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.

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.

I was wondering if a diet very rich in antioxidants could be unfavorable during Radiotherapy. Sadly, no studies yet.

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.

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 RU-vid. 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.

I had all kinds of health and other issues (gastrointestinal, energy level, brain fog) during the 12 years I was vegetarian, vegan, raw food, etc. Over the past 10 years (I’m in my mid-40s), I began eating LOTS of organic grass-fed meats, 15-20 eggs per week (from my own happy free range chickens), and all of my blood work is immaculate. 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.

In a study, researchers, oncologists, etc. found that people on chemo and /or radiation, who took mega doses of anti-oxidants had bad outcomes.

Instead the treatments become neutralized.

@@berek7000that’s because bloodwork is just blood work. You’re not getting everything in one series of labs. Meat based keto diets trick your blood work into looking great by bringing your blood sugar all the way down to normal levels, but the minute you begin eating fruits again it shoots right back up. That’s because blood work is just blood work. What really happened in this scenario is that they quit eating all fruits and vegetables, continued eating meat, but never healed the disease at its roots. They weren’t exposing their body to foods which would reveal the true nature of their disease.

@alisonlutton9378 Год назад

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.

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.

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.

@@brookebullard Where in Laurie's comment did she judge her own sister? What makes you think she doesn't love her sister? If anything, she's expressing her empathy. I have similar conversations with family members who also don't take care of their health and it's very frustrating when they respond like Laurie's sister. It's called being concerned, not judgemental.

@carstenaltena Год назад

To Laurie, I can relate as you can read in above comment. I mostly stopped the conversations with my family, in the end it's their life, they have to be the ones to change it. I still love them of course, but accepted the fact that they will probably have less quality of life in the long run. Make the best of the time together with them and be a good example.

@@61CatLady14 Not everyone is affected by information especially if it's controversial. Antonin Scalia was a highly respected member of the US Supreme court. He was also both a smoker and overweight. He obviously had the ability to understand the situation but chose to live how he wanted to live even if it would reduce his time here on planet earth. There's a book in the library about the best diet to prevent dementia. I googled the author just to learn that she died relatively young from cancer. Obviously none of us knows what the future holds for us health wise. Had she known she was going to die young from cancer maybe instead of spending so much time reading studies and writing she would have spent more time socializing and enjoying some alcohol and sugar etc.

That’s not very fair on Vegans, cos you didn’t say anything about the other diets that are worse when eating ‘’Junk products’’. For example the animal based diets you didn’t say they got worse when processed meat etc was eaten. Also precludes the benefits of Wholefood Plant Based/Vegan suitable diets, which as you know is supremely healthy 🌻✊🏽🌎

Im a breast cancer patient and was on a strict WFPB diet for several months now since i was diagnosed. But it lead me to anemia and my rbc, hemoglobin and hemotocrit keeps going down.

@g.e.boroush5176 9 месяцев назад

I'm a b-cancer patient as well. On wfpb diet as well. 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.

From the 2015 BMC study, "Oxalate induces breast cancer." Not risk, or maybe, or might or it could, "but all." "We measured oxalate concentration in both human breast tumor tissues and adjoining non-pathological breast tissues. We found that all tested breast tumor tissues contain a higher concentration of oxalates than their counterpart non-pathological breast tissue." What foods are highest in oxalates?

Hi Dr. Greger! I like your cancer dietary recommendations, but cancer can be more complicated than this if cancer cachexia is involved- as it often is. We need more Plant based oncology dietitians familiar with cancer cachexia which can kill approximately 30% of cancer patients.

Almost died from what? What did you eat? That’s a very wide umbrella. “Plant based” could be psychedelic mushrooms, plant opioids, it could be a strict banana peels diet, it could also be a pine needle soup diet. What did you eat and did you use a sublingual b12 supplement containing your daily intake? You could’ve eaten processed plant foods and not even known because you weren’t taught how to identify it.

This is poor advice and potentially harmful for cancer patients. Cancer feeds on blood glucose. Eating more grains will increase availability of blood glucose. A clean ketogenic diet is the best for limiting blood glucose, starving cancer, and reducing cellular inflammation which is the primary trigger for cells to become cancerous...combined with B17 it is a very strong approach to healing cancer.
