LOW-FAT FAT RECIPES for CANCER & More

The question is, why would the old lose weight and have poor cancer outcomes on a low protein diet when the youngers have the opposite outcome on the same diet?
I think their answer is that the old need more protein because they are unable to process it as well as the youngers and without enough protein they become malnourished. Does that make sense?

Older bodies have accumulated and stored more iron and unsaturated fats, which makes for a very unhealthy environment to be fighting cancer when they are released, from not getting enough protein. A young body doesn’t have that accumulation.

“There are different types of statistics that can help doctors evaluate a person’s chance of recovery from testicular cancer. These are called survival statistics. A specific type of survival statistic is called the relative survival rate. It is often used to predict how having cancer may affect life expectancy. Relative survival rate looks at how likely people with testicular cancer are to survive for a certain amount of time after their initial diagnosis or start of treatment compared to the expected survival of similar people without this cancer.

Example: Here is an example to help explain what a relative survival rate means. Please note this is only an example and not specific to this type of cancer. Let’s assume that the 5-year relative survival rate for a specific type of cancer is 90%. “Percent” means how many out of 100. Imagine there are 1,000 people without cancer, and based on their age and other characteristics, you expect 900 of the 1,000 to be alive in 5 years. Also imagine there are another 1,000 people similar in age and other characteristics as the first 1,000, but they all have the specific type of cancer that has a 5-year survival rate of 90%. This means it is expected that 810 of the people with the specific cancer (90% of 900) will be alive in 5 years.

It is important to remember that statistics on the survival rates for people with testicular cancer are only an estimate. They cannot tell an individual person if cancer will or will not shorten their life. Instead, these statistics describe trends in groups of people previously diagnosed with the same disease, including specific stages of the disease.

The 5-year relative survival rate for testicular cancer in the United States is 95%.

The survival rates for testicular cancer vary based on several factors. These include the stage of cancer, a person’s age and general health, and how well the treatment plan works.

The survival rate is higher for people diagnosed with early-stage cancer and lower for those with later-stage cancer. For testicular cancer that has not spread beyond the testicles (stage 1), the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%.

For testicular cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes in the back of the abdomen, called the retroperitoneal lymph nodes, the 5-year relative survival rate is 96%. But this depends on the size of the lymph nodes with cancer.

For testicular cancer that has spread outside the testicles to areas beyond the retroperitoneal lymph nodes, such as to the lungs or other organs, the 5-year relative survival rate is 73%.”

“One of the primary risks of a full-body scan is radiation exposure. CT and PET scans both use radiation to create detailed images of your body’s internal structures. Your body is exposed to large amounts of radiation during CT or PET full-body scans. This exposure can increase your risk of cancer.

When a full-body scan is used to check the extent of an injury or to see how cancer is progressing, the benefit tends to outweigh the risk. Because the benefit of a full-body scan as a cancer detection tool is currently unproven, the FDA doesn’t recommend full-body scans for cancer detection.

Other risks of full-body scans include false positives that can lead to unnecessary testing and false negatives that can cause people to ignore their symptoms.“

A Full-Body Scan for Cancer: What are the Risks and Benefits?

A full-body scan for cancer is an imaging test that scans your whole body. Due to the risks, a full-body scans isn't recommended as a cancer screening test.

“…a recent study indicates that cancer patients who take low-dose aspirin daily experience a 21 percent reduction in mortality. Furthermore, there is evidence of aspirin's role in preventing cancer metastasis.”

“The metastasis or spread of cancer is a major cause of death in cancer patients, and platelets play a significant role in this process. Aspirin can inhibit platelet aggregation, thereby reducing the spread of cancer cells. The comprehensive review in the BJC found that aspirin can lower the risk of cancer metastasis by 38 percent to 52 percent.

Additionally, aspirin plays a role in promoting DNA repair. Errors may occur during the replication of DNA, and the human body possesses a mechanism for DNA mismatch repair. Once this function is compromised, it can lead to the development of cancer. Research has demonstrated that aspirin can enhance DNA repair mechanisms, thereby preventing hereditary non-polyposis (Lynch syndrome) colorectal cancer and potentially other cancers.“
“The researchers conducted a comprehensive analysis of all observational studies on aspirin and digestive tract cancers published until March 2019, encompassing over 150,000 cases. The results revealed that, compared to patients not using aspirin, those who regularly took aspirin had a 27 percent reduced risk of colorectal cancer, a 33 percent reduced risk of squamous cell esophageal cancer, a 39 percent reduced risk of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and gastric cardia, a 36 percent reduced risk of stomach cancer, a 38 percent reduced risk of hepatobiliary tract cancer, and a 22 percent reduced risk of pancreatic cancer. However, there was no significant change in the risk of head and neck cancer.

For colorectal cancer, taking a daily dose of aspirin between 75 and 100 milligrams can reduce the risk by 10 percent, while a daily dose of 325 milligrams can reduce the risk by 35 percent.”

“"...In the current study, the researcher's analysis linked a higher body mass index, or BMI, to lower breast cancer risk for younger women across this age group, even for women within a normal weight range. "We saw a trend where, as BMI went up, cancer risk went down," Dr. Nichols remarked. "There was no threshold at which having a higher BMI was linked to lower cancer risk." The largest reductions in risk were for BMI between the ages of 18 and 24, with a 23% lower breast cancer risk linked to each five-unit increase in BMI during this period. At ages 25 to 34, each five-unit increase in BMI was linked to 15% lower risk. There was a 13% lower risk for BMI at ages 35 to 44, and a 12% lower risk for BMI at ages 45 to 54 years.”

I am sure this study will generate a lot of controversy, but the reductions in risk are pretty significant and hard to argue with. The fact that there was no threshold at which BMI started being protective suggests that the protective effect is indeed drive by increased mass. The study only...

BONE BROTH SOUP with Maitake Mushrooms & Onions

1. Gather Ingredients; beef or chicken bone broth, dried maitake mushrooms, organic curry powder, green onions and Maui sweet onion. Heat filtered water to just warm, and pour over about 1/2 cup dried Maitake mushrooms, about 2 servings. Let soften for 10 minutes. Heat 2 cups of beef or chicken bone broth, preferably homemade. Finely chop one or two stalks of green onion (white and green parts) and a lot of slivered sweet Maui onion. Add them both to the broth along and salt well. Bring to a boil and turn down the heat. Pull the mushrooms out of the water, loosely chop, and add to the soup. Save the mushroom water to flavor another soup or to use in a gravy. Cook the soup for several more minutes to soften the mushrooms. Serve the soup with a sprinkle, or more, of the curry powder, or just the way it is. The other version I like of this soup is to make it with homemade chicken bone broth, dried shiitakes, lemon zest and serve it with a wedge of lemon, so summery. You can’t get any lower in fat for fighting cancer than this soup!

“When a study reports a U-shaped curve it means that there is the lowest incidence of disease in the middle ranges, with peaks in both the lower and upper ranges.”

A similar type of graph is sometimes reported as a “backwards-J” shaped curve. In this case the outcome is still the best in the middle region, but the outcome is worse in the low levels than the high levels.”

This explains a lot as to all the controversial studies we see with vitamins, with them being too high or too low. With cancer I see this debate most often with vitamin D and B-12.


“We have previously shown a U-shaped association between pre-diagnostic serum levels of vitamin D and risk of breast cancer-related death, with poor survival in patients with the lowest and the highest levels respectively, as compared to the intermediate group.”

“Benitah notes that such a therapy may be effective even after cancer has started to spread: in mice, experimental antibodies eradicated metastatic tumours 15% of the time. The remaining metastatic tumours shrunk by at least 80%.

This new study found increase in stroke rates in adults ages 19-44, while the rate did not increase for older adults. Thus, the explanation of obesity and other risk factors increasing for this age group are probably not sufficient as obesity has only increased by about 5% (In U.S., Obesity Up in Nearly All Age Groups Since 2008) in the time period studied (2002 - 2014), while stroke rates have increased by as much as 100% in some subgroups. Smoking rates have dropped consistently over the last 20 years, especially in young adults. However, the rising rates of diabetes as posted in the study above certainly match well the increase in stroke as diabetes is a known risk factor for ischemic events in both the brain and heart.“

“For most people, hearing the word "cancer" is terrifying And now a recent research studyindicates that the word may also influence whether people choose treatment. This is important because cancer treatment poses many risks for individuals, not the least of which are treatment-related side effects and long-term effects. In addition, we know that some cancers, such as prostate cancer, may not cause a person any serious harm or even shorten their lives if they are left untreated.

The researchers in this study presented an imaginary scenario to volunteers using a web-based survey. They asked the participant to imagine they were just found to have a small nodule in their thyroid gland. That nodule was referred to as either a "nodule" or "cancer." The participants were told that the chance that this nodule could grow or spread was very low—in the range of 1% to 5%—and the chance of surviving the condition was 99%, no matter what was done.

So, the question being investigated was how comfortable the participants would be with simply "watching the nodule or cancer" as opposed to having it surgically removed. They were told about the risks that can accompany the surgery, including a temporary or permanent change in voice, a scar in the neck, and the possible need to take a pill every day for the rest of their lives. Of course, they were also informed about the very small but clear risk of major bleeding after surgery, which is estimated to be less than 1%.

The researchers found that using the "cancer" label led many people to choose surgery. This tells us that the perceptions and fears associated with a cancer diagnosis may lead reasonable people to opt for more treatment, even if they are reassured that it is possible to watch and wait and that they may never need treatment. In some situations, such as the diagnosis of a precancerous lesion, the degree of anxiety a person feels may be out of proportion to the risk such a diagnosis poses to their overall longevity and health. In other cases, a person with a slow-growing tumor may feel the need to "act and treat," even if there is no evidence to support early treatment. This is because the word “cancer” makes the diagnosis feel urgent, and it is hard to feel like one is "doing nothing."”
