How this man survived brain cancer with a 0% survival rate - EP43

Description

We flew to Ontario to meet Steve Allgood, the 2nd patient in Canadian history to receive psychedelic assisted therapy through the health care system.We can't even begin to imagine being diagnosed with cancer just days before your wedding, and not just any cancer, one that almost nobody survives.Steve has come a long way since then, defying all odds and still alive today to share his story, with his beautiful wife and two kids.If you are moved by his story - WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR MP: https://therapsil.ca/get-involved/More details:7 and a half years ago, Steve was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer just two days before his wedding. The diagnosis was DIPG, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, a rare and aggressive pontine glioma located on the brainstem tumour near the pons tumor area. Doctors in oncology and neuro-oncology gave him a terminal diagnosis with zero percent chance of survival. He was told to go home and prepare for the worst.Instead of accepting that, Steve started his own cancer journey. After radiation therapy, he was offered chemotherapy, but began exploring alternative treatment options. He connected with long-term cancer survival stories online and discovered complementary medicine approaches like high-dose cannabis, cannabis oil, and Rick Simpson Oil (RSO). Medical marijuana became a major part of his protocol, along with vitamin C IV therapy, nutrition and cancer research, sugar-free diet changes, and overall lifestyle change focused on reducing inflammation and immune system rebuilding. These integrative medicine and functional medicine approaches challenged everything he thought he knew about the Canadian healthcare system.Steve also became the 2nd patient in Canadian history to legally access psilocybin therapy through Health Canada's Section 56 exemption and Special Access Program. His experience with psilocybin-assisted therapy helped him process deep trauma healing, PTSD, grief, anxiety, and depression.
