Cancer cells thrive on sugar and inflammation. Dr. Quillin's program starves tumors while fueling healthy cells through scientifically-proven nutritional strategies.

Core Nutritional Strategies:

1. Ketogenic & Low-Glycemic Eating:

• Cancer cells preferentially use glucose for fuel (Warburg effect)
• Reducing carbohydrates starves cancer while preserving healthy tissue
• Ketones provide clean energy for normal cells but cancer cells can't use them efficiently
• Stabilizes blood sugar and reduces insulin—a growth factor for tumors

2. Anti-Inflammatory Superfoods:

• Chronic inflammation fuels cancer growth and metastasis
• Turmeric, ginger, green tea, berries, and omega-3s reduce inflammatory markers
• Colorful vegetables provide polyphenols that modulate immune response
• Cruciferous vegetables activate phase II detoxification enzymes

3. Targeted Supplements:

• Curcumin: Inhibits tumor growth pathways and reduces inflammation
• Vitamin D: Regulates cell differentiation and apoptosis (cancer cell death)
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Reduce inflammation and improve treatment outcomes
• Probiotics: Support gut health, which houses 70% of the immune system
• Antioxidants: Protect healthy cells while selectively targeting cancer cells

4. Intermittent Fasting Windows:

• Fasting periods enhance autophagy—the body's cellular cleanup process
• Reduces insulin and IGF-1, both of which promote tumor growth
• May improve chemotherapy efficacy and reduce side effects
• Supports stem cell regeneration and immune function

5. Alkalizing the Body's Terrain:

• Cancer thrives in acidic environments
• Plant-based foods help maintain optimal pH balance
• Proper mineral balance supports cellular function
• Green vegetables, citrus fruits, and mineral-rich foods optimize terrain

The Complete Approach:

Dr. Quillin's program doesn't rely on a single "magic bullet" but instead uses a comprehensive, multi-targeted approach that addresses cancer from multiple angles simultaneously. This synergistic strategy has helped thousands of patients improve their outcomes and quality of life during cancer treatment.
