I’m doing what I call modified Gerson for cancer, and so far it’s working. I also do hyperbaric chamber therapy and some supplements. I’ve had a hell of a time with docs; I went seven months without a specific diagnosis! My Cancer is extremely rare so now docs want to treat me just to have thier name on my case.
I despise the cancer industry. I pointed out in the beginning the things that just did not make sense and chemo centers hushed me and shuffled me out the door. I’ve been in many chemo centers and they all have “granola” bars, aka candy bars with some oats sprinkled on top, and Ensure. They push them on the chemo patients. They tell the patients to eat and drink whatever they want as long as they are eating and drinking. They push sugar on cancer patients! It’s disgusting.

Dr. Colin Champ (cavemandoctor.com) is a proponent of the ketogenic diet for cancer treatment. He’s at upmc and I’d love to meet with him. I plan on contacting him this summer.
Once my taste buds adjusted, the stuff with syrupy sugars and overprocessed food and foods which serve no nutritional function don't even taste good any more. My caloric intake is way down because the foods are so efficient.
I originally did this as part of detoxing to boost my immune system. FWIW, five years ago it was very difficult to find foods that meet these criteria. Today, if one knows what to consume, it's gotten much easier to choose foods that meet these criteria, both in groceries and from restaurants.
It's inconceivable that the detoxed, pure foods diet doesn't help ones body fight disease.
A lot of stuff out there about the whole grain breads being very bad for you. I don’t know.
I make my own bread using potatoes like they did 100 years ago, or you can get potato bread. I try to avoid the wheat and whole grains. Pumpernickel, jewish rye. My favorite is the potato breads.
I just had two strips of bacon this morning... lol
when i went to eating clean i actually went through what i called sugar withdrawls for about a week i felt pretty bad but once my body flushed out all the crap i felt 10 years younger
Eat meat,fish & salads, eggs & bacon, cut down on bread, eat a
little real butter; do not eat much sugar, just a little
honey, HFCS is for the birds IF you hate birds.
Cancer patients don’t need to starve to death; but that’s
what a lot of them end up doing on the SAD (Standard
American Diet).

Coke has only about 1.3 ounces of sugar per can.

The effect of sugar on cancer is well known. For example, see the book Anti-Cancer.
How many tsp is that?
wait a minute....that’s concentrated. I don’t think it’s a straight measurement.
Sorry, I think we’re both right... actually I’m wrong, I said 12 tespoons, is over 9tsps
http://www.livestrong.com/article/283136-how-many-teaspoons-of-sugar-are-there-in-a-can-of-coke/
Only 2 strips?
FWIW...a relative of mine who died of cancer last year was told by her cancer doc to cut the sugar...she didn’t want to
I am convinced that the diabetes epidemic is almost entirely caused by the levels of High Fructose Corn Syrup being added to our diet.
It is in orange juice, spaghetti sauce, damn near anything you can think of these days...
For those interested, there's also a website called chrisbeatcancer and he followed a strict diet to survive cancer.
No, lowered blood sugar is what causes the munchies. If you can keep from consuming carbs, you can actually lose weight.
