@gisellef ,

Thank you for your post!

The book by Dr. William Li "Eat to Beat Disease" and his YouTube interviews are fantastic! I highly recommend his book.

The YouTube video with Dr Li that convinced me of the scientific evidence for food is titled "Healthy Foods that Heal the Body, Starve Cancer, and Prevent Disease". Dr. Li's medical, scientific, and research background on this topic is both impressive and encouraging.

I was recently diagnosed with Stage 1b Lung Cancer in my left lower lung at Mayo. My doctors at home and at Mayo Rochester have been following the ground glass opacity on my lung for
4 years. It now has a semi sub solid component that is positive for early cancer on a PET scan.

I am now following Dr Li's nutrition guidelines, which includes lots of specific fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, no processed foods or sugar.

I am not strictly eating plant based foods. I include aged cheeses and milk for calcium, and occasional organic chicken, and eggs.

I decided to only eat one meal a day between 11-1 and fast in between without snacking to try and starve the cancer of glucose and nutrients it needs to grow.
