Actually the concept behind diet against cancer is avoid - carbohydrates, sugars (glucose, sucrose, fructose, lactose, etc.,), glutamine (protines), toxins and bad oils/refined oils.
I'm from Saigon, Vietnam. My mum was diagnosed with Stage IIA breast cancer two months ago, and it's a Triple-Negative case. Ive been following Dr. Greger for a few years since my dad got type II diabetes. I bought his book "How not to Die" as well. What is written in the book saves my dad's life. Im now doing to the best of my ability to help my mum fight her cancer. And yet again, Ive opened the book and looked for the remedy. Before knowing the book, our family's diet had not been that healthy. I do believe that the breast tumor has been there already. And I do believe that the plant-based diet has helped suppressed the tumor to the point it hasn't spread any further to the lymph nodes. It's regional. At the moment, She's now on a very strict plant-based diet with whole fruits, lots of greens and extreme low carbs. I do believe we can beat the disease.
Good Whole Foods is the key. O sugar, no seed oils no wheat corn or soy. I love avocados and blueberries (all berries really) but I am meat based. I try to stick with grass fed/finished beef happy pastured eggs sardines and wild caught Alaskan Salmon walnuts broccoli cauliflower romaine lettuce based salads with extra virgin olive oil and organic apple cider vinegar. Stuff like that. I may start trying to cycle in some beans or legumes occasionally. But I’ll make sure I soak them at least 24 hours and change the water and cook them thoroughly. To be rid of lectins and phylates

I had a friend many years ago who had leukaemia. This was in the early 1960s so there was no treatment available. She met a naturopath in the hospital who offered to treat my friend. It started with a water fast for a period of time,(I think it was 3 weeks)and watermelon fast . Her leukaemia cleared up and she fasted periodically the details of which I have forgotten, but she lived into her early 80s and died from dementia. My friend became a vegetarian and also studied natuopathic medicine.
in my country (Romania, Europe) we're all, young and old, encouraged by the orthodox church to fast for 40 days before Easter. I have yet to see anyone getting worse by fasting that much time! the only problems i have read about were people stuffing themselves at Easter after fasting. 1500 years-long "country report" right here. Multiply by several millions of christian orthodox - pretty convincing, right?
I had Muslim friends who fasted and got cancer, on of my friends died from head cancer, one from kidney cancer, and a girl is fighting breast cancer, all of them living in Europe and fasting as Muslims. food during fasting has a lot of influence, some Muslims sleep during the day, and at night they eat meat, potatoes, rice, pizza, sweet drinks, etc. this is not a cleansing fast
At the very least you'll get cancer at a much later time and in a less wide spread manner. Though you'll never know if you dodged a bullet by going plant based 🤷 Would be cool if you one day could find out what would have happened if you ate differently
My sister right now is struggling with intestine adenocarcinoma stage 3 the doctors in my main hospital said there is nothing they can do to save her life i have put her on prolonged fasting and keto however she has developed ASCITES swollen stomach which makes issues worse for her but I'm a believer in God's miracles soon i shall come here to narrate her survival story.
When meat eaters and vegan doctors agree on something you should listen...3° day on water fasting and gonna go as much as i can, luckly ( or not) im about 40 pounds overweight so it is easy so far
Yes Fasting is Powerful! The most healing thing you can do. It’s free Stem cell surgery and the best form of it when rich people pay tens of thousands for it and don’t get the best treatment always. Fasting works
Yes, that's the question I have although Dean Ornish MD did some stop and reverse of prostate cancer is those whose cancer was in a "watch and wait" level. Interestingly, those who did the diet and lifestyle change (i.e. WFPB) either stopped progression or reversed psa levels. Those who continued with their SAD diet progressed and needed treatment - all of them. So that's fairly convincing.
Case studies or empirical evidence... the only way I managed to understand that plant based really is the best way to go. Just reading the theory-based papers had me all sorts of confused about what to eat for health.
Fasting is a lifestyle practice with me since I was 19 till now at 68, especially when I'm ill, it got me through Covid, very painful kidney infections, gall stones are desolved, strep throat healed so much faster, all these without antibiotics bladder infection's healed most often within 3 day's of water fasting only, the Covid took 7 days water only fasting and that was my only treatment, after oral surgery no antibiotics my gums heal completely and hold tight to my teeth thee day's fasted after cleaning...When you eat it's vary labor intensive to digest food but your body has little else to do but heal when fasting...when I eat since I'm prone to having type 2 diabetes but I'm keeping my glucose in a normal range by eating meat, fish, dairy, eggs, cooked or raw veggies, it's Keto so high protein/ vegetable diet, but I fast so often the protein doesn't build up in my system and I'm continually cleansing toxins out, I just can't have carbs or any sugar at all...I believe different diets are beneficial for different people and for different reasons, take the time to figure out what works for you.
I question how fasting is beneficial when being attacked by an external entity such as a bacteria or Virus. However it makes sense when it’s your own body attacking itselfz
@@conradmbugua9098 I was speaking of Cancer being your body attacking itself. The Cancer is technically your own body and the nutrients and energy you consume would help support the Cancer grow. So if you fast then the cancer can’t get the energy it needs to grow.
I could do 18 hours of fasting but not 18 days! But if I had to, to get rid of cancer, I would. I'm a man so I'm worried about prostate cancer that my dad had. I still do eat fish and dairy and eggs, but eat a lot of plant based foods and about 3 days a week with none of these. I feel good with just 18 hours of fasting. Wierd fact: I feel depressed after I eat chicken. Poor chicken.
It is not as hard as you think. But it is easier if you live alone and there is no one else in the household eat and/or bugging you. Not to mention, fasting once BEFORE you have cancer will erase early cancers you don't even know about yet, which is the best thing of all.
Even if you're not 100% plant based that shift you did will keep you thriving for more decades to come. Unless you are one of us who were sickly as a child - it doesn't take much to keep prostate cancer away. Eat some mung beans or lentils - those don't cause farts like the navy beans... I rarely eat navy beans myself and beans are most of my calories...
Let me suggest you read The China Study by T. Colin Campbell, PhD. Also, Dean Ornish, MD stopped and reversed early stage prostate cancer in his study. Those who adopted WFPB diet stopped/reversed their cancer and those who continued to consume animal products ALL went on to be treated for advancing cancer. Ornish published his findings and it can be found on the internet.
Fred everard and al danenberg both reversed their late stage cancers with carnivore diets and fasting. Plant based has helped some and so has keto and carnivore. Fred had stage 3b colon cancer and reversed it in 6 months and he ate predominantly rib eye steaks if red meat and animal fats cause cancer, how do you explain that. Al danenberg reversed his stage 4 multiple myeloma with the carnivore diet how does one explain that away.
Fred was actually rotating between a keto diet and a carbivore diet, both of which exclude carbohydrates, which cancer cells need to survive. Danenberg succumbed to his cancer recently, he didn't reverse it.

I just came from Thomas Seyfried’s interview which recommends low carb ketogenic diet to ‘starve’ cancer cells of glucose. So confusing. Should we take grains or not during cancer treatment?
I'm with the Prof on that one. It makes logical sense, cancer cells need glucose to survive so let's not give it to them or at least give them very, very little of it. His work is amazing!
You cannot starve the cancer from cutting of Glucose as your body has a built in mechanism to keep glucose levels at or above a baseline. The best you can do is minimize chronic inflammation so cells don’t get damages. Remember vegetables have carbs as well. Eat healthy, fast every now and then for autophogy and you have a better chance against developing cancers.
@@colinb8332by not eating carbs, you limit the amount of glucose in the blood putting cancer cells in competition with the brain that suck up most of available glucose. So any little amount of glucose made by the body will primarily be used by the brain, hence starving cancer cells.
Yes it is true. The medical industry won’t tell you this. They make billions of dollars off of chemotherapy and cancer care. If they told everyone this, cancer would go down and they would be losing money.
I believe that these diseases are stemming from the foods we eat, red meat,meats in its entirety, sugars,fried foods,food that are grown with pesticides ,the animals are giving steroids ,all these sorts of foods are killing people on a daily basis. Im really considering going plant base so I can live and not die in pain but the problem is the addiction to the bad foods and reprogramming my mind to not want the bad stuff that I been intaking for 40+ years is so hard to do

@@kindcounselor Where I live, oats is expensive compared to rice but I can manage to buy it since I don't consume that much oats, around 30~50g / day only.
@@samiryan214 buckwheat is cheap in some places. Quinoa works too but I think it's expensive everywhere. add mung beans and chickpeas (especially the brown small chickpea variety)
Whole red wheat berries, wild rice, whole hulled barley, whole rye berries, teff, farro, millet, red rice, brown rice, jasmine rice. All for around $2/lb dry. When you cook it, it triples in size. Very cost efficient. Simply buy the organic choice which might be $3-4/lb. Still cheaper than any animal product.
I think that comparing vegetarians to non-vegetarians I wouldn’t be a great way to find if it’s a low carb vegetarian diet or just low carb is helping to fight cancer. Metabolic theory of any cancer origins proposed and now proven by Dr. Thomas Seyfried would explain why extremely low carb vegetarian diet would affect the cancer… So, it’s now the meat causing and feeding the cancer. People that do Keto or even Carnivore (I believe that last one is even more effective) do report huge improvements.
If Grieger really believes fasting has cancer curative effect, then he should get hundreds to reject cancer therapy and instead, choose fasting+plant based and prove his claim. I don't think he has the courage of his claims.
@@steviewanderer Don't be an apologist for a zealot touting a single case where he can't demonstrate if the fasting had any effect. It's dangerous advice that could lead to death. Greger has a history of overhyping and exaggerating.
It's easy to criticize. Try some critical thinking or eat a WFPB diet for a few weeks and see what happens. Who knows....you may start seeing some benefits.
Nonesence. Plenty of people eating keto type diets have also managed their cancer similarly. All cancers independent of mutations require 2 primary fuels, glucose and Glutamine. Any diet and of course extended water fasts will drastically reduce both fuels, which cancers absolutely need to live and grow and divide. Vegan diet that is based on raw and very little sugar and is also low on protein will be sufficient to keep those fuels and the building blocks for growth and division to a minimum. Hence the anti cancer effect. Vegan diets provide nothing special in this area. Sorry
I mean, the studies say otherwise. And you're generalizing cancer. Every cancer is different. Also, raw veganism is never the way to go. Cook food for increased bioavailability and nutrition.
@Speed Gaming News is complete BS that every cancer is different. All cancers share the same phenotype. The degree of dependency on sugar and Glutamine across all cancers is the same. The genetics of a tumor is diverse and heterogenous. The mutational patterns are different between tumors in the same person, different between people with exact same cancer and yet the one constant across all cancer types is their absolute requirement for glucose and Glutamine. Both fermentable fuels provide ample energy and bio synthetics for growth and division. What is the gold standard for finding cancer the PET scan. What does the pet scan screen for? Glucose uptake in metabolically active tissue.....CANCER WHY do cancer cells drastically unregulate insulin receptors? To siphon out glucose to out compete their competition, normal cells. Insulin is both a nutrient sensor and growth factor. Any diet that removes or drastically reduces glucose and calories to a lesser degree will put ample stress on cancer cells. You are taking their main fuel and source of building blocks from them. Many case reports have shown tumor perversion slows, and in some cases the tumor recedes. You can not target gene mutations because they are diverse, and there is no set pattern of defective genes of which to glean a pattern from. There is no discernable patterns, and the genes are associated with metabolic peocess. Fasting works, vegan diets work if you keep net carbs very low. Properly formulated Vegan diets not based on junk food tend be low carb and lower calories. Raw veggies for example are high in Fibre, low in sugar and low in calories. It's also low in protein. Don't conflate

@@NutritionFactsOrgThere are studies on fasting and cancer though. Professor Seyfried for one, has published some.
How do those who speak Spanish and other languages access this information?
Learning English as a second language was the best thing i ever done...ive watched podcasts with many people from all different places and the language is allways the same... I have a hard time sending this to family that can't speak English...but all my friends are able to understand and im from a 3° w country
Dr. Greger, how about some full disclosure? In addition to all of the great health advice you convey, how about telling your viewers where your funding comes from? I'm not talking about the trickle of donations you may get from your audience; I'm more interested in where the bulk of the capital that keeps you employed originates. Please feel free to share, as curious minds would like to know.
More important then diet is the mental healthy (stress, emotions)
Disagree. Poor diet can directly cause poor mental health. This is evident in the literature. Diet is the king. Mental health is the Prince.
@@the_ravens_roomsome case terminal cancer patient cure with watching funny video every days. food is 2nd. some terminal cancer even cure with chemoterpy and free cancer after 20years. mental and stress play very strong reason. brain so powerful to heal, never give up
Idk if I hate or love the way you talk. 😅
Greger AND Goldhammer is like Data + Spock, Chris Rock + Eddie Murphy, or Randy Savage + Ultimate Warrior.
Dr. Greger, I couldn’t find the next video to this in your website. The url isn’t working for me. Thank you.
I assume next means tomorrow.
Thank you 💜
That cliff hanger was so cruel. Shame on you.
Loved the edit, hardly noticeable ;)
I dare you to go a podcast with Doctor Ken Berry!
No way I’m doing carnivore after getting a cancer diagnosis. He can eat his McDonald’s and love it too
@@douglaslegvold9215 meat has been proven to contribute to cancer. Fruits and vegetables have been proven to fight it.
I just came from Thomas Seyfried’s interview which recommends low carb ketogenic diet to ‘starve’ cancer cells of glucose. So confusing. Should we take grains or not during cancer treatment?
I'm with the Prof on that one. It makes logical sense, cancer cells need glucose to survive so let's not give it to them or at least give them very, very little of it. His work is amazing!
You cannot starve the cancer from cutting of Glucose as your body has a built in mechanism to keep glucose levels at or above a baseline. The best you can do is minimize chronic inflammation so cells don’t get damages. Remember vegetables have carbs as well.
Eat healthy, fast every now and then for autophogy and you have a better chance against developing cancers.
@@colinb8332by not eating carbs, you limit the amount of glucose in the blood putting cancer cells in competition with the brain that suck up most of available glucose. So any little amount of glucose made by the body will primarily be used by the brain, hence starving cancer cells.
Pls tell me this is true and give me hope to help us do it my husband is in pet ce right now now
Yes it is true. The medical industry won’t tell you this. They make billions of dollars off of chemotherapy and cancer care.
If they told everyone this, cancer would go down and they would be losing money.
I believe that these diseases are stemming from the foods we eat, red meat,meats in its entirety, sugars,fried foods,food that are grown with pesticides ,the animals are giving steroids ,all these sorts of foods are killing people on a daily basis.
Im really considering going plant base so I can live and not die in pain but the problem is the addiction to the bad foods and reprogramming my mind to not want the bad stuff that I been intaking for 40+ years is so hard to do
Red meats are not the problem. They were the scapegoat, along with butter, that was thrown out by the processed food, sugar and flour industries.
@@markroeder2491 Past research has tied red meat to increased risks of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain cancers.Mar 26, 2012

guys Anyone tried fasting and diet and treated for cancer??
please tell me ur experiences on comments
Just started fasting prior to my cancer diagnosis and my arthritic pain has gone from a 6-7 down to a 1-2 after only two weeks of intermittent fasted and going 100% plant based and now started SOS
Please explain whether anyone here has ever recovered from cervical cancer using the fasting method I've been trying fasting for 5 days and the bleeding has reduced
My body also feels better,
but have I taken the right decision?
@@ricvanwinkle1665 how are you now sir?
Hey doc? What did you originally say at 5:53?
Check out Fred Everard he reversed his stage 3b colon cancer in 6 months with fasting, carnivore diet and other wellness practices.
💕
Is this about fasting or about attacking the carnivore diet and promoting veganism?
Please be giving the year of publication of your quoted researches and also what publications exist that debunk those other publications...confirmation bias is never a good thing in science
Industry bias, has thwarted science anyway. You can’t take it too seriously, it’s only part of a solution, never the whole.
Give me some example of cheap non-gmo whole grains.
Oatmeal. Oat groats. And grains are very inexpensive anyway. Dr. Greger does not currently recommend rice because of arsenic content though.
@@kindcounselor Where I live, oats is expensive compared to rice but I can manage to buy it since I don't consume that much oats, around 30~50g / day only.
@@samiryan214 buckwheat is cheap in some places. Quinoa works too but I think it's expensive everywhere.
add mung beans and chickpeas (especially the brown small chickpea variety)
Whole red wheat berries, wild rice, whole hulled barley, whole rye berries, teff, farro, millet, red rice, brown rice, jasmine rice. All for around $2/lb dry. When you cook it, it triples in size. Very cost efficient. Simply buy the organic choice which might be $3-4/lb. Still cheaper than any animal product.
Prefer legumes and leafy greens to grains as grains (rice, wheat, etc.) are rich in sugar which cancer thrives on.
I think that comparing vegetarians to non-vegetarians I wouldn’t be a great way to find if it’s a low carb vegetarian diet or just low carb is helping to fight cancer. Metabolic theory of any cancer origins proposed and now proven by Dr. Thomas Seyfried would explain why extremely low carb vegetarian diet would affect the cancer… So, it’s now the meat causing and feeding the cancer. People that do Keto or even Carnivore (I believe that last one is even more effective) do report huge improvements.
We are collectively poisening our food with pesticides, chemicals etc.
Yeah the food we evolved on and have been consuming for over 2 millions years are now the WORST. Jesus we are fucked
Woo woo!
If Grieger really believes fasting has cancer curative effect, then he should get hundreds to reject cancer therapy and instead, choose fasting+plant based and prove his claim. I don't think he has the courage of his claims.
Don't shoot the messenger ... Dr. Greger is presenting the results of a case study, not dishing out medical advice.
@@steviewanderer Don't be an apologist for a zealot touting a single case where he can't demonstrate if the fasting had any effect. It's dangerous advice that could lead to death. Greger has a history of overhyping and exaggerating.
@@XX-qi5eu no one's apologising. Find a better hobby, wanker.
Dr. Greger is a reporter of scientific information. He does not conduct the research.
It's easy to criticize. Try some critical thinking or eat a WFPB diet for a few weeks and see what happens. Who knows....you may start seeing some benefits.
Okay I love the material and statistics he is providing us,very informative. But please stop talking like this. I don't like it.
Nonesence. Plenty of people eating keto type diets have also managed their cancer similarly. All cancers independent of mutations require 2 primary fuels, glucose and Glutamine. Any diet and of course extended water fasts will drastically reduce both fuels, which cancers absolutely need to live and grow and divide.
Vegan diet that is based on raw and very little sugar and is also low on protein will be sufficient to keep those fuels and the building blocks for growth and division to a minimum. Hence the anti cancer effect.
Vegan diets provide nothing special in this area. Sorry
I mean, the studies say otherwise. And you're generalizing cancer. Every cancer is different. Also, raw veganism is never the way to go. Cook food for increased bioavailability and nutrition.
Keto shyte kids again.
@Speed Gaming News is complete BS that every cancer is different. All cancers share the same phenotype. The degree of dependency on sugar and Glutamine across all cancers is the same. The genetics of a tumor is diverse and heterogenous. The mutational patterns are different between tumors in the same person, different between people with exact same cancer and yet the one constant across all cancer types is their absolute requirement for glucose and Glutamine. Both fermentable fuels provide ample energy and bio synthetics for growth and division.
What is the gold standard for finding cancer the PET scan. What does the pet scan screen for? Glucose uptake in metabolically active tissue.....CANCER
WHY do cancer cells drastically unregulate insulin receptors? To siphon out glucose to out compete their competition, normal cells.
Insulin is both a nutrient sensor and growth factor.
Any diet that removes or drastically reduces glucose and calories to a lesser degree will put ample stress on cancer cells. You are taking their main fuel and source of building blocks from them. Many case reports have shown tumor perversion slows, and in some cases the tumor recedes.
You can not target gene mutations because they are diverse, and there is no set pattern of defective genes of which to glean a pattern from. There is no discernable patterns, and the genes are associated with metabolic peocess.
Fasting works, vegan diets work if you keep net carbs very low. Properly formulated Vegan diets not based on junk food tend be low carb and lower calories. Raw veggies for example are high in Fibre, low in sugar and low in calories. It's also low in protein.
Don't conflate
i like it that the cliffhanger is if shes dead
🎉✊🏼🙏
uhhhhhhh ummmmmmm uhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhh
Worked wonders with Steve Jobs
Dr McDougal did a nice video about this. The vegan diet kept him alive way longer than he should have e survived.
This guy has THE MOST OBNOXIOUS WAY OF SPEAKING. LITERALLY. Watching a y other youtibe video, Ive never cringed so bad, in anticipation of what word my come out his mouth next 😬
It’s very good if you want to learn. If you can’t get past someone’s voice you’re childish.
First here. 😊
The voice of this presenter is annoying
Then don’t watch it. I think he explains the concept greatly by incorporating various medical studies. Something you may not understand.
Hello nutrition fiction. Correlation doesn't equal causation. 😂😂😂
What are you, a Big Pharma lobbyist?
You still have no need to eat animals obviously
@@VeganLinked that's your opinion and you're entitled it. I would say you can survive, it's not necessarily ideal.
Absolute BS. If it reversed than it was wrong diagnosed.
