Reports from various domestic media outlets on March 25th reveal that a woman's drastic weight loss of 44 pounds was attributed to her deliberate attempt to starve tumor cells in her body by undergoing extreme dieting.
Medical professionals emphasize the unscientific nature of such behavior, as it does not effectively "starve" the tumor. There is no scientific evidence suggesting that fasting directly leads to the disappearance of tumors. On the contrary, excessive fasting deprives normal cells of essential nutrients while tumor cells continue to thrive by scavenging nutrients from the body, ultimately compromising the patient's health.
Modern oncology stresses the importance of adequate and balanced nutrition for cancer patients. Common foods such as eggs, tofu, milk, and meats are beneficial as they provide essential proteins necessary for maintaining nutritional equilibrium and supporting immune function, thereby enhancing the body's ability to withstand treatment.
Therefore, it is imperative for cancer patients and their families to consult with medical professionals or nutritionists to develop a sensible dietary plan that ensures the patient receives sufficient nutrition, thus facilitating better treatment outcomes.
