For people currently struggling with a cancer diagnosis, McLelland has an important message: Never give up. It will teach you everything you need to know about cancer metabolism, no matter what type or stage of cancer you have. Here’s what other people have said about the course: Common in breast, ovarian, endometrial. Other cancers maybe oestrogen positive such as gastric, NSCLC, colon and liver but this is less common and you would need to test to be sureIn the early stages of her research, McLelland first learned that glucose feeds most cancers and that IGF-1 (an insulin-like growth factor hormone found in high levels in dairy and meat) also helped to drive its growth. I didn’t even think I was going to be alive, and I certainly didn’t expect to have a family,” said McLelland. “I have to pinch myself to believe it sometimes.” McLelland discovered that there were numerous drugs on the market designed for other purposes (like heart disease or infections) that could go beyond diet and supplements to effectively cut off cancer’s various fuel lines. These drugs are considered “off-label,” since they were developed for conditions other than cancer. Metabolic pathways are the fuel lines cancer cell uses to grow and spread! Metabolic Pathways (Fuel lines)

Glucose and glutamine are critical nutrients indispensable for cancer cell growth. Li Wang, Jing-jing Li, et al Jane McLelland – How to starve cancer The first big gun was a cardiovascular drug called dipyridamole, which stops protein from getting into the cancer cell, a key factor in starving leukemia, according to McLelland.NOTE: Some of the drugs and supplements in these protocols can interact resulting in serious side effects. They should only be taken under the supervision of your doctor. This book will answer all the burning questions you face when you begin to explore integrative treatments. Which ‘off-label’ drugs and supplements should you take? Should you try the ketogenic diet? Should you fast? Is fat safe? How much and when should you exercise? Jane explains why each patient needs a personalised approach and, importantly, how to work this out. Jane is a long-term survivor of stage IV cancer. She is a former Chartered Physiotherapist who worked in the NHS and in private practice for 12 years. She is an award-winning author of How to Starve Cancer in which she describes her journey through cancer and her battle with infertility. She is best known for her Metro Map, a simple diagram of the complexity of cancer metabolism and for bringing the new approach of ferroptosis to the public. All of these drugs are cheap and off-patent, which is why they have largely been ignored by the pharmaceutical industry, despite research supporting their effectiveness against cancer,” said McLelland. In 2002 she launched a range of toiletries and a uniquely-designed waterproof book under the brand name BATHrobics and the following year she won the coveted UK Gift of the Year Award.

I recognized that Life Extension was ahead of its time. It was providing information that nobody else seemed to be providing, and piecing together research and reporting on it before anybody else did,” said McLelland. “ Life Extension really was instrumental in helping me survive.” Another key, off-label drug McLelland learned about from reading Life Extension was the diabetes drug, metformin. Metformin is critical for starving cancer because it cuts off cancer’s supply to glucose and insulin, and reduces IGF-1.

ABOUT JANE

I do believe we already have every drug and every supplement that we need to beat cancer. The key is getting the right combinations to people at the right time,” said McLelland. “Yes, in certain circumstances there can be too much damage to the body from the cancer itself. But if you can get to people before that, I cannot see why patients can’t be rescued even from advanced malignancies. Stage IV cancer should not be a death sentence, in my view.” I already knew that statins would be potentially useful against cervical cancer. But research had also shown that they caused apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemias. I also had overlooked the fact that NSAIDs could cause cell death (apoptosis),” said McLelland. “What I learned from the Life Extension article was that there was a synergy between the two drugs, making them far more potent when taken together.” Using protocols similar to those used by Jane McLelland, The Care Oncology Clinic (a leading London cancer clinic) is undertaking a study and providing treatments that include off-label drugs.
