SUGAR DOESN'T FEED CANCER OR STIMULATE IT TO GROW . . . INSULIN DOES

"Sugar doesn’t feed cancer or stimulate it to grow . . . Insulin does."

Excellent discussion on how to treat cancer, all kinds of cancer, by focusing on methionine restriction.  Apparently, animal protein, and protein of all kinds, is high in methionine.  So the goal, according to Mark Simon, is to restrict production of methionine in order to restrict the growth of tumors and to shrink them.  One diet that helps achieve this is an all-fruit diet for 6 weeks.  Fruit has very little methionine.  Fruits also contain protein, and therefore contain methionine, so you'll want to consume fruits with lower levels of methionine.  What this restriction does is create an oxidative condition inside the cancer cells.  Remember that cancer cells do not do well in an oxygenated environment.  A lot of people take anti-oxidant supplements to fight cancer cells.  Turns out that anti-oxidants have a protective effect on cancer cells by protecting the protein outer layer of the cancer cell.  What you want to achieve, according to Simon, is to pierce through and break that hard protein shell on the cancer cell and oxidize it.  What confuses me a little is that a lot of fruits naturally contain anti-oxidants, like Vitamin C, E, and others.  If one is supposed to avoid anti-oxidant supplements, how then or why would a diet rich in fruit be beneficial whereas anti-oxidant supplementation would not?

Next, one will have to deal with the problems with eliminating the cancer tissue.  As the cancer cell tissue breaks up it is still toxic.  Perhaps no longer cancerous but still poisonous to your digestive system and blood stream where it has to pass through during elimination.



One product that Simon recommended was Sodium Selenite.  Most brands cost under $20 with some costing as little as $6.  It sounds like a powerful cancer treatment.  WiseGeek has this to say about Sodium Selenite:
Chemical selenium from sodium selenite has both advantages and disadvantages. One advantage is that the supplement is antimicrobial. Another is that of all the inorganic forms of selenium, including monoselenodiacetic acid and selenomethionine, sodium selenite has proven the most successful in thwarting cancer in lab tests. A disadvantage, aside from the alleged toxicity, is that the sodium-selenium compound is not as bioavailable as natural selenium.
What Sodium Selenite does, according to Simon, is it provides the enzymes necessary to break up cancer.  As part of the all-fruit diet, he highlights the powers of pineapple and papaya.

Life Extension points out the benefits of taking all 3 forms of selenium:
Generally, we ingest selenium from a variety of plant and animal sources in several different forms, each of which has its own unique suite of activities. The three forms of selenium most important in cancer prevention are sodium selenite, L-selenomethionine, and selenium-methyl L-selenocysteine.
These three compounds differ in the way your body handles them, and in their impact on your risk for cancer.31 For example, the organic selenium compound L-selenomethionine is better absorbed than inorganic sodium selenite.32 But inorganicsodium selenite more effectively increases genetic expression of the main selenium-containing antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase.33In general, the three selenium compounds complement one another in the ways they affect your body's expression of important proteins involved in cancer prevention and suppression.34 In addition, all three selenium compounds induce cell death in various cancer types, but each compound is better at destroying some cancers than others.34,35Within the organic compounds, differences exist. L-selenomethionine increases cancer cell death by apoptosis, for example, only in cells with an intact "suicide" gene called p53.34 Selenium-methyl L-selenocysteine, on the other hand, induces apoptosis in mutated cancer cells that lack this vital control mechanism.34The totality of this data indicates why both the organic forms of selenium (L-selenomethionine and selenium-methyl L-selenocysteine), plus inorganic sodium selenite, are required to kill off all incipient cancer cells that might be developing in your body.

Chris points out, too, that it isn't the sugars that makes a tumor or cancer to grow; it is something else.  Insulin does.  Insulin is a tumor-growth promoter.
