@HollensbeAmanda Thank YOU @HollensbeAmanda and Braelyn for being such an inspirational display of tenacious love in the face of immense challenges! It’s an honor to do a small part to help 🙏

[Jim Stout @Landmanimal]

Ran 8 miles today for Braelyn Hollensbe. A cutting-edge treatment changed my cancer journey. Nov 8 I'm running the Pittsburgh 10 Miler for her. She's cancer-free on scans after DCVax-L, which she flies to London for. Next treatment is Nov 6. Help close the gap! #DCVaxForBraelyn

❤️ BRAELYN’S NOVEMBER TREATMENT FUNDRAISER — FULL FINANCIAL UPDATE ❤️

First, THANK YOU to every single person who has donated, shared our story, prayed for Braelyn, or helped us in any way. Your kindness and generosity mean more than words can express.

As many of you know, Braelyn was diagnosed with an aggressive, grade 4 brain tumor at just 16 years old. Today, at 19, she is in college and her most recent MRIs show NO EVIDENCE OF CANCER! 🙏❤️

She is receiving DCVax-L, a personalized cancer vaccine developed here in America, but we must travel to London for her treatments because it is not yet available to her in the United States.

Her next treatment is November 6, and the cost is approximately $30,600.

I want to provide a complete breakdown of our November funding because honesty, transparency, and accountability to everyone who supports Braelyn are extremely important to me.

📊 FINANCIAL UPDATE — OCTOBER 22, 2026

NOVEMBER TREATMENT COST: $30,600

Here is where every dollar currently accounted for stands:

🏦 $20,806.87 — Balance in our dedicated cancer treatment bank account. This includes donations previously transferred from GoFundMe and GiveSendGo, as well as private donations already deposited.

❤️ $865.00 — GiveSendGo donations still held by the platform and not yet transferred to our account.

❤️ $688.34 — GoFundMe donations still processing and not yet transferred.

❤️ $500.00 — Private donation received by check but not yet deposited.

TOTAL FUNDS ACCOUNTED FOR: $22,860.21

🎯 STILL NEEDED FOR NOVEMBER 6: $7,739.79

I also want to clarify something about the totals displayed on our fundraising platforms.

Both GoFundMe and GiveSendGo show cumulative donations, including money raised for earlier treatments. Those totals are NOT the same as the amount currently available for November.

Some of those funds have already been used for previous cancer treatments, and other donations have been transferred into our dedicated treatment account.

We count each donation only ONCE, regardless of whether it is still processing, sitting on a fundraising platform, or already deposited in the bank.

Our fundraising figures sometimes change quickly as new donations arrive and transfers are processed. I will continue updating everyone as accurately as possible.

We are now approximately 75% of the way toward funding Braelyn’s November treatment!

❤️ Just $7,739.79 to go! ❤️

Every donation, regardless of size, brings us closer to getting Braelyn to London for her next DCVax treatment.

Our family has been fighting for Braelyn’s hope and future for more than three years. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who continues standing beside her.

Please consider donating or sharing this post. Even a repost can help us reach someone who might be able to help.

🙏 Thank you for loving our girl and helping us keep her treatment going!

A video letter to President @realDonaldTrump

@HollensbeBrae is the young woman whose Glioblastoma story you recently shared with @DrOzCMS.

Braelyn and her parents live ten minutes from Wednesday’s campaign stop in Clemson and would like to meet you.

“Today she’s 19 years old, attending college, living her life - and her latest MRI shows no evidence of disease.”

Braelyn receives DCVax-L, a promising personalized cancer vaccine developed by American scientists (@NorthwestBio).

But she can’t get it in the U.S. Her family has to travel back and forth to England for compassionate use.

“For three years I fought to save my daughter‘s life and along the way I’ve discovered just how difficult it is for American patients to access promising investigational treatments - even when those treatments were developed right here in their own country.

We need to ask some very serious questions about the barriers facing smaller biotechnology companies, the influence of the pharmaceutical industry, and why patients are left waiting while promising treatments navigate years of regulatory hurdles…

…You signed right-to-try into law and I tremendously appreciate what that legislation was intended to accomplish, but I’ve learned firsthand that having the right to request a treatment doesn’t necessarily mean a patient can actually obtain it…

An American family shouldn’t have to cross an ocean to receive a promising cancer treatment developed by American scientists…”

@HollensbeAmanda Keep fighting Braelyn!!!

[Jim Stout @Landmanimal]

@HollensbeAmanda Thank you!

[Jim Stout @Landmanimal]

@HollensbeAmanda Happy Easter, Braelyn was in my prayers at church this morning!

[Jim Stout @Landmanimal]

@HollensbeAmanda Go Braelyn!!!!

[Jim Stout @Landmanimal]

@HollensbeAmanda Amazing! She is a fighter!! 💪❤️

[Jim Stout @Landmanimal]

@HollensbeAmanda Praying!!!

[Jim Stout @Landmanimal]

@HollensbeAmanda Keep going and NEVER GIVE UP!!!

[Jim Stout @Landmanimal]

@DrPatrick @POTUS Please make Anktiva available to any patient that wants to try it for cancer that is otherwise untreatable!!!

[Jim Stout @Landmanimal]

@HollensbeAmanda Keep fighting and Never give up!

[Amanda Hollensbe (Braelyn’s Mom) @HollensbeAmanda]

While American families wait, other regulators are moving.

Saudi Arabia’s SFDA has granted conditional approval for Anktiva in metastatic lung cancer and approved it for high-risk bladder cancer. Europe’s EMA has issued a positive opinion toward conditional authorization.

My 18-year-old daughter Braelyn is fighting GBM and needs access to this type of immune-based therapy now.

@DrPatrick — thank you for continuing to advocate for faster, more flexible access for patients when time is the enemy.

1866: Cotton seeds are agricultural waste. After extracting cotton fiber, farmers are left with millions of tons of seeds containing oil that's toxic to humans. Gossypol, a natural pesticide in cotton, makes the oil inedible. The seeds are fed to cattle in small amounts or simply discarded.

1900: Procter & Gamble is making candles and soap. They need cheap fats. Animal fats work but they're expensive. Cotton seed oil is abundant and nearly worthless. If they could somehow make it edible, they'd have unlimited cheap raw material.

The process they develop is brutal. Extract the oil using chemical solvents. Heat to extreme temperatures to neutralise gossypol. Hydrogenate with pressurised hydrogen gas to make it solid at room temperature. Deodorise chemically to remove the rancid smell. Bleach to remove the grey color.

The result: Crisco. Crystallised cottonseed oil. Industrial textile waste transformed through chemical processing into something white and solid that looks like lard. They patent it in 1907, launch commercially in 1911.

Now they have a problem. Nobody wants to eat industrial waste that's been chemically treated. Your grandmother cooks with lard and butter like humans have for thousands of years. Crisco needs to convince her that her traditional fats are deadly and this hydrogenated cotton-seed paste is better.

The marketing campaign is genius. They distribute free cookbooks with recipes specifically designed for Crisco. They sponsor cooking demonstrations. They target Jewish communities advertising Crisco as kosher: neither meat nor dairy. They run magazine adverts suggesting that modern, scientific families use Crisco while backwards rural people use lard.

But the real coup happens in 1948. The American Heart Association has $1,700 in their budget. They're a tiny organisation. Procter & Gamble donates $1.7 million. Suddenly the AHA has funding, influence, and a major corporate sponsor who manufactures vegetable oil.

1961: The AHA issues their first dietary guidelines. Avoid saturated fat from animals. Replace it with vegetable oils. Recommended oils: Crisco, Wesson, and other seed oils. The conflict is blatant. The organization issuing health advice is funded by the company that profits when people follow that advice.

Nobody seems troubled by this. Newspapers report the guidelines as objective science. Doctors repeat them to patients. Government agencies adopt them into policy. Industrial cotton-seed oil, chemically extracted and hydrogenated, becomes "heart-healthy" while butter becomes "artery-clogging poison."

1980s: Researchers discover that trans fats, created by hydrogenation, directly cause heart disease. They raise LDL, lower HDL, promote inflammation, and increase heart attack risk more than any other dietary fat. Crisco, as originally formulated, is catastrophically unhealthy. This takes 70 years to officially acknowledge.

Procter & Gamble's response: Quietly reformulate without admission of error. Remove hydrogenation, keep selling seed oils, never acknowledge that their "heart-healthy" product spent seven decades actively causing the disease it claimed to prevent.

Modern seed oils remain. Soybean, canola, corn, safflower oils everywhere. Same chemical extraction process. Same high-temperature refining. Same oxidation problems. Just without hydrogenation so trans fats stay below regulatory thresholds.

These oils oxidise rapidly when heated. They integrate into cell membranes where they create inflammatory signalling for months or years. They're rich in omega-6 fatty acids that promote inflammation. They've never existed in human diets at current consumption levels.

But they're cheap. Profitable. And the food industry has spent a century convincing everyone they're healthy. The alternative, admitting that industrial textile waste shouldn't have been turned into food, would require acknowledging the last 110 years of dietary advice was fundamentally corrupted from the start.

Your great-grandmother cooked with lard because that's what humans used for millennia. Then Procter & Gamble needed to sell soap alternatives and accidentally created the largest dietary change in human history.

We traded animal fats that built civilisations for factory waste that causes disease.

The soap company won. Your health lost.

@HollensbeAmanda I pray that she gets access to the care she needs!

[Jim Stout @Landmanimal]

@Babsslov @DrPatrick @ImmunityBio @Babsslov yes, insurance did cover the Anktiva. There was some question whether they would since I was the first in this practice to receive it. No issues tolerating the BCG plus Anktiva. Stay hydrated! The more you pee, the faster the burning goes away.

[Jim Stout @Landmanimal]

@PSea17 @DrPatrick @ImmunityBio I was even able to chaperone a week long mission trip to Belize for my church youth group in the middle of the 6 BCG only treatments.

[Jim Stout @Landmanimal]

@PSea17 @DrPatrick @ImmunityBio Great question and I have no idea of the answer. What I can tell you is I had very few side effects from the first 6 BCG only treatments (felt flu-like after one treatment for a day and a half, but I was very dehydrated the day I took that treatment).
