How to Starve Cancer: The Discovery of a Metabolic Cocktail that could Transform the Lives of Millions

Product Information

Metformin: Originally a diabetes medication, Metformin can also cut off the supply of glucose and insulin to cancer cells. While we can decrease the availability of the nutrients that tend to fuel cancer the most, you need to be aware that cancer can adapt and change fuel sources.

Jane McLelland McLelland was reluctant about writing her book, but she felt she had a duty to share with the world what she had discovered—and what had saved her life. However, McLelland cautions that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Her own experience with her various forms of cancer highlight that fact. Instead, McLelland’s approach focuses on learning which fuel sources your particular cancer uses—and then creating a targeted treatment plan based on that information. impaired methylation (involved in gene activation/deactivation, DNA protection, detoxification, etc.), Since then I heard that both hospitals are closely linked which might also have influenced the refusal. Plus the fact that they have private patients as well as NHS. And my case they probably don't want .. two cancers and 68 !

McClelland started aggressively taking supplements to inhibit pathways for cancer cells. These included the following: However, we also need to consider that each of the approaches is designed intentionally to drive a higher energy intake (in the case of weight gain) and a lower energy intake (in the case of the maximum nutrient density recipes. To correct for this, we have adjusted the nutrient intakes, with a 30% deficit for the maximum nutrient density recipes and a 30% calorie excess for the weight gain recipes.

Well, it must be nice to feel supported by religious belief; I don't, I personally utterly reject religion; it requires too much suspension of disbelief and there are too many man made illogical stories and rules for me. I do not believe in judgement, nor heaven and hell either. But that does not mean I have no spirituality, I just tend to express it in psychological terms instead - its just man's version of religion I reject; all roads lead home anyway, in the end, so it doesn't really matter which belief route you take through life.

Metabolic pathways are the fuel lines cancer cell uses to grow and spread! Metabolic Pathways (Fuel lines) i did change my diet, taking up a slightly flexitarian, whole food plant based approach, but based on Dr. Greger's work, not Chris Wark's and I did that primarily to try to change my gut microbiome, which I suspected was in pretty poor condition. The thing I like very much about Chris Wark are his video interviews with hundreds of other people with different approaches to cancer... one of the interviews he did was with Kelly A.Turner, the writer of 'Radical Remission', also an ex oncology nurse who switched to integrative cancer treatment rather than the classic oncology approach, so I'm not exactly following Chris Wark, but give the bloke his due - he's very open to what other people say and the methods they use, whether he uses those methods himself or not.She does advise a low GI diet and many supplements, but I don't find the dietary advice particularly strict. I know I tend to be… WORDY. So, with real effort to keep my words at a minimum but my thoughts coherent, here’s my 2 cents worth: Jane McClelland’s journey with cancer began when she was diagnosed with stage IV cervical cancer, for which she underwent conventional treatment. However, a few years later, she received another devastating diagnosis of stage IV lung cancer, and was considered terminal. She was diagnosed with stage IV cervical cancer 20 years ago and she beamed her cancer with her wisdom and science.

Thanks for that. Good to hear that is not the norm. And yes this is a great group. So needed for those with OC.

While my children were at their one-day school, I had a physiotherapy appointment and then my second immunotherapy infusion. Both these appointments took place at the same private cancer treatment centre. If her remarkable recovery and it’s route is to be believed then there is potential hope for all mankind, however I remain sceptical. My thought is that if her methodology is proven, the point is pressed that her book is endorsed by a ‘London clinic’, and she has been on this journey since her early thirties and is now in her fifties, and given that intense research is continuing worldwide to find a cure for all cancers and she claims to have discovered the route to stop all cancer cells thriving, then why are we still having people die from this insidious disease? Why haven’t the medical professionals embraced and taken on board her research and provided the information and subsequent treatment to us all? One size certainly does not fit all, all of us here have or have had ovarian cancer or know a lady who has been diagnosed, I would guess we have all had similar treatments yet some of us responded to the treatment and others didn’t which kind of proves the point.

There is still a role for targeted drugs and other therapies in the effective treatment of cancer under the guidance of your medical team. On a more positive note, this week I want to share with you an exciting article out that clearly shows the metabolic rewiring that occurs with chemotherapy, this is not exactly news to most of you as you knew that already, right? What I like about the new research discipline of metabolomics is the ability to pinpoint exactly what is happening in a cluster of cells, by examining the chemical fingerprint left behind by the metabolic processes, rather than looking at what is happening in 2D in a petri dish. It is a far more accurate way of finding out how the cell is behaving and reacting to its environment.

One common question in the development of these recipe books was whether someone using these recipes would still need to supplement. There may be benefits in supplementing to achieve the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) if these minimum requirements cannot be met by food alone, however, supplementing above these levels may be unnecessary and potentially risky. Jane’s experiences, bravery and dogged refusal to give up gave me hope and confidence that I could help my father. Cancer is viewed as an insidious, unknown enemy and woe betide the patient who asks too many questions. It is a minefield and Jane’s book makes it a LOT easier to navigate. While limiting some specific amino acids appears to be beneficial for cancer management, we believe that nutrition should be primarily about prioritising the nutrients that you require to thrive. Once you give your body the things it needs, it has a better chance of being able to repair naturally.
