In a recent interview with Neeka Rogers of Metal Nation, former Mushroomhead frontman Jeffrey Hatrix (also known as Jeffrey Nothing) talked openly about his ongoing fight with cancer. As reported by lambgoat, earlier this year, Hatrix made his diagnosis public, stating that he had originally intended to keep it a secret but decided to do so in order to gather money for his medical care. On the related GoFundMe, his daughter Mea described his current regimen as an alternative medicine routine that includes daily sauna sessions through Morse Healthcare in Florida, a fruit-and-vegetable-based diet, many tinctures, and capsules. Stacy, Hatrix’s wife, lost her own fight with cancer in April 2024.
I, unfortunately, lost my wife Stacy in April of 2024, and within a month I had been diagnosed myself. And I right then made the decision I was gonna fully natural. I sometimes got messages from people, ‘Rest in peace. Then you won’t be here next year at this time.’ But I don’t believe in the big medicine way of treatment. I think it’s what a lot of people end up being scared into. And I think if you do a little searching, you might find something that keeps you here without taking so much away.
So I did that treatment, and for one week I actually lived on grapes and grape juice, nine tinctures, two capsules three times a day for eight weeks. But I had, in that same time, spent time in my sauna. And a little while later I started hiking a lot. And I feel like I’m in the best shape of my life, but I also just like the exercise. Getting off the couch is very important. And I’m not gonna get to where I’m running marathons, I ran a lot when I was young, but I’m not really a fan now, but walking a lot, it helps you physically a lot, but it’s also a cool thing just getting out in nature and experiencing life that way.
