected was also the part that was responsible for letting her know something was wrong. She is able to describe her experiences now with an awareness that simply was not possible while she was experiencing symptoms.
“Strangely, I wasn’t worried. Like so many patients with mental illness, whose brains I had studied for a lifetime, I was losing my grasp on reality.
I felt certain that there was nothing wrong with my brain. This wasn’t just wishful thinking, or extreme denial; my worldview made perfect sense to me. I still saw myself as a scientist — a master of the rational — and was in fact still working hard on other people’s brains, not able to see that my own was crashing.” – Barbara Lipska, NYT
Surprisingly, for Barbara, it was the look on other peoples faces and the changes in independence and routine that caused concern and stress rather than the fear of a progressing disease. That very fact that stopped her from being afraid while she was in danger is the thing that scares her the most now that she is out of harm’s way.
“I lost insight. I lost awareness that I am not behaving normally, which is the most frightening thing now and it will be probably until I die because when it happens again, if it happens again, I will not be able to recognize it.” – Barbara Lipska, Salon
Confusion
In addition to starting with visual hallucinations like the loss of her hand or face-blindness, Barbara had difficulty recognizing things and places she knew well. As an athlete, Barbara loved to run, bike, and swim, but often found herself lost in her own neighborhood or on familiar paths.
“I would read a paragraph and forget it instantly. I got lost driving home from work on a route I had taken for decades. I went running in the woods outside my house, barely dressed.” – Barbara Lipska, NYT
Due to the distorted awareness, she wondered why things had moved or who had moved them rather than accept her own difficulty getting around. This caused mistrust with her loved ones who, she believed, were moving things around in her home in a conspiracy against her. Her overwhelming feelings when confused were more around irritation than fear.
In the tradition of My Stroke of Insight and Brain on Fire,
this powerful memoir recounts Barbara Lipska’s deadly brain cancer and explains its unforgettable lessons about the brain and mind. Neuroscientist Lipska was diagnosed early in 2015 with metastatic melanoma in her brain’s frontal lobe.
Personality Changes
Barbara was always a strong and assertive woman, but as her brain swelled, she became impulsive, impatient, and easily irritated. The focus required to bond with others was simply not possible.
“I had no time for anything — not even for the things that I really enjoyed, like talking to my children and my sister on the telephone. I would cut them off mid sentence, running somewhere to do something of great importance, though what exactly, I couldn’t say. I became rude, and snapped at anyone who threatened to distract me.” – Barbara Lipska, NYT
Although these personality changes were painful for her family, they ultimately saved her life. The people around her were able to try and make sense of the confusion and other symptoms to a point, but the change in her personality caused them to bring her back to the doctor for a scan and discover the extreme swelling in her brain. Although the doctors didn’t ask about personality changes, they were the key to her recovery showing just how important the insights of friends and family can be.
Body-Budgeting
Barbara’s irritability also came from the fact that she had difficulty anticipating the needs of her body. There was no longer a build up towards hunger, fatigue, or even the need to urinate that she had once experienced. With the inability to plan ahead for her body’s needs, urges came on quickly and furiously shutting down her ability to focus on anything else.
For example, once, Barbara became hungry while out with her family. For her, the hunger demanded that she get home and cook dinner and she was unable to think about anything else. Although she experienced confusion in the kitchen and trouble finding things, her family’s offers to help felt like getting in the way of her single focus to solve the problem. She was frustrated and short with them, even though they were presenting solutions to the problem because her body-budget was out of alignment and she simply could not spare the energy to hear them.
It can be emotionally hard on caregivers dealing with dementia patients, particularly when they are members of your own family. It is difficult not to take things personally particularly when the people you love become irritable and short and can’t explain why. Barbara’s memoir helps create context for some of this behavior, the demands on her body and attention.
“The underlying causes of mental illness are rarely as clear as metastatic brain cancer. And yet I felt I understood for the first time what many of the patients I study go through — the fear and confusion of living in a world that doesn’t make sense; a world in which the past is forgotten and the future is utterly unpredictable.” – Barbara Lipska, NYT
Ultimately it is important to remember that mental illness does not always reflect the patient’s full intentions, and certainly not their love for their family, but a wide range of very real demands on their body and mental faculties.
Living with dementia can feel like a gradual unraveling of self, memory, and independence, marked by emotional, cognitive, and social challenges.
Cognitive Changes
Dementia is characterized by a significant decline in cognitive functions, including memory, reasoning, and the ability to perform everyday tasks. Individuals often experience short-term memory loss, confusion, and difficulty with language and conversation. Many describe their experience as living in a constant present, where the past fades and the future feels unreachable. This cognitive decline can lead to feelings of frustration and helplessness as familiar routines become challenging.
The emotional toll of dementia is profound. In the early stages, individuals may sense that something is wrong, leading to feelings of confusion and fear. As the condition progresses, they may experience anxiety, depression, fear of being alone and isolation. The inability to communicate effectively can exacerbate these feelings, leading to withdrawal from social interactions and a sense of loneliness.
Dementia not only affects the individual but also has a significant impact on relationships with family and friends. Caregivers often face a balancing act of providing support while dealing with their own feelings of grief and loss. The changes in behavior and personality can strain relationships, making it difficult for loved ones to understand what the person with dementia is experiencing.
Dr. Barbara Lipska, a neuroscientist who experienced dementia symptoms, described her journey as a slow transformation where her normal traits became exaggerated. She noted that despite her expertise, she struggled to recognize the changes in herself, feeling as if the world around her had changed instead. This highlights the disorienting nature of dementia, where individuals may feel calm and assured in their sanity, even as their cognitive abilities decline.
Programs like the Virtual Dementia Tour allow participants to experience the challenges faced by those with dementia. Participants report feelings of vulnerability, confusion, and frustration when attempting to complete simple tasks in a simulated environment that mimics the sensory overload often experienced by individuals with dementia.
Overall, living with dementia is a complex and deeply emotional experience that varies from person to person. It involves navigating cognitive decline, emotional challenges, and social changes, all of which can significantly impact daily life. Understanding these experiences can foster empathy and support for those affected by dementia and their caregivers.

Most Importantly:Deep dive into extraditing a tick correctly – Images
Lyme disease is one of the most misunderstood and misdiagnosed conditions today.
While many people associate it with a tick bite and a bullseye rash, the reality is far more complex. Symptoms can vary widely, testing is often inaccurate, and for some, the effects of Lyme linger long after treatment.
In this blog, we’ll uncover little-known facts about Lyme disease, explore its impact on mitochondrial health, and discuss holistic approaches that could make all the difference in recovery.
Whether you’re battling Lyme or simply want to be informed, this is essential information you won’t want to miss. For more on this topic, watch the latest episode here.
How Are Lyme Disease Symptoms Not the Same for Everyone?
Many people assume that Lyme disease presents in a predictable way, but symptoms vary widely from person to person. This variability is due in part to mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular energy imbalances caused by the Lyme bacteria (Borrelia burgdorferi).
For instance:
Approximately 7% of people with Lyme disease experience no noticeable symptoms at all.
One in six Lyme patients never develop the classic bullseye rash.
Some may primarily experience fatigue and joint pain, while others may suffer from headaches, neurological symptoms, or cardiovascular issues.
This wide range of symptoms makes Lyme disease difficult to diagnose and often leads to misdiagnosis.
Antibiotics Don’t Always Cure Lyme Disease
Borrelia burgdorferi is a highly adaptable bacteria. Once transmitted through a deer tick or black tick bite, it can evade the immune system and persist in different tissues and organs.
Even after antibiotic treatment, some people continue to experience chronic symptoms because the bacteria can relocate, survive, and multiply. This is one of the reasons why focusing on immune function and mitochondrial repair is critical to overcoming chronic Lyme disease.
What Is The Connection Between Lyme Disease and Mitochondrial Function?
Lyme bacteria hijack energy production: Mitochondria, known as the “powerhouses of the cell,” are responsible for generating the energy needed for cellular function. Borrelia burgdorferi can damage mitochondria, leading to severe fatigue and neurological issues.
Oxidative stress: Lyme disease patients often have elevated levels of mitochondrial superoxide, a reactive oxygen species that damages cells and impairs mitochondrial efficiency.
Neurological impact: Mitochondrial dysfunction can contribute to cognitive difficulties, mood disorders, and neuroinflammation.
Additionally, Lyme disease disrupts the gut microbiome, impacting neurotransmitter production. Biofilms formed by the bacteria can deplete essential nutrients like magnesium, zinc, and iron—nutrients that play a crucial role in neurotransmitter function (dopamine, serotonin, and GABA). These disruptions may lead to cognitive impairment, mood disorders, and even symptoms resembling PTSD.
Lyme Disease: The Hidden Epidemic
Startling Lyme Disease Statistics
The CDC estimates that 476,000 people per year in the U.S. develop Lyme disease, yet only about 60,000 cases are officially reported.
The actual number of cases could be 6 to 12 times higher than reported.
Many cases go undiagnosed or are misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, or autoimmune disorders.
Why Lyme Disease Often Goes Undetected
Symptoms mimic other conditions: Many Lyme patients are misdiagnosed with other chronic illnesses.
Stealth infections: Lyme bacteria can hide in tissues, avoiding immune detection.
Inaccurate testing: Standard Lyme disease tests, like the ELISA and Western blot, are notoriously unreliable, especially in early or chronic Lyme.
Delayed diagnosis: One study found that 54% of patients without a rash were misdiagnosed, and 23% of those with a rash were initially missed.
The Rising Threat of Lyme Disease
According to Johns Hopkins, Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne illness in the U.S., and cases have more than doubled over the past two decades due to:
Increased tick populations
Ecological changes, including climate shifts
Increased global travel
Many people live with Lyme disease for years without knowing it, mistaking symptoms for aging or other chronic conditions.
What Happens if Lyme Disease is Never Treated?
Untreated Lyme disease can have devastating consequences, including:
Posttreatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS): Up to 20% of treated Lyme patients develop long-term symptoms.
Neurological Damage: Brain inflammation can cause memory loss, depression, anxiety, and even dementia-like symptoms.
Lyme Carditis: In rare cases, Lyme bacteria infect the heart, leading to life-threatening complications like cardiac arrest.
Autoimmune Activation: Chronic Lyme can trigger autoimmune conditions like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
The longer Lyme disease persists, the harder it is to treat.

McKenzie Vath, a well-known wellness advocate, battled Lyme for years before turning to holistic therapies like ozone therapy and RIFE treatments, which significantly improved her symptoms.
Case Study 1: Jamie (28-year-old female)
Jamie suffered from anxiety, depression, and fatigue due to undiagnosed Lyme. After 18 months on a comprehensive treatment protocol, she regained mental clarity, left a toxic marriage, and took control of her life.
Case Study 2: Jessica (16-year-old with social difficulties)
Jessica struggled with severe depression and was often misinterpreted as angry due to Lyme-related cranial nerve dysfunction. Once on a Lyme treatment protocol, her energy and social skills improved, and she was finally able to connect with peers.
The Road to Recovery: Healing from Lyme for Good
Lyme disease is often misunderstood and misdiagnosed, leaving many to suffer needlessly.
While antibiotics are a common treatment, chronic Lyme often requires a more comprehensive approach focusing on mitochondrial health, immune balance, and gut restoration.
With the right combination of therapies—including diet, herbal medicine, detox strategies, and alternative therapies—many individuals have been able to regain their health and vitality.
If you suspect you may have Lyme disease or have been struggling with unexplained chronic symptoms, consider a holistic approach to support your recovery and long-term wellness.
The bill, which recently passed the House and is now before the Senate, aims to make Trump-era tax cuts permanent while expanding deductions for families and small businesses.
But the legislation also includes provisions that would dramatically reduce federal spending on Medicare and Medicaid over the next decade.
Budget analysts estimate the bill could lead to:
Over $3 trillion in tax cuts
Roughly $2 trillion in spending reductions to Medicare and Medicaid
Caps on future benefit growth tied to inflation
Supporters argue that these reforms are necessary to reduce the federal deficit and ensure the long-term solvency of entitlement programs. But opponents say they threaten to dismantle essential healthcare protections for millions of Americans.
Seniors and Low-Income Families at Risk
Medicare currently provides health insurance to more than 65 million Americans, mostly seniors. Medicaid, covers about 83 million low-income individuals, including children, people with disabilities, and elderly nursing home residents.
Under the proposed bill:
Medicare Advantage plans may see funding rollbacks, potentially leading to higher premiums or reduced coverage.
Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act could be reversed, leaving millions uninsured.
Cost-sharing requirements may increase, especially for prescription drugs and long-term care services.
Health policy experts warn that such changes would hit seniors, rural communities, and disabled Americans the hardest, undoing decades of bipartisan efforts to protect these populations.
Trump Base Responds With Concern
Many of Trump’s most loyal supporters—older, working-class voters—are expressing alarm over the potential cuts.
“We voted for lower taxes, not to lose our Medicare,” said Carol H., a 74-year-old retiree from Ohio who relies on Medicare for her cancer treatments. “This bill feels like a betrayal.”
Polling from Pew Research and Gallup in May 2025 shows a sharp divide among Republicans: While many still back Trump’s broader economic agenda, a growing number are uneasy with threats to programs they depend on in retirement.
Political Fallout Ahead of 2026 Elections
With the Senate poised for a narrow vote and the 2026 midterms on the horizon, Democrats are seizing on the bill as a major campaign issue.
Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) said the bill “puts Wall Street above Main Street, gutting the programs families rely on to survive.”
Meanwhile, some Republicans are distancing themselves from the bill’s more controversial provisions, with Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) calling for “protections for the most vulnerable Americans.”
What’s Next for Medicare and Medicaid?
The Senate is expected to debate amendments to the bill over the coming weeks. Advocates are urging constituents to call their lawmakers and attend town halls to voice opposition.
If the bill passes unchanged, major structural changes to Medicare and Medicaid could begin as early as Fiscal Year 2026, reshaping healthcare access for tens of millions of Americans.
Stay informed and protect your health. Medicare and Medicaid provide essential coverage for over 150 million Americans — understanding your eligibility, benefits, and upcoming policy changes is vital to maintaining access to care.

Reporting from Washington
Published June 29, 2025 Updated July 1, 2025 Republicans’ marquee domestic policy bill that is making its way through the Senate would result in deeper cuts and more Americans losing health insurance coverage than the original measure that passed the House last month, according to new estimates from the Congressional Budget Office.
According to a report published late Saturday night, the legislation would mean 11.8 million more Americans would become uninsured by 2034. Federal spending on Medicaid, Medicare and Obamacare would be reduced by more than $1.1 trillion over that period — with more than $1 trillion of those cuts coming from Medicaid alone.
The fresh estimates make official what many analysts had already predicted and some Republican lawmakers had feared. The size and scope of the health care cuts in the bill, particularly from Medicaid, have been hotly debated, with fiscal hawks pressing for bigger reductions and other Republicans resisting them as they consider the impact on their constituents and health providers in their districts and states.
They are also at odds with President Trump’s vow not to touch Medicaid except to do away with waste and fraud.
The scale of the proposed reductions in Medicaid is unprecedented in the history of the program, which has tended to expand coverage over time since its creation in 1965.
The cuts in the bill are achieved through numerous provisions, but the bulk of the Medicaid savings come from two big features.
One would establish a new, strict national work requirement for some people on the program, who would need to demonstrate they had worked at least 80 hours the month before they sign up, or qualified for an exemption. The Senate version applies this provision to the poor parents of children older than 14 in addition to childless adults without disabilities, the group targeted by the House version. The budget office estimated that that provision alone would reduce federal spending by more than $325 billion over the decade.
The second big source of savings comes from new restrictions on a strategy many states use to finance Medicaid, by imposing taxes on medical providers to leverage a larger federal contribution. The bill’s restrictions on provider taxes and a related mechanism known as state directed payments would cut spending by a combined $375 billion, according to the report. The House bill would freeze the tax rate for most states, but the Senate version would require many states to lower their existing taxes, beginning in 2027.
The provider tax provisions are controversial among senators. Several who represent states with poor, rural populations have objected to the scale of the cuts, including Senators Susan Collins of Maine, Josh Hawley of Missouri, and Thom Tillis of North Carolina. Senate leaders added a last-minute provision Saturday to try to alleviate that concern — a $25 billion fund to support rural health care providers.
But Mr. Tillis voted against a procedural move to advance the bill on Saturday, citing the Medicaid effects as too extreme for his state, and said he would oppose the bill. Mr. Hawley, who voted in favor of taking up the bill, said he would back the measure even as he denounced the Medicaid cuts as “bad.”
The specifics of the legislation remain in flux. The Senate’s parliamentarian, who is reviewing provisions to ensure they comply with the chamber’s rules, is continuing to evaluate a few health care provisions.
Just Sunday morning, she ruled that several health care provisions violated the rules.
Her ruling included two that would cause more spending on Medicare and Medicaid in Alaska and Hawaii,, according to the Senate Budget Committee. Republicans had added them in part to win over Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who had raised concerns about the Medicaid cuts and who voted on Saturday night to take up the bill.
The parliamentarian also identified problems with several provisions that would increase paperwork requirements for people enrolling in Medicaid, and the repeal of a regulation that would require a minimum staffing ratio in nursing homes paid by Medicaid.
Just after the late-night procedural vote to bring up the bill, Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who had initially voted to block it but then switched at the last moment, toldreporters that he would propose an amendment that would cut Medicaid even further. His proposal would slowly reduce federal spending on people who have become eligible for Medicaid because of an expansion created by the Affordable Care Act. That change, if it were added, would likely increase the size of the cuts substantially and add to the number of Americans who would lose Medicaid coverage.
While the Senate’s passage is a major win for President Trump and GOP leadership, the bill’s future remains uncertain. The House of Representatives must now reconcile its own version with the Senate’s amendments—a process complicated by deep divisions within the Republican caucus. Speaker Mike Johnson can afford to lose only three GOP votes if he hopes to pass the bill along party lines.
Fiscal conservatives in the House are alarmed by the projected increase in the national debt, while moderates are uneasy about the deep cuts to Medicaid and nutrition assistance. With the July 4 deadline looming, the coming days will determine whether the “big, beautiful bill” becomes law or stalls in the face of intraparty resistance.
Key Takeaways
The “big, beautiful bill” passed the Senate by a single vote, with Vice President Vance breaking the tie.
Only three Republican senators—Tillis, Paul, and Collins—voted against the bill, joining all Democrats in opposition.
The measure now faces a challenging path in the House, where GOP unity is far from assured.
By Stella Nolan Norway’s record 96.9% EV market share offers crucial lessons on policy consistency, charging infrastructure & consumer incentives to accelerate adoption. The EV revolution is well underway, with Norway leading the charge globally.
With an unprecedented 96.9% EV market share achieved in January 2025, Norway has set a benchmark that other countries are eager to emulate. Adam Rodgers, Global Business Development Director at Easee, brings nearly a decade of experience in the EV and mobility space to shed light on Norway’s success and what it means for the global EV transition.
Adam Rodgers, Global Business Development Director at Easee
Norway’s incentive programme: A blueprint for success Norway’s world-leading EV adoption rate results from a strategic, long-term approach to incentivisation. “Norway’s world-leading EV adoption rate of 96.9% in January 2025 is the result of a long-term and well-structured incentive programme that focuses on creating a seamless transition,” explains Adam.
The Nordic nation’s approach has been multi-faceted, combining financial incentives with practical advantages that make EV ownership genuinely appealing. Adam points out that “Norway’s financial incentives included reduced import duties between 1990 to 2022 and certain exemptions from VAT, significantly reducing the upfront buying cost compared to other vehicles.”
Beyond fiscal measures, Norway implemented everyday benefits that enhanced the EV ownership experience. “Practical incentives, such as access to bus lanes, reduced toll fees and preferential parking, make EV ownership not just the affordable and sustainable option, but genuinely advantageous in day-to-day life,” Adam highlights.
Policy consistency: The cornerstone of consumer confidence
A critical factor in Norway’s success has been the unwavering commitment to EV-friendly policies regardless of political changes. “One of the most critical factors in Norway’s success has been consumer confidence in government policies. Despite changes in government, the policy has remained consistent, offering clear direction to the industry and consumers,” notes Adam.
The consistency starkly contrasts the approach seen in other countries like the UK, where policy shifts have created uncertainty. “By comparison, in the UK, the date for the ban on ICE vehicles shifted backwards, before being brought forward again to the original 2030 deadline,” Adam observes.
The lesson is clear: “The Norwegian model shows that government support plays a critical role in fast-tracking the uptake of EVs. Continuity of policy and government-led support for electrification is vital to build long-term consumer confidence.”
Kristine Bu, General Secretary of the Norwegian EV Association Adam’s sentiment echoes Kristine Bu, General Secretary of the Norwegian EV Association, who praised Norway’s long-term strategy for transitioning to electric mobility. Reflecting on the country’s progress, she stated, “The goal set by the Storting (Norwegian parliament) in 2016 has been like a beacon that has led us in the right direction”.
Charging infrastructure: The backbone of EV adoption
Norway’s impressive charging network has been instrumental in alleviating range anxiety and supporting widespread EV adoption. “One of the biggest factors behind Norway’s success is its extensive charging infrastructure, which supports an effortless charging experience. The country has 447 chargers per 100,000 people versus just 89 per 100,000 in the UK,” Adam explains.
The contrast with other nations is striking. While the UK has made progress, with public charging points increasing from 28,500 in 2022 to more than 75,000 as of February 2025, geographical disparities remain problematic. “London has 250 charging devices per 100,000 people compared to Northern Ireland with just 36 per 100,000 people,” points out Adam.
Private companies have been pivotal in building robust networks.
“In Norway, Easee, for example, has installed almost 300,000 chargers,” Adam adds, highlighting the role that businesses like his own have played in supporting infrastructure development.
“In Norway, Easee, for example, has installed almost 300,000 chargers.”
Barriers to adoption in other markets Despite Norway’s success, EV market penetration elsewhere lags significantly. “Norway’s high EV market share contrasts sharply with other countries, for example, in 2024, 13.6% in Europe and 6% in the US,” notes Adam.
Several key barriers continue to impede adoption:
Cost concerns: While the initial purchase price of EVs has been a deterrent, the market is evolving. “A new study revealed that used fuel engines are on average US$3,317 more expensive than EV models of the same age, mileage and manufacturer, which means motorists could save money by opting for a secondhand EV rather than its combustion engine equal,” Adam explains.
Charging infrastructure gaps: “Charging infrastructure is another major challenge. Whilst Norway has built a vast network of chargers and is now focusing on expanding its fast-charging stations, other countries, such as the UK, have a way to go to build their initial charging infrastructure,” says Adam.
Consumer education: Misunderstandings about EV technology remain prevalent. “Many people are still hesitant to switch to EVs due to misconceptions about charging times, battery lifespan and overall reliability. Governments and manufacturers must do more to educate consumers about the benefits of EVs whilst addressing concerns,” Adam advises.
Looking ahead: The next 12-18 months
The coming year and a half will be pivotal for global EV adoption. In the UK, progress is evident, but challenges remain. “Looking ahead, the next 12 to 18 months will be critical for the global EV market. In the UK, it is incredibly positive to see battery EVs holding a 23.7% market share. The Labour government’s reinstatement of the 2030 ICE ban offered the clarity the industry needed to make progress,” Adam observes.
The secondhand EV market offers particular promise for broadening access.
“We are at a pivotal stage in the EV transition, witnessing a significant rise of secondhand EVs in the market. In January 2025 secondhand EVs contributed for 17% of car dealers’ stock,” notes Adam. “With more EVs on the market, affordability will improve, creating greater accessibility to the benefits of electrification to a broader range of motorists.”
Norway’s remarkable success in EV adoption provides valuable lessons for countries worldwide. Through consistent policy support, comprehensive incentives and robust charging infrastructure, Norway demonstrated a near-complete transition to EVs is achievable.
As Adam highlights, the key to success is making the transition “effortless” for consumers. It requires a holistic approach that addresses financial barriers, practical concerns and education gaps. With the right strategies, other nations can accelerate their EV revolutions and move closer to a sustainable transportation future.
Norway offers both inspiration and practical guidance for countries like the U.K. with ambitious targets such as the 2030 ICE ban. Also, the global shift to EVs can gain the momentum needed to address transportation’s climate impact by applying these lessons and maintaining consistent support for electrification.
