A member asked:

Are there any ways to starve cancer cells without blocking food from the healthy cells?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Starving cancer: The data in animals is extensive, but human data is sparse. Trials are ongoing and some safety trials have already completed. Ketogenic diets may show promise in this regard.
