So what does everyone eat!

Jaybee_007,

The references that you gave look like my login password.
Couldn't recover those docs but found what I was looking for.

Approach is very interesting. However, I would be concerned with
the following:

"... Animal studies have demonstrated that severe, prolonged methyl deficiency
induced by dietary restriction of methionine, choline, homocysteine, and
folate leads to global demethylation of normal liver DNA and resultant
increased susceptibility to DNA strand breaks (Pogribny et al, 1995).
Inhibition of DNA methylation by methionine restriction may therefore
make cancer cell DNA susceptible to damage. [0011] Methionine is also
required for synthesis of polyamines, which have far- ranging effects on
nuclear structure and cell division . . . "

I feel like we are using a loaded gun, hoping to do more damage to the
cancer cells, than the healthy cells. May be worth discussing with your
nutritionist?

I think, to answer OP's question, plants, and lots of them. But also, it's a matter of what I don't eat (or severely reducing eating)...animal protein, sugar, processed/fast foods, soda. It is no secret the typical 'American' diet is calorie rich and nutrient poor.

I'd also point out, there is a direct link between processed meats and cancer....

Let the bashing of the WHO begin

There also this grouping of studies ( I know there is a term for this kind of publication, but can remember what the word is....effing Lupron ):

Jaybee . . . further reading seems to alleviate my concerns.

It appears the methionine restriction has been used
for up to 10 months without undue adverse effects
on patients. That is, without diet rotation, I believe.


Billybob and others, it appears to me that the approach
described in this patent would be applicable to more
advanced cases that appear on this forum, as an adjunct
to ongoing therapy.

That is the link to the paper I attempted to post. The other thing that I meant to say as a point of clarification is that I am NOT on a low methionine diet, I am on a methionine depletion and repletion diet, as is explained in the paper. It cycles back and forth between methionine restriction and methionine satiation, so there is never any danger of fatty liver or other serious complications from methionine deprivation.

It is a work in progress, and I am hoping for the best result, because I am kind of desperate at this point in time.
