But he knows what is healthy for him and what isn't. His choice.
Yes, I find her book to be very informative and breaks down the science behind why this type of diet/approach can be beneficial to some cancer patients. But honestly, the more research I do, the more I realize cancer-focused nutrition is a fickle thing. People will swear by specific diet protocols. They’ll blog about the 60+ people they know who have gotten great results going vegan, for example. But, 60 people is an infantesimaly small sample to latch on to, considering cancer affects millions each year in the U.S. alone.
I am glad my oncologist ordered a full panel to be done on yesterday’s biopsy sample. I’d like to take that information to a naturopathic or integrative oncologist and help me create a customized plan based on science-based research. Whether it’s a ketogenic, Mediterranean or vegan-based diet....I don’t really care. As long as I can reasonably follow it and there’s evidence that it could help my specific situation, I’m game.
