The Best Diet for Cancer Patients

What diet should oncologists recommend? The number one cause of death from breast cancer patients may actually still be cardiovascular disease, making dietary choices critical for survival.

    My mom was given 2 months left to live due to stage 4 breast cancer. She is now going strong after 6 months. I completely changed her diet to whole foods and organic if possible. Family also sneaks in bad food for her, but the main thing is she's not eating processed junk food anymore. I have her on Fenbendazole, high doses of vitamin C IV drip, and Rick Simpson oil (cbd/thc). What a game changer!! She was unable to assist herself to the bathroom, but now that I have her on these protocols, she's able to go to the bathroom by herself, she has meat in her face now and gained a few pounds!!!!!

    The reason is there is no emphasis on exercise on a vegan diet and no focus on maintaining a healthy weight. Macrobiotic wins in all those categories. Macrobiotic diets also focus on sprouted grains and food combing. Vegans typically over consume fruits though everyone thinks it's a healthy food, it can be in moderation.

    Because people with cancer lose weight. Telling them to follow a made up strict diet diet at that time is irresponsible. They need to maintain their weight to get through treatment. If they are limited to specific foods, that further decreases what they will eat on top of side effects ie due to nausea/taste changes/sore mouth ect. If you have cancer, eat what you can, eat what you fancy.

    If you read the warnings for the chemo drugs, cardiac arrest is one of the potential side effects. Chemo often causes secondary cancers. And it weakens people so much that they suffer falls which happened to a friend of mine. She cracked some ribs, a blood clot formed and traveled to her heart. So she really died of complications of the chemo not the cancer.

    Cancer is NOT caused by mutations in our DNA. It's caused by disruption of the mitochondria in the cytoplasm, which then causes damage to the DNA in the nucleus. Read Dr Thomas Seyfried's book, "Cancer As A Metabolic Disease", or look at one of the many Seyfried videos KZread. This does not make Michael Greger's dietary advice in this video wrong. Not at all. However, understanding the metabolic theory of cancer, as opposed to the conventional somatic mutation theory of cancer, provides an understanding of WHY Michael Greger's advice in this video works.

    The name WFPD alienates a lot of people from considering it regardless because they use the word plants in the name. In a lot of circles that has a negative connotation. In order for people to consider it has a lot to do with there current health condition and there social network, the farther it is from mainstream eating the less likely it becomes for people to consider it regardless of how healthy it might be for them. Some of it has to do with education or what part the country your from etc. I know that sounds strange but people are influenced by the company they keep. So no matter how compelling a diet might be there has to be acceptance and support for people to stick with it. No one wants to be an outcast and people can be cruel so that is a factor. So I think how you market a good thing has to be done in away that is not too over the top and education plays a big part of it as well and why people like Dr. Greger are so important in delivering the message. The more health care practitioners get the word out to there patients the more a WFPD will gain acceptance. Doctors add credibility and a lot of people listen to them when they don't push pills. We're only beginning to discover all the benefits WFPD but not everyone has gotten the message yet and those who have my still be reluctant because they don't have the support network to follow through with it. I have family members who have gotten dramatic benefits that have NAFLD and Type 2 diabetes but they have a hard time sticking to it because they don't have the support none of their friends, spouses or other family members even know they even have these health issues. Most people don't understand that majority of diseases we have are self inflicted by poor diet and lifestyle. So no matter what you call it awareness and education is part of the solution but it takes decades to make changes unfortunately for some people that is too long.

    There is a person who "beat" cancer-------Chris Wark. His protocols are quite valuable. I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian. At my community health food store, there have been stories circulating for years, about people receiving a cancer diagnosis, turning to a vegetarian diet and ultimately healing. All the food I purchase is organic. One has to understand what cancer is, and the underlying cause, before you battle it. High anti-oxidant intake can "neutralize" the effects of the Chemo molecules, therefore protecting the cancer. The Chemo drugs contain molecules that bombard the cancer cells with high levels of oxidative stress , in order to "kill" the malignant cells. High anti-oxidant intake "react" with the Chemo pharmaceuticals and "neutralize" them leaving the cancer cells unchallenged. Many plant foods contain chemicals/molecules that have the ability to induce apoptosis in cancer cells by disrupting critical metabolic steps.

My family has a massive history of heart disease and cholesterol issues. My sister has been a vegetarian for 35 years, and has really high cholesterol (LDLs and triglycerides). My other sister is about the same with health issues, but eats a decent omnivore healthy diet. My dad (in his mid-70s) has been a vegetarian almost 20 years, while on statins, and continues to struggle with high LDL and triglyceride levels. I focus on the quality of my food. I eat lots of fats (even bacon!), and some veggies for most meals. Meat or eggs in almost all meals. I FEEL GREAT, and my health is excellent. All bodies and genetics are a little different.

They can just easily lie without providing any proof or just placebo effect. It would be safer for everyone to stick to evidence-based health advice like Nutritionfacts. I'm eating whole food plant based diet, avoided meat/animal products and did a lot better to my body, and I also have a low LDL since I started this diet, proof?

    The statement at :19 implies that “ductal carcinoma of the breast” is not “serious cancer”. That is not accurate. IBreast cancers can develop in the ducts or the lobes and ductal carcinoma is most common. Its “seriousness” is indicated in designation of stages 1-4 which use multiple measures to estimate how much the cancer has invaded other parts of the body, how fast it is growing, what types of receptors are driving growth and what treatments may be helpful. Ductal carcinoma “in situ” has not yet moved beyond the duct in which it formed. In some cases it will never spread but in other cases it will progress to a stage 1-4 cancer. Because of this some people choose not to pursue treatment at this stage, but we do not yet have tests that can tell us which cases will be harmless and which will grow and become invasive killers. Designating DCIS in general as “not serious” ignores differences in tumor size, growth rate and receptor type and takes decision making power away from women, who should be encouraged to make their own decisions to watch-and-wait or treat now with their medical team. In this video, brushing aside all “ductal carcinoma” as not a serious cancer is potentially dangerous and irrelevant to the topic.

    Hospitals, doctors offices and schools should be places where good nutrition is taught and provided not places that contribute to disease and obesity. It is crazy the hospitals are feeding people the very food that caused the heart disease, high blood pressure or cancer that they are treating. Every person in the hospital should receive some nutrition education before being released. Every doctor visit should be an opportunity to educate patients about how food choices impacts their health outcomes. The fact that doctors do not get nutrition training as part of their training makes no sense. Medicare and Medicaid should require nutrition education as part of patient care. Focus should be on food choices.

Then again, the best way to actually find the best diet for cancer patients is to have many subjects following different diets.

    A common myth: You can not "starve" a tumor if you avoid sugar. Although cancer metabolism requires more glucose, the cells have also much MUCH more glucose transporter. Sadly you would starve your entire body first before even inhibiting the cancer. Obviously there are other issues with an OVERconsumption of sugar, tho in many critical cancer patient cases we have to keep in mind that its already a blessing if they keep eating the food at all.

My rbc, hemoglobin, & hematocrit also went down to the point of transfusion during chemo treatment (bones & blood making are impaired during chemo treatment). But once my trtmnt finished, all my blood work returned to normal. When the rbc's, etc., were low, my b-vitamins & iron were checked to make sure that was not the cause. They were actually in the high-normal range so taking additional iron would have done no good and would have possibly beenharmful which is known to the cancer community. Keeping my iron and b's up was a priority for me so I ate lots of greens during chemo (which my doc also said to do). To make it easier, I used both canned and frozen greens for greater ease. Hope my experience may be useful to you. And good luck to you.
