Actually I asked for a second opinion as I was told that the surgery might have to take out more organs than needed. As the tumor was close to the rectum the head surgeon thought that most likely I would end up with a permanent stoma - which I didn't want if not needed. particularly as I had read about the surgeon's approach in general of taking out as much as possible. So after my last chemo which was in September I asked for a second opinion and found the hospital I thought could help. Although the hospital I was at knew about my second opinion request I did it through my GP - and the second opinion was refused, the reason being that the plasma jet I was interested in was already at the hospital I was at. That dragged on and by November I asked my own hospital for a CT Scan as I was feeling pain. They had left me as they thought I had gone to the other hospital. In the end I got a CT scan in February 2019 after which the second chemo started as a cyst of 10 cm had developed in the primary tumor and also the secondary tumor had grown a bit. What made the diagnosis even more tragic was the fact that McLelland’s doctor had misdiagnosed her for years. Since cervical cancer is highly treatable in its early stages, her tragedy could have been avoided. 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.

For me this book is an absolute must read for all those dealing with a cancer diagnosis, either in the UK or worldwide, especially those with a higher stage who have been offered no ‘cure’. While every cell in your body uses glucose, cancer cells use about 200 times as much as healthy cells. Many types of cancer cells have more insulin receptors than healthy cells, making them respond to anything that increases insulin. Glucose feeds several anabolic processes that are enhanced in cancer cells and are vital for their proliferation.Now, 18 years after her initial cancer diagnosis—after battling cervical, lung, and blood cancers—McLelland is living the life of her dreams. She married the love of her life, and through the selflessness of a surrogate, was able to have two sons of her own. For example, if you limit protein, your body will break down muscle (which can lead to sarcopenia) and release amino acids that can fuel cancer growth. Insulin helps your cells to grow (i.e. anabolic) as well as to slow their breakdown (i.e. anti-catabolic).

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. At its essence, cancer is the excessive and continued growth of defective cells. Obesity, caused by a constant flow of excessive energy, fuels cancer growth. Hence, the first step in avoiding and starving cancer is to create a lower energy environment. This can be achieved by prioritising high satiety nutrient-dense foods and meals to achieve a more ideal body composition, thus reducing growth-related hormones (e.g. insulin, IGF-1, mTOR, etc.). 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.I was massively depressed. With cervical cancer, it’s not just about having a lump cut off,” she said. “Knowing that I would never have my own children was utterly devastating.” Our recipes are designed to give your body what it needs to recover and thrive (as much as possible) through the process of cancer management while minimising the nutrients that promote cancer growth.

We usually want to support healthy growth and repair (e.g. in the context of growing children or people who are building muscle). However, someone managing cancer needs to restrict the growth of cancer.

During her research on how to starve cancer, McClelland discovered a range of off-patent drugs that could effectively cut off cancer cells’ fuel sources. These medications offered an option for cancer patients to starve cancer cells without compromising the rest of their bodies. I'm certainly not put off reading Radical Remission because Chris Wark interviewed the lady who wrote it, any more than I'm put off reading Jane McLelland because she too did a video with Chris... I'm just grateful he does the interview videos at all, otherwise I might never have heard about either of these books.. A full micronutrient breakdown showing the vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and amino acids that you will obtain from every recipe. I will explain the basics of cancer metabolism and how you can target the numerous weak spots to increase your chances of a full remission. Throughout this time (from 1994 until 2004), Jane battled two aggressive cancers with metastatic spread, both were classed as ‘terminal’.

An environment that supports high levels of growth also corresponds to higher cancer growth. Some of the hormones that correspond with excessive growth in your body include insulin, mTOR and IGF-1.the difference between a 'starve' phase and a 'kill' phase with an introduction to the new treatment of ferroptosis Jane was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 1994 and did conventional treatment. In 1999 her cancer progressed to stage IV and she started incorporating complementary and alternative treatments alongside chemotherapy. In 2004 she started developing leukemia as a result of the chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy treatments she received.
