The Metabolic Approach to Cancer

"Read this important book to learn how cancer is an environmental, metabolic disease with many small causes that stack up--and what you can do to prevent or even reverse it."―Dave Asprey, An innovative, metabolic-focused nutrition protocol that identifies 10 key hallmarks crucial to preventing and managing cancer. The ketogenic diet, which relies on the body’s production of ketones as fuel, is the centerpiece of this innovative approach created by naturopathic, integrative oncologist and cancer survivor Dr. Nasha Winters and nutrition therapist Jess Higgins Kelley. They show readers how to harness the anticancer potential of phytonutrients abundant in low-glycemic plant and animal foods to address the 10 hallmarks of cancer. This optimized, genetically tuned diet shuns: • Grains, legumes, and sugar • Genetically modified foods • Pesticides and synthetic ingredients In favor of: • Whole, wild foods • Local and organic foods • Fermented and heirloom foods • Low-glycemic foods Winters and Kelley illuminate each of the Optimal Terrain Ten Protocol elements―including epigenetics, the microbiome, the immune system, toxin exposures, and blood sugar balance―to show how each relates to the cancer process. They then arm readers with a heavily researched and tested, non-toxic and metabolic, focused nutrition prescription to follow. Through addressing the 10 root causes of cancer and approaching the disease from a nutrition-focused standpoint, we can slow cancer’s endemic spread and live optimized lives. “A powerhouse of detailed information on how to prevent, manage, and treat cancer."―Travis Christofferson, author of

Klappentext

"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 balanceis 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"--
