I want to say “thank you” to Glenn Sabin and Jeff Hinz for sharing their stories on CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia) and for the support through the anti-cancer thrives Facebook group. Their inspiration has helped me create my own success story to share.

I strongly believe in the body's ability to heal from various illnesses, including cancer, when provided with essential vitamins, nutrition, supplements, water, rest, and movement. Glenn Sabin's journey demonstrated this truth. It's striking to see how the public in the US is often kept in the dark about the powerful effects of natural remedies on health. While conventional treatments have their place, why should I wait for conventional treatment when the natural approach is improving all my markers without any side effects?
In August 2021, during a routine blood test, my white blood cell count was measured at 14.1 (normal range: 3.9-11.9), prompting my primary care doctor to conduct a flow cytometry test. The results indicated a diagnosis of CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia) with FISH test results showing 13q muted, stage "0" and my hematologist-oncologist put me on a watch and wait program, which entails watching my blood levels every 6 months and ultimately waiting to see if I will ever need treatment.
Over the past year, my white blood cell counts have steadily increased to 23.7, representing an 8.3 rise in 12 months. Starting on May 1st, 2024, I began consuming Cordyceps tea daily, simmering 0.5 grams of dried Cordyceps mushrooms in 8 oz of water for 15 minutes. Remarkably, within 44 days, my white blood cell count “decreased” to a normal level "11.9" solely through the use of Cordyceps mushrooms. For detailed blood levels, see the PDF slides towards the bottom of this page. I will provide weekly updates on my progress (check back in weekly).
Here are my WBC #'s (White Blood Count):
(normal range: 3.9-11.9)
Here are my ALC #'s (Absolute Lymphocyte Count):
(normal range: 1.15-3.13)
In 2022, I first listened to Glenn Sabin's book "N of 1" via audiobook, and revisited it in April 2024. Inspired by the content, I delved deeper into Glenn Sabin's work by exploring his website and joining his Facebook group, AntiCancer Thrivers.
While on the Facebook group, I encountered Jeff Hinz's post about Cordyceps mushrooms and explored his website, www.OrganicVandalism.com. Intrigued by his insights, I researched Cordyceps further. My exploration led me to PubMedCentral (National Library of Medicine), where I encountered information that left me truly amazed.
I have come across some valuable PubMedCentral articles that have led me to develop a deep appreciation for cordycepin, an active component found in cordyceps mushrooms. It seems to me that the potential of cordycepin is greatly underestimated and not fully understood by most individuals with leukemia and even by conventional medical practitioners. It's fascinating to note that there are now three encouraging stories about the benefits of cordyceps mushrooms, shared by Jeff Hinz, myself, and Laura Cristiano. I sense that this number of positive experiences by people with leukemia will increase in the near future.

Knoledge from PubMedCentral:
Cordycepin, a natural compound in certain fungi like Cordyceps militarist, shows promise in fighting leukemia by interfering with the support system between leukemia cells and mesenchymal stromal cells in the bone marrow . It disrupts the interaction between leukemia cells and mesenchymal stromal cells, hindering leukemia cell support from MSCs. Cordycepin also reduces leukemia stem cell activity, which may impede leukemia growth and improve treatment outcomes. It also targets and reduces the activity of leukemia stem cells, which are known to drive leukemia growth and recurrence. Cordycepin's dual action offers a hopeful treatment approach against leukemia by disrupting critical cell interactions. Overall, cordycepin's effects suggest a promising therapeutic strategy against leukemia by targeting these key cellular interactions.
**Antileukemic Cell Proliferation**: Cordyceps can slow down or stop the growth of leukemia cells, potentially offering anti-leukemia effects by inhibiting cell growth.
**Cytotoxic Activity**: Cordyceps can cause cell death in leukemia cells. This cytotoxic effect targets and kills leukemia cells specifically, which is a common mechanism in anti-cancer treatments.
Cordyceps can hinder leukemia cell growth (antileukemic cell proliferation) and induce cell death in leukemia cells (cytotoxic activity). This highlights the potential of Cordyceps as a natural or complementary treatment for leukemia.
The article discusses a study on how cordycepin from cultivated Cordyceps militaris may boost cell death in human leukemia cells through a combined effect. Cordycepin is a compound in certain fungi that shows potential health benefits, including anti-cancer properties. The research focuses on how this compound affects the programmed cell death process in leukemia cells, offering insights into potential natural treatment approaches for leukemia.

Here is my detailed daily routine:
1. I make an 8 oz cup of cordyceps tea.
2. To prepare the tea, I microwave 8 oz of water for 1 minute and 20 seconds, then I transfer the warm water to a tea kettle and place on the lowest heat setting of my stove (never heating to a boil). I add 0.5 grams of raw (dried-whole) cordyceps militaris mushrooms to the tea kettle and set a 15-minute timer on my phone. During the 15 minutes of simmering, I periodically swirl the water/tea, although it might be unneccesary to swirl. After simmering for 15 minutes, I pour the tea into a coffee cup, consume the tea, and eat the simmered mushrooms.
3. I always consume the tea on an empty stomach. Fortunately, the tea tastes pleasant and never upsets my stomach.
Here are the hyperlinks to the items I purchased to make the tea:
FungiJon - Cordyceps mushrooms (recommended by Jeff Hinz & they work great and taste good too).
I do eat quite healthily and do not smoke, I am not overweight and definitely active so overall my health is very good.
