When my husband was diagnosed with a Grade 3 Oligoastrocytoma brain cancer recurrence he started taking pancreatic proteolytic enzymes three times per day.
In 1905, the embryologist John Beard first proposed that pancreatic proteolytic enzymes had potential as a treatment for cancer. His theories were dismissed by the medical world, but a decade later practitioners began treating cancer with them.
My husband’s doctor presented it to him as a description of cancer cells having multiple layers like an onion surrounding it and you have to break away each of those layers to destroy the cancerous cells.
The pancreatic enzymes “eat away like Pac-Man” or “strip” away the protective coating surrounding the cancer cell to give other healing modalities the ability to destroy the bad cells.
The proteolytic enzyme from the pancreas has a unique ability to break the mucosal protein coating that surrounds all malignant tumors. This mucosal protein coating prevents the body’s immune system from attacking cancer cells. So when you break this coating your immune system can attack the bad cells.
You want to take them on an empty stomach about 30 minutes before a meal otherwise the enzymes will focus on the food you’re eating rather than the cancerous cells.

(The body's innate processes for disrupting biofilms and how to support these pathways.)
"The body produces several enzymes and compounds to disrupt biofilms:
1️⃣ Lysozyme: Breaks down bacterial cell walls in biofilms (tears, saliva).
2️⃣ DNase I: Degrades extracellular DNA in biofilm matrices (pancreatic secretion).
3️⃣ Lactoferrin: Iron-chelating protein that inhibits biofilm formation.
4️⃣ Neutrophil elastase: Protease targeting biofilm adhesins.
However, chronic infections often overwhelm these defenses. Clinicians may augment with exogenous enzymes (e.g., serrapeptase, nattokinase) to enhance biofilm disruption (*Front. Microbiol.*, 2023).
🩺 Testing: Urinary/sputum biofilm markers (e.g., EPS polysaccharides) indicate unresolved infections.
Boosting the body’s biofilm-disrupting enzymes involves targeted nutrition and lifestyle strategies:
1️⃣ Lysozyme Support:
• Zinc (15–30mg/day) – Cofactor for enzyme synthesis (oysters, pumpkin seeds).
• Vitamin A (3,000–5,000 IU) – Enhances mucosal secretion (liver, sweet potatoes).
2️⃣ DNase I Production:
• Magnesium (400mg/day) – Supports pancreatic function (spinach, almonds).
• NAC (600mg 2x/day) – Reduces oxidative stress on pancreatic cells.
3️⃣ Lactoferrin Boost:
• Bovine colostrum (500mg 2x/day) – Direct source of lactoferrin.
• Probiotics (Lactobacillus rhamnosus) – Stimulates gut lactoferrin secretion.
4️⃣ Neutrophil Elastase:
• Vitamin D3 (5,000 IU/day) – Optimizes neutrophil activity.
• Omega-3s (2g EPA/DHA) – Reduces inflammation, preserving elastase efficacy.
🍽️ Diet: Prioritize antioxidant-rich foods (berries, turmeric) and avoid processed sugars (fuel biofilms).
🩺 Testing: Serum zinc, vitamin D, and lactoferrin levels guide supplementation. Partner with a functional medicine provider.
Beyond enzymes, the body employs these biofilm-disruption strategies:
1️⃣ Phagocytosis: Neutrophils/macrophages physically dismantle biofilms via ROS and engulfment.
2️⃣ Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs): Defensins and cathelicidins disrupt biofilm matrices.
3️⃣ Mechanical Clearance: Coughing, urination, and gut peristalsis shear off biofilms.
4️⃣ Quorum Sensing Interference: Host-produced furanones block bacterial communication.
⚠️ Limitations: Chronic inflammation (e.g., CF, periodontitis) can overwhelm these defenses.
🔬 Enhancement:
• NAC (600mg 2x/day) boosts glutathione, aiding phagocyte function.
• Berberine (500mg) inhibits quorum sensing (*Front. Microbiol.*, 2024).
Supporting these biofilm-disrupting strategies by the body requires targeted interventions:
1️⃣ Phagocytosis Boost:
• Zinc (30mg/day) – Enhances neutrophil ROS production (*J. Nutr.*, 2023).
• Vitamin C (1g 2x/day) – Optimizes macrophage activity.
2️⃣ Antimicrobial Peptides:
• Vitamin A (10,000 IU/day) – Upregulates defensin synthesis.
• Saccharomyces boulardii – Stimulates gut AMP secretion (*Gut Microbes*, 2024).
3️⃣ Mechanical Clearance:
• Hydration (35mL/kg body weight) – Maintains mucosal flow.
• Fiber (35g/day) – Promotes gut peristalsis to shed biofilms.
4️⃣ Quorum Quenching:
• Garlic extract (allicin 5mg/day) – Disrupts bacterial signaling.
• Cranberry PACs (36mg/day) – Inhibit biofilm adhesion.
🌙 Lifestyle: Prioritize sleep (7–9hrs) and stress management (cortisol impairs AMPs). Avoid high-sugar diets that fuel biofilm growth.
🩺 Testing: CRP/ESR levels gauge inflammation; stool tests assess gut biofilm burden."

Is glutathione making you feel worse?
For some, glutathione can trigger symptoms instead of helping. Glutathione is amazing, just not always the right supplement to start with for everyone.
This post breaks down why that can happen and what to look out for.
Please note: Creating content like this takes time, and I’m unable to answer individual questions in comments or DMs. Personalized guidance is only available to clients- thank you for understanding! 🤍
This is not medical advice, just educational content.
Learning this took years of navigating my own journey, functional training, deep research, and working with many clients. You likely won’t find these connections explained all in one place- this topic is still so overlooked.

Just because it’s viral doesn’t mean it’s the best preparation for you! There is a huge spectrum practice when making herbal preparations that lets us explore all of the options available to us and oh boy what a treat! That being said, there are some big bold claims being made about a VERY MILD, VERY GENTLE, VERY VIRAL infusion method for cleavers that may not be the most suitable way to achieve what you’re after.
Here’s the issue with the recipe that’s making the rounds: plopping whole fresh plants like cleavers into cold water without chopping/blending or even bruising them doesn’t allow for inner surface area exposure for the maximum amount of water soluble compounds to be extracted. In the absence of maceration, this preparation will yield a pleasant yet ultra mild infusion (still with lovely energetics and essences).
If you’re after a more potent, nutritious, lymph moving infusion (like what these videos are claiming), a more traditional blended cleavers juice or “slurry” is the way to go.
Blend with water, transfer to a glass container, and allow it to cold infuse overnight in the fridge. Strain the solids from the infusion and enjoy with lemon/lime and salt for an herbaceous green tonic!
There is no right or wrong here! Both preparations are great for different reasons and for different people with different needs! I’d definitely encourage you to explore beyond these viral videos and try both. Let me know which one you prefer!
One of the greatest joys of learning about herbs is exploring all of the little nuances of each plant, how they work in different formats, and how they interact with your body. Let me know if you’d like to check out my herbal infusion guide to help you explore these processes!

While my husband was healing from a grade 3 Oligoastrocytoma brain cancer recurrence he included Black Seed Oil (BSO) (and still does to this day) in his daily healing regimen!
Black Seed (Nigella Sativa) is a traditional herb that has been used for thousands of years to promote health and general well-being, but the research and studies showing it’s anti-cancer effects were something that caught our eye when we did a deep dive in researching ways to heal from cancer naturally. 🌱
Thymoquinone (TQ) is the main bioactive component of Nigella sativa L. and it has exhibited anticancer effects in numerous preclinical studies. Due to its multitargeting nature, TQ interferes in a wide range of tumorigenic processes and counteract carcinogenesis, malignant growth, invasion, migration, and angiogenesis.
Studies even show it induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells as well as stopping the growth of cancer cells. This has been shown for numerous cancer cell lines and types (not just brain cancers) and it has also been shown to cross the blood brain barrier!
Researching the benefits of BSO is definitely something I would look into! Hold to read some of the studies I included in the reel or just look them up to see the full study.

(NAC vs Augmented NAC)
NAC (N-acetylcysteine) is the standard form, a glutathione precursor used for antioxidant support and mucus thinning. Augmented NAC refers to formulations enhanced with:
1️⃣ Bioavailability boosters:
• Selenium/Molybdenum (supports glutathione synthesis).
• Liposomal delivery for better absorption.
2️⃣ Synergistic additives:
• Glycine (supports detox pathways).
• Alpha-lipoic acid (recycles glutathione).
🔬 Key Difference: Augmented NAC targets specific pathways (e.g., mitochondrial support, heavy metal chelation) beyond basic antioxidant function. Always check labels – "augmented" isn’t standardized!
