I have been told cancer loves sugar and alcohol.An alkaline diet and fasting is ideal. I am sticking to the latter.I ate a lot of cruciferous vegetable. I also try to eat a lot of bitter gourd and gully beans.I felt good when I consume these food.
I dont know if u can access podcasts in UK by Dr Robert Lustig, Dr Rick Johnson , Dr. Mark Hyman but they can give you more info on the need to decrease the intake of added sugars to remain metabolically healthy. Since the guest said it is hard for people in UK to access a nutritional professional I suggest buying the book C
Good Energy by Dr Casey Means. It gives general directions on how to stay metabolically healthy by monitoring your fasting blood sugar and fasting blood insulin levels. Insulin levels will rise 10 years before you become diabetic. If necessary pay out of pocket and have it done privately . Dr. Oriorden has been admirably honest about how hopefully in the past she had cereal for breakfast and toast for lunch. I ll be frank , this diet is grossly nutritionally deficient no matter what she had for dinner. And it's too high I n carbs. If you for followingthe 80/20 rule she recommends ,which essentially means every 5th day eat what you want .She mentions wine and chocolate cookies as an example. If you are eating/🍷 ng significant junk food every 5days I strongly recommend checking to see if you are staying metabolically healthy on this diet. Dr Means gives optimal levels of what your biomarkers should be. Also be aware that packaged ultraprocessed foods are formulated to be addictive, meaning g you may find it very difficult to abstain from them on your so called health days. Best Wishes
Thank you so much for taking the time to discuss and post. Very informative. Wishing you both the very best.
I just had surgery for bilateral DCIS, the R mass being 5 cm on MRI and 4cm at surgery ,!stage 0 well encapsulated no LN
I followed IF, keto diet lymphatics tx and low carbs no table sugars high protein and plant based fats, and castor oil packs trampolining and exercising on the trampoline 3-7miles combination of Walk run and light cardio
I love how I feel
I attribute my able to arrest the lump growth and being invasive to all those things that I did over the last 3 months
Thanks, Dr Liz… you are doing an amazing job to support us all 🥰
Everything in moderation? That was the best advice I got and avoid grapefruit but my cancer is hormonal based so that’s just right for me. You’re right about lack of nutritionists. Thank you for sharing very interesting.
Great article that answered many of my questions. Thank you! 🙏 Just wondering if we need to filter spring bottled water too? What about drinking vegan protein shakes? Are they ok?
Dr Liz--how much meat? How about fish and chicken? Can we have a little of that?
Nutrition will improve health . That improves everything .
Building health is important, something that is generally neglected in med school.
Hi could you let me know know about hrt and risk of breast cancer , Thank you
Thank you ladys
Dear Dr I watch your channel in France and appreciate your doing the research. I was unable to find stats on BMD loss. Some studies suggest that it is worse the first year on AI others don't. I am 68 and taking letrozole. the 2 year test showed that I am on the verge of osteopenia I wonder where it can fall down the next 3 years. I enrolled in a kettle bells club despite the fact that I couldn't find a trial on weightlifting and AI induced BMD loss. Sorry for the clumsy language and thank you for everything you do.
I don't take turmeric in supplement form ; is using it in culinary form okay ?
Thank you!! 💜🙏🥬 What about cruciferous vegetables as studied at Johns Hopkins by Dr. Jed Fahey… ie broccoli and broccoli sprouts??
I dont know about England specifically but water supplies throughout the USA arecontaminated with " forever chemicals" also known as PFAs .Bottomline , i filter my water.
I drink spring water and it’s delivered to me. Should I also filter this ?
Triple negative breast cancer, broken1 positive gene carrier, cancer, free, one year out my oncologist just turned down my pet scan order. What do I do? I want a PET scan once a year I was told to clear my mind and peace of mind. What do I do now?
Hi Jera are you in England??? I am in the United States so in the system here I would ask for a second opinion and/or appeal this oncologists decision. Just how is he proposing to monitor your cancer.?? Good luck
So interesting thank you
I am 66 yo
No hx of cancer in my family
No chronic illnesses or medical hx in my family
Practiced IF green juice fasting 5-7days week x 2 , exercised and dietary disciplined
Mammo was normal 1.5 years prior to a lump appearing by Self Exam
What's your counterargument to the metabolic model of cancer? You both seem to agree that there are at least hundreds of different breast cancer mutations. Doesn't this make the somatic mutation model less likely? A low sugar diet won't 'deprive all your cells of sugar' because there are no essential carbohydrates. So if you only eat protein and fat, your body still maintains a steady blood glucose level. If oncologists were able to explain how their treatments were meant to work, it would be easier to believe them. Instead, it seems we're invited to have faith in the established medical system, which doesn't seem very scientific.
You are correct , a low sugar diet will not " starve " your healthy cells due to a process calledgluconeogenesis
I'm surprised that a nutritionist would not suggest Organic food. If not Organic, then one would be ingesting harmful chemicals that negatively affects the immune system.
I absolutely agree in buying orgAnic whenever possible to avoid potentially carcinogenic pesticides especially roundup( glyphosate)
And alcohol is such a huge cancer link :(
Calcium supplements should be taken with vitaminD and with K2 . K2 will help the calcium go to thebones instead of soft tissues
What about cruciferous vegetables. They affect me badly with my hypothyroidism. Believe me I love these vegetables , but my thyroid just reacts to them EVEN when cooked to death.
Same here
What to eat for breakfast lunch and dinner ? Salad all day? No meat no coffee w cream non-dairy? No sugar or sweetener? Ever? Just plain water with lemon only? I'm 60 and have never had the discipline to "eat healthy" ugh
Sprouts off kitchen counter has live biotics. Out of garden too...eat greens. Greens greens greens for calcium.
Mam ,is it harmful to take flaxseed for a patient who had undergone treatment for breast cancer, can you please reply mam
Dr Thomas Steyfield ❤
Does black tea increase estrogen in estrogen driven breast cancer?
It will help you feel good, that's important, but it won't change things. Cancer is horrible, but what you eat, dont cause it or cure it, food is meant to be enjoyed, don't stop enjoying things beleaving it will change. But stay away from fast food it will make you sick in so many ways
8:30 Agree stay away from fast food, also stay away from ULTRAPROCESSED food ( high in added sugars, deficient in fiber) . American Heart Association recommend keeping added sugars to a maximum of 25 grams ( 6 teaspoons) for an adult woman. Generally the higher your intake of ultraprocessed food the higher the risk of death from all causes ( population based data). Look at the nutritional info for added sugars on( the packaging of ) ultraprocessed foods. Sodas and fruit juices are liquid sugar and not good for anyone.
Whole grains? Whaaaaa??
Can you please talk about cancer is a metabolic disease (Thomas Seyfried) cancer fuels on fermentation (glucose &glutamine) patients and survivors must strive to be in a glucose keotone index of 1 ...also know as Therapeutic ketosis. If we are eating fruit we have to be careful on the insulin response..basically glucose in body needs to be stable for Therapeutic ketosis where most cancers can not fuel from
They literally talked about this in the video
