## Description

The Metabolic Approach to Cancer: Integrating Deep Nutrition, the Ketogenic Diet and Non-Toxic Bio-Individualized Therapies : Nasha Winters, Jess Higgins Kelley: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Impressed with this book. Authors know their stuff - 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.
Review: Outstanding wisdom - a powerful book by two inspirational women. - 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.
