Pushing The Limits Cancer Treatments: Starve Cancer, Be Free From It with Jane McLelland
Cancer treatments in modern medicine often have long-lasting and harmful side effects. While modern treatments like chemotherapy can be useful in some cases, not all cancer patients need to — or should — resort to it. When cancers aggressively develop, patients are often told how many weeks they have left to live. Why is this the case when there is still hope to be free from cancer?
Research and clinical studies have found natural therapies and dieting are possible cancer treatments. The truth is, you can starve cancer cells without harming your body!
In this episode, Jane McLelland, author of How to Starve Cancer, discusses how cancer develops in the body and what causes dysfunctional mitochondria. She shares the importance of starving cancer cells and why cancer treatments should vary based on the type you have. Don't lose hope; you can beat cancer. Understand how it works metabolically and you’ll soon be on the path to recovery.
If you want to learn more about beating cancer by starving it, then this episode is for you!
Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:- Understand how cancer develops in our bodies and why mRNA can help us detect early cancer.
- Learn why there is no one correct approach to cancer treatment. Instead, focus on understanding the principle of starving cancer by blocking specific pathways.
- Discover Jane’s recommendations on what to focus on for cancer treatment.

- Jane shares that she was first diagnosed with cancer when she was 30. Her cancer developed to an advanced stage over a prolonged screening.
- Her mother had stage-IV breast cancer and passed away a few years later.
- As her cancer developed further, Jane felt that the medical industry wasn’t helping her enough.
- There was already research on how glucose serves as a fuel for cancer. However, Jane found out that cancer can also metabolise glutamine and protein — even lipids.
- Jane wrote her book to help people starve cancer without starving themselves. Starving cancer is about being blocking the different chemical pathways that cancer uses.
- In 1924, Warburg found that cancer cells use sugar up to 20 times more than normal cells; this an indication that cancer is a metabolic disease.
- Jane argues that cancer is linked to the microenvironment and often develops when a patient has inflammation.
- Inflammation can develop due to obesity, exposure to carcinogens, and more.
- Hormonal influences can also promote cancer growth. These influences include exposure to xenoestrogen, plastics, microwaves, and microplastics.
- These influences can change mRNA to trigger changes in the mitochondrial DNA, leading to cancer development.
- You can prevent cancer as long as you understand what’s causing it.
- Dysfunctional mitochondria are a symptom and not the cause.
- It's critical to look at changes in the mRNA to detect early cancer.
- There isn’t a lot of data regarding mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines and their long-term effects on the human immune system.
- We need to be careful about what we’re putting in our bodies and their potential consequences.
- For example, high doses of Vitamin E and NAC may be inappropriate for specific cancers.
- Jane shares that small doses of NAC can be beneficial when you're trying to kill cancer and improve immunity post-chemotherapy.
- Stopping glutamine transport is also helpful to block fuel transport to cancer cells.
- Cancers work differently and can have different fuel sources. No single approach will beat all cancer types.
- For example, B cell lymphoma is responsive to ferroptosis. However, you need to ensure that this method kills only the cancer cells and does not affect the brain.
- HDAC inhibitors are also viable cancer treatments.
- Jane recommends having low to normal homocysteine levels by sometimes taking vitamin B. Cysteine can help provide backup replenishment for cells.
- When you're trying to induce ferroptosis and have high homocysteine, the cancer cells may utilise the homocysteine instead.
- This is why your homocysteine levels should be low before starting ferroptosis for cancer treatment.
- Most medical practitioners are often not updated with the latest clinical studies and tend to dismiss them.
- For example, high doses of Vitamin C can be used as a pharmaceutical, and not an antioxidant.
- There are ways to treat terminal illnesses even when medical professionals tell you otherwise.
- Jane’s book is a simplified discussion of cancer metabolism and how cancer develops.
- Current cancer treatments often don’t focus on earlier phases of cancer development.
- You need to tackle every phase of cancer and stop the tumour environment that helps cancer grow. Diet can make a huge difference.
- Ketones and hydroxybutyrate are also HDAC inhibitors and can help with ferroptosis.
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can also help since cancer cells can't thrive with high oxygen levels.
- Lisa shares that her mother is currently following the Riordan Protocol. They use a blend of Vitamin C, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and ketones.
- Fenugreek can help stimulate the production of free radicals, but you need to avoid antioxidants like luteolin and green tea.
- You need to ensure you're getting the desired effect in the right phase. The kill phase tends to be more specific.
- In the full episode, Jane discusses how berberine and metformin can help lower cancer markers.
- Jane recommends being careful with taking DCA since some brands can cause inflammation.
- Deoxy glucose is like fake glucose that the body recognises as glucose, but cancer cells don't.
- Melatonin can block glycolysis pathways.
- Jane recommends being selective when taking her course. You don’t need to learn about every single pathway. She recommends focusing on glycolysis, glutamine, fats, and lipids.
- Jane shares what she did to block her cancer pathways in the full episode.
- Over the years, starving cancer has become the critical key to curing cancer.
- Remember that cancer is about the metabolic pathway. You need to have the right combination of supplements and cancer treatments.
[01:51] "...if you're at all affected by cancer in your family, if you have high-risk factors, one in six of us is going to get cancer at some stage in our lives, and you need to know this stuff."
[09:11] "...the trick was trying to find ways that would actually starve the cancer without having to go on starving yourself."
[16:44] "I think a lot of people stop the estrogen, and I think it's a good idea, in many cases, to reduce or your estrogen exposure. That can be plastics, it can be cooking in the microwave, just all sorts of, you know. Now, it's just about everywhere. We've got tiny bits of microplastic in the air as well now. It's just pervasive."
[18:29] "There are these viruses that can cause cancer, and I think it's a combination of the influence of kind of like these things acting a bit like a parasite."
[23:38] "People should have the choice of doing that [going unvaccinated] if they want to run that risk. But the problem is it's putting other people at risk, and you get slated."
[27:03] "You have to tailor your approach a little bit. Is it feeding more on glutamine? Is it feeding more —? What are the mutations?"
[35:50] "...you have to fight for your rights. You really do. When it comes to this, they don't have the answer for cancer."
[53:10] "But it's all about getting the correct effect..you've got to be a little bit careful that what you're doing with one thing doesn't counteract something else. "
About Jane
Jane McLelland trained as a Chartered Physiotherapist and was able to win the Sarah Leeson Memorial Award as a promising student. She then worked in the NHS and private practice for 12 years, specialising in orthopaedics and neurology. From 1994 to 2004, Jane battled two aggressive terminal cancers. For that reason, she put together a cancer-starving formula using natural therapies, exercise, and diet to save herself.
After her recovery, Jane advocated for off label drugs for cancer therapy and wrote the book How to Starve Cancer. In 2019, she won the title of "Amazing Women Global" from the Lifetime Achievement Award.
