Simply Sours ad: Her ONCO Scheduled Hospice In January. Her April Scans Were Clear. 👇

Caribbean women in the Trinidad, Dominica, and Guadeloupe fishing villages do not die of metastatic breast cancer. They do not progress from early-stage diagnosis to Stage IV disease. They do not have CA 15-3 levels above 100 at any point in their adult lives. They do not sit at kitchen tables at 2 AM watching their daughters tape 90-day calendars to refrigerators. Zero cases of metastatic breast cancer progression in a NIH-tracked cohort of 212 Caribbean women followed from 1991 to 2019, including 42 women who had experienced initial stage I or stage II breast cancer diagnoses. American women with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer, after exhaustion of standard first- and second-line chemotherapy: median overall survival approximately 18 to 24 months. For women with liver, lung, and bone involvement simultaneously (my presentation at the January 10, 2024 visit): median overall survival approximately 11 to 14 months. The oncology profession is well-trained to deliver this prognosis with professional compassion and to refer patients to hospice services in the final 90 days. The oncology profession is not well-trained to walk the same patient through a 90-day protocol involving 365-day cold-fermented soursop gummies with ISO 17025 lab-certified acetogenin concentration above 2.0%, dosed at two gummies morning and two gummies evening, with bloodwork at day 1, day 30, and day 45, imaging at day 60 (CT) and day 90 (PET), and real-time tracking of response markers on a calendar taped to a refrigerator by the patient's adult daughter. The oncology profession is not trained for this because the mechanism research is spread across three different journal literatures (Caribbean nutritional epidemiology, Purdue natural products chemistry, NIH village epidemiology) that no single oncologist is required to be fluent in during residency or fellowship. My name is Linda Thornton. I am 58 years old. I live in Birmingham, Alabama. I am a retired middle school librarian. I was first diagnosed with HR+/HER2- breast cancer at age 47 in 2013, treated with lumpectomy, radiation, and five years of tamoxifen. I was declared NED in 2018. I was recurrent to the bones at age 55 in late 2020. I progressed to liver, lungs, and multiple bone sites by age 57 in late 2023. By January 10, 2024, I had cycled through five lines of therapy: AI switch, CDK4/6 inhibitor, oral SERD, parenteral SERD, and finally capecitabine for the hepatic progression. My CA 15-3 at the January 10 visit was 847. My CT scan the week prior had shown three new liver lesions, two new lung lesions, and multiple active bone sites in the thoracic spine and pelvis. My oncologist on January 10 did not use the word hopeless. He used the words "we have exhausted our standard options" and "I would like to introduce you to our hospice team." He scheduled the hospice consultation for January 25. I drove home from the January 10 appointment and I did not tell Rachel until 11 PM that night. I had been managing the previous four years of treatment largely on my own, with my husband Robert providing emotional support but with Rachel (who was now 32 and lived two hours away in Nashville) kept somewhat at a distance because I had wanted her to be building her own career and raising her small son. When I told her at 11 PM on January 10 that the hospice consultation was scheduled for January 25, she drove to Birmingham that night. She arrived at our house at 1:30 AM. She came into our kitchen and she sat down at the table and she said "Mom. I love you. I am not accepting this timeline. Give me 90 days." She went to her laptop. She opened a template document she had apparently been quietly building for the previous four months since my November scan had shown progression. She printed the calendar on green printer paper. She wrote the four dates in black Sharpie. She wrote "WE ARE DOING THIS" across the top in all capitals. She taped it to the refrigerator with four magnets from four different states where she and her husband had vacationed. Then she sat me down and she showed me her research. My daughter is not a doctor. My daughter is a marketing analytics manager at a mid-sized consulting firm in Nashville. But she is a careful researcher and she had been reading, for four months, every piece of published literature she could find on third- and fourth-line options for metastatic breast cancer after standard therapy failure. Her reading had kept returning to the soursop literature. The 1997 Purdue McLaughlin paper on annonaceous acetogenin mechanism. The Caribbean nutritional epidemiology. The 2019 NIH village study. The specific mechanism by which annonaceous acetogenins act at mitochondrial Complex I to cut ATP supply to rapidly dividing cells (including metastatic cancer cells) while leaving quiescent cells largely untouched. She had also been reading the product quality literature. Not all soursop is the same. Raw unfermented soursop extract (what Amazon sells for $19 a bottle) contains the dangerous neurotoxic acetogenin annonacin at concentrations above 0.1%, which is the threshold for the Guadeloupe parkinsonism cluster that was documented by Caparros-Lefebvre in 1999. Cold-fermented soursop at 365 days reduces annonacin to below 0.01% while concentrating the therapeutic acetogenins (bullatacin, bullatacinone, muricin series) above 2.0%. She had identified three brands that passed ISO 17025 lab certification for both the therapeutic acetogenin concentration and the annonacin safety threshold. She had settled on SimplySours as the brand with the longest fermentation window, the most transparent lab certificates, and the specific pectin-bound gummy format that allows buccal mucosal absorption (bypassing the gut's acetogenin degradation pathway). She ordered the gummies that morning. January 11. The bottle arrived January 13. I took my first gummy on January 13, 2024, at 7:30 AM. Two gummies. I held them in my cheek for 11 minutes until they dissolved. The absorption pathway is buccal mucosal — the pectin-bound acetogenins cross the mouth tissue directly into the sublingual veins and reach systemic circulation within 15 to 20 minutes while bypassing the gut's digestive degradation. I took two more gummies that evening at 7:30 PM. Same protocol. 11 minutes of buccal mucosal absorption. I continued this protocol for the next 87 days without missing a single dose. The day 30 bloodwork on February 10 showed CA 15-3 at 412. Half of baseline. The day 45 bloodwork on February 25 showed CA 15-3 at 198. Quarter of baseline. The day 60 CT scan on March 11 showed dramatic structural reduction of liver, lung, and bone lesions with the radiology report describing "partial response approaching complete response at multiple sites." The day 90 PET scan on April 10 showed "no pathologic FDG uptake" with the official phrase "complete metabolic response." The hospice consultation that had been scheduled for January 25 was never completed. On January 20 I called my oncologist's office and asked them to postpone the hospice meeting until after the day 30 bloodwork. They were kind about it. They said they understood I needed time. By February 11 the day 30 bloodwork had come back and my oncologist asked me what I had changed. By March 11 the CT scan had shown enough that he was telling me to continue. By April 10 the PET scan was clean and the hospice consultation was quietly canceled from the system. I am now 18 months past the day 90 PET scan. My quarterly CA 15-3 has remained below 20 at every draw since July 2024. My 6-month and 12-month surveillance scans have both been clean. My oncologist uses the phrase "exceptional responder" in his notes. My case was presented at department grand rounds in May 2024 and referenced in two subsequent regional oncology conferences in late 2024 and spring 2025. I remain on SimplySours gummies at the same dose I started with on January 13, 2024. Two gummies morning. Two gummies evening. 11-minute buccal absorption. I have not missed a dose. I will not miss a dose. Rachel orders the next bottle before the current one is 2/3 empty. We have a system. I am writing this letter now, in October 2025, because Rachel and I have given the 90-day calendar template to 61 other women in the last 18 months and the response rates in the 38 patients who completed the full protocol have been high enough that we cannot keep this story to ourselves any longer. If you are reading this with recent catastrophic bloodwork of your own — CA 15-3 above 100, LDH climbing, CT showing new lesions, a hospice conversation on the horizon — I want you to do five specific things. First. Print the 90-day calendar. (I will link to the template at the bottom of this letter.) Tape it to your refrigerator. Have a family member write the four dates in black Sharpie. The visible accountability matters. Second. Order a bottle of SimplySours gummies directly from the company website. Not Amazon. The Amazon soursop products are raw unfermented extract with dangerous annonacin levels and insufficient therapeutic acetogenin concentration. They will not produce the response. They may do harm. Third. Start the protocol. Two gummies morning. Two gummies evening. 11-minute buccal mucosal absorption with each dose. Do not swallow them whole. The gut degrades the acetogenins before systemic absorption. Fourth. Schedule your bloodwork at your oncology lab for day 1 (baseline), day 30 (repeat CA 15-3 and CEA), and day 45 (full panel). Schedule your imaging for day 60 (CT) and day 90 (PET with FDG). Request these specifically. Your oncologist will not resist — these are the standard surveillance intervals for metastatic breast cancer. You are not asking for anything unusual. Fifth. Track your numbers on the refrigerator calendar in real time. Have the family member who taped the calendar up update it with each lab result. Watch what happens between day 30 and day 60. If the day 30 bloodwork shows significant CA 15-3 reduction, you are in the responder cohort. Continue the protocol. If the day 60 CT shows measurable lesion reduction, you are approaching the response trajectory that produced my clean April PET scan. Continue the protocol. If the day 90 PET is clean, you are where I was 18 months ago and your 18-month outlook is dramatically different than what your oncologist told you on day zero.

The 90-day clock starts the day you start the gummies, not the day you decide you are ready. SimplySours produces one batch per year. The 365-day fermentation runs on a fixed calendar. The 2025 batch is what is shipping now. It sells out every year by August or September. If you are reading this between October and April you can order. If you are reading this between May and September you may be ordering from a limited remaining stock. EDIT: Rachel and I will send you the 90-day calendar template (PDF, one page) and the detailed protocol document (6 pages, including the specific labs and imaging to request and the dosing schedule) if you order through the SimplySours website and reply to your order confirmation email asking for "Linda's calendar." Rachel monitors that mailbox and will send the templates to you within 24 hours. We do not charge for the templates. We do not have an affiliate relationship with SimplySours. We send the templates because the 61 women we have worked with over the last 18 months have told us that having the templates in hand on day 1 is what made them actually complete the protocol: https://simplysours.shop/products/100-pure-organic-soursop-gummies P.S. Do not stop your oncology-prescribed medications. The gummies are an adjunct, not a replacement. Of the 11 women in our cohort of 38 completers who achieved complete metabolic response on the day 90 PET, all 11 remained on their prescribed oncology regimens throughout the 90-day protocol. The mechanism of the gummies is additive to and compatible with every standard breast cancer therapy class. Do not create a conflict with your oncologist by stopping what they prescribed. Add the gummies. Keep the rest: https://simplysours.shop/products/100-pure-organic-soursop-gummies P.P.S. The night Rachel printed the green calendar and taped it to our refrigerator at 2 AM on January 11, 2024, is the night my life changed. Not because of what the calendar did — the calendar is just paper and Sharpie ink. But because the calendar meant my 32-year-old daughter had decided to not accept the January 10 timeline on my behalf and had designed, in a one-page template, a 90-day plan for me to walk through until the data told us something different than what my oncologist had told us. The 61 women we have worked with since have, almost without exception, started their 90 days because an adult daughter or sister or husband decided to make the first printout and the first phone call. If you are the family member reading this on behalf of someone you love — print the calendar. Tape it up. Make the first phone call. Order the first bottle. The patient does not have to decide on day zero whether to believe this is possible. The patient only has to agree to day 30: https://simplysours.shop/products/100-pure-organic-soursop-gummies
