A modern-day ‘Cancer Sherlock Holmes’, Jane discovered that a cancer-starving diet, powerful supplements and a handful of old, forgotten, low-toxicity drugs, when taken together, acted synergistically, magnifying each of their anti-cancer effects many times. Like magic, her terminal cancer just melted away.

In this truly ground-breaking book, Jane takes us through her remarkable, heart-breaking journey, and the medical discoveries she made on the way. Using herself as a human guinea pig, she worked out the best drugs and supplements to starve her own cancer in an easy-to-follow ‘Metro Map’. She has expanded this route map to show which fuel pipelines you need to block for every type of cancer, so you too can create your own cancer-starving cocktail. Tragically many simple old drugs have been overlooked in the race for the latest patentable 'game changers’. Is the answer already out there? Jane believes it is. Bit by bit she has pieced the puzzle together, demystified its complexity, and produced a simple protocol.

This book will answer all the burning questions you face when you begin to explore complementary cancer care. Which ‘off-label’ drugs and supplements should you take? Should you try the ketogenic diet? Should you fast? Is fat safe? How much and when should you exercise? Jane explains why each patient needs a personalised approach and, importantly, how to work this out.

This book, part Erin Brockovich, part Dallas Buyers Club, is a compelling story of resilience and determination in the face of impossible odds. If you or a loved one has cancer, you absolutely must read this book. Even if you have been told that nothing more can be done, Jane will show you this is almost certainly not true.

“So powerful and relatable. Often in medical books the science overwhelms and dilutes the narrative arc but because of Jane's compelling and dramatic personal story the book promises to hold the reader. Beyond the personal narrative, the strategy Jane used to get well is at the very forefront in the war against cancer. The use of re-purposed drugs in oncology is gaining traction worldwide. Additionally, and perhaps most importantly, is Jane herself. We were both speakers at a recent charity event in London. Jane spoke last, and when she finished, I'm not sure there was a dry eye in the room. She received the only standing ovation at the event. Her story is so powerful; tragic yet triumphant, and relatable to anyone who has had a foot in the realm of the sick. Jane is a fantastic speaker. She has the rare gift of being entirely genuine. Her story: of a terminal diagnosis in the prime of her life, self-discovery, and path to wellness driven by her own conviction and research has the ability to inspire hope and wake the medical community up to a powerful new tool; the use of combinations of repurposed drugs.” Travis Christofferson, author Tripping Over the Truth

“All patients and their relatives need to read this book.”
Professor Justin Stebbing, Professor of Cancer Medicine and Oncology at Imperial College

"Jane’s clinical reasoning is impressive, her experience is compelling and in the combination of these two elements she has crafted a narrative that, like the anti-cancer metabolic cocktail she champions, is destined to positively enhance countless lives.”
Dr Ndaba Mazibuko, Clinical Research Fellow, King's College London Care Oncology Clinic

“Jane’s story will inspire anyone reeling from the shock of a cancer diagnosis to take control of their own destiny.”
Lois Rogers, freelance health journalist, Sunday Times

Review

'I read the book in one day and took ten pages of notes, especially the references. It reads like a novel but is well organized with excellent references to put the theme of 'Starving Cancer' cells as part of a paradigm shift away from traditional protocols.It is a “must read” for the brave individuals with progressing cancers who want a better choice than a poor ultimatum and for medical doctors to understand the other side as a patient.' George Yu, Clinical Professor of Urological and Pelvic Cancer Surgery, George Washington University Medical Center.

The best book for anyone wanting to take control of their cancer!!!

Reviewed in Australia on 2 July 2018

Verified Purchase

I really can't recommend this book enough, it's one of the best books for anyone wanting to know more about cancer & anyone wanting to take control of their cancer.

I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Coloretal Cancer in late Dec-2017 & found Jane's FB page when doing my own research.
Her FB page is full of great information, clinical studies, personal stories, & a great community with lots of really helpful support.

Jane has now released her much anticipated book, telling her story in great detail of how she beat cancer, using a unique blend of both Traditional & Alternative medicines, & combining a group of cheap Off-label medications, that have clinical studies showing their benefits beating cancer.

I've started taking several of the medications mentioned, 3 months ago, & I'm now showing exceptional reduction in all my tumors!!!

This book is Honest, Heartbreaking, Empowering, & packed full of very helpful & detailed info for anyone dealing with Cancer.

Amazing story and insight into fighting and curing cancer

This is a facinating account of one woman's cancer survival journey after a termial diagnosis and how using specific combinations of existing approved and safe drugs and supplements to starve the cancer's metabolism - its ability to feed and proliferate, it can be turned around, even at a late stage. For cancer sufferers, and oncologists who have an open mind to enhancing their current treatment approaches, this is a must have resource.

If you or a loved one has cancer this book could be a life saver. It provides a new approach to treating cancer that is well researched and backed by scientific logic. No black magic stuff. If only I had read this book before embarking on a conventional treatment program (surgery: failed, radiation: failed) it could have saved me so much pain and heartache. Her approach, so far, is working for me.

My Cancer Bible

Reviewed in Australia on 12 February 2019

If you or a loved one is unlucky enough to receive a cancer diagnosis and you're desperate to cut through the bullshirt, your search is over. This is it.

Keto, Paleo, Gerson, veganism, raw foods, juicing, CBD, THC, B17, IV C, black seed oil, curcumin, energy healing, chemo this and chemo that, UGH. Everyone thinks they have the silver bullet, including Oncologists who seem hellbent on keeping up the facade of knowing everything. (Spoiler: They don't.)

Then Jane McLelland arrives and changes the landscape. She's walked the cancer path herself and is here to bring some sense back to cancer treatment.

Though it's often stated cancer loves glucose, it loves quite a few other things as well. Some cancers love fat (take note, Keto-goers!) and others prefer glutamine (hello, carnivores!). Most can adapt their fuel source and some feed from all three macros with ease. All cancers have multiple pathways that a few diet tweaks do little to address. Jane takes us much, much deeper into Cancerland and shares her map with us.

Jane’s entire body of work is evidence-based with references galore. So if you're worried about this being quackery, worry not. She also advises to use the protocol alongside some mainstream treatment or at least with the guidance of an openminded clinician. She does recommend the Care Oncology Clinic in London (with a sister clinic in the US) but imho, even they’re not taking it to Jane’s level.

If you lack a science background, this isn't an easy read. A nursing degree helped but didn't take me all the way. I needed to go over the material many times before it started coming together. Don't let this put you off, though. Read a few pages, do a little googling, get a cup of tea and then dive back in. All the foundational need-to-know material is summarised in section two starting on page 301 of the paper version. So if you’re in a hurry, start there and work backward. I bought both paper and ebook versions but find the ebook invaluable for searching and cross-referencing.

In short, How To Starve Cancer is essential reading for everyone living with cancer and those who love them. It also holds crucial information for cancer clinicians who desperately need to get a clue and the courage to use it.

I’m so grateful for Jane McLelland and her work.

Interested in surviving cancer - buy this book

Reviewed in Australia on 25 December 2018

This book provides a road map (or as Jane MCLelland calls it a metro map) as to how to “starve cancer” and then hopefully “kill it”. Everything she talks about is researched and has a scientific basis. The whole book is a compelling read but if you are in a hurry simply go to Part Two: The Metabolic Protocol or better still simply read and then re-read the summary at the end. I have both the hardback version of the book for browsing and also the kindle version which allows me to search and research Janes’s recommendations and comments. Just buy it.

A cancer bible must have for anyone affected by cancer

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 June 2018

Verified Purchase

I was hesitant to write a review as I don't know if I can do this book justice.
I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in October 16. I was pretty much told there was a bit of palliative relief available but that I could expect to die within 2 years - if I was lucky. Lucky?! No cancer in my family and never thinking it would happen to me, I had nowhere to turn and on the heels of a damning prognosis I started searching for success stories, anything to help, scouring the internet for people who've turned this around. Truly petrified.
I came across Jane and her Facebook page a few months later and threw my out pouring of grief and confusion onto the page and I had so many helpful and genuinely positive responses that I actually finally felt maybe I wasn't doomed just yet. With the help and guidance of the page I managed to regain some control of my situation. Being able to pick the brains of real people is so helpful. Jane herself often comments and offers advice and is very much 'hands on' on the page too which is testament to how much she wants to help people.

I remember seeing her mention that there might be a book... of course we were all then desperate to read it!

It arrived on my kindle shortly after midnight on release day . I had waited up for it and I started it straight away.

Jane gives a true and honest account of what must've been a horrific time for her. You get drawn into Jane's story and you can't help but admire and be in awe of her tenacity and her absolute belief that she could beat her cancer. It's personal enough to feel her pain and certainly as a cancer sufferer to feel empathy for the despair of chemo side effects and having no hair etc but also its educational and I've already started reading it again with a pen and paper.
The second half of the book is the 'science' bit. This I had to read slowly to take it all in. Jane captures that perfect point between scientific and full of explanations but also straightforward and easy to follow.
I've already spotted areas in my own situation where I'm not doing things right and now I can understand those areas in a much more accessible way than just randomly googling and hoping to stumble across the answer.
I have drawn up my own 'spot of bother' chart, written a list of supplements to explore and started researching to find an integrative Dr to help me with dosing etc for optimal response.

It is not just a book, it's a cancer bible must have for anyone who isn't prepared to sit back and die just because a Dr has told them so. Many Drs could do with reading this book..
Next step for Jane - hopefully a clinic!

A PERSONAL TOUR DE FORCE: FINALLY & ULTIMATELY 'DE MYSTIFYING' CANCER'S MALEVOLENCE!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 October 2018

Verified Purchase

I initially hesitated to write a review and NOT because this 'game-changer' of- if I may say so- THE ultimate Do It Yourself Cancer -Compendium was not 'worthy'! Quite the opposite in fact! No, it was because all the other wonderfully uplifting and heart warming reviews on Amazon echoed MY sentiments absolutely!
I was diagnosed with Stage 3c ('at least', as my Oncologist poetically put it!...), Ovarian/Peritoneal Cancer in July 2016; and I had my 1st Chemo'; whilst in hospital being 'drained' of malignant ascites the day before my birthday!!! after the unspeakable mind-numbing disbelief I was quickly 'swallowed up' in the Cancer virtual 'reality' world with rounds of Clinic and hospital appointments. I was given 6 IV treatments of 3 weekly Carboplatin/Paclitaxel, Chemotherapy
. At the end of my 4 months Chemotherapy I 'enjoyed' (I was on a 'high', having 'escaped' all the evil 'doings' that those drugs could have dumped on my compromised system) a brief respite before I had a complete Hysterectomy in January 2017, with an appendectomy thrown in for free! I recovered quickly and without
complications/serious side effects. Consequently I felt 'reborn' when 'It' was ALL OVER and I could just get on with my life; after all I (naively!) reasoned had I not kicked Breast Cancer's (stage 2B oestrogen receptive with 6 FEC Chemotherapy treatments followed by 4 weeks of Radiotherapy a subsequent Mastectomy?) ass in 2004 without a backward glance? Silly silly me!
The only thing I may say here is that grief,poor sleep patterns, CHOCOLATE, low thyroid and general dissatisfaction with one's life did NO
favours for yours truly.....enter my next and brand 'new' Cancer 12 years on!
My carefree 'Cancer-free' existence screeched to an unexpected and ungracious halt: at the beginning of this year, I had my recurrence 'It' re-visited me (actually the malevolent 'goblIns'/ aka stem-cells had NEVER left me had they?) and I was once more in the 'Ovarian-world' and starting the familiar rounds of Chemotherapy. I am still having Chemotherapy 8+ months on although I now have weekly 'taxol' having sustained 2 allergic reactions to Carboplatin.
Enough of moi and enter the INDOMITABLE J McLELLAND and her, to quote Professor Thomas Seyfried, 'monumental accomplishment'....
If I had NOT stumbled across such a book-although I would call it a silent but dynamic 'friend' constantly cheering you on - I KNOW that my Palliative Cancer would have the last word sooner rather than later, because my particular treatment options are rather sparse on the ground....
THIS is the power of Jane's gift and offering of both herself and ALL the scientific, Oncological, data and scrupulously, meticulously backed up information that she brings to bear on all who take the opportunity to avail themselves of nothing less than a dazzling vista that demonstrates the palpable, exciting hope and ultimately Cancer-free progression that her 'OFF LABEL DRUGS COMBO'; in conjuction with the low GI diet and careful 'relevant' supplementation can/does achieve!!! For the first time the previously hard to assimilate intricacies and the living realities that are 'multi-pathways', are mercilessly sliced open with the cool precision of any consummate surgeon and revealed to us non medical persons! Blimey! We can now truly be pro active with our treatments and beyond because we now 'have the power'!!!! If we so choose of course.
Since I started the Off Label Drugs Protocol at The Care Oncology Clinic, I have noticed 'changes' to my condition; without going into all the highly personal and 'delicate' details, I was having serious 'problems' in my pelvic region and in a relatively short period of time those symptoms have improved considerably! At first I thought it was just a 'coincidence' and that it was soley the 'taxol' that I was having but I am now convinced that the real improvement has been facilitated - aided and abetted by the 'taxol' - by the 3 off label drugs that I take: METFORMIN, DOXYCYCLINE, ATORVASTIN and 'VERMOX', alongside Jane's 'favourite' Berberine plus a few more others!
Finally I urge all you who have any reason whatsoever at all to want to read such a 10 STAR BOOK, then please DO if only for one reason; nothing short than A LIFE; of light and hope exists for those of us who have felt 'reigned in grief' and powerless with our prognosis and the inevitable that surely awaited; more Chemotherapy until the body just 'gave up the ghost'....Jane explains ALL this and so much more in a captivating and compassionate narrative
If 'Fortune favours the brave' , it unequivocably DID with THIS author !!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 June 2018

If you've got cancer, this is THE book to read. I'm about a third way through as I'm writing this. I've already learned some critical knowledge that I hadn't previously realised could be so important. I've been obsessed about health & nutrition all my life. Just one of the new insights I'm learning, only from reading this book, is that certain foods and supplements that are healthy and positive for preventing cancer, or preventing or treating cardiovascular problems, diabetes and other chronic health conditions will actually support the development and spread of cancer if you've already got it.

There's so much more in the book than that obviously. Including the huge motivational force that Jane transmits. To take responsibility - to get beyond the fear, anxiety, apathy, resignation, reliance on the standard of care alone, etc. It’s clear you and your team can beat this most threatening foe given the right knowledge and tools and confidence! Jane has provided the map to what is otherwise an unknown territory.

Too much of a biography and not enough practical information

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 November 2019

Verified Purchase

Since I was first diagnosed with Cancer 8 years I had often thought of writing a book about my journey and sharing the things I had learned but was afraid my book would be too personal and boring. In effect I was afraid of writing a book like this.

72% of the book is a biography of her journey - and whilst it is nice to learn of others' journeys so you can compare and share, I found this a little hard going and much of it unnecessary. I bought the book because of the title 'How to starve Cancer' and for it to be only a quarter of the actual content was very disappointing. It really should be re-titled 'My journey with Cancer and how i starved it' but I guess then, someone looking for practical help would not buy it, thereby reducing sales!

Like the author, 8 years ago, I spent months looking into my Cancer, various non-traditional treatment alternatives and new research, I would bombard my oncologist with questions about new research etc upon every meeting (to which, I might add, he was very accommodating). But while it is good to relate various possibilities to actual experiences etc this book is a bit much. Once it did get into the nitty gritty of actually starving cancer and the how-tos, for anyone currently faced with trying to defeat this monster, they would be faced with a difficult task to take the information and put it into effect. Basically, if you are currently fighting Cancer and what to take charge and be a foot soldier yourself and get into the battle rather than watch from the sidelines as doctors prescribe all their traditional treatments (all of which, without exception, are toxic to you as well as the Cancer) read other books before you read this one! I have read numerous books over the years, often gleaning some insight or practical advice from them but with this one, the first time I read it I found it confusing and overwhelming. It took a second read for it to be of any use to me (and this is coming from someone who has read many books, many research papers and several medical textbooks which are usually not easily available to the public).

The author made, what I see as, quite a flippant remark in: "Unlike others who wait until cancer returns before acting, I was proactive." I found this to be extremely harsh. A majority of cancer sufferers struggle with the diagnosis, then struggle with the reality of it all and their first point of call is traditional medicine which they then put their full trust in. After all, the 'cure' figures are good aren't they? After 5 years they get the all clear and believe their struggle is over and try to get on with life. Very few actually realise, that there is no real cure, certainly not one that is achieved after a one off treatment plan. For most the cancer will return and yes, while I agree with the author, that it is prudent to continue some sort of action plan yourself, for the majority this is not the case but only because they trust in the health system. I found the comment ill thought out and self-righteous. The minority who pursue a continued regimen against cancer, they usually end up writing books about it!! That should say a lot.

All of the curative suggestions in the book are through drugs in one form or another. This in itself can only lead to further problems. Long term use of prescription drugs, we know, leads to additional problems other than those symptoms the drugs are intended to treat. It would have been nice to know that some natural therapies had been followed. Something that is less harmful to the body and has potential long term possibilities to incorporate into your lifestyle.

In short, I would have to say. This is clearly the route the author took to attack and defend but personally I see little difference long term, between this and traditional toxic treatments. There are many more books that should be read before you embark upon any advice given in this book.

Learn for the experience of those who survived

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 October 2018

As a person diagnosed with cancer in 2014 i have spent much time exploring and researching information from many different sources to support my ongoing journey. I am a nurse and very aware that our NHS model of care is pharmaceutical medical focused. Health is complex. Illness is complex. Healing within the NHS framework feels limiting. Frameworks intended to standardise and create consistency have inadvertently become barriers. For me the most valuable available evidence stems from those who have been diagnosed with cancer and either achieved remission, healed or are living well managing their cancer or a very close relative's cancer. If you assess motivation to get it right those people have it. Jane's book offers valuable experience with specific links to her underpinning evidence. Her approach to presenting the information is very helpful and if you need further discussion or clarity this is available through her facebook group. I highly reccommend this book to anyone (patients and practitioners) seeking a detailed understanding of the metabolic approach to addressing cancer. This is very unlikely to be an approach you have been offered within your treatment so adding it in gives you another tool to achieving health. Thank you Jane for sharing your research and learning.
