Cancer thrives in a body whose pH is acidic. Refined carbs and refined sugars tilt the body from it’s normal slightly alkaline pH to acidic.

So it seems that the diet restrictions would make sense. Cancer needs sugars/carbs to fuel it, and eating veggies and some fruits (simple unrefined sugars) would really cut off the fuel supply. Without fuel the cancer cells can’t sustain themselves.

But that would also cut nutrition to healthy cells, including immune cells that fight cancer. There are drugs that reduce blood vessel growth in tumors, which makes more sense.

Unless you have a severe metabolic disorder, you're not going to change the bodies PH by what you eat. The normal body functions of respiration, and the kidney function is designed to maintain a very precise PH balance.

That sounds good but it's a quack nutritionist claim.
The body works to maintain a very narrow range of ph. Just try breathing hard and you'll change the ph of your blood.
But only temporarily.
Take some ammonium chloride and the ph of the urine will change for a few days before the kidneys compensate and the urine ph returns to normal.
Vegetarians die of cancer too.
