Ask HN: A friend has brain cancer: any bio hacks that worked?
A friend recently got diagnosed with stage 4 GBM. It's the 4th person I know who has it, and it's getting old, so I want to help, bio-hacking style.I stumbled upon these guys who built a helmet that rotates strong magnets to create oscillating magnetic fields in the brain. They claim the oscillating magnetic fields cause cancer cell death through mechanisms I don't understand at all.https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-46758-wDid anyone try to build one of these?-- Other avenues:1. taking vortioxetine2. getting infected with the zika virus Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42649996 Points: 2 # Comments: 0
