A study by MSK found that a high-fiber, plant-based diet may delay progression to multiple myeloma in at-risk individuals. Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) have announced results from the first clinical trial to demonstrate that a high-fiber, plant-based dietary intervention may delay the progression to multiple myeloma—a rare and currently incurable blood cancer that affects the bone marrow.
The study involved 20 participants diagnosed with a precancerous blood disorder and an elevated body mass index (BMI), placing them at higher risk for developing multiple myeloma. Over 12 weeks, participants followed a high-fiber, plant-based meal plan and received an additional 24 weeks of dietary coaching. Notably, two participants who had shown advancing disease prior to the trial experienced a significant improvement in their disease progression trajectory.
Additionally, at one year after enrollment, none of the participants had progressed to multiple myeloma. MSK myeloma specialist and NUTRIVENTION study lead, Urvi Shah, MD, presented these findings at the 2024 American Society of Hematology (ASH) annual meeting in San Diego, California.
Nutrition and Immune System Strength “This study showcases the power of nutrition—specifically a high fiber plant-based diet—and unlocks a better understanding of how it can lead to improvements in the microbiome and metabolism to build a stronger immune system,” said Dr. Shah. “These findings further support how we as physicians can empower patients, especially those with precancerous conditions, with knowledge on reducing their cancer risk through dietary changes.”
Multiple myeloma is the second most common blood cancer and typically arises from precursor conditions called monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering (symptomless) myeloma. Recent studies have shown an increased risk of multiple myeloma in individuals with poor diet quality and reduced intake of plant foods. Additionally, individuals with these conditions and an elevated body mass index (BMI) are twice as likely to progress to multiple myeloma as people with these conditions and a normal BMI. With this information, researchers have been looking for ways to intervene before these conditions can progress to cancer.
During the study, participants were encouraged to eat as much as they wanted if it was whole plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and legumes. With these dietary changes, there were significant improvements in quality of life, insulin resistance, gut microbiome health, and inflammation. On average, participants lost eight percent of their body weight after 12 weeks. Following these positive results, Dr. Shah is currently enrolling for a larger, multi-center study with 150 participants called NUTRIVENTION-3.
These findings were confirmed in a smoldering myeloma mouse model where 44% of mice fed the high-fiber diet did not progress to myeloma compared to the standard diet where all mice progressed to myeloma.

Funding for this trial was provided by the American Society of Hematology, the National Cancer Institute, the Allen Foundation Inc, the Paula and Rodger Riney Foundation, the Solomon Fund, the Italian Association for Cancer Research, and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
“High-Fiber Plant-Based Diet Found To HALT Progression of Incurable Blood Cancer”
“A study by MSK found that a high-fiber, plant-based diet may DELAY progression to multiple myeloma in at-risk individuals.”
Well, which is it? “Halt” or “Delay”, different meanings, with “delay” implying that you’re still hosed.
As it is, the key to controlling cancer is to simply to get into Ketosis as cancer requires glucose for its survival...so stop eating carbs!
Meanwhile, on a tangentially related note, just ran across this from late 2021, add another one to the list...

The study participants had high BMIs to begin with, and it’s known that there’s “increased risk of multiple myeloma in individuals with poor diet quality.” These folks were in bad shape, nutritionally and metabolically, when the study began. Any improvement to their diet would be . . . an improvement, and they had “coaches” to keep them on track. Just think what their results might have been if they’d switched to a keto / carnivore diet instead of to a vegetarian diet! They were starved for nutriment.
Yeah, I was also thinking that - just going Vegan gets them off some of the worst food items known to humans (such as seed oils and most processed ‘foods’), but it’s still a halfway measure towards really controlling cancer.
Not “high fiber” but “low sugar” - possible with a vegan diet but easier with a carnivore one.
20 people, 12 weeks, additional factors besides food - ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS “STUDY”!
Sorry, but the amount of incredibly bogus, meaningless, STUPID “studies” that get published and repeated breathlessly by the press drives me nuts.
Sorry about your friend.
A truly good friend is worth more than gold, and may only happen once or twice in a man’s life.
Based on the study, here's a comprehensive approach to implementing a high-fiber, plant-based diet that may help delay progression to multiple myeloma:
Key Dietary Principles:
- Focus on whole plant-based foods
- Emphasize fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and legumes
- Eat as many whole plant foods as desired
- Aim for high fiber intake
- Prioritize nutrient-dense, unprocessed foods
Suggested Daily Menu:
Breakfast Options:
- Overnight oats made with steel-cut oats, chia seeds, berries, and plant-based milk
- Whole grain toast with avocado, topped with mixed seeds
- Smoothie with spinach, banana, mixed berries, ground flaxseeds, and plant-based protein powder
Morning Snack:
- Apple slices with almond butter
- Mixed raw nuts and seeds
- Fresh fruit with a handful of walnuts
Lunch Options:
- Large salad with mixed greens, quinoa, roasted vegetables, chickpeas
- Lentil and vegetable soup with whole grain bread
- Buddha bowl with brown rice, black beans, roasted sweet potatoes, and mixed vegetables
Afternoon Snack:
- Carrot sticks with hummus
- Homemade trail mix with nuts, seeds, and dried fruits
- Whole grain crackers with bean dip
Dinner Options:
- Stir-fried tofu with mixed vegetables and brown rice
- Black bean and vegetable chili
- Stuffed bell peppers with quinoa, beans, and vegetables
Additional Recommendations:
1. Stay hydrated with water, herbal teas
2. Avoid processed foods
3. Aim to lose weight if BMI is elevated
4. Consume a wide variety of plant-based foods to ensure diverse nutrient intake
Potential Benefits Observed in Study:
- Improved gut microbiome health
- Reduced inflammation
- Better insulin sensitivity
- Weight loss (average 8% body weight in 12 weeks)
Important Notes:
- Consult with a healthcare professional before making significant dietary changes
- Individual nutritional needs may vary
- This diet is a supportive approach, not a guaranteed prevention method
The menu provides high fiber, nutrient-dense options that align with the study's plant-based, whole food approach. The key is variety, abundance of plant foods, and minimal processed ingredients.
Science catching up to the Bible. God’s original diet or all beings......even animals.....was purely vegetarian.
Genesis 1 verses 29 and 30:
29 And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. 30 Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is [i]life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so.
And sadly wouldn’t have helped that cancer fight anyway

No, it doesn't.
Going vegan means you are eating magnitudes more highly processed crap and seed oils.

PART 3
Almost every case of capillary leak following 'vaccination' that has been reported to the government's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) in the past 30+ years is for Covid 'vaccines'.
There are only two non-Covid vaccine reports for cappillary in VAERS, but one of those received both a Covid shot and Influenza shot, so both Covid and Influenza vaccines receive the report. The other report for shingles is missing so much informaiton I can't be sure that person didn't also receive a Covid shot. And VAERS only receives reports for about 1% or less of actual occurences.
