Primary peritoneal carcinoma (but not caused by BRCA1/2 - she doesn't have the gene defect), it's pretty rare I believe.
It's a cancer of the lining of the peritoneum (the lining of your abdomen that contains all the major organs). Started off there, spread down into the lining of the pelvis, and recently up into the pleura and to the lymph nodes.
Above my head... not going to pretend to have anything intelligent to say about that.
With this I just take the standpoint that as soon as I see peer reviewed evidence of it actually working, in some form of trial, I will believe it. Until then, all there is out there are various different diets, and clinical trials showing that they have failed to cure cancer.
Well, that's your right.. but what if the doc in the vid I posted had the same mindset? Her life would suck, rather than her giving a TED talk about her miraculous recovery.
I'm sold on diet reducing incidences of cancer though, I think anyone with more than a few brain cells should have a good diet rich in veg, fruit & low in red meat.
Grass fed beef and it's organ meats are one of the best sources of nutrition
most people can get. Perhaps you don't digest it well, and it's not right for you...idk..but my lineage is largely native american and they grubbed down on some bloody red bison...and I'd be a fucking fool to not eat red meat. Grass fed and corn fed beef have entirely different macro nutrient breakdowns. Corn is shit food.. basically an anti nutrient. Cows weren't meant to eat it any more than humans were and it's in almost everything you buy at the super market, due to government subsidiaries and it's incredible versatility. IMO the number one contributor to America's health and obesity epidemic is GMO corn. Do you know what GMO corn does? It kills the insects that eat it by degrading their intestinal walls. America now has to import it's pig intestines from New Zealand (where they have banned GMO) in order to use them as sausage casings, because the intestines from the pigs in the US that have been fed GMO are too brittle and will break, thus making them useless for making sausage. Did you know pigs genetically resemble humans closer than almost any other animal? Did you know that it has taken 3-4 generations to see these problems in the pigs? As humans with longer lifespans, we have yet to reach the generational threshold where we will begin to see the full effect of GMO corn on our societies health... but it's already starting to show. So yeah, lower your corn fed beef intake for sure, but keep your diet moderate in grass fed beef and wild salmon... those are some of the best sources of omega fats you can get. You know, what your brain is made of.
My favorite saying: "You aren't what you eat, you're what you eat has eaten."
There was a study done on 478,000 europeans and their diets incidentally, which showed the impact of fruit/veg in diet on cancer risk:
Eating Vegetables Doesn't Stop Cancer - NYTimes.com
Quote:
The data translates into a 4 percent lower risk of cancer for every two extra servings of vegetables a day a person eats.
Quote:
For instance, a person with a 10 percent risk of getting cancer over the next eight years would, at best, lower his or her risk to just 9.6 percent by eating two extra servings of vegetables a day.
It's something, but by no means as preventative as you seem to think a good diet is. There's also correlation/causation problems. People that eat more veg are less likely to drink and smoke as much for example, both of which are carcinogenic.
I really don't think you can put this into concrete percentages as you keep trying to do. This isn't Google's algorithm we're talking about here. But for argument's sake, lets assume that you can..
So according to the NY times (wonder if they have any owners that have stakes in big pharma?) study that you feel is definitive enough to cite as supporting evidence in this winner take all, uber important WF debate.. Eating an extra 2 servings of veggies lowers my chances of getting cancer by 4 percent? OK.. What kind of cancer does this lower my chances of getting? What kind of veggies did they eat? Did they all eat the same veggies? Was anything else in their diet changed? Were they GMO veggies? If I ate four servings of those vegetables would my chances be reduced by 8 percent? What if I ate 8 servings of kale, the most nutritionally dense vegetable, what would my chances be then?.. The same as if I ate 8 servings of cauliflower?
What if instead of adding 2 servings of canned green beans to my shitty diet, I instead ate 6-7 servings of a mixture of fresh kale, spinach, asparagus, seaweed, blueberries, kiwi, apples, and sweet potatoes in addition to my diet consisting of grass fed beef, organ meats, and wild salmon for protein and fat sources.. and coconut oil, avocado, and almonds for additional fat sources, and it was all eaten in a way that was based upon my activity levels so the carbs would actually be used by the body rather than shot directly into the blood stream causing huge insulin spikes and thus inflammation which leads to the degradation and aging of cells... What would my chances be then?
I wouldn't be foolish enough to try and put a percentage on it, but I fucking guarantee you it would lower my chances of getting cancer by FAR more than what's quoted in the useless study you posted.
