Jane McLellandHow to Starve Cancer

If you have been diagnosed with cancer, buy this book and find the pathway to help you heal. Truly helpful and insightful.

In my idea anybody with cancer should read this book and if its difficult for you to understand all I recommend her online courses

Este libro esta escrito por una mujer increible e inspiradora que ha logrado sobrevivir un cancer de ovarios avanzado gracias a su tenacidad e investigacion. El libro parte de la premisa que el cancer es una enfermedad metabolica y no genetica como hasta ahora se ha pensado, por lo que su tratamiento ha de ser diferente. Jane ha descubierto que se puede combatir la enfermedad con la combinacion de farmacos ya existentes, hasta ahora no utilizados para el cancer, como la metformina, que pueden actuar en sinergia en contra de la enfermedad. La premisa que el cancer es una enfermedad metabolica y no genetica implica un cambio de paradigma y ofrece esperanzas para lograr la ansiada cura.Jane cLelland's book is written by an amazing and inspirational woman who has beaten Stage 4 ovarian cancer. It is very well researched and the premise to treat cancer from a metabolic approach using off label drugs could be a real game changer. It is very interesting that the Care Oncology Clinic are currently carrying out a research with some of the repurposed drugs mentioned in the book. Jane is really onto something here and it seems that the metabolic approach is the way to go!

I initially hesitated to write a review and NOT because this 'game-changer' of- if I may say so- THE ultimate Do It Yourself Cancer -Compendium was not 'worthy'! Quite the opposite in fact! No, it was because all the other wonderfully uplifting and heart warming reviews on Amazon echoed MY sentiments absolutely!I was diagnosed with Stage 3c ('at least', as my Oncologist poetically put it!...), Ovarian/Peritoneal Cancer in July 2016; and I had my 1st Chemo'; whilst in hospital being 'drained' of malignant ascites the day before my birthday!!! after the unspeakable mind-numbing disbelief I was quickly 'swallowed up' in the Cancer virtual 'reality' world with rounds of Clinic and hospital appointments. I was given 6 IV treatments of 3 weekly Carboplatin/Paclitaxel, Chemotherapy. At the end of my 4 months Chemotherapy I 'enjoyed' (I was on a 'high', having 'escaped' all the evil 'doings' that those drugs could have dumped on my compromised system) a brief respite before I had a complete Hysterectomy in January 2017, with an appendectomy thrown in for free! I recovered quickly and withoutcomplications/serious side effects. Consequently I felt 'reborn' when 'It' was ALL OVER and I could just get on with my life; after all I (naively!) reasoned had I not kicked Breast Cancer's (stage 2B oestrogen receptive with 6 FEC Chemotherapy treatments followed by 4 weeks of Radiotherapy a subsequent Mastectomy?) ass in 2004 without a backward glance? Silly silly me!The only thing I may say here is that grief,poor sleep patterns, CHOCOLATE, low thyroid and general dissatisfaction with one's life did NOfavours for yours truly.....enter my next and brand 'new' Cancer 12 years on!My carefree 'Cancer-free' existence screeched to an unexpected and ungracious halt: at the beginning of this year, I had my recurrence 'It' re-visited me (actually the malevolent 'goblIns'/ aka stem-cells had NEVER left me had they?) and I was once more in the 'Ovarian-world' and starting the familiar rounds of Chemotherapy. I am still having Chemotherapy 8+ months on although I now have weekly 'taxol' having sustained 2 allergic reactions to Carboplatin.Enough of moi and enter the INDOMITABLE J McLELLAND and her, to quote Professor Thomas Seyfried, 'monumental accomplishment'....If I had NOT stumbled across such a book-although I would call it a silent but dynamic 'friend' constantly cheering you on - I KNOW that my Palliative Cancer would have the last word sooner rather than later, because my particular treatment options are rather sparse on the ground....THIS is the power of Jane's gift and offering of both herself and ALL the scientific, Oncological, data and scrupulously, meticulously backed up information that she brings to bear on all who take the opportunity to avail themselves of nothing less than a dazzling vista that demonstrates the palpable, exciting hope and ultimately Cancer-free progression that her 'OFF LABEL DRUGS COMBO'; in conjuction with the low GI diet and careful 'relevant' supplementation can/does achieve!!! For the first time the previously hard to assimilate intricacies and the living realities that are 'multi-pathways', are mercilessly sliced open with the cool precision of any consummate surgeon and revealed to us non medical persons! Blimey! We can now truly be pro active with our treatments and beyond because we now 'have the power'!!!! If we so choose of course.Since I started the Off Label Drugs Protocol at The Care Oncology Clinic, I have noticed 'changes' to my condition; without going into all the highly personal and 'delicate' details, I was having serious 'problems' in my pelvic region and in a relatively short period of time those symptoms have improved considerably! At first I thought it was just a 'coincidence' and that it was soley the 'taxol' that I was having but I am now convinced that the real improvement has been facilitated - aided and abetted by the 'taxol' - by the 3 off label drugs that I take: METFORMIN, DOXYCYCLINE, ATORVASTIN and 'VERMOX', alongside Jane's 'favourite' Berberine plus a few more others!Finally I urge all you who have any reason whatsoever at all to want to read such a 10 STAR BOOK, then please DO if only for one reason; nothing short than A LIFE; of light and hope exists for those of us who have felt 'reigned in grief' and powerless with our prognosis and the inevitable that surely awaited; more Chemotherapy until the body just 'gave up the ghost'....Jane explains ALL this and so much more in a captivating and compassionate narrativeIf 'Fortune favours the brave' , it unequivocably DID with THIS author !!!!

This book should be a must read for anyone touched by cancer. So much useful information. Great book to show how alternative therapies can work alongside modern conventional medicine.
