My last MCT powder sachet!

My most effective epilepsy medication. It controls my appetite, blood sugar, raises blood ketone readings and controls my seizure activity. This is my last MCT powder sachet, back on MCT oil tomorrow. It's a shame because I can take the powder out with me and it's great after exercise.

Blue light blocking glasses and cancer, epilepsy

Image
These are the best blue light blocking glasses I have had and they don't look dorky. If you understand about the negative effects of artificial light at night you will understand how useful these can be to normalise natural melatonin secretion in the evenings. Endogenous melatonin produced by the pineal gland is one the most potent anti-cancer molecules known to man, as I have mentioned previously in this blog. The most noticeable benefit for me is improved seizure control after sunset. The effect of melatonin and sleep aids has been investigated for years as potential anti convulsive agents for good reason and the mechanisms of action go beyond improved sleep quality (although this is still HUGELY important for seizure control). Blue light blocking glasses from BLUblox-  https://www.blublox.com Melatonin is a very powerful antioxidant with numerous physiological functions. The interplay between clock genes and light entering the retina is an intricate, delicate process that regula...

Fundraising for me, you, or the collective good?

I like the idea of having a Justgiving page so that you can see how much money is raised for a specific cause but there are a few things I question about fundraising: 1. Should I really need to do a 'challenge'? I would prefer to fundraise by educating and provoking thought and discussion. I prefer to provide information and will make videos in the near future. I have nothing against people who do challenges but it should not be seen as a pre-requisite. The challenge for me personally is to influence thought and actions with words. It appears many people want something in return for their money to benefit themselves or they want to be some type of voyeur who can visibly see someone suffering. The more suffering someone is experiencing in the public eye the more they give. The achievement should be influencing positive change. It sounds boring but it's true. I'm not a flashy, charismatic person but I speak my mind and I have strong opinions which I have thought about for...

Can't wait to be back at uni!

Next month will be very special for me. After 2 and a half years of recovery both mentally and physically from my brain haemorrhage that led to my cancer diagnosis and the subsequent problems associated with that I am finally ready to go back to my studies. It's a huge thing for me and a big step as I still have invisible disabilities that affect me on a day to day basis despite my vast improvements I have made symptomatically and through positive scan results.  I have made the decision to study Human and Medical Science full time at the University of Westminster where my studies were cruelly cut short by this disease. Going back will feel quite surreal as I honestly never thought it would be possibly and I was unsure of my short term future but here I am! I still don't look too far into the future but I am realistically optimistic.  I feel as though I can make a real difference with my studies and hope to push through with my own research through my personal experiences and m...
