Is It Working: Cancer Prevention
Monitoring Clinical Markers
1. Energy & Vitality
Daily stamina: Gradual reduction of chronic fatigue.
Post-exertion recovery: Faster rebound after physical or mental effort.
Sleep depth: More restorative nights, reflecting reduced oxidative stress.
These are subtle but may be noticed within 4–8 weeks.
2. Immune Resilience
Frequency of infections: Fewer colds, flu, or viral episodes across the year.
Recovery rate: Faster resolution of minor illnesses.
Wound healing: Cuts, bruises, or oral ulcers closing faster, with less lingering inflammation.
By 3–6 months, strengthened immune tone can be reflected in day-to-day health stability.
3. Digestive & Detoxification Function
Digestive calm: Less bloating, irritation, or sluggish digestion — mugwort and calendula support bile flow and mucosal healing.
Liver function (if monitored): ALT/AST levels remaining within healthy ranges.
Tolerance to rich foods/alcohol: Less reactivity or hangover-like sluggishness.
These signs often show within 1–3 months as the liver and gut balance improve.
4. Skin & Mucosal Health
Skin tone: Fewer rashes, healthier glow, less chronic irritation.
Oral health: Reduced gum bleeding, fewer mouth sores.
Respiratory lining: Less susceptibility to irritation from pollution, smoke, or dust.
These tissues reflect the body’s surface-level defenses, showing change in 2–6 months.
5. Laboratory & Preventive Indicators (if available)
Inflammatory markers: CRP and IL-6 not climbing, ideally trending lower.
Oxidative stress markers: More stable glutathione or antioxidant levels (if tested).
Immune labs: White blood cell count steady, not chronically suppressed or elevated.
Screening tests: No new abnormal findings on regular check-ups (Pap, colonoscopy, imaging, etc.).
While rarely measured outside research, stabilization here is a concrete marker of prevention at work.
6. Quality of Life Indicators
Mental clarity: Less “brain fog,” more ease in concentration.
Mood resilience: Feeling calmer, less stressed — blue lotus and spearmint supporting this.
Sense of well-being: Subtle but often reported: “I feel lighter,” “I’m not as weighed down.”
These psychosomatic shifts support long-term adherence and reflect reduced physiological stress.
7. Trajectory Markers (Long View)
Precancerous lesions: No new polyps, abnormal smears, or suspicious growths across regular screenings.
Inflammatory conditions: Stabilization of chronic irritation (IBD, gastritis, colitis).
Chronic disease risk: Lowered trajectory toward diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or obesity-related cancer drivers.
Hospitalizations avoided: No emergency admissions due to systemic inflammation or pre-malignant complications.
Over years, the tincture’s impact is not in short-term symptoms but in shifting risk trajectories.
Timeline expectations:
Weeks (4–8): Energy, digestion, mood clarity.
Months (3–6): Fewer infections, steadier recovery, healthier skin/gut tone.
Year (6–12 months): Reduced chronic inflammation markers, more robust screening results.
Long view (years): No progression of precancerous lesions, steady trajectory of immune resilience.
