How to Starve Cancer: Without Starving Yourself Paperback – September 25, 2018

I cannot say enough good things about this book!!!! Reading this book should be the very first thing you do if you or a loved one receives a cancer diagnosis. Do NOT let the doctors talk you into surgery, chemo or radiotherapy (no matter how they try to scare you into agreeing to it) until you have read this book. Many people panic and think they must begin treatment immediately. Not true. Do yourself a huge favor …. Take a few deep breaths and then read this book. It contains the best and most current info on overcoming cancer -even Stage IV - using off-label drugs, diet, and supplements which, in some cases, complement mostly low-dose chemo. Chemo only kills fast-replicating cancer cells, but not cancer stem cells. That’s where the other complimentary therapies come in. This book will completely change what you’ve been lead to believe about cancer, and give you a real plan (and hope) for a cure.

The author has taken an unusual approach to cancer since the main stream medical approach to dealing with cancer didn't work for her. And it worked! Great to see someone think outside the box to solve major problems, and Jane McLelland has certainly demonstrated a new approach to overcoming cancer. Cancer CAN be overcome with the right approach and every patient and their doctor should pay close attention to Jane's approach.

I enjoyed all the information. As a human there's only so much we can do. I researched and did what I read.

There is some great information and for the most part i can really relate because I've always been very much into nutrition. However, it does get too technical, particularly towards the end. I suggest highlighting key points and going bash to them later.

I wish my sister could have had this book when she was alive. It would have given her a different frame of reference and maybe a different outcome. Reading it made me realize how President Trump expanding the Right To Try Act to include patients and doctors utilizing repurposed, off label drugs as part of a wholistic approach would "give permission" to doctors and patients and expand the tools they could use to defeat cancer. And to also be able to tackle the disease synergistically at any stage. An eye-opening read!

Get this book! Will be your guide. Lots of reach based good info. Second half the best part. It's saving our lives. Last test results came back positive. Have the book in hand all the time. It has to be read multiple times as a reference unless you have a medical background it's a bit overwhelming. But the best book on the subject hands down. A lot of physiological pathways to learn. But very important. This book will give you a fighting chance and hope. Recommending it to everyone.

This book is a must read for anyone battling cancer; in particular for anyone looking for an alternative route beyond the western standard of chemo and radiation. Jane McClelland writes a very detailed but also very readable book for the average non-medical person, explaining the many pathways cancer is prone to take if it runs into a road block such as chemo. Rather than just having a single approach to fighting the disease, she offers a multi-pronged metabolic approach in which one blocks other pathways before the cancer even heads down them explaining that most often, chemo will reach a point at which it will stop working. Hence the need to block other pathways before that happens. As a survivor of stage 4 cervical cancer herself, she has walked the walk and is now educating others on what she researched and learned and what she recommends. in her own words, her process in a nutshell is "starve it, stop it spreading, THEN snuff it out," which she writes in her intro. She offers a ten-step process to accomplishing this which she lays out in the book as well.HIGHLY recommend! Her book also contains many resources including a website rich with information, podcasts, courses, and websites to help you find a doctor in your area that follows her methodologies. Not sure? I'd say get the book and read what she has to say. Might not be for you, but I think it's an incredibly sensible approach that I intent to pursue. I've read a lot of books about cancer treatment; books on what to eat, what supplements to take, etc. I've read more articles than I can count about promising testing and approaches, etc. But this by far offers the most in terms of how I can help myself put forth my best effort toward fighting this disease with *specific* things I can do to help myself. It offers hope as well - and while it is no cure, it helps you make it another day and another and another in the hopes that one has an opportunity to see actual progress and perhaps even success.

I am happy for her story. It’s too difficult for the general public to understand and follow.
