Our research of pubmed over the years has found four natural extracts that limit glutamine use by cancer cells : curcumin, green tea extract (inc. EGCG), quercetin and berberine. I would add a fifth for other reasons : sulphoraphane. All have effects on multiple pathways, such as preventing angiogenesis. Ideally one would be working with a skilled doctor, but as a rough guide, large doses would be needed; up to 20 of each per day; so capsules emptied into water would be best; build up over time. Plus zero carbs, low protein (to promote autophagy - hopefully tumor shrinkage; eg 3 egg yolks) and time restricted eating. And fresh air walks.
The '100 diet' :
* curcumin
* green tea extract
* quercetin
* berberine
* sulphoraphane
Probably best taken with a meal (e.g. leafy greens) drizzled with MCT, coconut or Extra Virgin olive oils.
Add a few tablespoons of Hemp Seed Oil for extra effect (CBD).

From the genetic paradigm to the evolutionary paradigm.
Millions of years ago, multi-cellular organism developed that needed to suppress the single cell grow and divide as much as possible blueprint to work collaboratively. If this add-on code is damaged, a cell can revert to the old, single cell code. Though there is more to it as explained in this video.

Note : prolonged fasting requires more than just water (plus green tea and a little black coffee), such as salt (lo-salt), about 1 and a 1/2 tsp / day (more as needed), electrolytes and other essential vitamins. No sugar, fruit or sweetener. Do research first and maybe start with as little as 1 or 2 days, intervened with OMAD (keto).

Note : Missed curcumin, which has the most support in studies. Take with a little black pepper and EVOO. Up to 5 or 6g / day.
Arguably, curcumin (a turmeric extract), ECGC (a green tea extract) and sulforaphane (a broccoli extract) are the most important three (see pubmed).
Though some are bad - the highly processed 'healthy' polyunsaturate oils; much better to avoid these completely and use butter / ghee, extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil.

BB's summary : Variety, natural, and not too much.
Would have been nice to have a discussion on what vegans or vegetarians should be careful about, the importance of gut bacteria / the microbiome, the timing (limited window for eating), and how people are not all the same, but it is generally correct.

One can see this distinction in the wider society too - East vs. West; cultures with different foundations - long term (family, infrastructure, community, the arts) versus short term (hype, sex, gossip, war). Mature versus immature. We versus me.
The immature mind thinks 'me'; the mature mind understands that life is really about 'we'.
Maturity is when one grows beyond the narcissism phase *.
'I' am just a small part of a bigger 'I' - humanity.
With Dr. Robert Lustig ...
One is controlled when one believes what one has been told (sold).
Freedom is removing these mind chains and seeing reality.

* (footnote) At BB, we think that narcissism is a development phase that most transition out of; but some stay there and it can become exaggerated. The traditional views might also be true; likely, there is an interplay involved.

Aside #1 : Q : Why does BB have so much content about health - nutrition and mental well-being ?
A : Because it is fundamental to everything else; one cannot see the beauty of life if one's mind is mixed up; one cannot live life to the full if one is ill.

Aside #2 : Confucius : One can grow from everybody one meets. On life's journey, one will meet wise people - learn from them; one will also meet foolish people - look deep within to see if one also has these follies.
