Cannabis, Nutrition, and Research are Critical to Curing Cancer!!
This is some valuable advice from Jack Kungel who has beaten cancer 🙂
The Science of Marijuana:

AN ALTERNATIVE WAY …
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When the doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect cancer cells. Because they have not reached the detectable size.
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person’s lifetime.
3. When the person’s immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to STARVE the cancer cells by not feeding it with foods it needs to multiple.
What cancer cells feed on:
a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Note: Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute… would be Stevia Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. A Better alternative is Pink Himalayan sea salt.
b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells will starved.
c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat can also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes t o nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells.
To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water–best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines will become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body’s killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body’s own killer cells to that can destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body’s normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor.
Anger, unforgiving and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

Starving Cancer Cells
Kill Cancer By Restricting Methionine-Rich Foods
Jul 9, 2014 Brian D. Lawenda, M.D.
Although I’m hardly surprised, it is a tragedy that that there has yet to be a single, high-quality clinical (human) trial conducted to investigate a very promising anti- cancer phenomenon that researchers have known about since 1959.
It was discovered that if you try to grow cancer cells in a medium with little-to-no methionine (an essential amino acid), often the cells would stop growing, dividing and they would undergo apoptosis (“cell suicide”.) Similar findings were subsequently reported in many studies using animals implanted with tumors. When fed a methionine-restricted diet their tumors grew more slowly, spread less often and also the animals survived longer then those fed a regular diet. Importantly, harmful effects due to short-term methionine restriction were rarely seen in the animals or normal cells studied.
These studies discovered that a wide-range of cancer types require methionine to grow and divide (this is called “methionine-dependent”), such as:
- breast cancer
- bladder cancer
- pancreatic cancer
- lung cancer
- brain tumors
- stomach cancer
- leukemia
- lymphoma
- head and neck cancer
- melanoma
- sarcomas
- etc…
Methionine restriction has been shown to be safe in at least one study with cancer patients who were placed on a low-methionine diet for 17-18 weeks. The patients lost on average 0.5 kg per week while on the study. But it is not known whether this weight loss was due to the diet (0.6-0.8 g of protein, 25-35 kcal, and 2 mg of methionine per kilogram per day) or cancer progression since all the patients had advanced disease (metastatic cancer.)
How Does Methionine Restriction Cause Anticancer Effects?
Methionine is an important amino acid that is used as a building block for proteins that are essential for cell development and growth. This is particularly important for cancer cells that are rapidly dividing (whereas normal cells tend to grow more slowly and require less methionine.) This amino acid is so critical that there is even a complex biochemical process that is named after it called, the Methionine (or Yang) Cycle.
Additionally, it is now believed that methionine-dependent cancers have mutations in important tumor growth suppressor genes (genes responsible for stopping cancer cell growth.) If these genes are mutated the cancer cells grow without inhibition. That’s not a good thing.
How Do You Restrict Methionine In your Diet?
If you are willing to switch to a vegan diet you will dramatically reduce your consumption of methionine-rich foods. Meat, fish, poultry, eggs, cheeses, soybeans, sesame seeds and brazil nuts are high in methionine (see table), whereas most vegetables and fruit are low in methionine.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Will this diet help improve my cancer outcomes?
- We don’t have human studies to guide us on this.
- Not all cancers are methionine-dependent and unfortunately we don’t have a simple test to determine if your cancer is susceptible to this diet.
Is it safe for me to follow this diet?
You need to ask your treating oncology team “if ” they think it is safe for you based on your specific circumstances. If you are actively losing weight it is not advisable to start a diet which could accelerate additional weight loss. Reassuringly, although methionine is an essential amino acid (meaning your body requires it), it’s very uncommon for someone following a vegan diet to develop problems due to a methionine deficiency. Just make sure you are consuming adequate calories and a wide variety of plant foods. So that you can better ensure you are receiving the full range of nutrients your body requires (vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins and carbohydrates.)
What foods can I eat that are both low in methionine but high in protein?
Since many protein-rich foods like meat, poultry, fish, and certain beans that are high in methionine you may be wondering what foods you can eat that will allow you to consume enough protein to meet your daily allowance are also low in methionine. The best website I have found to help me answer questions like this is SelfNutritionData.org (see this link for a list of foods that are high in protein and low in methionine.)
The Bottom Line:
If your cancer is methionine-dependent, it is possible that by switching to a vegan diet (inherently low in methionine) or a diet that is predominantly plant-based with limited amounts of meat, fish, eggs and poultry (i.e. Mediterranean diet), you might be able to take advantage of this promising anticancer effect.
Since there are no simple tests that you can easily order from most labs to tell you whether your cancer is methionine-dependent you may not get any anticancer benefits from methionine-restriction. That said, switching to a plant based (or predominant) diet will still provide you with many other anticancer properties regardless of the cancer’s dependency on methionine:
- Whole plant foods are full of cancer-fighting phytonutrients, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, and
- Whole plant foods generally have a lower glycemic load (meaning they don’t cause a large and rapid rise in blood sugar and insulin levels after consuming them…read Sugar and Carbohydrates 101 to learn more.)
Before you start any dietary changes discuss it with you oncology care team.
