Several years ago, I wrote about a Wall Street lawyer who became ill, was unable to work with severe fatigue, and was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. He made a small fortune on the Wall Street, and he was able to quit his job, and pursue his medical recovery full time. I met him at Medicine Week in Baden-Baden, Germany. The last time I saw him, he said his house was now like a clinic with the latest medical equipment from Europe. He became what I call a Professional Patient, who took care of himself and now gives guidance to physicians with incurable symptoms seeking European Biological Medicine treatments and help in navigating options. You can read his story here.
Jane McLelland of England is a Professional Patient, not under my care. She had cervical cancer metastasized to her lung with a grim prognosis. Her grueling journey of healing, fighting the medical system, and beating the odds with sheer determination are outlined in her book, How to Starve Cancer. During her journey, she discovered many therapies overlooked by oncologists and the academic medical community, and dud in-depth research on metabolic adaptation of cancer cells, how to weaken cancer cells by cutting off nutritional support (beyond a ketogenic diet), and target and kill cancer cells.
One of my patients gave me her book, and I met Jane at the International College Integrative of Medicine (ICIM) conference in March 2022. She presented on how to starve and beat cancer. Her book goes into detail, covering the metabolic protocol, with over-the-counter medications, natural remedies and off-label and repurposed medications, and how they target cancer metabolism. She became a true Professional Patient who knows cancer metabolism better than most physicians and oncologists.

My articles have covered many aspects of cancer extensively over the years; you can read them on the articles page of my website. For more information, patient stories, clinical cases, prescription guidelines, and self-help resources see my latest book, AcciDental Blow Up in Medicine. Some patients searching for cures became Professional Patients, more knowledgeable than most medical doctors, and can help guide you to cure health problems. Be prepared for heavy headwinds by medical skeptics, who will try to discredit or attack noble new ideas in the name of science, or for better or worse, for lack of established scientific proof through peer-reviewed, random clinical trials.
Chronic Fatigue or Cancer can be reverse engineered in many cases. A Professional Patient’s recommendations may not cover all your underlying problems but if their advice helps you get well, call it an Accidental Cure. I have witness many Accidental Cures – especially when you correct hidden dental problems, parasite, and fungal infections, the trifecta fueling many chronic illnesses and cancers.
