"Cancer as a metabolic disease" seems to be getting popular, but traditional oncologists are very suspicious of those approaches. Cases like Steve Jobs gave them a bad reputation, but they should be considered as an addition to traditional therapy, rather than a replacement. It is also harder to design and fund such a study - e.g. dietary changes or repurposed medicine like Metformin may not work accross different cancer types or even different geographies, based on local dietary patterns - especially if expecting the same effects in America, Europe and Asia. Someone has to pay for a study, and it's easier to find funding for $10,000 per month therapy rather than a dietary change or a generic diabetes drug.

Fasting. I started out with the 16:8 IF protocol and worked my way up over time to 1 day fasts , 3 day, 5 day, 7 day and my longest was a 12 day. I have also done eating every other day or every two days (in a 4 hour window) for 3-4 months.

My diet is basically Meat, Eggs, Coniferous Vegetables, Salads when I do eat. I never eat anything processed, I have only had a handful of Berries every few weeks as a treat otherwise I avoid all fruit, bread, pasta, rice, sugar, dairy and drink water, coffee and tea.

I have lost over 100 pounds, and completely eliminated every ache, pain, sleep problem and some other health issues. I feel like I'm in my early 20's again.

If you are interested in Cancer and diet, this book came highly recommended.
