These are the miracles we are looking for! Let me share what is hopefully another such miracle, something simple, you can do at home, without even needing expensive supplements: simply, avoiding carbohydrates as much as possible. I started a ketonic diet a few months ago, so I do not yet have results to report about.

By making the body burn fat instead of carbs the cancer is deprived of glucose, without which it is supposed not to do well, whereas the rest of the body does fine on "ketones" (energy from fat) - maybe even better. After all, our real ancient forefathers and mothers lived most of the time like that. Also, this has been used for years as an anti-epilepsy diet; and it is in use as a weight-loss diet (but when you love eating things like nuts you won't have to lose weight).  

You have more of a choice what to eat when you are not also vegan (as I am). You find quite a lot, just googling for ketogenic diet against cancer.

Maybe it sounds rather terrible to give up, bread pasta rice, potatoes, cake and pizza  but  for me after only one difficult day it turned out not to be bad at all. Like the squirrels I enjoy eating nuts and seeds (also sesame paste), and raw (also cooked) vegetables and every day a few berries (mmmm with added walnuts, cacao powder and a bit of sesame paste).  All the time I learn to make another very tasty combination. Wouldn't it be wonderful to slowly starve the cancer while continuing to enjoy food?

I have also read that cancer cells can mutate themselves to also feed off of ketones when starved enough...so confusing.

If the cancer would gradually mutate to a kind which can live on ketones, then the ketogenic diet would still provide extra time - not so different from the pills from the onc. which work only for some period.  See also  http://authoritynutrition.com/ketogenic-diets-and-cancer/
