We have built up a database (n = 68 in May 2019) for the cancer care that falls outside the conventional medicine. Here, individual forms of care and dietary supplements are presented approximately in the order in which they occur in the reviewed patient descriptions. We have also included scientific studies. More details can be found in this table (in Finnish): http://turpaduunari.fi/taydentavia-ja-vaihtoehtoisia-syopahoitoja/
A BASIC MODIFICATION OF THE DIET

Leave the milk products, purify the drinking water
Reduce the consumption of meat, start with a macrobiotic diet, increase the alkalinity of the diet, organic food choices
Freshly squeezed juices, vegetable smoothies, Ayurveda and ayurvedic herbs, plenty of water, green tea in abundance, fasting
Sour fermented products, kimchi, Korean fermented food, lactic acid products including a Boris drink
Gluten-free diet, live food, not at all alcohol, kefir

CANCER RESEARCH FOCUSING ON DIET
Daniela D. Weber, Sepideh Aminazdeh-Gohari, and Barbara Kofler. Ketogenic diet in cancer therapy. Aging 10 (2): 164–165, 2018. Ketogenic diet has been examined clinically in Austria at the University Hospital at Salzburg. This high-fat diet stopped the growth of a malignant cancer tumor. It is believed that the mechanism for this comes through the Warburg effect, a biochemical process in which the cancer cells produce energy (ATP) mainly using glycolysis (they utilize blood sugar) instead of applying oxidative phosphorylation (oxygen is used to generate energy). In some cancers, growth is stopped if there are many keto substances in circulation in the blood. Healthy cells can utilize keto substances in their growth. Thus, it would be desirable for normal, healthy cells to grow in the ketogenic environment where cancer cells thrive. In addition, the lower blood sugar lowers the insulin and the insulin-like growth factors (IGF), which have the property of increasing the growth of cancer.

In this study, all the investigations were collected all the way up to the year 2017, where clinical trials with ketogenic diets were carried out and, in addition, all the animal tests performed. The results showed that for cancer patients in some individual cases, ketogenic diets were beneficial and the animal experiments were even more evident on this point. In fact, 72 percent of the animal studies showed a beneficial effect of the ketogenic diet. Although the clinical trials were not as clear, it is worth noting that ketogenic diets could not be linked at all to a deterioration of the cancer. More surveys are desired ..

Chung HY, Park YK. Rationale, Feasibility and Acceptability of Ketogenic Diet for Cancer Treatment. J Cancer Prev. 2017 Sep; 22 (3): 127-134. doi: 10.15430 / JCP.2017.22.3.127. Epub 2017 Sep 30. In this research, all the cancer experiments that had ketogenic diets as a common denominator were gathered. The patients who found the ketogenic diet suitable for themselves and who utilized it in the future, benefited from the dietary change. The weight was kept in control, biomarkers for cancer pointed to a recovery, and in other parameters that examined health, progress was discovered. Clinical trials are still too small to be able to include the ketogenic diet in conventional cancer care. Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5624453/

Nutr Metab (Lond) Aug 12, 13:52. doi: 10.1186 / s12986-016-0113-y. ECollection 2016. In the clinical trial, 17 fatal cancer patients participated, whose disease was at such a serious stage, that chemotherapy was no longer given, they were advised to start with ketogenic diets. The diet improved the quality of life for 11 patients. Everyone couldn’t start with the ketogenic diet (there were various reasons for this). Those who started with the diet and who found the diet appealing lived a longer life than those who completed the diet during the trial period or after it. One patient had eaten ketogenic and was alive even after 131 weeks (2.5 years). The research has the NCT01716468 registry number in the Clinical Trials database.

Betulin from birches can slow down the growth of cancer cells in certain cancers via a special mTOR brake mechanism. Cell metabolism is governed by the mTOR mechanism and this is extremely interesting and there is a lot of research in this area. When the mTOR part of the cell metabolism is prevented then the cancer cell dies in lack of energy. Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27908730/

CANCER RESEARCH ON THE IMPORTANCE OF EXERCISE
WCRF / AICR Systematic Literature Review Continuous Update Project Report, 2018. Exercise prevents the damage caused by conventional care and helps patients overcome the cancer. Exercise improves the function of the intestinal tract and this is important especially in gastric cancer. When you exercise, you burn more calories and you can get rid of your overweight, which is one of the cancer’s many risk factors. Physical activity is mediated to the cancer patient in the form of improved immune defense, lower insulin levels and attenuated prostaglandin activity.

STUDIES OF ALTERNATIVE CANCER THERAPIES
Gerson Therapy (PDQ®). Health Professional Version. PDQ Integrative, Alternative, and Complementary Therapies Editorial Board. Published online: April 11, 2016. Gerson therapy is a fairly sought-after alternative form of cancer care. This includes a strict diet, enema with coffee and some other measures. Gerson therapy has cured many very ill cancer patients according to the Gerson Institute’s own investigations. Independent and controlled surveys are missing and this report is therefore skeptical of the results achieved in the Gerson therapy. Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK66029/
