The Metabolic Approach to Cancer: Integrating Deep Nutrition, the Ketogenic Diet and Non-Toxic Bio-Individualized Therapies
Product ID: 51636468
The Optimal Terrain Ten Protocol to Reboot Cellular Health Since the beginning of the twentieth century, cancer rates have increased exponentially--now affecting almost 50 percent of the American population. Conventional treatment continues to rely on chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation to attack cancer cells. Yet research has repeatedly shown that 95 percent of cancer cases are directly linked to diet and lifestyle. The Metabolic Approach to Cancer is the book we have been waiting for--it offers an innovative, metabolic-focused nutrition protocol that actually works . Naturopathic, integrative oncologist and cancer survivor Dr. Nasha Winters and nutrition therapist Jess Higgins Kelley have identified the ten key elements of a person's -terrain- (think of it as a topographical map of our body) that are crucial to preventing and managing cancer. Each of the terrain ten elements--including epigenetics, the microbiome, the immune system, toxin exposures, and blood sugar balance--is illuminated as it relates to the cancer process, then given a heavily researched and tested, non-toxic and metabolic, focused nutrition prescription. The metabolic theory of cancer--that cancer is fueled by high carbohydrate diets, not -bad- genetics--was introduced by Nobel Prize-laureate and scientist Otto Warburg in 1931. It has been largely disregarded by conventional oncology ever since. But this theory is resurging as a result of research showing incredible clinical outcomes when cancer cells are deprived of their primary fuel source (glucose). The ketogenic diet--which relies on the body's production of ketones as fuel--is the centerpiece of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer . Further, Winters and Kelley explain how to harness the anticancer potential of phytonutrients abundant in low-glycemic plant and animal foods to address the 10 hallmarks of cancer--an approach Western medicine does with drug based therapies. Their optimized, genetically-tuned diet shuns grains, legumes, sugar, genetically modified foods, pesticides, and synthetic ingredients while emphasizing whole, wild, local, organic, fermented, heirloom, and low-glycemic foods and herbs. Other components of their approach include harm-reductive herbal therapies like mistletoe (considered the original immunotherapy and common in European cancer care centers) and cannabinoids (which shrink tumors and increase quality of life, yet are illegal in more than half of the United States). Through addressing the ten root causes of cancer and approaching the disease from a nutrition-focused standpoint, we can slow cancer's endemic spread and live optimized lives.

Impressed with this book. Authors know their stuff
I don't have cancer but I have another health issue and am planning on attending naturopath school , so I'm always interested in reading more about natural medicine.I've read over a hundred books on health and natural medicine and this one stands out, first of all because it's so comprehensive and well researched. Most natural health books just go into the usual stuff (nutrition, sleep, stress, etc) but after having read tons of them I can see they're mostly carbon copies of one another. This one is incredibly detailed and gave me ideas for improving health naturally that I hadn't come across elsewhere. To give one example, I didn't know that modern clothes may be causing skin cancer because of all the chemicals in them.The only thing that I felt was missing is the idea that different cancers respond to different diets. This is a theory developed by Dr Francis Pottenger and Dr Ernst Gellhorn and further developed in the 1960s by Dr William Kelly and later used by Dr Nicolas Gonzalez, to great effect. Those with soft issue/immune cancers do better on an animal protein heavy diet, which suppresses the immune system. Like autoimmune patients, those cancer patients developed cancer because their immune systems are too active. If you have an immune cancer, you don't want to be revving up your immune system. But those with solid tumours do better on a vegetarian diet with a bit of meat/fish and need to rev up their immune systems. Dr Nicolas Gonzalez had many patients with advanced immune cancers who have lived for many years (often decades) on that diet. I know his system works because I have an autoimmune disease that has dramatically improved on a meat-heavy diet, specifically designed to suppress the immune system.

Outstanding wisdom - a powerful book by two inspirational women.
There are not enough words to convey my gratitude to you both for your powerful book.You have made a significant impact on my journey to fighting the oesophagus cancer I have recently been diagnosed with. I will be eternally grateful for everything I have learnt and I’m now applying from your book. I bought a hard copy, and have also been listening to it whilst out walking and gardening.My recent diagnosis came like a violent earthquake, shaking every core element in my body and soul. After overcoming the shock, I decided to take control of my situation. Ignoring the advice given to me by the medical establishment to eat as much sugar, carbs and ice cream, I went on a journey to find the truth.I have been telling everyone who wants to know about your book. It holds so much wisdom backed with evidence. It’s a powerhouse.I will treasure it, and continue to listen to it - and read it over and over again - and course, continue to keep applying it to my life.Thank you so much.Eternally grateful.

Please read this book
Great book with lots of scientific research backing its arguments. Cancer is the new pandemic and this book demonstrates how we can lower our chances of getting it or how to increase our chances beating it. It’s not suitable for you if you are quite happy with an unhealthy lifestyle.

Sehr interessant
Das ist ein sehr interessantes Buch, welches eine ganzheitliche Sicht auf die Behandlung von Krebs beschreibt. Sehr gut zu verstehen und es sollte jeder lesen, der sich mit dieser schrecklichen Erkankungen (der Mitochondrien) auseinandersetzen muss. Tipp: Dazu auch das Buch von V. Longo unbedingt lesen.

A gold mine of nutritional information
Very well written and explained, this is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what effect food has on the body and how you can really look after yourself, especially if you are fighting a serious illness and dealing with well-intended medical specialists who haven’t had much training in nutrition.

Very well written, a must have and read book
This book is very well organized and written. About the different angles of how to fight cancer, how cancer grow, spread etc. Analyzing which food to eat, why. A must have and read book. I went through most of the book, took notes while reading, making my own short form guide, since information is spread across many pages, and need to be extracted.
