Hello everyone, I have already made a few posts on Steemit, but I have yet to formally introduce myself. I am an author and researcher who organizes a number of events including the Free Your Mind Conference.
My plan for Steemit is to post short articles on philosophy and anarchism, as well as document my current holistic fight against cancer.
I began my journey in activism roughly ten years ago, when I began throwing raves at an underground venue that I helped develop. My goal with those events was to fight the drug war through blatant civil disobedience, and I hoped to awaken some minds with my party themes as well. I had a little bit of luck, but as time went on I sought out more effective ways to communicate the ideas of freedom, which I had a very rudimentary understanding of at the time, being in my young 20s.
As I was searching for a new path, I was "told" during a psychedelic experience that I needed to write a book, and I spent the next four years writing my first book "Alchemy of The Timeless Renaissance." Sadly, I was taken advantage of by a con artist publisher and then had to spend the following two years learning the ins and outs of self-publishing. While I was in the midst of that experience, the club that I helped found was shut down in a massive DEA raid, which was being planned and investigated for over a year.
My focus shifted towards my writing, and in addition to working on books, I also began writing articles for various alternative media websites, before eventually settling down with The Free Thought Project, True Activist, and The Anti-Media. I also began investing much of my time into planning and organizing The Free Your Mind Conference with Bob Tuskin. I also embarked on writing a trilogy series of books on anarchism with Derrick Broze.
As soon as I became comfortable in my path, life came and disrupted it again, a situation that I am sure many people can relate too. After being mysteriously sick for about a year and going to a number different clueless doctors, I eventually crossed paths with a dedicated physicians assistant who cared enough to put some time into my case. and she discovered that I had Lymphoma, a type of cancer that forms in the Lymphnodes.
Reluctantly, I went to an oncologist on the advice of my doctor, and as expected, they attempted to bully me into chemo, radiation, and list of procedures that I was not comfortable with. I knew from my research that there were many natural therapies that could treat cancer effectively, despite the fact that there is a ton of propaganda out there against holistic treatments.
To help fight the propaganda that is out there about natural treatments, and to add to the body of research that is already out there, I decided to make pretty much every aspect of my cancer battle public and out in the open so perhaps others in similar situations can learn from my experience.
It has been roughly five months that I have been experimenting with a variety of alternative treatments, while drastically changing my diet and lifestyle. In this short amount of time, I have already begun to feel incredibly better and have noticed many of my symptoms are beginning to fade away. The lumps are still there, and the fight is far from over but I am confident that things are going in the right direction.
During the healing process, me and my wife are currently writing a book about our experiences and our treatment plan, and her contribution will offer the perspective of the caregiver. Portions of the book and explanations of everything that we are doing with our treatment will be posted to Steemit regularly. Thus far I have been making my updates via my Facebook page, but that is a dying platform and I would much rather submit my content to a site like this.
