How to Starve Cancer

80% is story telling.

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

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 without complications/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 NO favours 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 narrative If 'Fortune favours the brave' , it unequivocably DID with THIS author !!!!

As many people have said in other words, this book is a real treasure for those wanting to take the big step of supplementing their medical treatment with a metabolic protocol that gets to the root of starving cancer cells. Truth be told, this is not a very well written book. As a natural therapist who is familiar with medical language and with a wife who is dealing with cancer I have to say this is not an easy book to read and understand. There are bits of critical information on various substances scattered throughout the book in an unconnected way which makes it a rather disjointed read. It is also often difficult to understand some of the things Jane is getting at. Nevertheless, for anyone seriously wanting to take a large portion of their cancer journey into their own hands this is one of the most useful books you will find. Just persevere with it and you will see the results.

Good informatiion

I have just seen the 1-star review about how this book is discouraging and insensitive and I am not surprised. It is truly discouraging to have Triple Negative Breast Cancer. I have it too, but this book lays out Jane’s up-close-and-personal history with cancer, so I doubt she wanted to use the book to discourage anyone, or to be insensitive. I hate to presume, but maybe this reviewer means that the truth is discouraging? Jane’s book is entirely truthful, she tells of an awful experience with an awful disease. She speaks of her darkest moments and her push to realise what her instincts were telling her to do, i.e. to survive! Blimey, I have a nursing background and I am reeling at the complexity of the information she offers. However, this is exactly what medicine and molecular biology entail – complexity. I challenge anyone to read this book without making notes. If you buy this book and read it, you will be educated and empowered, if you so choose, to take control of your future, no matter what your diagnosis. It may or may not work out for you (or me) but at least you can have a try. The reality is as described by Jane, cancer can make you terminally ill, and that is a big deal. Cancer statistics are truly scary! I can testify that chemo is seriously toxic and that metastatic TNBC does not have a good prognosis, not that I have it, I just don’t want it. From what I have read, clinical trials boast of extending disease-free progression of metastatic TNBC by 10 months. Just look what Jane did using her own ‘non-clinical’ trial 12 weeks to 20 years. I know that alternative treatments are often side-lined and dismissed. However, I for one am going to put as much effort into creating my “Spot-of-Bother” chart as Jane did and hopefully get another ten years. That’ll do, I’m seventy now and living with my mum aged 95 who is still kicking ass! Jane, you are a Godsend. Thank you for your colossal effort in writing this book and giving us hope. BUY IT, EVERYONE, READ IT!
