The Metabolic Approach to Cancer

I don't have cancer but I have another health issue and am planning on attending naturopath school , so I'm always interested in reading more about natural medicine. I've read over a hundred books on health and natural medicine and this one stands out, first of all because it's so comprehensive and well researched. Most natural health books just go into the usual stuff (nutrition, sleep, stress, etc) but after having read tons of them I can see they're mostly carbon copies of one another. This one is incredibly detailed and gave me ideas for improving health naturally that I hadn't come across elsewhere. To give one example, I didn't know that modern clothes may be causing skin cancer because of all the chemicals in them. The only thing that I felt was missing is the idea that different cancers respond to different diets. This is a theory developed by Dr Francis Pottenger and Dr Ernst Gellhorn and further developed in the 1960s by Dr William Kelly and later used by Dr Nicolas Gonzalez, to great effect. Those with soft issue/immune cancers do better on an animal protein heavy diet, which suppresses the immune system. Like autoimmune patients, those cancer patients developed cancer because their immune systems are too active. If you have an immune cancer, you don't want to be revving up your immune system. But those with solid tumours do better on a vegetarian diet with a bit of meat/fish and need to rev up their immune systems. Dr Nicolas Gonzalez had many patients with advanced immune cancers who have lived for many years (often decades) on that diet. I know his system works because I have an autoimmune disease that has dramatically improved on a meat-heavy diet, specifically designed to suppress the immune system.

There are not enough words to convey my gratitude to you both for your powerful book. You have made a significant impact on my journey to fighting the oesophagus cancer I have recently been diagnosed with. I will be eternally grateful for everything I have learnt and I’m now applying from your book. I bought a hard copy, and have also been listening to it whilst out walking and gardening. My recent diagnosis came like a violent earthquake, shaking every core element in my body and soul. After overcoming the shock, I decided to take control of my situation. Ignoring the advice given to me by the medical establishment to eat as much sugar, carbs and ice cream, I went on a journey to find the truth. I have been telling everyone who wants to know about your book. It holds so much wisdom backed with evidence. It’s a powerhouse. I will treasure it, and continue to listen to it - and read it over and over again - and course, continue to keep applying it to my life. Thank you so much. Eternally grateful.

Good book

I bought this to help out my husband who had cancer. Good contents but is there a true cure?

I believe the information in this book is priceless when it comes to preventing cancer and treating cancer. Its easy to read and understand with a wealth of knowledge. Its one of those books that i will read over and over again.

Most complete book on this subject. Easy to read and learn about this world. So grateful I found this book. Can’t recommend it more to anyone healing from cancer, concerned about getting, or not even in cancer world. In todays world with so much in our diets, environments, etc. this is the book.

Great book with lots of scientific research backing its arguments. Cancer is the new pandemic and this book demonstrates how we can lower our chances of getting it or how to increase our chances beating it. It’s not suitable for you if you are quite happy with an unhealthy lifestyle.

This is a comprehensive and self-contained book. It explains all causes of cancers and available therapies both in orthodox and alternative medicines. Buy and read it over and over again.

I've been on a healing journey with breast cancer for awhile now. I am one of many YOUNG women in a trend of cancer. I have assembled my team using an integrative approach and tools from both conventional and alternative therapies. I have found the most hope, support and LIFE, within my naturopathic, functional and integrative doctor offices - which has made all the difference. Our bodies are ONE being - they are not compartmentalized. Cancer is a process and apart of a larger terrain. Cancer didn't just happen and it isn't going to heal fully without looking at the whole terrain that created the process that allowed it to grow in the first place. I found this book and Dr Winters and Jessica's work a year and half into my journey. I have searched wildly for a root cause for my body's terrain issues because I knew I had to heal the root and reverse the cancering process to remain well. This book and this work have been pivotal in my healing journey. It has changed the trajectory and completely solidified the intuitive knowing that I have always had - that the body has to heal as a whole. I knew I needed to do more than just kill cancer. If cancer is a "process" - then we have some power in that space to reverse the "process". In that one statement - rests a mountain of hope and possibilities. I completed the terrain 10 questions and identified my weaknesses and started the process. I overhauled some thinking in regard to the ketogenic diet. The way keto is used therapeutically with this approach is SO VERY different from the mainstream keto diets. This is important to understand. The way food and diet is approached in this book - is clean, nutrient dense, and therapeutic. So put down your preconceived notions about what you "thought" you knew and read on and learn. If you or someone has cancer - please read this book. If you are a human breathing - please read this book. We could turn the tsunami of the cancer trends around if people would look at their terrain BEFORE their body is in the full cancering process. We all have cancer in our bodies - but what we do and how we live will influence if we are cancering or NOT cancering within our terrain. Let that sink in a bit. This book is easy to read and implement. It is not just well researched, but LIVED by Dr Winters who has been in the healing trenches herself for over 25 years after receiving a stage 4 diagnoses at 19. She hasn't just been a clinician, she has been walking her own healing and stopping her own cancering process. There is such power and hope there. Both authors bring a wealth of rich knowledge from clinical application and real life experience. This book is a game changer. A HEALING PATH changer. It puts pieces together so you can address the underlying terrain and begin repairing what needs to be repaired. It opens up a dialogue between you and your body and allows you to advocate for yourself on one of the hardest journeys many of us will walk. The book is dripping with hope and that - in and of itself - is a vital therapy! This approach has shifted my healing approach and strategy and given me tools that had been missing. On every healing journey there are defining moments - the kind that draw a line in the sand and change everything into a "before and after". This book and this work and approach - has been one of those moments for me. Buy several copies and read and implement for yourself and family first. Then pass them out to anyone you care about. And to those in the healing trenches with cancer. We have to shift the cancer tends! And it starts with taking care of our terrain!! Cancer doesn't just happen, it's a process and we CAN intervene in the process! I am living proof of that! Fingers crossed this will come out in a audible version soon :-)

Très agréable à lire avec beaucoup de conseils pratiques autant que de références scientifiques puissantes. À quand une version en français !

Das ist ein sehr interessantes Buch, welches eine ganzheitliche Sicht auf die Behandlung von Krebs beschreibt. Sehr gut zu verstehen und es sollte jeder lesen, der sich mit dieser schrecklichen Erkankungen (der Mitochondrien) auseinandersetzen muss. Tipp: Dazu auch das Buch von V. Longo unbedingt lesen.

Gives you all the tools you need in a clear understandable methodical way. Best book, among the many I've read.

Very well written and explained, this is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what effect food has on the body and how you can really look after yourself, especially if you are fighting a serious illness and dealing with well-intended medical specialists who haven’t had much training in nutrition.
