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

Product Information

On the subject of Chris, I don't even know what diet he actually follows precisely, other than he did some fairly strict regimes in the early days after his surgery, and that now he seems to be mostly whole food plant based,organic where possible. Given he lives in America, I am aware its probably much more important to make an effort with diet, since a lot of their food wouldn't even be allowed here, which might be why everyone thinks he's obsessed with diet.

McLelland discovered that there were numerous drugs on the market designed for other purposes (like heart disease or infections) that could go beyond diet and supplements to effectively cut off cancer’s various fuel lines. These drugs are considered “off-label,” since they were developed for conditions other than cancer. Innovative thinking, campaigner and qualified physiotherapist, Jane McLelland has combined her skills and experience to create a radical alternative medicine method. A unique career, highlighted with life changing ventures, Jane McLelland makes for a fascinating and educational event speaker, able to capture an audience's attention with her incredible story. Another key, off-label drug McLelland learned about from reading Life Extension was the diabetes drug, metformin. Metformin is critical for starving cancer because it cuts off cancer’s supply to glucose and insulin, and reduces IGF-1. In addition to medical intervention, we believe that lifestyle and dietary changes will give you a MUCH better chance of long term success. The diet to prevent cancer is not the same as when you have cancer NOTE: Some of the drugs and supplements in these protocols can interact resulting in serious side effects. They should only be taken under the supervision of your doctor.As for why some survive and many don't, I'll repeat here what the Senior Oncologist said to me when I had a long chat with him after my surgery. He told me that people left his department after treatment with an extremely good prognosis, and sometimes died within months; others left with a very poor prognosis, and were still around 10 years later - and they have no idea why. I must say I was full of admiration at his complete honesty, it must take a lot for a fully qualified and senior consultant to admit they don't know why, but he did... Sadly, they don't follow up what patients do or don't do during and after their treatment, so if they had done anything that might have made a difference, oncology would never know about it. Somewhat remiss of them, I'd have thought... but its a deeply complicated thing, to be fair. And a breast cancer patient who was told by her oncologist she was going to die is still alive and well, going to the gym, working as a nurse, and living a full life—all as a result of following McLelland’s approach to starving her cancer. Many people with cancer are insulin resistant. High levels of insulin is typically accompanied by elevated blood sugars (i.e. diabetes or pre-diabetes). Jane is a natural revolutionary, a powerful speaker and a brave and passionate advocate of fellow cancer sufferers. She spends much of her day coordinating cancer care for patients, researching off label drugs and providing up to date information for her thousands of followers in her Facebook group. While researchers are yet to isolate which specific compounds and nutrients in foods provide the benefit, there is no argument that a nutritious whole food diet is beneficial when it comes to cancer.

A cancer diagnosis was terrifying enough, but what McLelland struggled with most was the fact that she would never be able to have her own biological children.

Keep yourselves healthy, stay mentally strong, and remain aware crew. Keep your eyes open, question everything. That;s just it, you don't know - when someone comes up with a new theory, idea or treatment, until its been tried and proven many times, there's no way of knowing. But we still need those people who come up with those theories, ideas and treatments, alternative or otherwise, before any scientific solid evidence can be proven. We need to starve malignant cells while also nourishing the person who has cancer (the host) at the same time. You speak from my heart and brain there, Bibs... I heartily agree with you, and my scepticism is very much broad based and includes medicine and pharma. The big pharmas and Cancer Research are all really looking for a single silver bullet answer, a treatment that will be a cure, and I don't think there will ever be one. 1 in 2 people will now get cancer of some sort - five years ago, it was 1 in 3, and 50 years ago, it was something like 1 in 6. Sadly, I strongly suspect its not just diet that's causing the problem, though it plays a highly significant role in the West particularly, but can also be attributed to the levels of pollution of various kinds in the sea, the air we breathe and in the soil - and what's in the environment ends up in our food, so we're not just breathing it in and drinking and washing in it, we're also eating it. Nano particles of plastic are at 87% saturation in the air in the UK; in the USA, its 99%, and I can't remember the saturation in the oceans (and therefore in sea life). And that's without the usual ozone, No2, particulates and more common air pollutants. Add in nutrient poor food grown with chemical fertilisers in poor, depleted soil, sprayed with chemicals (often systemic ones in non organic foods, so it can't be washed off, its in the fibres of the food), the glyphosate residue on every non organically grown grain crop, and in some countries, antibiotic and growth hormone levels in meats and poultry, and the chemical load is really very high indeed in the human body. Much of this we can't do anything about, but changing one's diet to preferably organic, especially organic breads and flours and grains, reducing meat and dairy are things we can do to at least reduce this chemical load. Though to be fair, this would be better done before getting cancer to try to prevent it in the first place, but usually, economics prevents doing this for many families.

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 gives a true and honest account of what must’ve been a horrific time for her. You get drawn into Jane’s story and you can’t help but admire and be in awe of her tenacity and her absolute belief that she could beat her cancer. It’s personal enough to feel her pain and certainly as a cancer sufferer to feel empathy for the despair of chemo side effects and having no hair etc but also its educational and I’ve already started reading it again with a pen and paper. We have spent some time looking at how the different nutrients would change the nutritional recommendation and found that the base recommendations for cancer are most useful. From there, you can look to overlay specific drugs or targetted supplements that may be beneficial. Weight gain Throughout this time (from 1994 until 2004), Jane battled two aggressive cancers with metastatic spread, both were classed as ‘terminal’. So far, we’ve talked about the approaches to maximise nutrients while also maximising satiety for weight loss and insulin resistance. But there are other people with cancer who need to gain weight.From our analysis of forty thousand days of data from Optimisers, we see that as people increase the nutrient density of their diet, they naturally tend to consume fewer calories. Rather than simply trying to restrict your intake, successful long term weight loss requires a shift towards improved diet quality. Fat and ketones
