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.

Did anyone try to build one of these?

-- Other avenues:

1. taking vortioxetine

2. getting infected with the zika virus (probably the best thing to do IMO)
