My Pancreatic Cancer Defies the Odds, and I Believe This Alternative Treatment Helped

Teri Cettina writing for Prevention magazine:

"For several weeks after getting this news, I could barely function. It seemed that my only hope for a cure had been ripped out from under me. Then, by pure coincidence, I ran across an intriguing book: How to Starve Cancer...and Then Kill it With Ferroptosis by Jane McLelland. This book opened the door to an entirely new world of unconventional cancer treatment and to patients who were working with open-minded doctors to direct their own care.

"How to Starve Cancer isn't a book about food or lack thereof. It's actually part memoir, part geeky medical research by a London-based woman who survived stage 4 cervical cancer. McLelland's self-studied treatment includes using a cocktail of fairly well known, nontoxic, generic drugs and natural supplements to block cancer from growing.

"The FDA-approved drugs McLelland describes were originally developed for use with other medical conditions, including diabetes, high cholesterol, and ulcers. In recent years, though, researchers have found that these drugs may have anti-cancer properties. Using these drugs to treat cancer instead of their originally targeted health conditions is considered "off label" use."
