What is this diet that’s supposed to help starve out cancer? Am asking for a family member with stage 3 stomach cancer.
First hand observance with my mother
Severe juicing with a badass juicer like a Norwalk cold presser which will set you back over 2500
But if you’re Nazi regimented and don’t cheat it’ll buy you six months on most bad assed cancers and is far easier to tolerate than chemo and avastin etc
Seen it with my own eyes daily....
It confuses how cancer feeds which is usually taking all the nutrition from healthy cells
But it takes discipline and will
It can on occasion create miracle results but at least buys some quality time
Chemo does not
Unless I’m 50/50 three years extra life after surviving chemo and radiation I’m gonna pass in favor of opioids and cocortisteroids
Who cares about Cushings at that point.
I don’t know if it works or not, though I have heard claims of both yes and no. It’s in the book mentioned in the OP, How to Starve Cancer by Jane McLelland. It’s more than just diet, but I believe it centers on a ketogenic diet and fasting, claiming some cancers require glucose to grow. Again I have no expertise here, and most western oncologists would probably consider it quackery and put her on chemo and radiation...
The article never got to the “cure” did it?
I would guess its a no carb or sugar diet since cancer can only feed off glucose and not protein.
But I haven’t read the book so that is only an educated guess.
My understanding is that Neurontin is an effective drug against the symptoms of Cushing’s.
I have that book. :(
My wife died four months ago from cancer. We went very low carb, as cancer feeds primarily on glucose. But your body always makes enough to keep the cancer alive.
Most cells in the body can run on an alternate fuel called ketones, which are produced by the liver when fat is broken down. Cancer cells cannot use ketones. In the late ‘60’s, Dr. George Cahill fasted a group of volunteers for forty days. He showed in starvation, the brain runs on two thirds ketones, one third glucose. He then infused insulin, forcing glucose to a very low level. Normally, this would be fatal, but the subject had no ill effects, as the brain actually prefers ketones to glucose.
Adam Kapelner, a math professor, has proposed a cancer treatment based on Dr. Cahill’s research. He was a guest on the Keto Savage podcast. I think it’s about an hour long. Very interesting:

His paper is here:

So sorry to hear that. God be with you sir.
Thank you, Laz.
Jane’s book covers her strategy of cutting off the energy supply to abnormal cells, killing both the fast dividers as well as the stem cells. She has devised a plan that uses cheap off-label Rx drugs, natural supplements, a low GI diet, and exercise to cut off glucose metabolism, glutamine metabolism, and fat metabolism, giving cancer cells no quarter to survive. It is a very difficult book to read, but it is all hard science.
The Care Oncology Clinic in London is sponsoring a massive clinical study involving thousands of patients using 5 cheap off-label drugs to defeat almost every type of cancer.
This is all happening right now and chances are your local oncologist knows nothing about it.
Thank you for posting that. I now have to deal with this so will report back. It lists the drugs and says they work with US Providers

Condolences on your loss. It’s hard, I know.
Very sorry for your loss. Prayers for you.
#4. Don’t know what a Norwalk cold presser is but at that cost, wouldn’t it be a good idea to get a group of cancer patients/insurance to chip in and buy one or two for all of them to use on an alternating basis, or to put one in a common place (i.e. hospital) where they could come in and use the machine.
I had the end of Stage 1 pancreatic Cancer (Whipple Procedure to do a vegematic chop job inside to remove part of the Pancreas, some of the liver, bile duct, fats, etc), followed by Chemo pills (Capecetabine), Infusions and then Cape and radiation therapy.
Given an 85% chance of the cancer not coming back. If it does, more infusions, pills and radiation without any guaranteed results.
Have found that there are foundations which help pay for or help defray some of the costs for very expensive meds including Capecetabine and Eliquis.
Check with your doctors and pharmachists/pharmacy attacked to your insurance policies for further information about this badly needed financial aid program.
Hope everyone gets all the help they can. Fighting cancer is worth it, even if you lose in the end (both my parents died of resp., liver cancer and Leukemia - my father died shortly after his operation because his internal systems were too badly damaged. My mother got a year and a half to spent with her grandchildren).
Otherwise, you’ll surrender too early and lose precious time with your family and friends.
Neurontin is abused pretty heavy in conjunction with opiodsm
Some folks like it
Made me. Sleepy

Seeing people talk about hydroxychloriquine for cancer....
I’ve been on 400 mg. x 4 daily for 15 years. No side-effects I can determine. I’m so damn sick and tired of these pillheads looking for a cheap buzz, and ruining it for the rest of us who need it.
