For some reason, many patients do not want to hear that if they make some lifestyle changes, it may reduce their risk of cancer, recurrance or even help fight cancer.  But for those who are interested this sounds like a very interesting trial, which focuses on the approach I have been taking with regard to my diet.

    This trial is still accepting applicants.  They will accept patients with active cancer and those who are in remission.

    Diet

    I essentially eat a Paleo diet and have been for 6 years, under the advice of my naturopath.  Organic, veggies, and pastured meats.  During chemo, it can be challenging to eat for a day or two after treatment.  My naturopath recommended smoothies made wtih full fat coconut milk.  You can add protein powder, prerrably a clean product.  Also, bone broth is easy to eat and heals your gut, which the chemo is a bit rough on.  Eat fewer carbohydrates and as little sugar as possible, as research shows that sugar contributes to cancer growth.
